Happy monday! Time to grab your favorite lagomorphs (and buy your cheap leftover candy)

Sounds like Shuggie Strawberry Letter gtr solo sample there... now the organ from the Be Thankful gang-sto-leen song

... I'm coming out of the record... this happens every g d. time... I want someone to use their fn brains.. ya can't come out of those up tempo numbers and make those transitions .. and now I have to do a gd dog dedication.. and what happened to those pictures i was supposed to see? Is Don on the phone....

I actually had the Kasem rant in a karaoke machine at Burning Man in 1999. People loved it.

Got anything by Dick Rabbit?

OMG that must have been incredible

I'll see what I can find, Andy!

How about Taj Mahal "Squat that Rabbit " feat guest star DJ Jazzy Jeff?

Taj Mahal and....who??? eyeblink.gif

I am still trying to figure out if the the Easter Lagomorph is domestic or feral, but Dick Rabbit? LMAO!

Hi, Dan. Obviously no more covers of White Rabbit, but younger listeners might like the version by the late, lamented Philadelphia band Ruin. Easy to find on YouTube.

I imagine a play non musical where actors recreate all the great rants from Kasem, Orson Welles, Shatner, Col Sanders, Christian Bale etc

It would make for a great episode of drunken history, where folks try to drunkenly remember/recreate them

I once tried to do a dramatic reading of Mr. Tambourine Man, but it was so embarrassing that my wife Shatner pants.

Yeah Taj got all modern and all Philly for his 1991 lp "Like Never Before". Jazzy Jeff, Hall and Oates, Pointer Sisters (he had them before on other lps

this cover art 🤘

THANK YOU! TAJ FUNKS OUT!

Bought this when it came out. On cassette! HEY! HEY!

This is so wild

This sounded jarring at the time.... what is Taj doing? Now. .. 32 years later. . Makes sense. Fits right in

His Wolf voice.

Ya! When he growls that Wolf voice!

The day where it is decreed from the space rabbits that all children must eat candy for breakfast... This always ends well and is always a great idea.

Hi, Brian. Dan, you can't play Bill Hicks riff on Easter. It's 90 seconds, but has words inappropriate for radio. Easy to find. He mentions rabbits.

This is great!

Too bad, Marcus. I'll listen to it from the comfort of my own home after the show

Say "rabbit rabbit" as the first thing you utter on the first day of each month for good luck acc to superstition.

Weird that "Bunny is a Rider" apparently has no connection to of Montreal's "Bunny Ain't No Kind of Rider"

The little girl in Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt states that superstitions have been 100% proven wrong.

I heard 'hey bunny give me a kiss ' there in the Spanglish / espingles

speak of the devil

Rob, it was on the list, so it was a nice little nudge

Xui Xui did a song "Bunny Gamer"

haha nice. Here's the tweet I found about it https://web.archive.org/web/20211215013431/https://twitter.com/carolineplz/status/1470928933398921219

Due to incomplete data at the National Statistics Institute 4 out of 5 statistical surveys have been found to

artist Eddie Rabbitt?

Any particular song, Mok?

Please continue, Brian...

his hit was I love a Rainy Night but there may be better

just remembered Basketball Get Your Groove Back has that repeated bunny jump line

That's the bad joke there Marcus... incomplete eh

At first I missed your point.

And then there's Neutral Milk Hotel's The King of Carrot Flowers

That pickin' on the Stanley Bros... whew hot hot hot pickin'

Where we commerate the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children that a large bunny rabbit left chocolate eggs in the night. Sorry to steal the Bill Hicks riff.

good morning!

Elmer Fudd on safari. lol

"Hunting the wabbit, hunting the wabit..."

requesting rabbit face by chinese stars

That can be arranged, Russell

okay one more.. mr rabbit by paul westerberg

Oh, that's a good one too. I'll see if I can fit it in

if rabbit overload exists...this is it

Clearly you never read Watership Down

Touché

I was expecting Samantha and Eva. Who wasn't?

Quite the coney stew today Dan. Hare, hare! Cheers!

Great to hear Steve Lacy. I saw him once.

Oh wow. Definitely jealous!

Thanks for tuning in y'all! May we collectively ward off the rabid rabbit invaders for another year!
