Bani's Bops

Nov 23, 2024 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Music

With Bani

welcome to bani's bops, a bi-weekly show featuring all the bops i care to feature that week!

if i had a bad week, it will be all sad music. if i had a GOOD week, expect anything from rock, to metal, to ???

in any case, i hope my playlist resonates with you in some way

feeling loved :)

this week I felt a myriad of emotions on the range from alone to loved to in love, and so I'd like to reminisce with my first PRB set ever! plus, some new additions. a remix if you will. real dj stuff.

Edgar Magnayon 6:10:18 PM
hey! tuning in for the first time, driving from queens to new jersey and bumped into your radio. thanks wprb for the cool music :) from maia and edgar
Bani (host) 6:11:29 PM
Oh hi Edgar!! I'm so happy you're here- I hope you enjoy the ride and that whichever bridge you take doesn't have too much traffic
Danosaur🦖 6:13:34 PM
Monkees! Not a Smash Mouth fan but this is a good cover. That synth sounds like a steel drum!
Edgar Magnayon 6:17:31 PM
Omg i took the Verrazano bridge and it sucked - but after two hours we almost back home . Have a good weekend and be well !
Bani (host) 6:17:35 PM
I agree Danosaur! its hard to make a cover that I listen to as much as the original, but smash mouth did it!
Bani (host) 6:18:19 PM
Oh no edgar- I'm so glad you're home!! Enjoy your weekend too, and be sure to listen to PRB whenever you like :)
Danosaur🦖 6:30:26 PM
This is a nice, dreamy tune
Bani (host) 6:30:57 PM
Aww thank you danosaur!!
Danosaur🦖 6:31:05 PM
It's called a lullaby and I can definitely see drifting off to this
Bani (host) 6:32:08 PM
Absolutely, i am daydreaming to this lullaby already
Danosaur🦖 6:33:20 PM
This Cranberries song is a classic
Bani (host) 6:34:04 PM
RIGHT so good
Danosaur🦖 6:34:09 PM
It seems like I remember it being in a lot of TV shows and movies
Bani (host) 6:35:10 PM
yes I was accidentally singing some TV versions just now haha
Danosaur🦖 6:36:48 PM
Ooh, The Cardigans!
Danosaur🦖 6:37:10 PM
I loved this song so much
Bani (host) 6:38:16 PM
it's so good 🥺
Ossy 6:38:55 PM
Hi Bani, OMG so mutual cute Lovefool Cardigans on repeat!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Ossy 6:40:11 PM
AAAAAAAAAAA Greek Princess Megara 💜💜💜💜💜
Danosaur🦖 6:40:47 PM
This has a very Broadway feel to it
Danosaur🦖 6:43:12 PM
This Versus song sounds a bit like a Kinks song to me
Danosaur🦖 6:43:52 PM
That's not a bad thing. Just something about the singer's voice and the changes in tempo
Ossy 6:44:45 PM
This should've happened in Hercules https://www.deviantart.com/deaththeshadow/art/Immortal-Megara-2-896987676
Bani (host) 6:48:09 PM
Ossy, my friend wanted to discuss their thoughts! according to my friend, this would take away from the point of the movie! as if he loves something more than being a god!
Bani (host) 6:48:24 PM
And danosaur, I actually really agree!
Danosaur🦖 6:56:27 PM
Putting on my leg warmers and unitard for this one.
Danosaur🦖 6:56:58 PM
Getting pumped up!
Danosaur🦖 6:57:51 PM
We're boppin' now
Bani (host) 6:58:25 PM
We really be in the bops now
Ossy 7:01:39 PM
Bani - I see what you mean, and Hercules did live on earth his whole life on top of that. On the other hand for that, Meg being a god would've made things more interesting or Hercules living on earth as an immortal, which would be unlikely, cause he'll outlive his beloved!
Ossy 7:03:03 PM
Bani, sending you a virtual hug, cause of playing this of Vivian Green 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Ossy 7:04:30 PM
Remember the time, I recommended you to play Too Intense by Vivian and you loved it!?
Jordan Emile Blum 7:04:31 PM
TY!!!!
Bani (host) 7:05:00 PM
Ossy, from my friend: I don't believe Meg wouldv'e wanted to be immortal right, the idea of Hercules is that he spent his whole life fighting for godhood but then he discovered that the life on earth was fulfillment enough! if he and meg became a god, I believe the story would change entirely :)
Bani (host) 7:05:17 PM
also, OSSY YOU'RE THE REASON I LOVE VIVIAN GREEN SO I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH
Bani (host) 7:05:32 PM
Glad you are enjoying this Jordan!! :)
Ossy 7:06:03 PM
Rest in Power to Frankie Beverly btw, which his Before I Let You Go was the seed to remixes for Vivian and Beyonce
Danosaur🦖 7:07:03 PM
I guess Hercules really mythed out *insert groan here*
Danosaur🦖 7:08:18 PM
Classic soul. So good
Bani (host) 7:09:06 PM
So good! even the pun!
Rob from Maryland 7:09:34 PM
Hello all. I see I missed Versus and Beach Bunny :-(
Danosaur🦖 7:09:42 PM
Ooh, steel drums!
Danosaur🦖 7:10:01 PM
Hey, Rob!
Ossy 7:10:04 PM
And YOU WELCOME Bani, GO GREEN (Fun fact, I got an IG response from Vivian herself, 4 years ago, when I mistakenly thought she was Alicia Keys and Vivian laughed that while she's gorgeous, she and Keys looked nothing alike.....I was shocked that she actually responded back to me, but amused and told her I love her Too Intense and Sweet Memory and Emotional Rollercoaster songs!!(
Rob from Maryland 7:10:18 PM
Hi Danosaur!
Bani (host) 7:10:41 PM
Hi Rob! I'm sorry you missed them, but there is more good music on the way
Danosaur🦖 7:10:47 PM
Nice, Ossy!
Aaron Jelinek 7:12:05 PM
Loving the playlist so far! Thanks for throwing in some TWRP!
Ossy 7:13:11 PM
Bani for your friend, someone told me there's apparently a what if, if Meg opted to live on Mount Olympus being a god...kinda like when Ariel changed her species to be with Prince Eric for the rest of her life, but I know where she's coming from :)
Ossy 7:14:33 PM
Btw, heard of Beyonce's version of Before I Let Go, similar to Vivian's?
Bani (host) 7:14:45 PM
Yayy! Thank you Aaron!!
Bani (host) 7:17:14 PM
I have not heard Beyonce's version??? Adding to my to-do list post show!
Bani (host) 7:17:30 PM
Also I cannot believe you got a response from Vivian, that is so radical
Rob from Maryland 7:17:36 PM
Excellent, Bani!
Danosaur🦖 7:20:44 PM
This song definitely sounds like a Breezy Slide
Danosaur🦖 7:21:36 PM
Breezy Slide sounded a bit like an 80's TV theme song in a good way
Bani (host) 7:23:27 PM
It really does!
Danosaur🦖 7:23:44 PM
I like this Laufey song. Has a really 50's vibe
Bani (host) 7:28:46 PM
Laufey is so awesome
Danosaur🦖 7:37:26 PM
I think we all feel like a tall child at times
Bani (host) 7:38:59 PM
yeah it is a pretty apt description of adulthood
Danosaur🦖 7:40:11 PM
No one ever tells you that you don't get any special knowledge as an adult - you're just expected to know stuff
Danosaur🦖 7:42:49 PM
What monster wouldn't enjoy this music?
Ossy 7:44:05 PM
a mean scary tasteless monster will hate music like this!
Danosaur🦖 7:44:34 PM
Cookie Monster would like it
Ossy 7:44:35 PM

Danosaur🦖 7:45:55 PM
I watched Chicken Shop date the other day and Elmo described himself as a monster. Never realized that
Ossy 7:47:19 PM
Bani - Yes, Beyonce been got a remix version of Frankie's Before I Let GO!! Yes also, so wild and cool to have Green respond to me!!! 💚💚💚💚💚
Ossy 7:47:58 PM
Danosaur- LOOOOL
Danosaur🦖 7:55:37 PM
Thanks for the fun bops and chat!
Bani (host) 7:56:49 PM
Thanks everyone for such awesome vibes! I'm so lucky to be here :) have a great week and happy early thanksgiving! Eternally grateful for you all
Ossy 7:56:55 PM
Just noticing Aladdin 2019's Naomi Scott in here, she was in a new scary movie called Smile 2
Rob from Maryland 7:57:31 PM
Thank you, Bani! Everyone have a good week and a nice thanksgiving
