This week Rob is joined by guest presenter Simon. The theme revolves around films of concerts and music festivals. Starting off is The Cure from their concert film The Cure In Orange featuring their big hit Close To Me. Probably the most lauded concert film was The Band’s: The Last Waltz. A highlight was their version of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. The film of the famous pop festival Woodstock showcased Neil Young’s introduction into Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for their epic Suite :Judy Blue Eyes. The Aussie answer to Woodstock was the Sunbury Pop Festival in the early seventies. Very few female singers took part. One exception was Aussie troubadour Margaret Roadknight with her sardonic Girls In Our Town. Finally Elvis made a comeback film for television in 1968 which featured many of his hits including One Night.

Over the years we have all been told by parents and/or friends to “do this” or “don’t do that”. With that in mind we decided to present a catalogue of songs featuring DOS and DON’TS. Manfred Mann’s 1964 version of Do Wah Diddy Diddy introduces the show followed by other Do songs including the Captain and Tennille’s timeless romantic ballad Do That To Me One More Time, Bobby Freeman’s self-penned Do You Wanna Dance and the Beatles Do You Want to Know a Secret. The LGBTQIA+ community is represented by Dusty Springfield and Lesley Gore with their Don’t songs. Don’t Change was INXS’s entry into the international charts and the legendary Buddy Holly ends the show with It Doesn’t Matter Any More.

For this program, Rob and Mossy have chosen two seminal years in their lives. They discuss what happened back then and some of the songs that were trending. 1964 was a huge year for The Beatles. They toured Australia and secured the top six spots in Australia’s yearly chart. I Feel Fine was one of those songs and they also featured in 1969 with Get Back. The opening song for 1964 was the unusual The Girl from Ipanema performed by renowned saxophonist Stan Getz and American-Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto. Other big hits in 1964 were Barbra Streisand with People from the film Funny Girl and Dionne Warwick’s version of Anyone Who Had A Heart. 1969 saw Spiral Starecase soaring with their one hit wonder More Today Than Yesterday and Mama Cass with her solo hit It’s Getting Better. Australia was represented in 1964 by Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs’ popular cover Poison Ivy and in 1969 Ronnie Burns with Age of Consent.

There are many songs featuring different royal figures such as kings, queens, princesses, dukes, earls and lords, and ladies. The Royal Guardsmen mined a rich field when they sang about Snoopy, the dog from the famous Peanuts cartoon. Snoopy vs. The Red Baron hit the high spot in the charts in the early sixties. A rare royal is mentioned in Dire Strait’s Sultans of Swing while ABBA’s Dancing Queen and Juice Newton’s Queen Of Hearts draw inspiration from a royal female. Of interest is our own The Easybeats version of an old Chuck Berry song Little Queenie. Teen idol James Darren sings his cynical hit Her Royal Majesty and you will recognise the opening of Gene Chandler’s Duke Of Earl later used in a well known advertising jingle.

B SidesToday we take you into the world of vinyl. Back to the days when we would purchase our single play 45rpm records from a record store. When we got home we would turn the record over and there was another song – the B side. Some of the B sides turned out to be unexpected treasures such as The Shirelles song Boys or The Coasters unusual rendition of the old song Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart. Some B sides became very popular and eclipsed the A side such as Rod Stewart’s wonderful Maggie May or The Beach Boys classic God Only Knows.PLAYLIST* Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart – The Coasters * Man Crazy – Australian Crawl * You Can’t Always Get What You Want – Rolling Stones * Hermit Of Misty Mountain – Ben E King * Into The Groove – Madonna * Maggie May – Rod Stewart * Crazy With Love – Guy Mitchell * Revolution – The Beatles * Boys – The Shirelles * God Only Knows – Beach Boys * For My Good Fortune – Pat Boone * To Be With You – Buddy Knox

In this, our first program for 2024, Rob pays tribute to that wonderful performer, Melanie who passed away last week. Today’s program is different in that Rob recalls his days of owning a bar in Bali called Hulu Cafe. He plays some of the songs the drag queens performed in that bar. Starting with Noel Coward’s saucy Mad About The Boy sung by the great Dinah Washington. Wilkommen was always the opening intro to the shows. Other highlights included drag queen Brenda’s performance of Sarah Brightman’s Harem and Corazon’s knockout performance of the classic I Am What I Am by Gloria Gaynor. The darling of the bar was Angela who performed classic Indian and Spanish dances. Here she performs the cheeky In These Shoes from Kirsty Maccoll. Fittingly, one of the finale songs and the finale of this program was the stirring Tina Turner hit The Best.

WANT AND NEED
Two words similar in meaning, but often misused. They are but a small example of the intricacies of our English language. Songwriters have gleefully latched onto these two words as expressions of strong feelings. Johnny Rivers begins the program with his lament Baby I Need Your Lovin’ followed by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta singing one of the hits from Grease, You’re The One That I Want. Heartfelt ballads such as I Don’t Want To Talk About it from Rod Stewart, I Need You from America and When I Need You from Leo Sayer tug at our emotional strings. In a lighter vein, Cyndi Lauper bounces in with her catchy Girls Just Want To Have Fun and Elvis’s I Need Your Love Tonight. Finally, The Beatles sing the international anthemic All You Need is Love.

INSECTS
They make up approximately 90% of the world’s animal life forms. They are vital to our planet’s ecology, but sometimes they are a pest to Man. One of the nicest insects is the butterfly and Bob Lind used it as a metaphor for love in his beautiful song Elusive Butterfly. Andy Williams takes a different approach to a butterfly in his fifties hit Butterfly. Funky James Brown has Ants In My Pants while the Rolling Stones posit the two enemies in The Spider And The Fly. The old operatic song Glow Worm Is revived by the harmonious Mills Bros. Tony Bennett‘s Firefly extends this insect. Finallly the insect as enemy is demonstrated in the quirky Boll Weevil Song sung by Brook Benton.

Today’s theme takes a musical look at the word ‘Blue’. What makes ‘blue’ an interesting word is how it has taken on multiple meanings. There’s the colour featured in songs such as Elton John’s Blue Eyes and Linda Ronstadt’s Blue Bayou. But in the American lexicon it has assumed a wider meaning- if you are feeling blue you are feeling down or sad. This meaning is scattered throughout many songs such as Neil Diamond’s Song Sung Blue and Don Gibson’s Blue Blue Day. Teen idol, Bobby Vinton sings a pretty song Blue On Blue penned by Bacharach And David. In Australia ‘blue’ has a totally different connotation wonderfully expressed through John Williamson’s classic True Blue.
PLAYLIST
- True Blue – John Williamson
- Blue Eyes – Elton John
- (It’s All Over Now) Baby Blue – Graham Bonnet
- Blue Bayou – Linda Ronstadt

DREAMS, we all have them; the difference is we can’t always recall them. Freud spent a lifetime trying to interpret them. Songwriters have also been somewhat obsessed with dreams.
