Wow, how's THAT for timing? I have had a note to myself here for the past week to jot you a note to point out Weird Al's recording of Bohemian Rhapsody in the wake of the Queen Cover Story. And, hey, I just used your new search function to find out you haven't done a single Weird Al song yet, and all of his polkas would qualify. (Try the "Hot Rock Polka" for all the Rolling Stone covers. It's on the UHF soundtrack.)
And now -- now you've gone and done it. You don't need me anymore. Keep up the good work, Brian!
Posted by: Augie De Blieck Jr. at May 7, 2006 9:58 PMI don't think the Wierd Al "Bohemian Rhapsody" can be mentioned without brining up Lost Rhapsody.
Posted by: Charles Barilleaux at May 8, 2006 9:14 AMWhen I requested RBF, I never thought I'd actually hear my email in the podcast. And yeah, my name is Rosscott but it's normally just Ross. As for the email, I feel it was a valid argument.
Thanks again!
Posted by: Rosscott at May 8, 2006 4:38 PMI'm listening to it right now -- excellent song request, Ross. It's a really cool version of that song.
Now, Weird Al in just another minute or two. Whoo-hoo!
Posted by: Augie De Blieck Jr. at May 8, 2006 9:42 PMInteresting "Musically Challenged" this time, some tough ones. Here's another bit of trivia associated with Boz Scaggs: His backing band for the "Silk Degrees" album which contained "Lido Shuffle" went on to become MOR monsters Toto. Toto leader David Paich co-wrote many of the songs on "Silk Degrees" as well.
Posted by: Monkey RobbL at May 9, 2006 12:56 PMThe 'Musically Challenged' was great, but Brian you let me down. Usually I don't get them if you don't, but I was yelling Tom Cochrane and Red Rider at my computer - a little akward since I was at work...
Also, GW doing Imagine was classic.
Posted by: Bob at May 9, 2006 2:57 PMAnd here I was just about to shoot off an email to Brian asking for RBF's Hungry Like the Wolf. Good stuff....
Posted by: MickeyTGardener at May 10, 2006 5:53 AMWow. Nice selection of music, Brian. I liked hearing the "minor" version of "Imagine" as well as the version with GWB's comments.
I also liked that version of Duran Duran, and I really, really, really liked that Weird Al song.
BTW, does anybody know if a Parody-type podcast exists?
Posted by: Dan at May 11, 2006 1:54 PMWow...I missed this show in iTunes and just listened this morning. That Emotive song sounded like Chris Daughtry. If he put out an album like that, I'd buy it in a sec. Poor guy. He was probably the best performer who never won AI.
Posted by: Len at May 12, 2006 7:41 AMOk, you broke me with this one. I have always liked "Imagine", Queen and Duran Duran.
To have "The Party Party" put together that version was amazing.
Thanks for another great one!
