Best song with radio effect in it: "After the Dolphin" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Or at least its the first song i thought of 🙂
"Around the Dial" by the Kinks. Opening track from "Give the People What They Want"
"AM Radio" by Everclear, appropriately, and the transition from "Have A Cigar" to "Wish You Were Here" on Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here".
Brian – Richard Berry wrote and performed Louie Louie long before the Kingsmen: http://www.louielouie.net/03-richardberry.htm
Shoot – I don't know why I said the Kingsmen. I even have the Richard Berry original, and I think I've even played it on a show! (forehead slap)
Well, I would have probably just e-mailed you (about the Amazon link, which you've already corrected!) but since the Kingsmen were actually cited on the show itself…
Looked on the cover search feature, and it would appear that Louie Louie has NEVER appeared on Coverville before this week, including the Berry version, which I find difficult to believe, though I have no specific recollection.
The one I think of with the radio effect is "Noone Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age, which finishes with a Spanish radio host back-announcing them.
That effect is used throughout the entire "Songs for the Deaf" album.
I agree with Brian. If you start a Chat Roulette story, you have to finish a Chat Roulette story.
I disagree – at this point, I think that the actual story would be sufficiently anti-climactic compared to my imagination that it should pass into legend alongside Calvin's "spaghetti incident".
I'm imagining the connection – a guy in his late-30s squints disbelievingly into the monitor, then hurriedly hides his "TITS OR GTFO" sign. He asks politely whether Tina's learning to use the internet in order to talk to her grandkids, and asks for stories about how it was during the last depression…
Do You Remember Rock 'N Roll Radio? By the Ramones.
Roger Waters was fond of the "radio tuning" effect, as he used it on Radio Waves (as you mentioned) and also famously on the Pink Floyd song "Wish You Were Here." Also, on his 2007 – 2008 tour he had a visual of a radio on the big screen behind the stage and showed a hand coming in to change the station (by turning a dial). He returned to that visual a few times during the show.
Mexican Radio, how could I have forgotten?
Love the Josh Rouse version of Cotton Eye Joe. I was only previously aware of the Rednex version and when I heard the Josh version I thought "wow, this is very, very different" and I absolutely loved it (not realising that it was the Rednex version that was the very different one. It made me go and listen to the Nina Simone version (not as good) and a couple of others.
I absolutely love it when Coverville introduces me to versions that so different to the ones I know and love and give me something that I like just as much. I've even just watched Easy Virtue today to see where the 1920s version of When The Going Gets Tough fitted into the film.
Most of the fuzzy radio bits I remember were mentioned, though I'll throw in Radio #1 by Air, and Radio Song by Superbus.
