KLOS, the LA rock station has been doing that for decades as well.JoseUnidos wrote:One of the local FM stations plays a snippet of the chorus from "Drive My Car" (and the "toot-toot beep-beep" part) whenever they do the local rush-hour traffic report, which is at least once every 10 minutes for the past I don't even remember how many years.
I really hate that song.

Is that 95.5? I remember cerca 99-01 it was, for a classic rock station, really good.tepista wrote:KLOS, the LA rock station has been doing that for decades as well.JoseUnidos wrote:One of the local FM stations plays a snippet of the chorus from "Drive My Car" (and the "toot-toot beep-beep" part) whenever they do the local rush-hour traffic report, which is at least once every 10 minutes for the past I don't even remember how many years.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

My favourite Rutles bit is "named, of course, for the famous Cuban revolutionary, Che Stadium". LOL

Whenever I see Yoko, I think of her Rutles counterpart in a Gestapo uniform, "whose father invented World War II." Also Dirk/McCartney describing his career ambitions as writing songs and selling them for a lot of money.Inder wrote:My favourite Rutles bit is "named, of course, for the famous Cuban revolutionary, Che Stadium".

Re: The Beatles song you're thinking about right now thread
My Mum decided a while ago, after the last 39 years of having the Beatles being pumped in her ears, that she really hates Paul McCartney's voice and it ruined 50% of their songs for her. I thought about it for a while and I've just hit the same point, where I deeply dislike something indefinable about his timbre. Great songwriter, but he may as well be doing his husky yodeling thing constantly for the emotional connection I can make to McCartney songs now.

I know what you mean. I was never much a fan of his voice either, even some of his songs in general I never liked.Silent Majority wrote:My Mum decided a while ago, after the last 39 years of having the Beatles being pumped in her ears, that she really hates Paul McCartney's voice and it ruined 50% of their songs for her.
