	3:09pm Matt in Hillsborough: good god yes
	3:09pm Listener Chrispy: Hi Sheila and Ken
	3:09pm JasonInBoston: Haha! When my former boss went on his honeymoon in Australia, he and his new wife hung out with the husband and wife lead singers of Aqua. Said they were really cool people and totally LOADED $$$$$ from that song.
	3:09pm Listener Robert: I give up, what does the "CF" in the program code stand for? A legacy abbr.?
	3:10pm Parq: For Aqua: A little girl is in line to see Santa. When it's her turn, she climbs up on Santa's lap. Santa asks, "What would you like Santa to bring you for Christmas?" The little girl replies, "I want a Barbie and G.I. Joe." Santa looks at the little girl for a moment and says, "I thought Barbie comes with Ken?" "No", said the little girl. "She comes with G.I. Joe, she fakes it with Ken."
	3:10pm Michele: I love you Sheila! Have fun!
	3:10pm JakeGould: Woo! Go-Gos! I can picture Damone from “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” heading up in that elevator in the Galleria with that ejected “My life…” look on his face right now…
	3:10pm JakeGould: @Parq: Prime joke!
	3:11pm JtotheK: stunned that he is alone in clicky-starring 'barbie girl'!
	3:11pm Listener Robert: CF = Connie Francis? Row C, Friday?
	3:12pm Cecile: JtotheK sings you are not alone!
	3:12pm Listener Robert: CF = Sheila B.'s real initials?
	3:13pm JakeGould: Ken 7 inch? That’s what she said!
	3:13pm JtotheK: hi-o!!!!!! @jakeGould lulz...
	3:14pm dale: i'm getting sheila's premium in my swag hole.
	3:14pm Will: a German punk band did a really great cover of Aqua's Barbie Girl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbKJEagiOgk
	3:15pm Listener Robert: Schlager = hitter, as in the musical beat?
	3:16pm JtotheK: @cecile - hooray -- thanks!
	3:16pm -Ken: OK Robert, slow it down, Bitte
	3:17pm Anonymous Coward: Wow - zero accent, 100% for the English...
	3:17pm Listener Robert: Would the French equivalent of schlage be musique-frappe?
	3:17pm Cecile: this could the theme song for the crime show I dreamed about the other week.
	3:19pm djsheilab: Hello everyone! Thanks so much for being here today. Your support is hugely appreciated. Please call 1-800-989-9368 to pledge!
	3:20pm Passaic River Blues: @Cecile: holy shit, you're right! "They want sin!" and then Conchita Wurst looks directly into the camera and gives a supercilious grin.
	3:22pm Cecile: That's right! Then she bats her eyes. Then we all throw back our heads and laugh as the titles freeze.
	3:23pm djsheilab: "Lazy Afternoon" from my 2017 marathon premium, which you'll automatically get for a pledge of $75 or more!
	3:24pm Cecile: and then the announcer voice comes on: "Act I: A Pickle of a Case."
	3:24pm mark r.: There are obviously a lot of Sheila B lovers out there. Show your love by making a pledge, Boom-Boomers!
	3:25pm dale: i have a german album called 'shlager-tanz parade 69.' a wacky beatles medley on it.
	3:26pm Passaic River Blues: @Cecile: hahaha Love this idea so much. Every week another piece falls into place.
	3:27pm dale: FOUND IT - a polka version of ob-la-di! www.youtube.com...
	3:27pm βrian: Do the phones ring when an online pledge registers?
	3:28pm Cecile: Is there a drawing for $20 and over people at the end? Asking for a friend.
	3:29pm JakeGould: I seriously want a WFMU mispronunciation guide as a premium.
	3:29pm Cecile: dale, I have to hear that. prb: the fates might be willing it.
	3:29pm Cecile: dale, I have to hear that. prb: the fates might be willing it.
	3:30pm Matt in Hillsborough: i gotta see that box set
	3:31pm Adrian in London: "Pledge or we'll send you the Sting box set"
	3:31pm eyenoise: NEVER STING NEVER
	3:31pm Cecile: the band Low were Mormons raised in MN.
	3:34pm Michele: Love this track!
	3:35pm JakeGould: Sting’a children were conceived via tantric sex and raised by Sting.
	3:35pm NotARealDoctor: What on earth is a listener number?
	3:37pm Cecile: I think I saw those Fever High girl stumbling around with a bachelorette party in downtown Mpls.
	3:37pm Guido from Cologne: Go to your profile settings and find the nunmber included in your profile link.
	3:37pm Adrian in London: @NotARealDoctor If you pledge when WFMU sends you swag or communications there'll be listener number on your correspondence. But if you;re a first-time pledger you can just go ahead and pledge anyway.
	3:37pm mark r.: A listener number is a vestige of a bygone era that you don't need any more. But in the old days, it was important. Brian, yes, the phones ring for online pledges, too. It adds to the pandemonium and hysteria. Because you can never have enough of that, especially when the porch is on fire.
	3:37pm Justin from Parsippany: @NotAReaDoctor I had the same question but I didn't want to be the one to ask.
	3:38pm Will: @dale that polka version of Ob-la-di ob-la-da is excellent!
	3:38pm TDK60: Sheila rockin' it along the Hudson.
	3:38pm dave in leicester: off to see jesca hoop in few weeks at Leicester's finest venue the musician very excited
	3:39pm NotARealDoctor: Glad I could be the guy not afraid to ask the dumb question for you Jason! :)
	3:39pm -Ken: Snapchatting today's show at WFMU on snapchat
	3:39pm Ralphine: Hoop sounds a lot different now than she did at Merlefest a few years ago.
	3:40pm dale: will - the stuff you find at the salvay sometimes...
	3:41pm dgg: A very special episode? Is Ken going to try and make Shelia B. smoke marijuana and we'll watch her struggle with peer pressure?
	3:42pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hey Sheila and Ken!!! Excited to hear this pairing and to get some more pledges!!!
	3:42pm Justin from Parsippany: @dale does Stashu know about this polka version of Ob-la-di?
	3:42pm JakeGould: What happened to AmeriKKKa?
	3:42pm dale: i don't know what snapchat is. i still use ask jeeves.
	3:44pm common: sheila, all. happy friday!
	3:44pm common: hey ken
	3:45pm dale: i dunno justin. probably a big divide between polish and german polkas.
	3:45pm The Contessa: Hang on, Sheila's marrying me!
	3:46pm βrian: It's a corporate ephemeral image/messaging service, from what I hear. These things seems to spawn like cluster flies.
	3:46pm Will: @dale you're right, but I think Stashu would dig it. Someone should inform her of it.
	3:48pm Ike: Wait... so you're not joking about the Sting laserdiscs?
	3:50pm dale: this is a way slowed down gothic version of the france gall song - i like it!
	3:52pm Cecile: I never tried Snapchat. The logo is ugly and the filters are ugly, and I get enough ugly with Facebook.
	3:53pm Rob Kopp: I prefer the covers by April March, Fabienne Delsol or Honeymoon Killers
	3:53pm Cecile: ah, Dusty. I feel my "T" levels rising.
	3:54pm Ike: The filters go beyond ugly into deeply horrifying. The kids are into some real body horror these days. Snapchat makes Cronenbergian shit look tame.
	3:54pm Cecile: I'm glad I didn't delve any further.
	3:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: The White House should set up the big orange goof with a Snapchat account. Loads of fun!
	3:56pm Cecile: my dad had a serious thing for Julie London.
	3:57pm common: this is the song
	3:57pm sweeks: Julie London... swooooooooonnnnn
	3:58pm Michael 98145: ooh -
	3:58pm dale: no one had a lazier eye than julie london.
	3:58pm The Contessa: @Ken FHP I rather like your term 'Big Orange Goof'!
	3:59pm dale: just looked at snapchat - yeah, i don't need to cram any more social media between my ears.
	4:00pm Michael 98145: anti-social media
	4:00pm Itzall Ablurr: Wow! Sheila B & Ken killin' it today. I want that Lazy Girl mix but my P.P.D. (pledge per day) limit has already been exceeded.
	4:01pm ɨkɛ: I just tuned back in. Are we talking about what Clay Pigeon is going to play if he gets the morning show?
	4:01pm dgg: lol no.
	4:01pm Michael 98145: highly anticipating my LG mix
	4:01pm common: nothing is worse than sting. but i love the police. just heard voices inside my head today. so good.
	4:02pm common: and yay! i wil flip it over!
	4:02pm dale: huzzah for common!
	4:02pm βrian: Gefiltefisch?
	4:03pm dgg: Haha don't say my last name. I'm fully and totally fulfilled with just hearing "Dave G." which is how I signed my 2nd grade valentines cards.
	4:03pm common: thanks dale
	4:03pm Cecile: ...echoes of things that you said...
	4:03pm dale: was julie singing to jack webb or bobby troupe there?
	4:04pm dgg: See what ten bucks will get you folks? What are you waiting for???
	4:04pm Cecile: dale, probably yes.
	4:05pm dale: bad part about giving my whole pledge to 7sd in one wad means i couldn't try to win extra swag. oh well.
	4:05pm Will: They are free, they played in Olympia, Washington lastnight
	4:06pm JasonInBoston: If I might be able to entice listeners to go for the Philly Sound book prize, take a peek right here: http://theresthatbeat.com/
	4:06pm dgg: @dale - see that's interesting. I've been giving it in drips and drabs - but I'm also missing out on the big prizes. So... six of one
	4:06pm Cecile: One of the most brilliant drag queens I know dreams of being the 6th Spice Girl.
	4:06pm dgg: but I just like to hear people say my name on the radio
	4:07pm dgg: especially Sheila B.
	4:07pm dale: i never knew 'sophisticated boom boom' was a song until recently.
	4:08pm Cecile: It's such a great song. So funny and cool. I'm glad you heard it.
	4:08pm TDK60: Spice Girls were a subversive influence? Who woulda thunk?
	4:08pm JakeGould: Already like the horns on this “Number One in Radio.”
	4:08pm JtotheK: had free (advance) tickets to the 'Spice World' film...so I saw 'Spice World' in the theatre.
	4:08pm Mick: This is fantastic!
	4:09pm Kevlicki: this is amazing! boom boom, and Ken, is on the stereo!
	4:09pm Guido from Cologne: I can even remember the cover art
	4:09pm TDK60: Hey, this sounds a bit similar to "Radio Clash" by Clash.
	4:09pm Michael 98145: always a happy Friday around here
	4:10pm stacykakes: it's the sister song to This Is Radio Clash!
	4:10pm dale: great song!
	4:10pm nickybones: This should probably start every show. haha.
	4:10pm Cecile: JtotheK, a friend of mine had a daughter who was crazy about them, and he ended up being a huge fan too. He said, "people did look at me kind of funny because I was actually sitting with her in the theater when we went to see them and not out in the lobby complaining with the other dads."
	4:11pm Guido from Cologne: agree with nickybones
	4:11pm Parq: This Big Bopper take-off is adorable.
	4:11pm βrian: Jayne Mansfield, born Vera Jayne Palmer.
	4:11pm bkd69: Hey, Jayne Mansfield! Superstar! I don't normally get to listen to this show, but it's anew fave!
	4:12pm Michael 98145: don't recall hearing her sing before now ..
	4:12pm Guido from Cologne: that makes it makes it
	4:12pm Parq: Ass-kicking segue.
	4:13pm listener james from westwood: I had a high school English teacher who was an absolute freak for Twisted Sister.
	4:13pm JtotheK: re: Philly Sound book -- yes, it is amazing! i have to find a saturday to just sit down with coffee/beer and read through it, stopping frequently to take notes and add 45s to the want list... what a great prize!
	4:13pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: TS!
	4:13pm Bronwyn Bishop: great to hear this. we used to play this all the time in college at like 4am.
	4:14pm JtotheK: @Cecile - ha! i remember having advances passes also to Half Baked. quite a double feature - Spice World and Half Baked.
	4:14pm Cecile: TS are a lot like the Dictators. Except they weren't as consistent writers and less funny. Still pretty fun.
	4:14pm Guido from Cologne: the director of the Twisted Sister documentary is a long time WFMU listener.
	4:14pm JakeGould: Pop culture might seem completely worthless to some, but it’s ultimately popular for a reason. Kids get lots of messages from everything and in ways you can’t often understand. Also, TWISTED SISTER!!!!
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Fun to hear this Twisted Sister track!
	4:15pm Parq: Anyone remember him testifying at Al Gore's PMRC senate hearing?
	4:15pm Cecile: I know there was one Dictators guy in there. but that doesn't explain everything.
	4:15pm Will: They're pretty much NY Dolls but more metal
	4:16pm JasonInBoston: @JtotheK-if I might ask, how did you get your copy? They were hard to get for awhile and then we had a pallet shipped over. I must know you by your real name, right?
	4:16pm Matt in Hillsborough: WUDDDDAAYOOWANNA DOOOO WITH YOR LIIIFEE?!?!?
	4:16pm andrewb: the legend i heard was TS sold out the palladium before they released a single
	4:16pm JakeGould: Also the divisions people often make between high and low culture are 99% bullshit. Anyway.
	4:17pm chalmers: During the '80s music censorship hearings, three artists testified. When John Denver and Frank Zappa testified, Al Gore opened his questioning by saying what a fan he was of their music. Third was Dee Snider, Gore said "I am NOT a fan of your music."
	4:18pm dgg: A Booby Prize, in county fair speak.
	4:18pm listener james from westwood: @Parq: I do, and I remember one of the inquisitors referring to Snider as Mister Sister.
	4:18pm JtotheK: @JasonInBoston - thru a 3rd party seller on a 'large online' bookseller. book arrived a week or so before the holidays. b/w i don't know that we've ever met - i'll send you a message!
	4:19pm Michael 98145: Mark Mendoza left The Dictators to join TS
	4:20pm Cecile: A lot of people dated Henry. He was a man about town for a few years there.
	4:21pm JakeGould: Henry Kissinger was hung. I guess?
	4:22pm melinda: @Jake: don't go there
	4:22pm Fuzzy: He should have been.
	4:22pm Doug S.: Good thing WFMU has established a beachhead in Ridgewood with Ridgewood Radio!
	4:22pm Cecile: women dug smart guys. they probably overlooked the evil part.
	4:22pm chalmers: He should have been, @JakeGould
	4:23pm dale: jayne dated joseph kennedy AND two of his sons? that;s just wacky.
	4:24pm Cecile: that happened a lot, dale.
	4:24pm Rob Kopp: Hopefully not at the same time
	4:26pm Passaic River Blues: @Fuzzy: word.
	4:26pm dale: i know gloria graham was married to an some dude and he came home and found her sleeping with her teenage stepson.
	4:27pm BriJet: Yay I love your show Sheila!
	4:27pm djsheilab: THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR LOVE + SUPPORT!
	4:29pm chalmers: Gloria Grahame was Violet in "It's a Wonderful Life," but as @dale notes, her real live took a decidedly Pottersville turn.
	4:32pm JakeGould: This show is saving my Friday sanity… More than usual even!!!
	4:33pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila, Kenneth and music lovers everywhere. I am re-upping my S4L pledge and including this show!
	4:33pm alan from sacto: Hi hi hi. Go djsheilab!
	4:37pm dale: "very great, bad, or overwhelming. "there was this hellacious hailstorm"
	4:38pm P-90: Hellacious can be positive or negative
	4:39pm JtotheK: hey, thanks for the shoutout sheilaB and Ken!
	4:40pm fred: @Ken: On the other hand, I remember your show after Obama was elected. That had a different vibe
	4:40pm JtotheK: is the one record you thought of by Clarence Carter ???
	4:42pm Rob Kopp: Just curious: which German record was replaced for this Relax version?
	4:42pm djsheilab: You'll hear it in a sec @Rob Kopp!
	4:43pm JakeGould: Holy crap!
	4:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Was hoping for Olga, but this is still good.
	4:43pm Rob Kopp: So no repalcement
	4:43pm dale: this does have that frankie goes to hollywood beat.
	4:43pm Will: one of the most important songs in the history of EDM
	4:43pm Adrian in London: @fred I remember walking along the road in west London and hearing DJ Rupture playing A Change is Gonna Come and being so moved. Seems a long long time ago now.
	4:44pm dgg: whats weird is most fundraisers on other stations suck a butt. But WFMU's is actually a blast somehow.
	4:44pm natbot: Hi-NRG!!!! Perfect drive home song. God bless you.
	4:45pm Will: ehh that German accent is terrible
	4:46pm foofs: I'M SLOPPING OUT HERE
	4:46pm Guido from Cologne: never heard or heard of this record
	4:47pm stacykakes: @dale re: Gloria Grahame not just any dude, Hollywood auteur Nicholas Ray. Nick gave Gloria some 'surprises' too.
	4:47pm dale: maybe she was dating a pig farmer.
	4:47pm Listener Chrispy: this song reminds me of my high school dishwashing job we use to sing slop songs while cleaning
	4:48pm dale: stacykakes - all men are pigs (which goes with my previous comment) .
	4:49pm Matt in Hillsborough: that's an insult to pigs
	4:49pm Parq: Gloria Grahame was Ado Annie in the movie version of Oklahoma -- just a girl who cayn't say no.
	4:51pm djsheilab: If you haven't yet pledged, please call 1-800-989-9368. We need you!!
	4:51pm P-90: Killer cover
	4:51pm Cecile: this song never fit with the movie. It's about breaking conventionality, and Grease was nothing but that.
	4:51pm stacykakes: @dale I'm a big fan of Gloria check her out at Debby Marsh in The Big Heat
	4:52pm doctorjazz: O, oh! O, oh!
	4:53pm Mick: So much fun Sheila & Ken! Where else am I going to hear all this and learn about Gloria Grahame and Nicholas Ray's romantic lives?
	4:53pm Will: I've never heard this version before, only the Abba & Klaus Nomi's.
	4:53pm doctorjazz: 2013? Just One Look?
	4:53pm dale: i've seen her in a few noir films. i'll look that one up stacykakes.
	4:53pm Stanley: Jeez - I just gotta get me a record player. so much good stuff out on vinyl nowadays.
	4:54pm dale: the year is probably the cd release drjazz.
	4:54pm Rob Kopp: Great original
	4:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Unfortunately, "Just One Look" evokes memories of a car commercial that used this song.
	4:55pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, this Speedwagon cover!
	4:55pm doctorjazz: I figured that, @dale, but had to be obnoxious.
	4:55pm JasonInBoston: @dale "Human Desire" is also fantastic. Gloria and Glenn Ford together.
	4:56pm djsheilab: 70% of my goal made and just over an hour to go! Take me to the top my lovely listeners!
	4:56pm dale: oh, well this is the place for that.
	4:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: On the other hand, catchy songs that were used in commercials could be a good marathon premium.
	4:56pm Rob Kopp: @Sheila: Have you heard their Roky Erickson-cover Starry eyes already?
	4:57pm Carmichael: REO? I thought you were trying to get pledges ...
	4:57pm P-90: @Cecille: remember, that "Grease" theme was one of the songs written for the seventies movie that was not immediately n the original sixties stage musical about the fifties. The producers were worried that kids wouldn't "relate" to the Doo-Wop-ish original songs.
	4:58pm P-90: * "...not ORIGINALLY in the sixties stage musical" Damn Autocorrect
	4:59pm Cecile: Yeah, P-90, that's why it sticks out. It's a decent song in a really weird context. Sung by Frankie Valli. Hrm.
	4:59pm chalmers: "Hopelessly Devoted" was another song added for the movie that's incongruous. It was if they just threw an Olivia Newton-John single into the film.
	4:59pm Adrian in London: There was a biog about Gloria Grahame's final days called Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool. It's being made into a film, I see.
	5:00pm Marc15: BRAVO Sheila!!!
	5:01pm listener james from westwood: We're not living in the Dark Ages! We have electricity!
	5:02pm Rob Kopp: @Ken: Please don't train our Sheila. We like her as she is.
	5:03pm dale: if you like real doo wop look for tony o's 'dungeon serenade' friday nights on wvkr in poughkeepsie. not that you should listen elsewhere, but fmu doesn't have doo wop so you get a pass.
	5:03pm Cecile: He puts the "bear" in Barry.
	5:06pm stacykakes: @robkopp love Roky's Starry Eyes! @adrianinlondon wow. with annette bening as gloria.
	5:06pm P-90: It was a couple of REAL Disco-era types, Robert Stigwood and Allan Carr, who made that Grease movie. The Gibbs were one of Stigwood's acts, and Frankie Valli was a "fifties" singer who was still scoring hits in the seventies, so I guess he seemed like a natural go-to...
	5:07pm JtotheK: this Patti and the Emblems is very good, hadn't heard it before!
	5:10pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Great Patty & The Emblems track Shelia!!!
	5:10pm Parq: I imagine Googling the band that's doing "Keep On" (and the self-titled album name) would give you a lot of resluts you might well not want.
	5:11pm fred: I love that Singapore A Go-Go comp
	5:11pm stacykakes: @djsheilab englebert h: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fxA7zLLQzY you're welcome.
	5:13pm -Ken: Only two people in the running for this Gwenno CD folks - pledge now and your chances are great to excellent ti win it
	5:17pm dgg: omg is it going to be a special episode of SHUT YOUR EYES WEIRDO???
	5:20pm listener james from westwood: Good gods, the chaperones at one of my Catholic high school dances got so pissed when the original of this got played!
	5:20pm P-90: This is deliciously "Demented Boom Boom"
	5:20pm ncjay: equally as appalling as the original :)
	5:20pm bkd69: I...I can't stop dancing!
	5:20pm JasonInBoston: @sheilab and @stacykakes Englebert's Northern Soul killer - huge want for me. Wait should I be sharing this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLgdpNBX_U8
	5:22pm Joe from Hopatcong: I'm voguing in my car and other commuters are very puzzled
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: Again I'm off early (in NL 23:30). I'm going to watch a few politicians on TV. Next wednesday it's election day in The Netherlands. Hopefully no Brexit or Trump choice over here.
	5:25pm stacykakes: @jasoninboston nice, but he strikes me as a poor girl's Tom Jones on this track.
	5:26pm dale: is this a james bond theme cover?
	5:27pm -Ken: Next prize up: "The Ladies of Too Slow to Disco" double LP set.
	5:27pm The Contessa: This is bloody lovely!
	5:27pm listener james from westwood: @dale: Yes indeed! From On Her Majesty's Secret Service!
	5:29pm JtotheK: @JasonInBoston - oh my, i'm going to have to look for that! i recently found the Glenn Yarbrough Northern Soul 45. Also have the Al Hirt. Still need the Boots Randolph... And at one point had all 3 Paul Anka Northern 45's, but alas...not anymore.
	5:34pm Fuzzy: Brenda's channeling DeBarge here...
	5:34pm JasonInBoston: @JtotheK I just picked up an Italian issue of "Sei Peu Forte Di Me" by Paul Anka. It's him doing "Stronger Than Me", the LP-only Rufus Lumley Northern Soul classic. Paul uses the same backing track. Maybe he wrote that one too. Not sure.
	5:41pm JtotheK: Nice - i don't know that one, will check it out.
	5:41pm JtotheK: excellent show today sheilaB and Ken - thanks very much!
	5:45pm -Ken: Only $476 left to go!
	5:45pm Adrian in London: Ooh, been listening to this Olympians album since yu played it the other week, Sheila. It's so good!
	5:46pm Carmichael: I don't even know what "voguing" is ....

	3:09pm Listener Chrispy: Hi Sheila and Ken
	3:09pm JasonInBoston: Haha! When my former boss went on his honeymoon in Australia, he and his new wife hung out with the husband and wife lead singers of Aqua. Said they were really cool people and totally LOADED $$$$$ from that song.
	3:09pm Listener Robert: I give up, what does the "CF" in the program code stand for? A legacy abbr.?
	3:10pm Parq: For Aqua: A little girl is in line to see Santa. When it's her turn, she climbs up on Santa's lap. Santa asks, "What would you like Santa to bring you for Christmas?" The little girl replies, "I want a Barbie and G.I. Joe." Santa looks at the little girl for a moment and says, "I thought Barbie comes with Ken?" "No", said the little girl. "She comes with G.I. Joe, she fakes it with Ken."
	3:10pm Michele: I love you Sheila! Have fun!
	3:10pm JakeGould: Woo! Go-Gos! I can picture Damone from “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” heading up in that elevator in the Galleria with that ejected “My life…” look on his face right now…

	3:11pm JtotheK: stunned that he is alone in clicky-starring 'barbie girl'!

	3:15pm Listener Robert: Schlager = hitter, as in the musical beat?
	3:16pm JtotheK: @cecile - hooray -- thanks!
	3:16pm -Ken: OK Robert, slow it down, Bitte
	3:17pm Anonymous Coward: Wow - zero accent, 100% for the English...
	3:17pm Listener Robert: Would the French equivalent of schlage be musique-frappe?
	3:17pm Cecile: this could the theme song for the crime show I dreamed about the other week.
	3:19pm djsheilab: Hello everyone! Thanks so much for being here today. Your support is hugely appreciated. Please call 1-800-989-9368 to pledge!
	3:20pm Passaic River Blues: @Cecile: holy shit, you're right! "They want sin!" and then Conchita Wurst looks directly into the camera and gives a supercilious grin.
	3:22pm Cecile: That's right! Then she bats her eyes. Then we all throw back our heads and laugh as the titles freeze.
	3:23pm djsheilab: "Lazy Afternoon" from my 2017 marathon premium, which you'll automatically get for a pledge of $75 or more!
	3:24pm Cecile: and then the announcer voice comes on: "Act I: A Pickle of a Case."
	3:24pm mark r.: There are obviously a lot of Sheila B lovers out there. Show your love by making a pledge, Boom-Boomers!
	3:25pm dale: i have a german album called 'shlager-tanz parade 69.' a wacky beatles medley on it.
	3:26pm Passaic River Blues: @Cecile: hahaha Love this idea so much. Every week another piece falls into place.
	3:27pm dale: FOUND IT - a polka version of ob-la-di! www.youtube.com...
	3:27pm βrian: Do the phones ring when an online pledge registers?
	3:28pm Cecile: Is there a drawing for $20 and over people at the end? Asking for a friend.
	3:29pm JakeGould: I seriously want a WFMU mispronunciation guide as a premium.
	3:29pm Cecile: dale, I have to hear that. prb: the fates might be willing it.
	3:29pm Cecile: dale, I have to hear that. prb: the fates might be willing it.
	3:30pm Matt in Hillsborough: i gotta see that box set
	3:31pm Adrian in London: "Pledge or we'll send you the Sting box set"
	3:31pm eyenoise: NEVER STING NEVER
	3:31pm Cecile: the band Low were Mormons raised in MN.
	3:34pm Michele: Love this track!
	3:35pm JakeGould: Sting’a children were conceived via tantric sex and raised by Sting.
	3:35pm NotARealDoctor: What on earth is a listener number?
	3:37pm Cecile: I think I saw those Fever High girl stumbling around with a bachelorette party in downtown Mpls.
	3:37pm Guido from Cologne: Go to your profile settings and find the nunmber included in your profile link.
	3:37pm Adrian in London: @NotARealDoctor If you pledge when WFMU sends you swag or communications there'll be listener number on your correspondence. But if you;re a first-time pledger you can just go ahead and pledge anyway.
	3:37pm mark r.: A listener number is a vestige of a bygone era that you don't need any more. But in the old days, it was important. Brian, yes, the phones ring for online pledges, too. It adds to the pandemonium and hysteria. Because you can never have enough of that, especially when the porch is on fire.
	3:37pm Justin from Parsippany: @NotAReaDoctor I had the same question but I didn't want to be the one to ask.
	3:38pm Will: @dale that polka version of Ob-la-di ob-la-da is excellent!
	3:38pm TDK60: Sheila rockin' it along the Hudson.
	3:38pm dave in leicester: off to see jesca hoop in few weeks at Leicester's finest venue the musician very excited
	3:39pm NotARealDoctor: Glad I could be the guy not afraid to ask the dumb question for you Jason! :)
	3:39pm -Ken: Snapchatting today's show at WFMU on snapchat
	3:39pm Ralphine: Hoop sounds a lot different now than she did at Merlefest a few years ago.
	3:40pm dale: will - the stuff you find at the salvay sometimes...
	3:41pm dgg: A very special episode? Is Ken going to try and make Shelia B. smoke marijuana and we'll watch her struggle with peer pressure?
	3:42pm Bronwyn Bishop: Hey Sheila and Ken!!! Excited to hear this pairing and to get some more pledges!!!
	3:42pm Justin from Parsippany: @dale does Stashu know about this polka version of Ob-la-di?
	3:42pm JakeGould: What happened to AmeriKKKa?
	3:42pm dale: i don't know what snapchat is. i still use ask jeeves.
	3:44pm common: sheila, all. happy friday!
	3:44pm common: hey ken
	3:45pm dale: i dunno justin. probably a big divide between polish and german polkas.
	3:45pm The Contessa: Hang on, Sheila's marrying me!
	3:46pm βrian: It's a corporate ephemeral image/messaging service, from what I hear. These things seems to spawn like cluster flies.
	3:46pm Will: @dale you're right, but I think Stashu would dig it. Someone should inform her of it.
	3:48pm Ike: Wait... so you're not joking about the Sting laserdiscs?
	3:50pm dale: this is a way slowed down gothic version of the france gall song - i like it!
	3:52pm Cecile: I never tried Snapchat. The logo is ugly and the filters are ugly, and I get enough ugly with Facebook.
	3:53pm Rob Kopp: I prefer the covers by April March, Fabienne Delsol or Honeymoon Killers
	3:53pm Cecile: ah, Dusty. I feel my "T" levels rising.
	3:54pm Ike: The filters go beyond ugly into deeply horrifying. The kids are into some real body horror these days. Snapchat makes Cronenbergian shit look tame.
	3:54pm Cecile: I'm glad I didn't delve any further.
	3:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: The White House should set up the big orange goof with a Snapchat account. Loads of fun!
	3:56pm Cecile: my dad had a serious thing for Julie London.
	3:57pm common: this is the song
	3:57pm sweeks: Julie London... swooooooooonnnnn
	3:58pm Michael 98145: ooh -
	3:58pm dale: no one had a lazier eye than julie london.
	3:58pm The Contessa: @Ken FHP I rather like your term 'Big Orange Goof'!
	3:59pm dale: just looked at snapchat - yeah, i don't need to cram any more social media between my ears.
	4:00pm Michael 98145: anti-social media
	4:00pm Itzall Ablurr: Wow! Sheila B & Ken killin' it today. I want that Lazy Girl mix but my P.P.D. (pledge per day) limit has already been exceeded.
	4:01pm ɨkɛ: I just tuned back in. Are we talking about what Clay Pigeon is going to play if he gets the morning show?
	4:01pm dgg: lol no.
	4:01pm Michael 98145: highly anticipating my LG mix
	4:01pm common: nothing is worse than sting. but i love the police. just heard voices inside my head today. so good.
	4:02pm common: and yay! i wil flip it over!
	4:02pm dale: huzzah for common!
	4:02pm βrian: Gefiltefisch?
	4:03pm dgg: Haha don't say my last name. I'm fully and totally fulfilled with just hearing "Dave G." which is how I signed my 2nd grade valentines cards.
	4:03pm common: thanks dale
	4:03pm Cecile: ...echoes of things that you said...
	4:03pm dale: was julie singing to jack webb or bobby troupe there?
	4:04pm dgg: See what ten bucks will get you folks? What are you waiting for???
	4:04pm Cecile: dale, probably yes.
	4:05pm dale: bad part about giving my whole pledge to 7sd in one wad means i couldn't try to win extra swag. oh well.
	4:05pm Will: They are free, they played in Olympia, Washington lastnight
	4:06pm JasonInBoston: If I might be able to entice listeners to go for the Philly Sound book prize, take a peek right here: http://theresthatbeat.com/
	4:06pm dgg: @dale - see that's interesting. I've been giving it in drips and drabs - but I'm also missing out on the big prizes. So... six of one
	4:06pm Cecile: One of the most brilliant drag queens I know dreams of being the 6th Spice Girl.
	4:06pm dgg: but I just like to hear people say my name on the radio
	4:07pm dgg: especially Sheila B.
	4:07pm dale: i never knew 'sophisticated boom boom' was a song until recently.
	4:08pm Cecile: It's such a great song. So funny and cool. I'm glad you heard it.
	4:08pm TDK60: Spice Girls were a subversive influence? Who woulda thunk?
	4:08pm JakeGould: Already like the horns on this “Number One in Radio.”
	4:08pm JtotheK: had free (advance) tickets to the 'Spice World' film...so I saw 'Spice World' in the theatre.
	4:08pm Mick: This is fantastic!
	4:09pm Kevlicki: this is amazing! boom boom, and Ken, is on the stereo!
	4:09pm Guido from Cologne: I can even remember the cover art
	4:09pm TDK60: Hey, this sounds a bit similar to "Radio Clash" by Clash.
	4:09pm Michael 98145: always a happy Friday around here
	4:10pm stacykakes: it's the sister song to This Is Radio Clash!
	4:10pm dale: great song!
	4:10pm nickybones: This should probably start every show. haha.
	4:10pm Cecile: JtotheK, a friend of mine had a daughter who was crazy about them, and he ended up being a huge fan too. He said, "people did look at me kind of funny because I was actually sitting with her in the theater when we went to see them and not out in the lobby complaining with the other dads."
	4:11pm Guido from Cologne: agree with nickybones
	4:11pm Parq: This Big Bopper take-off is adorable.
	4:11pm βrian: Jayne Mansfield, born Vera Jayne Palmer.
	4:11pm bkd69: Hey, Jayne Mansfield! Superstar! I don't normally get to listen to this show, but it's anew fave!
	4:12pm Michael 98145: don't recall hearing her sing before now ..
	4:12pm Guido from Cologne: that makes it makes it
	4:12pm Parq: Ass-kicking segue.
	4:13pm listener james from westwood: I had a high school English teacher who was an absolute freak for Twisted Sister.
	4:13pm JtotheK: re: Philly Sound book -- yes, it is amazing! i have to find a saturday to just sit down with coffee/beer and read through it, stopping frequently to take notes and add 45s to the want list... what a great prize!
	4:13pm Your Ace From Exchange Place: TS!
	4:13pm Bronwyn Bishop: great to hear this. we used to play this all the time in college at like 4am.
	4:14pm JtotheK: @Cecile - ha! i remember having advances passes also to Half Baked. quite a double feature - Spice World and Half Baked.
	4:14pm Cecile: TS are a lot like the Dictators. Except they weren't as consistent writers and less funny. Still pretty fun.
	4:14pm Guido from Cologne: the director of the Twisted Sister documentary is a long time WFMU listener.
	4:14pm JakeGould: Pop culture might seem completely worthless to some, but it’s ultimately popular for a reason. Kids get lots of messages from everything and in ways you can’t often understand. Also, TWISTED SISTER!!!!
	4:14pm doctorjazz: Fun to hear this Twisted Sister track!
	4:15pm Parq: Anyone remember him testifying at Al Gore's PMRC senate hearing?
	4:15pm Cecile: I know there was one Dictators guy in there. but that doesn't explain everything.
	4:15pm Will: They're pretty much NY Dolls but more metal
	4:16pm JasonInBoston: @JtotheK-if I might ask, how did you get your copy? They were hard to get for awhile and then we had a pallet shipped over. I must know you by your real name, right?
	4:16pm Matt in Hillsborough: WUDDDDAAYOOWANNA DOOOO WITH YOR LIIIFEE?!?!?
	4:16pm andrewb: the legend i heard was TS sold out the palladium before they released a single
	4:16pm JakeGould: Also the divisions people often make between high and low culture are 99% bullshit. Anyway.
	4:17pm chalmers: During the '80s music censorship hearings, three artists testified. When John Denver and Frank Zappa testified, Al Gore opened his questioning by saying what a fan he was of their music. Third was Dee Snider, Gore said "I am NOT a fan of your music."
	4:18pm dgg: A Booby Prize, in county fair speak.
	4:18pm listener james from westwood: @Parq: I do, and I remember one of the inquisitors referring to Snider as Mister Sister.
	4:18pm JtotheK: @JasonInBoston - thru a 3rd party seller on a 'large online' bookseller. book arrived a week or so before the holidays. b/w i don't know that we've ever met - i'll send you a message!
	4:19pm Michael 98145: Mark Mendoza left The Dictators to join TS
	4:20pm Cecile: A lot of people dated Henry. He was a man about town for a few years there.
	4:21pm JakeGould: Henry Kissinger was hung. I guess?
	4:22pm melinda: @Jake: don't go there
	4:22pm Fuzzy: He should have been.
	4:22pm Doug S.: Good thing WFMU has established a beachhead in Ridgewood with Ridgewood Radio!
	4:22pm Cecile: women dug smart guys. they probably overlooked the evil part.
	4:22pm chalmers: He should have been, @JakeGould
	4:23pm dale: jayne dated joseph kennedy AND two of his sons? that;s just wacky.
	4:24pm Cecile: that happened a lot, dale.
	4:24pm Rob Kopp: Hopefully not at the same time
	4:26pm Passaic River Blues: @Fuzzy: word.
	4:26pm dale: i know gloria graham was married to an some dude and he came home and found her sleeping with her teenage stepson.
	4:27pm BriJet: Yay I love your show Sheila!
	4:27pm djsheilab: THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR LOVE + SUPPORT!
	4:29pm chalmers: Gloria Grahame was Violet in "It's a Wonderful Life," but as @dale notes, her real live took a decidedly Pottersville turn.
	4:32pm JakeGould: This show is saving my Friday sanity… More than usual even!!!
	4:33pm Carmichael: Heya Sheila, Kenneth and music lovers everywhere. I am re-upping my S4L pledge and including this show!
	4:33pm alan from sacto: Hi hi hi. Go djsheilab!
	4:37pm dale: "very great, bad, or overwhelming. "there was this hellacious hailstorm"
	4:38pm P-90: Hellacious can be positive or negative
	4:39pm JtotheK: hey, thanks for the shoutout sheilaB and Ken!
	4:40pm fred: @Ken: On the other hand, I remember your show after Obama was elected. That had a different vibe
	4:40pm JtotheK: is the one record you thought of by Clarence Carter ???
	4:42pm Rob Kopp: Just curious: which German record was replaced for this Relax version?
	4:42pm djsheilab: You'll hear it in a sec @Rob Kopp!
	4:43pm JakeGould: Holy crap!
	4:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Was hoping for Olga, but this is still good.
	4:43pm Rob Kopp: So no repalcement
	4:43pm dale: this does have that frankie goes to hollywood beat.
	4:43pm Will: one of the most important songs in the history of EDM
	4:43pm Adrian in London: @fred I remember walking along the road in west London and hearing DJ Rupture playing A Change is Gonna Come and being so moved. Seems a long long time ago now.
	4:44pm dgg: whats weird is most fundraisers on other stations suck a butt. But WFMU's is actually a blast somehow.
	4:44pm natbot: Hi-NRG!!!! Perfect drive home song. God bless you.
	4:45pm Will: ehh that German accent is terrible
	4:46pm foofs: I'M SLOPPING OUT HERE
	4:46pm Guido from Cologne: never heard or heard of this record
	4:47pm stacykakes: @dale re: Gloria Grahame not just any dude, Hollywood auteur Nicholas Ray. Nick gave Gloria some 'surprises' too.
	4:47pm dale: maybe she was dating a pig farmer.
	4:47pm Listener Chrispy: this song reminds me of my high school dishwashing job we use to sing slop songs while cleaning
	4:48pm dale: stacykakes - all men are pigs (which goes with my previous comment) .
	4:49pm Matt in Hillsborough: that's an insult to pigs
	4:49pm Parq: Gloria Grahame was Ado Annie in the movie version of Oklahoma -- just a girl who cayn't say no.
	4:51pm djsheilab: If you haven't yet pledged, please call 1-800-989-9368. We need you!!
	4:51pm P-90: Killer cover
	4:51pm Cecile: this song never fit with the movie. It's about breaking conventionality, and Grease was nothing but that.
	4:51pm stacykakes: @dale I'm a big fan of Gloria check her out at Debby Marsh in The Big Heat
	4:52pm doctorjazz: O, oh! O, oh!
	4:53pm Mick: So much fun Sheila & Ken! Where else am I going to hear all this and learn about Gloria Grahame and Nicholas Ray's romantic lives?
	4:53pm Will: I've never heard this version before, only the Abba & Klaus Nomi's.
	4:53pm doctorjazz: 2013? Just One Look?
	4:53pm dale: i've seen her in a few noir films. i'll look that one up stacykakes.
	4:53pm Stanley: Jeez - I just gotta get me a record player. so much good stuff out on vinyl nowadays.
	4:54pm dale: the year is probably the cd release drjazz.
	4:54pm Rob Kopp: Great original
	4:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Unfortunately, "Just One Look" evokes memories of a car commercial that used this song.
	4:55pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, this Speedwagon cover!
	4:55pm doctorjazz: I figured that, @dale, but had to be obnoxious.
	4:55pm JasonInBoston: @dale "Human Desire" is also fantastic. Gloria and Glenn Ford together.
	4:56pm djsheilab: 70% of my goal made and just over an hour to go! Take me to the top my lovely listeners!
	4:56pm dale: oh, well this is the place for that.
	4:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: On the other hand, catchy songs that were used in commercials could be a good marathon premium.
	4:56pm Rob Kopp: @Sheila: Have you heard their Roky Erickson-cover Starry eyes already?
	4:57pm Carmichael: REO? I thought you were trying to get pledges ...
	4:57pm P-90: @Cecille: remember, that "Grease" theme was one of the songs written for the seventies movie that was not immediately n the original sixties stage musical about the fifties. The producers were worried that kids wouldn't "relate" to the Doo-Wop-ish original songs.
	4:58pm P-90: * "...not ORIGINALLY in the sixties stage musical" Damn Autocorrect
	4:59pm Cecile: Yeah, P-90, that's why it sticks out. It's a decent song in a really weird context. Sung by Frankie Valli. Hrm.
	4:59pm chalmers: "Hopelessly Devoted" was another song added for the movie that's incongruous. It was if they just threw an Olivia Newton-John single into the film.
	4:59pm Adrian in London: There was a biog about Gloria Grahame's final days called Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool. It's being made into a film, I see.
	5:00pm Marc15: BRAVO Sheila!!!
	5:01pm listener james from westwood: We're not living in the Dark Ages! We have electricity!
	5:02pm Rob Kopp: @Ken: Please don't train our Sheila. We like her as she is.
	5:03pm dale: if you like real doo wop look for tony o's 'dungeon serenade' friday nights on wvkr in poughkeepsie. not that you should listen elsewhere, but fmu doesn't have doo wop so you get a pass.
	5:03pm Cecile: He puts the "bear" in Barry.
	5:06pm stacykakes: @robkopp love Roky's Starry Eyes! @adrianinlondon wow. with annette bening as gloria.
	5:06pm P-90: It was a couple of REAL Disco-era types, Robert Stigwood and Allan Carr, who made that Grease movie. The Gibbs were one of Stigwood's acts, and Frankie Valli was a "fifties" singer who was still scoring hits in the seventies, so I guess he seemed like a natural go-to...
	5:07pm JtotheK: this Patti and the Emblems is very good, hadn't heard it before!
	5:10pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Great Patty & The Emblems track Shelia!!!
	5:10pm Parq: I imagine Googling the band that's doing "Keep On" (and the self-titled album name) would give you a lot of resluts you might well not want.
	5:11pm fred: I love that Singapore A Go-Go comp
	5:11pm stacykakes: @djsheilab englebert h: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fxA7zLLQzY you're welcome.
	5:13pm -Ken: Only two people in the running for this Gwenno CD folks - pledge now and your chances are great to excellent ti win it
	5:17pm dgg: omg is it going to be a special episode of SHUT YOUR EYES WEIRDO???
	5:20pm listener james from westwood: Good gods, the chaperones at one of my Catholic high school dances got so pissed when the original of this got played!
	5:20pm P-90: This is deliciously "Demented Boom Boom"
	5:20pm ncjay: equally as appalling as the original :)
	5:20pm bkd69: I...I can't stop dancing!
	5:20pm JasonInBoston: @sheilab and @stacykakes Englebert's Northern Soul killer - huge want for me. Wait should I be sharing this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLgdpNBX_U8
	5:22pm Joe from Hopatcong: I'm voguing in my car and other commuters are very puzzled
	5:25pm Rob Kopp: Again I'm off early (in NL 23:30). I'm going to watch a few politicians on TV. Next wednesday it's election day in The Netherlands. Hopefully no Brexit or Trump choice over here.
	5:25pm stacykakes: @jasoninboston nice, but he strikes me as a poor girl's Tom Jones on this track.
	5:26pm dale: is this a james bond theme cover?
	5:27pm -Ken: Next prize up: "The Ladies of Too Slow to Disco" double LP set.
	5:27pm The Contessa: This is bloody lovely!
	5:27pm listener james from westwood: @dale: Yes indeed! From On Her Majesty's Secret Service!
	5:29pm JtotheK: @JasonInBoston - oh my, i'm going to have to look for that! i recently found the Glenn Yarbrough Northern Soul 45. Also have the Al Hirt. Still need the Boots Randolph... And at one point had all 3 Paul Anka Northern 45's, but alas...not anymore.
	5:34pm Fuzzy: Brenda's channeling DeBarge here...
	5:34pm JasonInBoston: @JtotheK I just picked up an Italian issue of "Sei Peu Forte Di Me" by Paul Anka. It's him doing "Stronger Than Me", the LP-only Rufus Lumley Northern Soul classic. Paul uses the same backing track. Maybe he wrote that one too. Not sure.
	5:41pm JtotheK: Nice - i don't know that one, will check it out.
	5:41pm JtotheK: excellent show today sheilaB and Ken - thanks very much!
	5:45pm -Ken: Only $476 left to go!
	5:45pm Adrian in London: Ooh, been listening to this Olympians album since yu played it the other week, Sheila. It's so good!
	5:46pm Carmichael: I don't even know what "voguing" is ....

	5:48pm Listener Robert: I got it! The other letters were too occupied, and it's CoFisticated Boom Boom, with a soft C.

	5:48pm Fuzzy: luthiers = guitar makers

	5:49pm Guido from Cologne: brooklynlutherie.com

	5:54pm Kevlicki: Speaking of hall and oates, Trouble played a fantastic version of Rich Girl by Nina Simone, never heard it before
	5:54pm Danne D: @Carmichael I believe that was a rare John Oates lead vocal turn
	5:54pm karmester: sorry. Fuzzy beat me. i'm listening in the 'net == delay
	5:54pm Danne D: Now I'm hungry :( this show is gonna make me fat :(
	5:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: XLNT ... There's the goal! Congrats, Sheila & Ken. Onward to victory!
