	9:12am The Oscar: A friend and I once posed a conundrum: is odder that he, as a teenager in the early 2000s, discovered Devo because he was a fan of Square Pegs, or that I, as a teenager in the early 2000s, discovered Square Pegs because I was a fan of Anne Beatts?

	9:18am David (in London): I'm throwing in a vote for the theme tune to Magnum P.I.
	👻 9:19am Webhamster Henry: I have an air check of a WBAI Citizen Kafka fill in show where people called in to sing their favorite TV themes! It was like 2 AM, and people couldn't stop calling in!
	9:19am steveo: Hi David I. L.
	9:19am Handy Haversack: I think Magnum went straight to cassingle, David.
	9:20am Sketch: I'm really hoping you have the Duck Tales theme song
	9:20am Sketch: Best modulation in a theme song ever
	9:20am Pale Son: Only single of a TV theme I ever bought was "Angie." That song is messed up and I have no desire to hear it. :)
	9:20am David (in London): Handy, I always play it when I'm racing around country lanes in my Ferrari 308 GTS.
	9:21am Rocky Horror: @David (in London): the new version of Magnum P.I. the theme is sped up about 50bpm
	9:21am Joe McG: @Pale Son: Wow, I want the "Angie" single!
	9:21am Listener Bop Monroe: rule 1 is it's gotta be on 45. rule 2, never talk about rule 1
	9:21am Handy Haversack: Oddly, me, too, David!
	9:21am melinda: I'm feeling emotional now, this is so comforting.
	9:21am pantz: This is the "Goodnight Mr Lawrence." "Uhhh..." I always liked the WKRP theme but I preferred the song at the end to the one at the beginning. Do you have that one?
	9:21am Creature Boy: I know this guy who played bass on the Cheers thingie. True story. Is this becoming nightmarish for anyone else?
	9:21am AbeSomething: Most of the Cheers lyrics were new to me. Some truly wild stuff in there.
	9:22am medson: Isn’t this fun. Good morning Joe and everyone
	9:22am PKNY: My man Idris Muhammad on the drums for "Angela"!
	9:22am Pale Son: @Joe It was a big radio hit at the time. Now it just sounds like a bunch of coked out session musicians going off the deep end.
	9:22am David (in London): Rocky Horror, wait, what? Have they rebooted the show then? Who plays Magnum? Does he have a huge moustache?
	9:22am TVP: I'm now completely thrown back to my high school's station, WCVH Flemington. During non-student DJ hours, it would play an automated mix of pop hits and TV theme songs.
	9:22am Jeezy: Not nightmarish at all, @creature boy! I'm LOVIN' it! Such strong writing back then...
	9:22am melinda: @Creature Boy the Taxi theme is the remedy for nightmares
	👻 9:22am yerfriendpaul: Love the Taxi theme!!
	9:23am morphe': No tv from 1975 - 1990 .. 75-79 selling weed and coke(powder) every eve after HS- 1980-1990 - lived without a tv and in foreign lands... Room 222 must have been inspired by To Sir With Love???
	9:23am Krys O.: The Barney Miller theme is the GOAT.
	👻 9:23am LastWhiteRhino: Is that Clay on flute ???
	9:23am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh man...I had a good friend from high school pass away last week. Serious nostalgia going on here...
	9:23am Handy Haversack: All U.S. TV can manage lately is reboots and relaunches, David. We all eagerly await MANNIX 2021!
	👻 9:23am Webhamster Henry: Keep Your Eye On The Sparrow!
	9:23am Krys O.: Loving this theme!
	9:23am David (in London): Hello jeezy. Morphester, you old bohemian you.
	9:24am Rocky Horror: Hope we here the Night Court Theme
	9:24am Joe McG: Damn, I also forgot my 45 for the theme to "SWAT."
	9:24am Strandlund: Do you have the theme to Maude by Sammy Davis Jr.? It's Great!!
	👻 9:25am yerfriendpaul: You know what I wish someone could do someday? Create a compilation of the transitional music played on a lot of these shows. You know, the music from scene to scene. The Flintstones had great transitional music. The Brady Bunch also. Early MASH episodes too
	9:25am PKNY: I'm on the fence for asking if "Theme from SWAT" is on deck today, because I think the 45 edit gets rid of the classic breakdown.
	👻 9:25am LastWhiteRhino: Sammy did keep his only eye on the sparrow.
	9:25am Joe McG: @Rocky: Don't have it on 45, alas.
	9:25am Jeezy: Greetings all! Ah, the memories... I'm right back in the burbs of Jersey... no longer the mean streets of Williamsburg, BK!
	9:25am PKNY: @Joe - you're reading my mind!
	9:25am xtrakrispy: Having worked at TVT records, aka TeeVeeToons, this set is causing me some trauma.
	9:25am David (in London): Handy, surely the reboot of Petrocelli cannot be far away then! Hurrah!
	9:25am Pale Son: @Paul I love the Fred and Barney driving to and from work theme!
	9:25am spodiodi: good morning, Joe and everyone. bummed i missed the square pegs theme
	9:26am Aaron Working In Newark: Good morning Joe
	9:26am Rocky Horror: @Joe McG: 20century SWAT or 21century SWAT?
	9:26am PaulRobeson1920: Oh! Won’t you be my neighbor?
	9:27am ike_p: greetings joe, skeleton crew, and awesome listners! loving the theme theme
	9:27am David (in London): I once had the pleasure of sharing a lift (elevator) with David Soul. When the doors opened, I had this almost overwhelming urge to do a shoulder role out of the door shouting 'Cover me'. Thankfully, I resisted.
	9:27am morphe': Handy - had a crush on Mannix's secretary along with Peggy Lipton (mod squad) and Ssiter Bertril from the Flying Nun and................I dream of Jeannie, Bewitched ... And Sister Mary thomas - my 1st grade teacher in full cover up habit... I think it had more to do with there inherent goodnees than there physical beauty?????
	9:27am David (in London): Yo spod.
	9:28am Strandlund: It would have been Robert Reed's Birthday today...just saying.
	9:28am spodiodi: heyhey, DiL tips hat
	9:28am Joe McG: @Strandlund: I'm probably wrong, but I don't think the Brady Bunch theme ever came out on 45. I know it was by the Peppermint Trolley Company.

	9:29am Handy Haversack: Hey, spod! Good choices all, morphe'!
	9:29am pantz: "Baby, if you ever wondered...wondered whatever became of me..."
	👻 9:29am Threemoons: Please tell me you'll eventually get around to the Wonder Woman and Buck Rodgers themes...
	9:29am Strandlund: @Joe...if it did it was probably sung by those bratty kids!
	9:30am Krys O.: Quincy Jones!
	9:30am Cal Zone!: Today, Joe McGasko will be playing every single he owns! They are all TV themes, and they are shoved into two beat up shoeboxes.
	9:30am prudy: good morning all...anyone know if and where Room 222 is broadcast or streamed?
	9:30am zopa: My very first record ever purchased (a 45) was David Soul's Don't Give Up on Us Baby backed with Black Bean Soup.
	👻 9:30am Webhamster Henry: Love American Style/Cowsills was definitely a 45.
	9:30am ?: Ironside never jumped the shark.
	9:30am Joe McG: @Threemoons: Don't have on 45, sorry. Did they come out on 45? @Cal Zone: Ha ha ha
	9:31am Listener Bop Monroe: plugged in headphones so now hearing these all in stereo. OMG. thnx Mr McG!
	9:31am morphe': David van der Stoke - once (early 90s)had a parked rental car banged up in the French Alps ... when I went to the local police to report it ... they wanted to talk about NYC, Kojack and Starsky and Hutch!!!!
	9:31am sydnius: A Quinn Martin Production
	9:31am ?: youtube is your friend
	9:31am spodiodi: aloha, Handy!
	👻 9:32am Webhamster Henry: Someone on FMU should do a 3 hour Quincy Jones retrospective.
	9:32am David (in London): Threemoons - At my wife's request, we watched an episode of Buck Rogers recently. At the cosmic disco the band sound like Kraftwerk until Buck gets them to relax and rock, and which point they start playing like The Doobie Brothers. It's absolutely priceless.
	9:32am Strandlund: EPILOGUE...
	9:32am MKT in Inwood: My brothers and sisters named me after Ironside character Mark Sanger. Not too many black guys on TV, I guess.
	9:33am Handy Haversack: We were in Glasgow a few years back and saw an NYPD patrol car parked at the kerb. I was completely stammygammered. And then we walked past it and saw the "Hire this car for film shoots!" decoration on the rear window, and the world once more made a tiny bit of sense.
	9:33am morphe': ? - Ironside was in the wheelchair and could not jump... not without rocket pulpusion...
	9:34am Rich in Washington: Disco MAS*H!
	👻 9:34am Webhamster Henry: "Suicide Is Painless"'s lyrics were by Robert Altman's son, who paid for college tuition with the royalties!
	9:34am (another) Patrick in Hoboken: Getti N deja vu; did you play the theme from Mash in the not too distance past Joe?
	9:34am Rocky Horror: A disco verson of MAS*H?!?! What the George Carlin!!
	9:34am Phillippe Bastille: Top of the morning, y'all! Well, not the tippy top, too late in the morning for that. More like near the top of the morning, assuming morning doesn't start until I get up. Hey Handy, DiL, spodiodi, Krys O, Alan Alda!
	👻 9:35am Webhamster Henry: Nice bass line here (MAS*H).
	9:35am Joe McG: @Patrick: Yes, so I thought I'd bring a disco version!
	9:35am melinda: @Handy while waiting at a red light about a year ago I saw a 1970s black and white cop car drive past, it was so weird.

	9:35am spodiodi: Phillippe Bastille! top/middle/bottom of the *!
	9:36am MikeG: This music captures the essence of early 1950's war-torn Korea
	9:36am Ike: Hi all. @Handy, that's an excellent new word you've invented! I tip my hat to you! [chef's kiss]
	9:36am steveo: Suicide is cheerful!
	👻 9:36am yerfriendpaul: Ha ha! Mike G!
	👻 9:36am Webhamster Henry: I've got a file with a lot of the lyrics from TV themes that never got sung on-air. Like the ones for Lucy.
	9:37am pantz: A Desilou Production!
	9:37am zopa: @yerfriendpaul: yes! www.youtube.com...
	9:37am spodiodi: i wonder how little ricky turned out
	9:38am Rocky Horror: @yerfriendpaul: that would be hilariuse @steveo: And I thought suicide was painfuless
	9:38am Joe McG: @spodiodi: Pretty good, he formed a band with Dino's son!
	9:38am G: The 70s live....
	9:39am David (in London): Bonjour Phillippe. I think somewhere I still have an MfP disco theme tunes album.
	9:39am ?: Fred and Ethel never had a theme song
	9:39am Listener Bop Monroe: omg, that IS Potter dancing. it's a wonderful...thing. thnx z!
	9:40am spodiodi: that's great to hear, Joe :) go little ricky!
	9:40am Handy Haversack: Phillippe! Top of the middle of the half-past night to you too!

	👻 9:42am yerfriendpaul: I'm glad the producers eventually decided to squeeze in "The Professor and MaryAnn". Seems like the songwriters just got lazy the first time around
	9:42am morphe': When I was acting stupid as a wee 7-8-9 my mother - with her Irish accent would say - "Yerrah get out of here - yer acting stupider than Gilligan ..." She also compared me to Jethro of the Beverly Hillbbies at times
	9:42am Creature Boy: MAS*H UP

	9:42am adampsyche: was that WING

	9:45am spodiodi: was just thinking about ECCs whole lotta royalty payments. how go the cucumbers, Ike?

	9:47am Eli: No Barney Miller? I was sure that was coming.
	👻 9:47am yerfriendpaul: I enjoyed that Joe. Thank you! So funny how many tunes were disco-fied.
	9:48am Strandlund: This show is why everyone needs to PLEDGE!!!
	9:48am Blix: I could just imagine being in 1977 at a club, working up the nerve to ask a pretty girl to dance, and then when we finally get on the floor, Disco MASH comes on the speakers.
	9:48am Handy Haversack: Super enjoyable set, Joe -- a real crowd pleaser, too!
	9:48am Ike: @ike_p, good morning to you too! Good to see ya again.
	9:49am Rich in Bristol: I've still never seen Gilligan's Island, though I hear/see it referenced on a weekly basis. Should I check it out one of these days?

	10:09am PaulRobeson1920: Yo no soy marinero, por tu sere Por tu sere, por tu sere Para bailar a La Bamba Se necesita un poco de gracia
	👻 10:11am Hughie Considine: Bummed I missed "Room 222." I feel like that theme owes a lot to "Fool on the Hill."
	10:11am Dennis Diken: yeah, efd and David, pretty memorable. but me and my friends were there to see our beloved Dictators. Manifest Destiny had just come out and it was their first "big" show. prob 1st time we saw Adny play with them. also, same week that Elvis died
	10:11am Chop Scott: Good Morning Joe!
	10:12am Joe McG: Hey Chop Scott! Hey Dennis! Welcome everyone to the hairiest set of the show.
	10:12am Marshall Salowe: punk theme from Green Acres music of Purple Haze
	10:12am The Oscar: PSYCHO!! Quite possibly my favorite song ever.
	10:13am efd: of course, that makes total sense Dennis!
	10:13am Creature Boy: Psycho from the pen of Leon Payne
	10:16am Chud: That cover of Psycho was inspired!
	10:20am Krys O.: Ah, the joy of Robyn Hitchcock's surreal brain.
	10:20am Handy Haversack: Summoned Kate to hear this one! I feel like R.E.M. doing "Smoking in the Boys Room" on their fan club 7" would fit into this set!
	10:23am pantz: Camera Obscura's reply to this is great too.
	10:24am David (in London): pantz - Yes, that one's a favourite of mine, too.
	10:26am Joe B: going to be a big day for Little Roger & the Goosebumps on WFMU!
	10:26am Joe McG: @Handy: I have R.E.M. 45s, but none of the fan club stuff, alas.
	10:27am Handy Haversack: When I was actually able to collect some records in HS in Atlanta, R.E.M. rarities were pretty easy to find, which was great.
	10:30am PaulRobeson1920: Wow. The word “Technicolor” in that The Monochrome Set Song! wow what a song! Goodbye Joe
	10:34am Hubig Pie: When things come unscrewed, you gotta call the painter
	👻 10:34am 12539: Three cheers for Andy!
	👻 10:35am Brian in UK: Guess that these Iranian 45s are pre Shah.
	10:37am Rick A.: They are probably Shah contemporary.
	10:37am David (in London): Will Ramesh be heading our way?
	10:37am David (in London): Well, that answers my question then.
	10:38am βrian: Do I detect saffron in the air?
	👻 10:40am Brian in UK: Ah, Iranian pistachios.
	10:42am Hubig Pie: Apricots and rose water
	10:42am Joe McG: The dates of these records are sometimes quite hard to figure out, so I've done what I could!
	10:44am βrian: They're probably medjools, Joe.
	10:46am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! Wish I had some right now!
	10:47am Dean: How can you play a half hour of 45s from Iran and not one is Flock of Seagulls?
	10:47am Cal Zone!: Early request. Can you please play the live Iranian language version of 'Little Roger and The Goosebumps' Gilligan's Island next year on Singles week? Thanks.
	10:47am βrian: How does Sheila B pronounce "Iran" and "Iranian?"
	10:47am morphe': Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:48am Krys O.: I watched the film Trances (1981) about a Moroccan band this weekend. Really good: www.imdb.com...
	10:48am paul: The b-side to this is much better.
	10:48am Joe McG: @Dean: What's wrong with me? :)
	10:49am Woo: Good steady beat
	10:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @paul: The b-side is "Whole Lotta Rosie" sung in Farsi.
	10:49am David (in London): Whole Lotta Farsi?
	10:50am paul: @Woods, I'll take it.
	10:51am Krys O.: My high school French teacher was from Iran, but she called herself Persian. It was during the hostage crisis.
	10:53am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I recently read Lipstick Jihad. Really good, though depressing...sort of.
	10:54am Joe McG: Googoosh could sing the phonebook and make me feel like my heart is breaking.
	10:55am David (in London): Joe, Googoosh played here last year, and I missed it. Utterly ruing that now, as you can imagine.
	10:55am pantz: Yes, Joe. I don't know what she's singing but I can feel the pain.
	10:56am βrian: Or bit-level machine code, even! [I swoon!]
	10:56am pantz: "Flogging Me with your Eyes." What a beautiful phrase too.
	👻 10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everybody! Just tuning in expecting Album File (the inverse of Single File) but happily surprised to be hearing Persian singles!
	👻 10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): I'm assuming that Sheila B and Andy The Painter have to be friends.
	10:58am Joe McG: @tim: I sort of copped these records before returning them to Andy after he let Sheila borrow them. :)
	10:59am Joe McG: I think Vigen is like the male version of Googoosh. Gorgeous!
	11:00am johnk77: david soul had a great road band w/andy kulberg, chris michie, and amanda mcbroom
	11:00am βrian: Vigen should not be used without consulting a physician.
	👻 11:02am tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - Good thinking!
	11:02am Ike: Awesome set!
	11:03am dave wuz here: good stuff
	11:03am Terr n DE: flogging me w your eyes... that turn of phrase is quite culturally specific.
	11:04am p/b: Wow, loving this stuff. Thanks Joe / good morning FMUall. Love from Brooklyn, everyone take care of each other we're all we got.
	👻 11:05am tim from champaign (now washington): Keep it going, Joe! Yallah!
	11:05am Joe McG: It's not every day that you can play a bunch of actual Iranian 45s on the radio, so I'm really enjoying it! Glad you are, too.
	11:08am Mister Dobalina: Great set, Joe. & if anyone else is really diggin' these sounds, for sure, check out Transpacific Sound Paradise.
	11:09am cl@m_digger: Really enjoying this joe great work sir
	11:10am Joe McG: Rob, I'm sure, would be able to tell you a lot more about these records than I can, but I'll give it a go after the set.
	11:13am pantz: If I could ululate, I would. This music is great!
	👻 11:13am tim from champaign (now washington): I could listen to this set all day.
	11:13am luca: Great stuff Joe...give me a dramatic orchestra anytime ;)
	11:14am Joe McG: We'll do one more Googoosh and then move on, although I think I could listen to these all day, too!
	11:14am P-90: These Persian 45’s are awesome @DJ Joe McG. My plectrons are vibrating excitedly.
	11:15am Terr n DE: i use to listen to western Asian music on short wave when i lived in Greece. Great set, other than no Oud solos yet...
	11:16am Handy Haversack: This has been another super set, Joe! You're throwing heat today!
	11:16am Joe McG: @Terr: Good news! The next one has a semi-Greek-sounding mandolin part!
	11:16am Rtintera: my favorite iranian thing is the movie "The Taste of Cherries"
	11:17am βrian: "Moi, radiateur."
	11:17am Mister Dobalina: Rob Weisberg is super knowledgeable in this genre. Been lucky enough to win tickets from listening to his program & seeing some amazing artists from around the world. Love me some 'FMU!
	11:17am Sylvia (France-NYC): this set has been lovely, Joe
	11:17am Brendan: Good morning Joe. This set is going to inspire a delicious ethnic lunch order.
	11:18am steveo: Very interesting set you got here, mister. I keep hallucinating in French, though, trying to make sense of the lyrics
	11:19am βrian: That happened to me once with Hebrew. Very strange.
	11:20am Hubig Pie: Post revolution , most Iranian music turned from songs of love to singing the praises of god and Khomeini
	11:20am P-90: “Persian File” is giving my Monday mid-morning a fresh, unexpected flavor...
	11:22am efd: It's always nice to hear records that have been lived in.
	11:24am Brendan: Don’t clean those records. They sound Per-fect.....
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign (now washington): In my mind, I imagine Andy The Painter was on a job and saw the box of 45s in the corner. As someone who can't himself around records, he took a look and his jaw dropped when he saw what was in their. Andy played it cool and approached the owner. The owner said. "Those old things? You can have them, pal."
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): Beats being called the "Sultan of Swing."
	11:27am iiibeat: Iran . . Iran so far away . .
	11:28am morphe': Gougoush - the Persian Oum Kasoom!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:29am Rocky Horror: @iiibeat: LOL nice!!
	11:29am Krys O.: w00t!
	11:33am Strandlund: Haven't heard this in years...
	11:33am p/b: great song - extra extra
	11:34am Faye: enjoyed the show today Joe!
	11:34am xtrakrispy: So, that is where that sample in the Avalanches comes from...

	👻 11:35am tadpoles: Looks to be a great show Joe ... will catch up on the magic archives. Cheers
	11:35am Joe McG: Thanks, Faye! :)
	11:37am xtrakrispy: www.whosampled.com...
	11:37am Handy Haversack: This show is so good -- and this set keeps it going! But I regret to say I have to take off -- the dog and I need to walk each other. Thanks, Joe! A real burner today! Be well, all. Catch some of you at the next Joe's place in a bit.
	👻 11:39am tim from champaign (now washington): I gotta split before the end of your show, so thanks for the great 45s today Joe!
	11:40am David (in London): TTFN Handy.
	11:41am Joe McG: Thanks for hanging out, fellows!
	11:41am Handy Haversack: Ta, David!
	11:41am HesperusWrecked: Ooh, I remember "V.I.P."—and how my sister thought I was odd because I actually listened to B-sides.
	11:42am morphe': Betty Wright OBIT - Guardian UK https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/may/11/betty-wright-obituary
	11:42am David (in London): I'm off to the shops, too, now. Thanks Joe, outstanding show today.
	11:42am Brendan: That guitar solo sounded pure BB King
	11:43am morphe': Handy - Tell BagPipes I have a psychedelic ball for him
	11:43am Zephyr: I’m gonna venture a guess that Betty did not have a Ms. Magazine subscription..
	11:43am Krys O.: Oh, this set takes me back to my youth dancing to AM radio.
	11:45am Hubig Pie: I am currently dancing to my shmart phone
	11:45am HesperusWrecked: One Monkey has been one of my favorite song for ages.
	11:45am morphe': Guardian: "Wright’s debut 45, Paralysed, was released in 1965, and it sold well locally. However, Deep City lacked the resources to promote records properly, and so Reid and Clarke eventually passed Wright on to Henry Stone, a distributor with experience and contacts who was launching Alston Records in Miami. Aged 14, Wright recorded her debut album for Alston, My First Time Around (1968), which not only revealed her to be a formidable soul singer but generated a single, Girls Can’t Do What the Guys Do, that reached the Top 40s of the US and Canadian pop charts."
	11:46am Joe B: she's also darlene love's sister, if that has not been mentioned already (if so, sorry for missing it)
	11:47am Gary: Thanks for a great set today Joe. What a great way to start the day. That run of 70s/80s TV themes put a smile on my face.
	11:48am morphe': Yes, great show Joe .. Thanks Joe and all !!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:48am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe!
	11:48am Joe McG: I had a lot of other stuff planned, but I'm just going to ride it out with the great Wrights. Thanks for listening, all!
	11:50am morphe': Joe - do not leave any shoe boxes in the corner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	👻 11:50am Marley P. Dogg: Really really great show today Joe!
	11:50am PaulRobeson1920: Thanks Joe! Good stuff on the Radio! The common people of Iran and of America (& the world over) desire peace dearly!
	11:50am PaulRobeson1920: That Iranian music is cool
	11:51am Joe McG: @morphe: Ha ha, I'll take my shoe boxes with me so I can put them back under the foot of the bed...until next week!
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: Great show, Joe.
	11:52am pantz: From Sesame Street to the Honey Cones. Great show from end to end.
	👻 11:53am 12539: Rapidly-spinning, quick-changing thanks, Joe! Be well everyone.
	11:53am Stillwell Coney Islander: Muchas gracias Joe!

	11:54am βrian: Coming up on the Drummer stream, fyi. Irene Trudel: wfmu.org...

	11:56am Todd76Pct: Great spins today! Thanks, Joe!
	11:59am andy the painter: just catching up now....@tim: the Persian 45’s were bought at a huge, messy junk warehouse that used to be in Williamsburg “back in the day” it was affectionately known as the “Shit on Driggs” thrift shop, after the street it was on. Joe!: sorry i missed the shout-outs! (lazy painter sleeping late) informed by friends texting. looking forward to listening to the archives.
	6:13am Ole 'Rick: This was a DAMN' fine show

	9:14am Andrew_in_WI: Welcome Back Kotter?
	👻 9:14am YETI BOB: I've only ever heard these songs coming out of a crappy 2" TV speaker - it's interesting to hear them over real speakers, with bass parts and everything

	👻 9:16am Webhamster Henry: @Joe it's the best! I play it on the autoharp a lot!
	👻 9:16am yerfriendpaul: Tuesday nights. Happy Days and Lavern and Shirley. My Dad taught piano lessons while we watched them in the other room. Sometimes the student would sit and watch with us while they waited for their ride home
	👻 9:16am YETI BOB: Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!
	9:16am pantz: "Sit Ubu. Sit. Good dog."

	9:19am Handy Haversack: I think Magnum went straight to cassingle, David.
	9:20am Sketch: I'm really hoping you have the Duck Tales theme song
	9:20am Sketch: Best modulation in a theme song ever
	9:20am Pale Son: Only single of a TV theme I ever bought was "Angie." That song is messed up and I have no desire to hear it. :)
	9:20am David (in London): Handy, I always play it when I'm racing around country lanes in my Ferrari 308 GTS.
	9:21am Rocky Horror: @David (in London): the new version of Magnum P.I. the theme is sped up about 50bpm
	9:21am Joe McG: @Pale Son: Wow, I want the "Angie" single!
	9:21am Listener Bop Monroe: rule 1 is it's gotta be on 45. rule 2, never talk about rule 1
	9:21am Handy Haversack: Oddly, me, too, David!
	9:21am melinda: I'm feeling emotional now, this is so comforting.
	9:21am pantz: This is the "Goodnight Mr Lawrence." "Uhhh..." I always liked the WKRP theme but I preferred the song at the end to the one at the beginning. Do you have that one?
	9:21am Creature Boy: I know this guy who played bass on the Cheers thingie. True story. Is this becoming nightmarish for anyone else?
	9:21am AbeSomething: Most of the Cheers lyrics were new to me. Some truly wild stuff in there.
	9:22am medson: Isn’t this fun. Good morning Joe and everyone
	9:22am PKNY: My man Idris Muhammad on the drums for "Angela"!
	9:22am Pale Son: @Joe It was a big radio hit at the time. Now it just sounds like a bunch of coked out session musicians going off the deep end.
	9:22am David (in London): Rocky Horror, wait, what? Have they rebooted the show then? Who plays Magnum? Does he have a huge moustache?
	9:22am TVP: I'm now completely thrown back to my high school's station, WCVH Flemington. During non-student DJ hours, it would play an automated mix of pop hits and TV theme songs.
	9:22am Jeezy: Not nightmarish at all, @creature boy! I'm LOVIN' it! Such strong writing back then...
	9:22am melinda: @Creature Boy the Taxi theme is the remedy for nightmares
	👻 9:22am yerfriendpaul: Love the Taxi theme!!
	9:23am morphe': No tv from 1975 - 1990 .. 75-79 selling weed and coke(powder) every eve after HS- 1980-1990 - lived without a tv and in foreign lands... Room 222 must have been inspired by To Sir With Love???

	9:24am Strandlund: Do you have the theme to Maude by Sammy Davis Jr.? It's Great!!
	👻 9:25am yerfriendpaul: You know what I wish someone could do someday? Create a compilation of the transitional music played on a lot of these shows. You know, the music from scene to scene. The Flintstones had great transitional music. The Brady Bunch also. Early MASH episodes too
	9:25am PKNY: I'm on the fence for asking if "Theme from SWAT" is on deck today, because I think the 45 edit gets rid of the classic breakdown.
	👻 9:25am LastWhiteRhino: Sammy did keep his only eye on the sparrow.
	9:25am Joe McG: @Rocky: Don't have it on 45, alas.
	9:25am Jeezy: Greetings all! Ah, the memories... I'm right back in the burbs of Jersey... no longer the mean streets of Williamsburg, BK!

And Sister Mary thomas - my 1st grade teacher in full cover up habit... I think it had more to do with there inherent goodnees than there physical beauty?????

	9:28am spodiodi: heyhey, DiL tips hat

	9:29am Handy Haversack: Hey, spod! Good choices all, morphe'!
	9:29am pantz: "Baby, if you ever wondered...wondered whatever became of me..."

	9:30am Cal Zone!: Today, Joe McGasko will be playing every single he owns! They are all TV themes, and they are shoved into two beat up shoeboxes.

	9:30am zopa: My very first record ever purchased (a 45) was David Soul's Don't Give Up on Us Baby backed with Black Bean Soup.
	👻 9:30am Webhamster Henry: Love American Style/Cowsills was definitely a 45.

	👻 9:32am Webhamster Henry: Someone on FMU should do a 3 hour Quincy Jones retrospective.
	9:32am David (in London): Threemoons - At my wife's request, we watched an episode of Buck Rogers recently. At the cosmic disco the band sound like Kraftwerk until Buck gets them to relax and rock, and which point they start playing like The Doobie Brothers. It's absolutely priceless.
	9:32am Strandlund: EPILOGUE...
	9:32am MKT in Inwood: My brothers and sisters named me after Ironside character Mark Sanger. Not too many black guys on TV, I guess.
	9:33am Handy Haversack: We were in Glasgow a few years back and saw an NYPD patrol car parked at the kerb. I was completely stammygammered. And then we walked past it and saw the "Hire this car for film shoots!" decoration on the rear window, and the world once more made a tiny bit of sense.
	9:33am morphe': ? - Ironside was in the wheelchair and could not jump... not without rocket pulpusion...
	9:34am Rich in Washington: Disco MAS*H!
	👻 9:34am Webhamster Henry: "Suicide Is Painless"'s lyrics were by Robert Altman's son, who paid for college tuition with the royalties!

	9:34am Rocky Horror: A disco verson of MAS*H?!?! What the George Carlin!!
	9:34am Phillippe Bastille: Top of the morning, y'all! Well, not the tippy top, too late in the morning for that. More like near the top of the morning, assuming morning doesn't start until I get up. Hey Handy, DiL, spodiodi, Krys O, Alan Alda!
	👻 9:35am Webhamster Henry: Nice bass line here (MAS*H).
	9:35am Joe McG: @Patrick: Yes, so I thought I'd bring a disco version!

	9:48am Strandlund: This show is why everyone needs to PLEDGE!!!
	9:48am Blix: I could just imagine being in 1977 at a club, working up the nerve to ask a pretty girl to dance, and then when we finally get on the floor, Disco MASH comes on the speakers.
	9:48am Handy Haversack: Super enjoyable set, Joe -- a real crowd pleaser, too!
	9:48am Ike: @ike_p, good morning to you too! Good to see ya again.

	10:23am pantz: Camera Obscura's reply to this is great too.
	10:24am David (in London): pantz - Yes, that one's a favourite of mine, too.
	10:26am Joe B: going to be a big day for Little Roger & the Goosebumps on WFMU!

	10:46am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha! Wish I had some right now!
	10:47am Dean: How can you play a half hour of 45s from Iran and not one is Flock of Seagulls?

	10:55am David (in London): Joe, Googoosh played here last year, and I missed it. Utterly ruing that now, as you can imagine.
	10:55am pantz: Yes, Joe. I don't know what she's singing but I can feel the pain.
	10:56am βrian: Or bit-level machine code, even! [I swoon!]
	10:56am pantz: "Flogging Me with your Eyes." What a beautiful phrase too.
	👻 10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everybody! Just tuning in expecting Album File (the inverse of Single File) but happily surprised to be hearing Persian singles!
	👻 10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): I'm assuming that Sheila B and Andy The Painter have to be friends.
	10:58am Joe McG: @tim: I sort of copped these records before returning them to Andy after he let Sheila borrow them. :)
	10:59am Joe McG: I think Vigen is like the male version of Googoosh. Gorgeous!
	11:00am johnk77: david soul had a great road band w/andy kulberg, chris michie, and amanda mcbroom
	11:00am βrian: Vigen should not be used without consulting a physician.
	👻 11:02am tim from champaign (now washington): @Joe - Good thinking!
	11:02am Ike: Awesome set!
	11:03am dave wuz here: good stuff
	11:03am Terr n DE: flogging me w your eyes... that turn of phrase is quite culturally specific.

	👻 11:05am tim from champaign (now washington): Keep it going, Joe! Yallah!
	11:05am Joe McG: It's not every day that you can play a bunch of actual Iranian 45s on the radio, so I'm really enjoying it! Glad you are, too.
	11:08am Mister Dobalina: Great set, Joe. & if anyone else is really diggin' these sounds, for sure, check out Transpacific Sound Paradise.
	11:09am cl@m_digger: Really enjoying this joe great work sir
	11:10am Joe McG: Rob, I'm sure, would be able to tell you a lot more about these records than I can, but I'll give it a go after the set.

	11:19am βrian: That happened to me once with Hebrew. Very strange.
	11:20am Hubig Pie: Post revolution , most Iranian music turned from songs of love to singing the praises of god and Khomeini
	11:20am P-90: “Persian File” is giving my Monday mid-morning a fresh, unexpected flavor...
	11:22am efd: It's always nice to hear records that have been lived in.
	11:24am Brendan: Don’t clean those records. They sound Per-fect.....
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign (now washington): In my mind, I imagine Andy The Painter was on a job and saw the box of 45s in the corner. As someone who can't himself around records, he took a look and his jaw dropped when he saw what was in their. Andy played it cool and approached the owner. The owner said. "Those old things? You can have them, pal."
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): Beats being called the "Sultan of Swing."

	11:45am Hubig Pie: I am currently dancing to my shmart phone
	11:45am HesperusWrecked: One Monkey has been one of my favorite song for ages.
	11:45am morphe': Guardian: "Wright’s debut 45, Paralysed, was released in 1965, and it sold well locally. However, Deep City lacked the resources to promote records properly, and so Reid and Clarke eventually passed Wright on to Henry Stone, a distributor with experience and contacts who was launching Alston Records in Miami. Aged 14, Wright recorded her debut album for Alston, My First Time Around (1968), which not only revealed her to be a formidable soul singer but generated a single, Girls Can’t Do What the Guys Do, that reached the Top 40s of the US and Canadian pop charts."
