Four Play highlights and track listings for Tuesday 4th November.
Tonight a special Melbourne Cup day show. Special for a couple of reasons, first up it's Melbourne cup day, its the end of a four day weekend for some, and because Jay has been busy being the hostess with the mostest, at his and Garry's very own Cup day celebration spectacular, we both thought he deserved the night to "rest".
So, not only was I without Jay, but this was Chris' first attempt at running solo in a radio studio - let me know how I went - I need to know - if I was really bad, then I'll promise never to do it again!
I opened the show with "Camptown Races" , in celebration of the day. While best known these days for its use in the looney tunes cartoons, it was actually a song written way back in 1850 and was a comic song performed in a broad, stereotyped African American dialect.
My first Four Play of the evening continued our cup day theme, with four songs mentioning horses. Although, interestingly as it turns out, two tracks could just have easily been in a heroin based theme, but that was purely coincidental.
Track 1: Ride a White Horse - Goldfrapp
Track 2: A Horse with No Name - America
Track 3: Wild Horses - Rolling Stones
Track 4: The Horses - Daryl Braithwaite
For my second set tonight, we had Saturday Morning's Four Play expert football commentator come in as our special guest. Hamish brought us all up to date lots of great background information on the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. It was interesting and strangely continued our unofficial theme revolving around recreational drugs of dependency, yet again!
Track 1: Higher Ground
Track 2: Under the Bridge
Track 3: Scar Tissue
Track 4: Dani California
A podcast of what Hamish had to say about the Red Hot Chilli Peppers is available here
Next up tonight, given it's the end of a long hard party weekend for many, I decided to reprise a couple of cute, lightweight and fun four plays from some time ago.
first up - our Post Spice Girls Hits - showing just what the girls have acheived as solo artists (generally not much)
Track 1: Never be the same again (Mel C)
Track 2: What took you so long (Emma Bunton)
Track 3: Look at Me (Geri Halliwell)
Track 4: Out of your Mind (Truesteppers & Dane Bowers ft Victoria Beckham)
And lastly, a four play completely just for fun - Blockbuster Movie Title Song Hits
Track 1: When the going gets Tough - Billy Ocean
Track 2: Under the Bridge - The Power of Love - Huey Lewis and the News
Track 3: Ghostbusters - Ray Parker Jnr
Track 4: 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
And dedicated to Jay, who of course we missed terribly during the show this week, we finished with Coffee - Supersister - of course!
Have a great week!
