WA2K Radio is now on the air

Flying Purple People eater, RJB.

One Eyed Purple People Eater

Hee, hee!

Sorry listeners, we all get kinda giddy at this time on the old radio. I think someone might have raided Eva's wine cellar.

(panz, don't forget "one horned")

As I was googling for silly lyrics, I found a song that must by dedicated to our favorite Scot, the dear McTag. Here goes:

"The Scotsman" - Bryan Bowers
written by Mike Cross
transcriber unknown

available on:
Bryan Bowers - Home, Home on the Road, Flying Fish LP 93, 1980
Dr. Demento Presents the Greatest Novelty Records of All Time, Vol. 5: the
1980's, Rhino LP/cassette 824, 1985
Dr. Demento - 20th Anniversary Collection, Rhino CD/cassette 70743, 1991


Well, a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair,
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share.
He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet,
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.

Chorus: Ring ding diddle iddle ay dee oh,
Ring di diddly ay oh,
(repeat last line of previous verse)

About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by,
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye:
"See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt!"

(Chours)

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be;
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see.
And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scotish skirt,
Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth.

(Chorus)

They marvelled for a moment, then one said: "We must be gone.
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.

(Chorus)

Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call, and stumbled towards the trees.
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt, and gawks at what he sees.
And in a startled voice he says, to what's before his eyes,
"Oh, lad I don't know where ye been, but I see ye won first prize!"

(Chorus)

My goodness, Diane. You been in the Scotch again?

Great parody, though.

Hey, not one person has dedicated a song to me. (goes off to cry in her beer)

Betty's out bein' bad tonight
Betty and her boyfriend
They had a big fight
She found out
What everybody knew
Too many cooks spoil the stew
She don't care
What nobody thinks
She's gonna be bad
'til the whole town stinks

chorus
Betty's bein bad
Betty's bein bad
She's bein bad bad bad
She's out bein' bad
Betty's out bein' bad tonight
Betty and her boyfriend
They had a big fight

She went home when she found out
Said, "Pack your bags
I want you out"
Her boyfriend thought
She was talking jive
'til he saw her standing
With a .45
A .45's quicker than 409
Betty cleaned house
For the very last time

chorus
Betty's bein bad
Betty's bein bad
She's bein bad bad bad
She's out bein' bad
Betty's out bein' bad tonight
Betty and her boyfriend
They had a big fight

Now if you go out
And you see Betty
Don't scream and shout
Unless you are ready
You are ready to rock
Ready to roll
'til hell freezes over
And you catch a cold
Betty's not mad
She's just getting even
Betty's bein' bad
It's her way of leaving

Now Betty was your average ordinary girl
Never wanted very much out of this world
Just an occasional dinner and twirl, from a regular guy

So Betty sat up one lonely night
Trying to figure out what a man might like
Then like a bolt right out of the blue, she got herself a plan

Betty's got a bass boat, Betty's got a truck, all of a sudden things are looking up
She's the most popular girl in town, since she got a new camper and a huntin' hound
Might be coincidental, oh you just might never know
Oh, but things sure got a lot better since Betty got a bass boat

Now lately getting a date isn't all that hard
There's a half a dozen Bubba's fightin' in the yard
She won 'em over with her Southern Charm, and a satellite dish

Now Betty can't believe her popularity
She's thinkin 'bout marketing her recipe
So ironic and the funny thing is, she never even liked to fish

Betty's got a bass boat, Betty's got a truck, all of a sudden things are looking up
She's the most popular girl in town, since she got a new camper and a huntin' hound
Might be coincidental, oh you just might never know
Oh, but things sure got a lot better since Betty got a bass boat

She's got bowling shoes, she can't lose
She's got those boys just blowin' their fuse
She's got a big screen, she's in the in scene
They're ever gonna make her Strawberry Queen

Betty's got a bass boat, Betty's got a truck, all of a sudden things are looking up
She's the most popular girl in town, since she got a new camper and a huntin' hound
Might be coincidental, oh you just might never know
Oh, but things sure got a lot better since Betty got a bass boat

Oh Betty
You know I loved you so
I'm shattered
It hurt so much to see you go

Give me your heart, I'll keep it beating
And your blood will spill no more
Oh I want to love you Betty
But I can't
'Cause you closed the greatest of doors

Oh Betty
Don't tell heaven where you've been
Don't you know that needing love is not a sin

Give me your soul, I'll be it's keeper
And the words I speak will be yours
Oh I try to hate you Betty
But I can't
'Cause you closed the greatest of doors

And the leaves are starting to fall from the trees again
And I remember when
And autumn wind sang a song of a sin
But I wasn't ready
Oh Betty

Oh Betty
Don't tell heaven where you've been
Didn't you know that needing love is not a sin

Give me your heart, I'll keep it beating
And your blood will spill no more
Oh I want to love you Betty
But I can't
'Cause you closed the greatest of doors

You closed the greatest of doors

dys, whose this Betty chick you're singin' to?

Betty White, or Betty blue.
Betty Boop? Give me a clue.

I wanna be loved by you,
Just you and nobody else but you.
I wanna be loved by you alone,
Boop boop e doop.

and now, listeners, you know the secrets that we keep,
Here on radio--bleep--bleep--bleep.

UhOh! The phones are ringing,
Let's keep on singing.
If it's the FCC,


Just say.................................................


Let 'em eat cake.

Later yawl.

Betty and Dupree


Gather 'round people let me tell you 'bout Dupree
Gather 'round people let me tell you 'bout Dupree
And his woman back in 1903
Betty was her name said she wanted a diamond ring
Betty was her name said she wanted a diamond ring
Dupree told Betty you can have most anything
Just lay down pretty Betty see what tomorrow brings
Said lay down pretty Betty see what tomorrow brings
May bring sunshine it may bring your diamond ring

Dupree went down-town a '44 in his hand
Dupree went down-town a '44 in his hand
Went for the jewelry but he shot that jewelry man
Dupree said Betty here's your diamond ring
Dupree said Betty here's your diamond ring
Just to please you pretty Betty I've done done a wicked thing

Dupree told Betty I'm bound for Tennessee
Dupree told Betty I'm bound for Tennessee
I'm sorry pretty Betty but that sheriff is a haunting me
They caught poor Dupree and put him into the jail
Caught poor Dupree put him in the jail
Atlanta prison is where Betty took Dupree his mail
Dupree said judge I ain't been here before
Dupree said judge I ain't been here before
Judge told Dupree I'm gonna see that you don't come back no more

They took him to the scaffold a black cap upon his face
Took him to the scaffold a black cap upon his face
Now the cold cold ground is for Dupree's resting place
Betty went to the graveyard singing near oh my god to thee
Betty went to the graveyard singing near oh my God to thee
Oh mister hangman look what you done done to Dupree
She told the hack-driver to drive his wagon slow
Told the hack-driver drive your dead wagon slow
When you bury my Dupree I ain't gonna see him no more

Sail on Dupree sail on, sail on Dupree sail on
Don't mind you sailing but you be gone so long
So long Dupree poor boy so long, Dupree poor boy
Don't mind you sailing you'll be gone so long, sail on
Dupree poor boy

here's one for the FCC

from monty python's contractual obligation's cd

i bet you they won't play this song on the radio

I bet they won't play this song on the radio.
I bet you they won't play this new (bleep) song.
It's not that it's (bleep) or (bleep) controversial,
Just that the (bleep)ing words are awfully strong.
You can't say (bleep) on the radio,
Or (bleep) or (bleep) or (bleep).
You can't even say I'd like to (bleep) you some day
Unless you're a doctor with a very large (bleep).
So, I bet you they won't play this song on the radio.
I bet you they daren't (bleep)ing well programme it.
I bet you their (bleep)ing old programme directors
Will think it's a load of horse (bleep).

and here's one just for our own letty;
Oh my, but you have a pretty face
You favor I girl that I knew
I imagine that she's back in Tennessee
And by God, I should be there too
I've a sadness too sad to be true

But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear
In same way that I'm leaving you
Because love is mainly just memories
And everyone's got him a few
So when I'm gone I'll be glad to love you

At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz
There's no telling who will be there

When I leave it will be like I found you love
Descending Victorian stairs
And I'm feeling like one of your photographs, girl
Trapped while I'm putting on airs
Getting even by saying Who cares

At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz
There's no telling who will be there

So have all your passionate violins
Play a tune for a Tennessee kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town
But with no place to go if he did
Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz
There's no telling who will be there

I've got one to dedicate to letty also:

Since I Met You Baby
Words and Music by Ivory Joe Hunter



Since I met you baby my whole life has changed

Since I met you baby my whole life has changed

And everybody tells me that I am not the same



I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to

I don't need nobody to tell my troubles to

Cause since I met you baby all I need is you



Since I met you baby I'm a happy man

Since I met you baby I'm a happy man

I'm gonna try to please you in every way I can

one more for our letty

Look At Us

Found an old box in the bottom of the closet,
'Neath the bowlin' ball bag full of magazines.
An' a school sweater with a ring in the pocket,
From a first cigar; man, did I turn green?
Hey, honey, come look at what I just found.
This old picture of us when the carnival came to town.

An' I was Superman, Tarzan:
Thought I was a star in a rock an' roll band.
An' you were Lois Lane, Letty Jane.
I wasn't very good, but you were the biggest fan,
Of the man that your Momma warned you not to trust:
Now, baby, look at us.

There's a bracelet that I made you at our homecomin' party:
Bought a six-pack of Bud just to get the tabs.
Took you home, an' you wore it proudly,
But I got in trouble when you showed your Dad.
Here's a sticker from the Dixon drive-in show.
What movie was playin', we never did know.

I was Superman, Tarzan:
Thought I was a star in a rock an' roll band.
An' you were Lois Lane, Letty Jane.
I wasn't very good, but you were the biggest fan,
Of the man that your Momma warned you not to trust:
An', baby, look at us.

Instrumental break.

An' you were the biggest fan,
Of the man that your Momma warned you not to trust:
Now, baby, look at us.
(Look at us.)

Yeah, I was Superman, Tarzan:
You were Lois Lane, Letty Jane.
(Look at us.)
Oh, baby, look at us.
(Look at us.)
Yeah, look at us.

To fade.

ah, thanks, folks...and this is true.

edgar, dys, and dj, too.

It's really a wonderful world that we have here. I think about our planet, our country, our own little corner, and I feel somewhat wistful, but in the end, we are all one, and we are all in it together.

".......sparkles from the wheel......."

Goodnight, in any language.

With love and appreciation
From Letty

Now it's time to say good night
Good night Sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night Sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Good night Sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night Sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.

Good night Good night Everybody
Everybody everywhere
Good night


Beatles

Up here for three hours already :wink:

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Nice Walter

Dys, Jesse Winchester can write them eh?

<on line translations not that good...>

I made this rhyme...

Là bas à la gare
Dès potron minet
Regarde les tortillards
Bien alignés

Regarde le petit pompier
Tourner sa petite poignée
Teuf-teuf pon-pon
Nous démarrons.

Good morning, WA2K radio fans and performers.

Panz put us to sleep last night, and Walter woke us up this morning. Delightful way to end and begin the day.

Walter, wasn't that Cat Stevens (or whoever he is at this time)? The chord changes to that song are quite lovely.

Francis, that was a delightful translation, and far better than the web.

dj, missed your FCC song. Funnnneeeeee.

Well, listeners, it seems that another lost city has been found. Back later with news items and things of interest to our growing audience.
