WA2K Radio is now on the air

Ah, dj. Keep on rollin' honey. Believe it, Letty knows Dr. Hook and cover on the Rollin' Stones.

Hey, Johnny Set, and I do believe you even when you bash Canada. Hee hee.

Seriously, listeners. I think Setanta is right on target, but what we think doesn't matter to the royalty, if it ever did.

I adore the Brits on this station, and elsewhere.

Back latter, all. Company.

Yeah, I never let a person's nationality or heritage dictate feelings I have for him/her.

Yes, edgar. Would that all were possible in our field of dreams.

Love laughed at a king,
Kings don't mean a thing on the street of dreams.

Oh, silver and gold, all you can hold is in the moonlight,
For nothing is sure,
Long as love is pure,
On the street of dreams.

Sorry, listeners. I simply can't remember the lyrics,
And I really don't care.
It's simply a goodnight song from Letty.

The sea will wash against the rock
The rock stands strong, the rock is strong
The sea will wash against the rock
But before too long the rock is gone

The wind will blow against the stone
The stone stands strong, the stone is strong
The wind will blow against the stone
but before too long the stone is gone

Patience gentlemen, we move closer every day
Patience gentlemen, the stone will soon give way

Chorus
We are the wave,
We are the flow
We are the wind
And soon the rock must go
We are the wave,
We are the flow
We are the wind
And soon the rock must go

You cannot hold back the tide
The tide must rise the tide must rise
It's the law of earth and skies
The tide will rise, the tide will rise
It's as natural as day to night
As day to night, day to night
As natural as black and white
Black and white, black and white

Patience gentlemen, the flower can grow up through the stone
Patience gentlemen, it's a truth that we have always known

Chorus
We are the wave,
We are the flow
We are the wind
And soon the rock must go
We are the force
We are the fire
We are the move
Moving higher and higher,
We are the force
We are the fire
We are the move
Moving higher and higher


We are the wave,
We are the flow
We are the wind
And soon the rock must go
We are the wave,
We are the flow
We are the wind
We are the flow
We are the wave,
We are the flow
We are the wind
And soon the rock must go
We are the wave,
We are the flow
We are the wind
We are the flow

Look at that no one around again. You expected something else? No. Just once you'd think there'd be some g.....m coffe ready. There you go taking the Lord's name in vain again. Now what does that mean? Taking the Lord's name in vain. Does He give you any coffee? No. Then it's in vain. Guess you're right. Logic 101. Well, let's give those poor commuters a song to help them on the road. What do you want one of them sappy love songs or something funny? Funny. How about Allan Sherman? Suits me. Ok.

Strange Things In My Soup


(parody of "Strangers In The Night" by Frank Sinatra)
Soupy doopy doop,
Oh soupy doopy.
Soupy doopy doop,
Oh soupy doopy.
Strange things in my soup,
That's what I found there.
Little tiny things
That move around there.
Looking down I see,
They're looking up at me.
Strange things can be seen,
They're scattered sparsely.
Strange things that are green,
But are not parsely.
In my bowl they've made
Their little aquacade.
Soup was meant to be
Completely free of all extraneous debris
Except for now and then a noodle or some rice
But these things aren't nice.
See them swimming, splashing, thriving,
Holy smoke, they're scuba diving.
In my bouillabaisse
I looked and then I
Saw a tiny face
With large antennae
And I heard him say,
"Ooh, the soup is good today."
I let out a whoop,
I hollered, "Waiter, there are Strangers in my soup!"
And when he came I said, "Now I'm a connoisseur,
I ordered soup de jour."
He said, "Look, I'm just a waiter,
You need an exterminator.
You ordered soup de jour,
I knew you dug soup.
I brought the soup de jour,
Today it's bug soup.
That explains the group
Of strangers in your soup."
Soupy doopy doop,
Oh soupy doopy.
Soupy doopy doop,
Oh soupy doopy.
Soupy doopy doop...

Bob, do you think they'll like that song? Don't really care 'til I get my coffee.

Good morning WA2K fans.

edgar, you are a rock; you are an island, but as your song suggests, even the strongest of us become eroded over time.

Well, Bob, Nice to see you here opening up our studio with a parody. Love it, incidentally.

I declare, listeners, a monologue is the best way to go, because you'll never get any flack or aak aak.

Finally, folks, the north wind has abated and it appears that Florida has returned to its normal weather patterns. (whatever that is)

word for today:
montage

When you get a moment, audience, check out Reyn's montage. It's delightful.

Like Bob, I will be back after coffee.

and now for some morning news:

Attack of the Headless Fruit Flies
According to a study published in the April 7th science journal, Cell, Yale University researchers have come up with remote-controlled fruit flies. Evidently, the scientists can stimulate certain fruit fly brain cells with a laser and make them jump, walk, flap their wings and, yes, even fly. They've also had very encouraging results with steam-driven crickets and fleas that run on diesel fuel.

No, actually, that study was interesting because the scientists even got headless flies to fly when they goosed just the right neurons - and all with lasers. Think of the potential. Remember this the next time you see someone doing something really stupid. It could be that somebody is controlling them with a laser from across the street!

Hey all, my mouse has had a laser for some time, but I keep it on a leash.

Silly song to drosophila:

Fruit fly, don't bother me,
Fruit fly, don't bother me,
Fruit fly, don't bother me,
For I'm as happy as can be.

Good Morning to all. Beautiful morning here. Thought I'd post these before I get my java:

Raggedy, once again you have jogged our memory here on WA2K radio. My very first research paper was done on Lucretia, and I did the entire thing from the viewpoint of a glass of poisoned wine. I thought that I was sooooo clever. Well, I got an A, but I had to redo it because of spelling errors.

Who could ever forget Earl S. Gardner and his made for TV series. Aaron was a big guy who also did Ironsides. One of the most pleasant encounters that I ever had with a celeb, was Don Galloway who was his caretaker on the show.

Coffee song:


Black Coffee

I'm feelin' mighty lonesome
Haven't slept a wink
I walk the floor from nine to four
In between I drink
Black coffee
Love's a hand-me-down brew
I'll never know a Sunday
In this weekday room

I'm talkin to the shadow
One o'clock till four
And Lord, how slow the moments go
And all I do is pour
Black coffee
Since the blues caught my eye
I'm hangin' out on Monday
My Sunday dreams to dry


Now man was born to go a lovin'
But was a woman born to weep and fret
And stay at home and tend her oven
And down her past regrets
In coffee and cigarettes


I'm moonin' all the mornin'
Moanin' all the night
And in between it's nicotine
And not much heart to fight
Black coffee
Feelin' low as the ground
It's drivin' me crazy
This thinkin' 'bout my baby
Might maybe come around
Come around.

K.D. Lang

This is one of my all time favorite films. Watched it over and over again. Hayley Mills was fantastic playing both daughters of Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith. One daughter was raised in Boston and the other in California. A real highlight was both singing on a makeshift stage while trying to get their parents back together.

The Parent Trap, 1961


This story introduces us twins Sharon and Susan (both played by Hayley Mills), who were separated as children by their divorced parents, and who accidentally meet during a summer at Camp Inch. Determined never to be separated again, the sisters decide to bring their parents, Mitch and Maggie, back together. In this they have a rival, the devious Vicky, who wants to marry Mitch for his money. But after a fateful camping trip, Vicky finds living with the twins is not worth it and flees, leaving Mitch and Maggie to reunite happily.

The film was shot mostly in California at various locales, including millionaire Stuyvesant Fish's 5,200-acre ranch in Carmel, Monterey's Pebble Beach golf course, and the studio's Golden Oak Ranch in Placerita Canyon, where Mitch's ranch was built. It was the design of this set that proved the most popular, and to this day the Walt Disney Archives receives requests for plans of the home's interior design. Of course, there never was such a house; the set was simply various rooms built on a sound stage. The careful use of double-exposure and split-screen shots, as well as a double for Hayley Mills, provided the illusion of the twins.

Directed by David Swift, the movie was awarded with two Academy Awards, one for Sound by Robert O. Cook, and the other for Film Editing by Philip W. Anderson. Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman provided the songs, which, besides the title song "The Parent Trap", include "For Now, For Always," and "Let's Get Together," and these too added to the film's enormous popularity. The film was rereleased theatrically in 1968, and released on video in 1984 and 1992. The Studio later produced three television sequels starring Hayley Mills.

The original story is based upon the German children's book Lisa and Lottie, by Erich Kästner.

Starring: Hayley Mills, Maureen O'Hara, Brian Keith, Charles Ruggles, Una Merkel.
Directed by: David Swift.
Produced by: George Golitzen.

My coffee is cold, it's sittin' there on the stove.
My juice and my toast are there too.
My heart's in a shambles, I can't eat my scrambles.
My eggs don't taste the same without you.

The chair where you sat is occupied by the cat.
I wish you had taken him too.
I'm sitting here fried, you took life's sunny side.
My eggs don't taste the same without you.

No more good morning kiss,
No more "I love you."
No more laughs how the dog bit
The paperboy kid.
Ooh, wasn't that big news!

Now if you'll only come back, I'll even dig your damn cat,
I'll let you wear your curlers too.
I could do very nicely with your once over lightly,
My eggs don't taste the same without you....
Once over lightly......
My eggs don't taste the same without you.

WOW! Thanks, Bob, for that movie background. Hollywood makes 'em so real that folks think it is real.(or should that be reel)

Disney World may be a carousal of color, but it's big business here in Orlando, Florida, and to think it all started with a mouse.

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!

Station break:

This is cyberspace, WA2K radio.

From The Parent Trap

Let's Get Together
(Copyright 1961 Walt Disney Productions)

Let's get together, yeah yeah yeah
Why don't you and I combi-ine
Let's get together, what do ya say?
We could have a swingin' ti-ime.
We'd be a cra-a-azy team
Why don't we ma-a-ake the scene?
(Let's get) Together! whoa -oh -oh -oh

Let's Get Together, yeah yeah yeah
Think of all that we could sha-are.
Let's Get Together every day,
Every way and Everywhe-ere.
And though we haven't got a lot,
we could be sharin' all we've got,
Together!

OH - I really think you're swell.
Uh-huh! - You really ring the bell.
Ooo-whee - and if you stick with me,
Nothing could be greater
say "hey alligator" (now)

Let's get together, yea yea yea
Two is twice as nice as one,
let's get together right away
we'll be having twice the fu-un
and you can always count on me
a gruesome twosome we will be
Let's get Together! yeah yeah yeah

My word, folks. I almost missed George's damn cat and curlers song while I was on a coffee break. Love it, buddy.

Bob, I think most of our listeners with kids remember that melody as well. Wasn't Haley John Mills' daughter?

Well, I have company, so I must leave the mike open for the historians and singers.

Back later, folks.

The Parent Trap? What about The Tender Trap?

"You see a pair of flashing eyes
And suddenly, you're sighing sighs...

You're headed for a spot, that's just a dot
On the map ...."

Writer(s): Cahn/van Heusen

You see a pair of laughing eyes
And suddenly your sighing sighs
You're thinking nothing's wrong
You string along, boy, then snap!

Those eyes, those sighs, they're part of the tender trap

You're hand in hand beneath the trees
And soon there's music in the breeze
You're acting kind of smart, until your heart just goes wap!

Those trees, that breeze, they're part of the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot, that's just a dot on the map
You're hooked, you're cooked, you're caught in the tender trap

Some starry night, when her kisses make you tingle
She'll hold you tight, and you'll hate yourself for being single

And all at once it seems so nice
The folks are throwing shoes and rice
You hurry to a spot that's just a dot on the map
And then you wonder how it all came about
It's too late now there's no gettin' out
You fell in love, and love is the tender trap

Well, look here, listeners. It's McTag of Manchester with a trap song.

Let's see if we can make it go:

from trap DOORS:


You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Aouh, come on!
Come on, babe!

Yeah! come on!
Come on!

Woaouh! yeah!

It was the greatest night of my life.
Although I still had not found a wife
I had my friends
Right there beside me.
We were close together.
We tripped the wall, we scaled the graveyard
Ancient shapes were all around us.
The wet dew felt fresh beside the fog.
Two made love in an ancient spot
One chased a rabbit into the dark
A girl got drunk and balled the dead
And I gave empty sermons to my head.
Cemetary, cool and quiet
Hate to leave your sacred lay
Dread the milky coming of the day.

Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Aah, aah, aah, aah, aah
Aah, aah, aah, aaah!

Time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire!

All right, all right!

Hayley Mills

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


Hayley Catherine Rose Vivian Mills (born April 18, 1946) is a British actress.

She is the daughter of actor Sir John Mills, and playwright Mary Hayley Bell. She is the sister of actress Juliet Mills, who has a character in the soap opera Passions, and director Jonathan Mills.

Mills was 13 when she was discovered by J. Lee Thompson, who was looking for a boy to play the lead role in Tiger Bay. She went on to take the lead in several other films, notably Whistle Down the Wind (1961).

Hayley starred in the Disney Classic, Pollyanna, a story about a young girl who moves in with her Aunt. Her Aunt and all the townspeople's lives were changed including the Pastor of the church played by Karl Malden.

Walt Disney's wife loved her acting, and so she was contacted to participate in the Disney film The Parent Trap. She played a pair of twins who reunite their parents after a long time, and her acting earned her a special Oscar. Other Disney films in which she appeared included In Search of the Castaways, Summer Magic and That Darn Cat!. In 1998 she was awarded the prestigious Disney Legend award by The Walt Disney Company.

She also acted in the film Kes, directed by Ken Loach (1969).

In 1971, she married Roy Boulting, who was many years older than her. They had a child, named Crispian Mills, and divorced in 1977. Crispian later became a singer with the band Kula Shaker and is now front man for The Jeevas. Her second son, Jason Lawson, is the product of a 70's relationship with actor Leigh Lawson.

Mills has starred in many shows and plays since, more notably as a teacher in Saved By The Bell, and as Miss Anna Leonowens in the British production of The King and I.

She made her off-Broadway debut in Noel Coward's Suite in Two Keys in 2000.

Once again, audience. Bob has played musical and historic background for Haley's comet to fame and thereafter. Thanks, Boston, for that great item of interest.

Crispian? Odd name, no?

House guests have all left to descend on the malls of mayhem here, and shall return with shopping bags and bits. UhOh!

We would like to take this moment to salute all the staff and contributors of WA2K radio. Hang ten, folks and hang in.

It certainly is quiet in our studio. Perhaps a little history?

Today in History


Today in History - April 18


Today is Monday, April 18, the 108th day of 2005. There are 257 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

Fifty years ago, on April 18, 1955, physicist Albert Einstein died in Princeton, N.J., at age 76.

On this date:

In 1775, Paul Revere began his famous ride from Charlestown to Lexington, Mass., warning American colonists that the British were coming.

In 1906, a devastating earthquake struck San Francisco, followed by raging fires. About 700 people died.

You know, listeners, even the worst disasters in history haven't escaped songs that cite unlikely explanations:

"When they had the earthquake - in San Francisco - back in 19'6
They said that old Mother Nature - was up to her old tricks.


That's the story that went around, but here's the real lowdown:
Put the blame on Mame, boys... Put the blame on Mame.


One night she started to shim and shake,
that brought on the `Frisco quake.


So you can put the blame on Mame, boys...
Put the blame on Mame.


They once had a shootin' up in the Klondike when they got Dan McGrew,
Folks were puttin' the blame on the lady known as Lou.


That's the story that went around, but here's the real lowdown:
Put the blame on Mame, boys... Put the blame on Mame.


Mame did a dance called the Hichy-koo,
That's the thing that slew McGrew.


So you can put the blame on Mame, boys...
Put the blame on Mame.
