WA2K Radio is now on the air

Well, listeners, it's time for a little humor/humour here on our little radio station.

Sent to me by my Irish friend:


Friendship between Women:

A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her husband
that she had slept over at a friend's house. The man called his wife's
10 best friends. None of them knew about it.


Friendship between Men:
A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his wife that he
had slept over at a friend's house. The woman called her husband's 10
best friends. Eight of them confirmed that he had slept over, and two
claimed that he was still there.

I believe it! I believe it!

well, there's our riddle man with a pirate song. Great to see you back in our studio. What kid hasn't read RLS, and Ewing embellished it quite well.

Here's one for you Try:


(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)


As I cruised out one eve-e-ning upon a night's career
I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer
I heisted out my sig-a-nals which she so quickly knew
And when she saw my bunting fly she imme-diately hove to-woo-woo

(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)

I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine
And hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind
I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise
She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a dis-guy-eye-ise

(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-eye-eye)
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)

So, come all ye good sailor men who sail the wintry sea
And come, all ye apprentice lads, a warnin' take from me
Beware of lofty clipper ships, they'll be the ruin of you
For 'twas there she made me walk the plank and pushed me under, too-ooh-ooh

(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind

(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but)
One of the rovin' kind (yo-ho!)

letty : the punchline is a pretty simple one; keep in mind that is just a comment on the police chessclub ! (so it's not some kind of a joke). hbg

punchline :
'interesting ! the 'cop-on-the-beat' wins against the 'kriminaldirektor'(head of detectives)'.

Oh, ok, hamburger. I understand now.

Well, folks, it's time to climb into my bed and hope that I can stay awake to watch "Monk" and "House" on TV.

Goodnight, my friends.

Goodnight, sleep tight
No more tears
In the morning I'll be here
And when we say goodnight,
Dry your eyes
Because we said goodnight,
And not goodbye
We said goodnight
And not goodbye

From Letty with love

I Don't Wanna Grow Up
Tom Waits

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb
On Grand Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

Good morning, WA2K radio fans and contributors.

Hey, dj. Nice to see you back, buddy. You and Tom Waits are sooooo right. Nothing but bad news everywhere we look, I'm afraid.

Speaking of growing up, folks, I watched a brief exchange between Wynonna Judd and Cowboy Troy the other day on TV and they had a brief comedy routine that was great. Each one was trying to outdo the other as to who was the poorest when they were young. Wynonna had the final word. (naturally) by saying that she built the house she was born in.

Let's hear a little song by that cowboy from Troy. <smile>


Artist/Band: Cowboy Troy
Lyrics for Song: Automatic
Lyrics for Album: Loco Motive

She's sitting at the bar sipping on a beverage try to use your platinum card to get leverage
It don't matter she's got her own she got diamonds for buttons on her cellular phone.
She's a cutie with a booty hotie with a body
Get on the dance floor gunna get naughty.
Don't mean no harm just a little fun it don't matter till breakfast till you see the sun

Cant find the key to the door were her heart is.
Can't find no magic word to say all the things I want to say
There's no equation for that rose she only knows when she goes
She's automatic
She's automatic
She turns on when she wants to.
Don't give her no static
She's automatic
She turns on when she wants to
Automatic

The beat gets fast and you're craving more
Suddenly you make your way to the floor
It's a hick hop beat boy your body is pumped
All the fine ladies shaking there butts
Step up to one ask her to dance
It appears to you that she's in a trance
Take your time son play your position cause that's the primary mission

Cant find the key to the door were her heart is.
Can't find no magic word to say all the things I want to say
There's no equation for that rose she only knows when she goes
She's automatic
She's automatic
She turns on when she wants to.
Don't give her no static
She's automatic
She turns on when she wants to
Automatic

She's automatic
She's automatic
She turns on when she wants to.
Don't give her no static
She's automatic
She turns on when she wants to.
She's automatic
She's automatic
She turns on when she wants to.
Don't give her no static
She's automatic
She turns on when she wants to.

Automatic

Automatic

Automatic

Try, You just played probably one of my all time favorite songs, Thank you for that.

Brandy (You're A Fine Girl )
( Looking Glass )

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda)

There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes

And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves

He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home

The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say
"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my love and my lady is the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda)

Good Day WA2K.

Happy 87th to Jack Palance; 52nd to John Travolta; 56th to Cybill Shepherd and 42nd to Matt Dillon.

Jack Palance, an actor, a man I can sorta relate to in an odd sorta way.

Hey, try. Glad you liked the pirate ship, fish and chips girl, and although I am not familiar with your shanty, it is haunting. Thanks, b.h. <smile>

Now shari, Brandy, I know. Thanks, honey.

Ah, there's our Raggedy with pictures. I think perhaps she knows our pirate ship as well.

I know all of your celebs, gal, and I do believe that Jack Palance did Jekyll and Hyde. Matt Dillon made quite a come back in the movie Crash.

Hey, dys. Hope you got to watch House last evening. Great show and particularly good last evening with the tse tse fly and all.

OOOH, I love that Dr. House!!


A hot summer night fell like a net
I've gotta find my baby yet
I need you to soothe my head
And turn my blue heart to red

Doctor Doctor, gimme the news I got a
Bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill I got a
Bad case of lovin' you

A pretty face don't make no pretty heart
I learned that buddy from the start
You think I'm cute, a little bit shy
Mama, I ain't that kind of guy

Doctor Doctor, gimme the news I got a
Bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill I got a
Bad case of lovin' you

Solo

I know you like it, you like it on top
Tell me mamma, are you gonna stop?

You had me down twenty-one to zip
Smile of Judas on your lip
Shake my fist, knock on wood
I got it bad, and I got it good.

Chorus

Well, listeners, I was on the telephone much too long getting all the Virginia news that I really didn't want to hear. I HATE talking on the phone to someone who never listens, just talks.

Shari, don't know that song, honey, but I wish there was a doctor here like that guy on TV.

Breaking news:

APVP Accident Tale Filled With Discrepancies
AP - Sat Feb 18, 3:52 AM ET
WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney said he didn't immediately disclose his hunting accident because he wanted the confusing details to come out right. Instead, authorized accounts came out slowly -- and often still wrong. The result: a week of shifting blame, belatedly acknowledged beer consumption (not "zero" drinking after all) and evolving discrepancies in how the shooting happened, its aftermath and the way it was told to the nation.

Sure do miss our European friends.

Hey, here's a question of the day. In what TV show did John Travolta first appear?

Hello WA2K!

In which language do you want a song, Miss Letty?

" Vice President Dick Cheney said he didn't immediately disclose his hunting accident because he wanted the confusing details to come out right. "

if he really said that, it should qualify for $25 from readers digest ! don't they have a reward for the funniest story or something similar ? hbg

Well, there's our Francis, and you won't believe this folks, I just had a flash of an old song, and did a brief search replete with a brief bio.

Hey, Paris. How about changing the song that I am going to play into Spanish for us language illiterate Americans:

Who IS Ferlin Husky, really?
Ferlin's a complex performer, with many different styles and moods over the years, and many names as well. His real name is in fact Ferlin Husky, but he began in show business under the name "Tex Terry" and released his first record, "Remembrance Of Franklin D" (1949), under the pseudonym Terry Preston. During this period he released two records (1951's "China Doll" and 1953's "Hank's Song") under his real name. From 1953 to 1955, Ferlin spelled his last name "Huskey", and it was during these years that Ferlin developed a rather Andy Kaufman-like alter ego named Simon Crum, who began to rack up hits and have a career of his own. Like Jekyll and Hyde, you never know when Ferlin may transform into Simon, often going back and forth repeatedly in the course of a song! The amazing thing about Ferlin is that even if you're never quite sure who's coming to dinner, you can be sure of quality entertainment in his shows and recordings.





FERLIN HUSKY
- My Adobe Hacienda Lyrics

In my adobe hacienda there's a touch of Mexico

Cactus lovelier than orchids blooming in the patio

Soft desert stars the strum of guitars make every evening seem so sweet

In my adobe hacienda life and love are more complete



In my adobe hacienda nested in the western hills

Evening breezes softly murmur harmony with whippoorwills

Soft desert stars the strum of guitars...

Life and love are more complete

Oops, hamburger, missed your observation, and things do get muddier and muddier. <smile>That's politics for 'ya.

letty :
well, let's forget about politics and enjoy some texas style songs.
after we about two months in texas in the spring of 1979, mrs h became a fan of this music - and i enjoy it too.
we went to a number of 'music halls' (i think that's what they called them ) in austin and got into the spirit of things.
i still see us driving down country lanes and exchanging a friendly wave or 'tip of the hat' with people we'd never seen before and likely will never see again.
wouldn't mind going back some day. hbg
