my thing last year was a unique classic breakbeat per ep (exception to guest sit in songs)
this year imma see if i can last 42 weeks doing discography of an artist a week.
last week was Cypress Hill
this week: Andrae Crouch
maybe i should make it interesting: say if the Week's winner determines the next week feature?
meaning:
you choose the artist and for the 5 days in a week we do the song that is the 15 second "crossover" that happens right after Jim tells the last joke and walks to the desk.
lets see how it goes.
as long as y'all don't pick something strange i might let y'all figure out the 5 songs we do.

Why? I figure you he’s got his theme, so I’d put a song by Chula Vista’s own punk band – including Thomas Zinzer and Zak Smith from Three Mile Pilot. There’s a guy on your staff who either knows about it – or would love to know about it.
Jeff Musial Bob Dylan's "Man Gave Name To All The Animals" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN3ni0UygYI REASON: Because he is the animal man. He will most likely get his usual song but if there's something new for 2015, I'll give this a shot. It's also funky in a Dylan way.

...my first thought was "anniversary albums?" Thought so many but the one that stuck out for me was 3 FEET HIGH AND RISING. No specific anniversary (it'll be the 26th in March) but to be able to hear "Three Is The Number" (on Wednesday, for the 3rd day of the week and of course the LZ beat being used in "Lesson 3") and "You Showed Me" (at regular speed and the 45 on 33) would be great.
My other thought, for the future, was SEX PACKETS, which will celebrate its 25th in March, and to be able to play Dexter Wansel's "Theme From The Planets" (for "Gutfest 89") would be incredible, bring the Philly vibe into things, especially with a horn section.
Anyway, I'll stay with De La Soul and/or just 3 FEET HIGH AND RISING.
Oh yeah, I also thought of the Geto Boys' debut for Def American, it too celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and... I'll stop now.

NO! LIST Tom Petty M J Zeppelin Springsteen Neil Young Eagles Ray Charles Madonna Chuck Berry South Park TV Songs Justin Timberlake "Food Glorious Food" "Twilight Zone" theme "A Boy Named Sue" "Night Moves" "The Situation" "Superbowl Shuffle"
Chris Hemsworth INXS' "Original Sin" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTULqzrhBWA REASON: 1) He's from Australia and 2) the lyric maybe can be changed from "dream of white cap, dream of black hat", in reference to his new film. Yeah, I know it reduces the serious topic to a movie reference but I'll keep it as is.
Sienna Miller Wu-Tang Clan's "Da Mystery Of Chessboxing" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJk0p-98Xzc REASON: Change the end of Ol' Dirty Bastard's verse to: "Dirty Ol' getting low wit his flow introducing Sienna Millaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, no can can get illah"

Why? This is that one, two shit with seandammit's suggestion.
PLUS when Midnight Marauders came out having Oh My God and God Lives Through share a sample reminded me of how Nice and Smooth's songs Nice and Smooth and Dope on A Rope had the same sample AND were back to back to on the record.
Josh Gad Blahzay Blahzay's "Danger" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YuvpHA7Wg4 REASON: The reference is to the Q-Tip sample of "oh my God" and while I know it's from the Beastie Boys' "Get It Together". I will stick with "Danger".

>Goop is her website.
First, let me say "Goop is not her website."
Or at least it wasn't -- originally.
Goop.com was registered originally as the website of actor Whitman Mayo , who you may remember as playing Grady Wilson on Sanford and Son, Grady, Sanford Arms, and Sanford.
I remember he appeared on Conan back in 1996 and announced that this was his website.

Kevin Hart Marty Robbins' "Ballad Of A Small Man" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoDR9GQ5XeM REASON: It's because he is a short actor, but the first verse is perfect: "He was a small man but this man was all man He was accustomed to danger He knew the badlands, he knew every bad man This man was a ranger, ranger, ranger"
In other words, it's not meant to be demeaning, it just pokes fun at his height.
Jay Baruchel Dan Fogelberg's "Looking For A Lady" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjiKDO-f7Yc REASON: His new show is called MAN SEEKING WOMAN, and lyric is simple: "Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady to change my night to day".

Why? About three years ago on the "ThisIsMyNext" podcast he famously said "Using windows feels like poison" - which has brought a lot of ridicule and taunting.
And say " Windows is poison. Josh Tops hates poison. " (And then do a lot of "poison" ad libs.)
BIG GEEK CRED. IT'll stick on Reddit for at least 6 hours.
(If he doesn't get to walk out and the segment starts at a table then play this into commercial.) ----- Brian Williams Henry Mancini - Brian's Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w26pW2Uz2-Y
Why? I think it’ll make the football fans over 35 cry.
Brian Williams will.i.am's "I Am" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_5o1r4nqCA REASON: I've suggested this song a number of times over the years, I'll try it with him, change the lyric to "Will.I.Am's, straight out of NIGHTLY, NIGHTLY", in reference to him being the host of NBC NIGHTLY NEWS.
Victoria Justice The Good Gyrls' "Your Sweetness (Is My Weakness)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR1yoAwaiig REASON: Her new show is EYE CANDY, thus a tie in with something sweet.

How does this work? Do you want us to post one a week? Want us to post our lists at the bottom of this post with multiple suggestions? Is it first one to suggest all year, or will you apportion credit weekly? If it's one a week do we have to keep suggesting the same artist? Shoudl I stop worrying how it works and just have fun?
