WFMU: The Wiggle Room: Playlist from March 4, 2025

Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 7:15pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	🎸 ♥ 7:29pm Krys O.: Howdy!
	🎸 ♥ 7:33pm Austin Rich: I have been thinking about the recliner that my grandfather loved, and I've been wondering if it's time I get one...? Is Marla ready to wander into the living room and find me snoring while "The Rockford Files" is playing?
	🎸 ♥ 7:34pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @7:33 My father loved Matlock, just like Grandpa Simpson.
	🎸 ♥ 7:35pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @7:33 You can get recliners that propel you forward to help you stand up.
	🎸 ♥ 7:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @7:34 I recall that one had a great theme song, but I don't think I've seen one since the 90's. Was it good?
	7:42pm Imaginos: Ahoy! Hope you're all having a wonderful day
	🎸 ♥ 7:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @7:42 It's getting better, for sure! Thank you. How are you?
	🎸 ♥ 7:53pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @7:35 I watched Matlock a bit with my father. I was more of a Barnaby Jones, Banacek, McCloud, Columbo fan. Heck, I could add to the list: McMillan and Wife, The Snoop Sisters, Ellery Queen, and on and on. Courtroom driven series like Perry Mason were okay. I liked watching the detectives. Wait! There's more: Ironsides, I, Spy, Kojak, Police Woman, Cannon, Mannix, etc. The Rockford Files topped the list as all-time best.
	🎸 ♥ 7:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @7:53 I have a soft spot for Ellery Queen, too. But I know that better from books.
	7:55pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @7:52 Doing well. Did more music videos today
	8:01pm Kitschy Mama: Helloooo fine folks!
	8:01pm Imaginos: ↳ Kitschy Mama @8:01 Ahoy!
	8:02pm Mr Fab: hey lawdy Mama!
	🎸 ♥ 8:04pm Austin Rich: I'm not a baby astronaut. Amateur Astronaut? Gimme a few more beers and we'll see where I'm at.
	🎸 ♥ 8:05pm Krys O.: Excellent Groucho drop-in. Well, all of your drop-ins are choice!
	8:06pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:04 Castle Frankenstein Christmas Eve 1829.
	8:06pm Kitschy Mama: ↳ Krys O. @8:05 Thank You Krys!
	🎸 ♥ 8:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:05 Yeah, this show reminds me of the best mix tapes I would get back in the day.
	♥ 8:07pm FoolishBandit: Mix tapes need to make a comeback
	🎸 ♥ 8:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ FoolishBandit @8:07 Hell yeah. I feel like the best radio shows sound like good mix tapes. WFMU / Sheena's often achieves that.
	♥ 8:08pm FoolishBandit: Closest thing I can think of a modern version of them are playlists on Spotify
	🎸 ♥ 8:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ FoolishBandit @8:08 The 20-somethings at work all have strong feelings about their digital playlists. But they're missing the strange clips between songs, tv commercials, your friends hanging out at the donut shop... all the stuff between the songs that made the best mix tapes AWESOME.
	🎸 ♥ 8:11pm Austin Rich: Krys! You were just talking about this!
	🎸 ♥ 8:12pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:11 I'm psychic!!
	8:12pm Imaginos: Bowie riff
	♥ 8:13pm FoolishBandit: ↳ Austin Rich @8:10 I'm probably of that generation lol, but I listen to my Dad's old mixes I understand the vibe you're talking about. I learnd how to make mix tapes with an old pal and we would just experiment on a tape deck we bought at the local thrift store.
	🎸 ♥ 8:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:12 This is when you reveal that you are actually Sheena herself, the spirit of this station!
	🎸 ♥ 8:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:12 Good ear!
	♥ 8:15pm FoolishBandit: ↳ Austin Rich @8:14 So I am relatively new to WFMU, who is Sheena, why does she have a room in the Jungle? Is the Jungle room a Elvis Presley reference? So many questions
	🎸 ♥ 8:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ FoolishBandit @8:15 I have no idea if this is the actual answer, but I always assumed Sheena was a reference to this old comic book that I love: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 8:18pm FoolishBandit: Interesting
	🎸 ♥ 8:20pm Austin Rich: As for the Jungle Room, the internet seems to think that Elvis had the first one, but I've listened to a lot of old radio shows, and I've heard characters in the 50's go to different hotels that had Jungle Rooms too, so I suspect that it was just a trend in those days, along with tiki music and velvet paintings.
	🎸 ♥ 8:20pm Krys O.: I'm guessing it had to do with combining the Ramones' song and cheesy Elvis kitsch. The Jungle Room was a name that some nightclubs appropriated in the late 50s/early 60s. The Populuxe post-WWII era.
	🎸 ♥ 8:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:20 I've wondered if the Ramones song was a reference to the Queen of The Jungle, but perhaps that's just because I like comics.
	♥ 8:23pm FoolishBandit: See this opens up to some interesting lines of thought?!?
	🎸 ♥ 8:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Come Out Tonight" by "The Jaguars" Damn! This is wild! I love it.
	🎸 ♥ 8:25pm Austin Rich: I do love that people are still mad about the hippies. Every generation the kids get annoyed with them, the reason being different from year to year.
	♥ 8:25pm FoolishBandit: Hippies were just spoiled rich kids pretending to be poor
	8:27pm Imaginos: ↳ FoolishBandit @8:25 If that is true it explains why they could afford to travel with Up With People
	♥ 8:27pm FoolishBandit: I have no doubt there was actual hippies with that lifestyle. But most of them were rich kids wanting to be with the in style.
	🎸 ♥ 8:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ FoolishBandit @8:25 Could be. I just never liked listening to that much Phish. Or any, honestly.
	♥ 8:28pm FoolishBandit: ↳ Austin Rich @8:27 Phish is an acquired taste
	🎸 ♥ 8:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dirty Old Man" by "Lieutenant Pigeon" As I am just shy of my 50th, I'm starting to wonder if this is me...
	8:29pm Imaginos: ↳ FoolishBandit @8:28 Phish? I would have used Ghoti.
	🎸 ♥ 8:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Killer Refrigerator" by "Chem" Woah. I think I have a new favorite song? The gif is BRILL.
	8:30pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "Killer Refrigerator" by "Chem" Usually spotted in The Dangerous Kitchen
	8:32pm Mr Fab: Yes, the phrase “Sheena‘s jungle room” encompassed references to the Ramones (and hence punk, garage rock), comics/pulp fiction (and yes Joey Ramone said he was inspired by the comic’s jungle queen), tiki, Elvis, sleazy old nightclubs and dive bars… all in three words. Station Manager Ken and I were brainstorming trying to come up with a way to alert listeners that this was an Internet stream free of FCC regulations, so we could get as kookoo bananas as we want.
	♥ 8:35pm FoolishBandit: ↳ Mr Fab @8:32 I saw on reddit describe this stream as "A low brow thrift shop grab bag". Which I think is pretty neat and fits
	🎸 ♥ 8:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Shrink" by "Penny Pearce" I'm... in love?
	♥ 8:43pm FoolishBandit: ↳ Song: "The Shrink" by "Penny Pearce" I can think of several reasons why I am nuts
	🎸 ♥ 8:51pm Austin Rich: "The Letter": that's a pretty short, amazing song. (1:53.) Is there anything better that's shorter?
	8:52pm Kitschy Mama: ↳ Austin Rich @8:51 Short And Sweet!
	🎸 ♥ 8:52pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Memphis" by "Alex Chilton" Fun Fact: R. Stevie Moore and Alex Chilton were once on the same bill at Folk City. I was there. The poster hung in our kitchen for years. rsteviemoore.bandcamp.com...
	🎸 ♥ 8:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kitschy Mama @8:52 It's probably time for me to do another "I (Heart) Short Songs" show.
	8:53pm Kitschy Mama: ↳ Austin Rich @8:52 It's Time!
	🎸 ♥ 8:54pm Krys O.: Thanks for a fun show!
	🎸 ♥ 8:55pm Austin Rich: I agree: super fun! Thanks for the great music.
	8:55pm Kitschy Mama: Thanks Guys!
	8:58pm Mr Fab: Much thanks , Mama! You rock.
	♥ 9:59pm WR: Thank you! Kitschy Mama!
