	👻 3:16pm chris: Lionel, Lionel, Lionel...
	3:17pm Marshall Stacks: Candy Pants: ALL KINDS of wrong.
	3:17pm Brendan: Lionel you silver tounged devil
	3:17pm JakeGould: Drunks With Guns right over here: www.discogs.com...
	3:18pm Ike: Wait, whaaat? Irwin is participating in Singles Going Steady? Irwin?! Really?? This can't be the real Irwin. HE'S A FAKE! The Lizard Men have replaced him with a duplicate! Quick, somebody ask him what he thinks of Sarah Palin!
	3:20pm Michele: You can do it Irwin!!!!!
	3:20pm ccrides: Play what you dig!!!...:)O(:...
	3:21pm Laura L: After "Candy Pants" can "Curly Toes" be far behind? Maybe it wasn't on vinyl, though....
	3:21pm Michele: @Brendan hahahaha was thinking the same thing!
	3:22pm JakeGould: Please do not play anything like “Candy Pants” for the next 45 minutes because I am going to be eating. “Nitty Gritty” is perfectly fine.
	3:26pm Woo: Green old octopus hag. That's harsh.
	3:26pm Marshall Stacks: It was a meet-cute.
	3:26pm laughingacademy: Someone needs to made a direct-to-video adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story with this as the credits music.
	3:27pm Brendan: Candy Pants might be suitable background dining music if one were eating , say a steak at strip club at 3 am.
	3:27pm laughingacademy: My last comment referred to "Octopus Woman," but it works for "Mr. Froggie Went A-Courtin'" too.
	3:29pm Caryn: @Brendan: I'd say more 3 p.m. steak lunch at the strip club. Somehow, that seems even sleazier.
	3:29pm Irwin: Thanks to listeners Pat of Brooklyn and Brian of NYNY.
	3:31pm Ray: Irwin: You are my favorite WFMU dj. Noone knows or plays "I Dig You" by Easy Cure. THANK YOU.
	3:34pm Ray: Oh yeah, the song is not Cult Hero although it might've come in the same single.
	3:37pm Webhamster Henry: I remember seeing the Sea Monkeys at Brownies.
	3:38pm steve: hahaha
	3:43pm JakeGould: They should have written a song about C-Town.
	👻 3:49pm rrg: No, no. The blank line for "Your DJ Speaks" is not there.
	3:50pm Irwin: Fixed, rrg. Thx,
	3:51pm Listening Out There: DJ speaks = "Arf"
	👻 3:51pm rrg: I was worried that the software wouldn't let you do it post-hoc.
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hokay...seem to have got away w/ black humor about shocking loss of life in the admirably less violent nation to my north... - hey rrg ! - good to see ya... ...this is your roll model ? : media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com... ...looks like SidVicious ! ...'kick his son in the pants' - haha !...
	3:52pm Brendan: This song finally gives closure to Waylon's question.
	3:52pm Brendan: Wake him up
	3:54pm ccrides: Here, here...I'll drink to that!!!...:)O(:...
	3:56pm Caryn: Oh, our little Eurovision winner...
	3:56pm Listening Out There: "Ein Bisschen Frieden" = "A Little Peace" in English. That's what the Interwebs tells me. I believe everythang the Interwebs tell me...
	4:00pm Laura L: Das stimmt, a little peace, a little happiness, a little love, etc. So that people don't cry so much on this earth, is what Nicole hopes for.
	4:02pm ccrides: That' why we should all vote Democrat, Laura..._smile_ ...:)O(:...
	4:03pm Listening Out There: The alphabet is overrated.
	4:04pm Jack: Some of my favorite letters are in the alphabet.
	4:04pm ccrides: Language is very complicated, Irwin..!..hehehe...:)O(:...
	4:05pm steve: why is the alphabet in that order?
	👻 4:05pm rrg: You know, many of these songs can be found on other media that don't slip and slide and scratch and pop. I'm just sayin'.
	4:06pm Caryn: Letters can be combined into words? U R not C re S.
	4:06pm Irwin: My favorite letters are P-L-E-D-G-E.
	4:06pm dale: just tooned in - damn, i missed candy pants. did he still eat the seat?
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @rrg: ...yer probably familiar: media-cache-cd0.pinimg.com...
	4:10pm Brendan: That carpenters song song makes me want to take a walk and reflect. Maybe go to the highest spot in the city at dawn and say 'I'm still here you haven't beaten me down' .Then maybe eat some cocoa puffs for breakfast. Who knows .
	👻 4:10pm Alison Porchnik: Why iz only 59%? Peepul gots to give teh monee!
	4:10pm Irwin: ^ What Alison sedz!
	4:12pm Jeff: Bless Perry Como and his cardigans.
	4:12pm Michele: I had no idea I liked Perry Como. Thanks Irwin!
	4:13pm Irwin: Perry did a lot of stuff in Nashville with top-notch country sidemen.
	4:14pm Jeff: Want to know what a freak I was as a child? I had a Perry Como phase. I've said too much.
	4:14pm Brendan: 74% of statistics are made up on the spot.
	4:14pm Irwin: Thanks to pledgers Don in Malvern and RRG in Scotch Tape.
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as peculiar a way as - cocoapuffs w/ Karen Carpenter ??...uh, no...
	👻 4:16pm rrg: One of my friends, as a little girl, appeared on Perry Como's TV show. He sang a suitable song to her. That fact has always impressed the hell out of me.
	4:16pm ccrides: I wonder if there are any statistics on how accurate your average gut feelings are???...)O(...
	👻 4:17pm rrg: Was "Scotch Tape" an auto-correction, or a joke? Either way it's really funny.
	4:18pm Irwin: It was a miscorrected non-erroneous sleight of keyboard.
	4:18pm Caryn: @Jeff: did you get as excited upon hearing Perry Como as Brendan Fraser got in "Blast from the Past"?: www.youtube.com...
	👻 4:19pm rrg: Goffin/King. A great tune. Irwin, did you keep all your childhood 45s? Or are these all adult acquisitions?
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - perfect record really.
	👻 4:20pm rrg: My brother stole all my good childhood 45s. And then proceeded to lose them. Rat bastard.
	4:20pm Brendan: SCTV perrody http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zj5A7W-0zPY
	4:20pm duke: It really was one of the greatest,
	👻 4:22pm rrg: That must be (I haven't looked) "Perry Como Is...Still Alive!", right? I loved that. I play Perry a lot. Just the other day, in fact.
	4:22pm ccrides: It would be the same a saying you don't like Under The Boardwalk'...or 'You and Me and Rain On The Roof'!!!...:)O(:...
	4:22pm dale: i have album where perry como sings the partridge family's 'i think i love you.' it. is. awesome.
	4:24pm Listening Out There: Bathroom break? Is that a union position?!?!?
	4:24pm ccrides: Stack 'em!!!...LOL...:)O(:...
	👻 4:24pm rrg: Dale, I don't have that Perry Como album but I'm sure going to look for it.
	4:26pm r i s k y: GO IRWIN! Drunks With Guns forever!
	👻 4:26pm rrg: Yeah, I really have no use for vinyl except as a medium to be digitized as cleanly and as quickly as possible.
	4:27pm Carmichael: From Perry Como to Drunks With Guns. This could only be FMU. Heya Irwin and Chusidites.
	4:27pm dale: www.youtube.com...
	4:31pm Jeff: @Caryn: maybe not quite. But gosh, that was a pretty snappy modulation.
	4:34pm Rich in Washington: Oh jeez! I haven't heard this song since I was a kid.
	4:35pm Caryn: @Jeff: it did really take off, didn't it. And the choir really started to kick ass.
	4:35pm V Priceless: I can hear Mitchum covering this.
	4:36pm conkrete_dawg: still don't know why it was called a TV "set"
	4:36pm laughingacademy: Wait, he's complaining that TV rassling taught Granny how to take down a burglar? What an ungrateful jerk.
	👻 4:37pm rrg: Hey. This song isn't on the great big Stan Freberg set.
	4:38pm conkrete_dawg: linda stipe!
	4:38pm Irwin: And Linda Hopper!
	4:38pm Irwin: And David Pierce!
	👻 4:39pm rrg: Correction. That song IS on the big Stan Freberg set, except it's titled "Tele-vee-Shun" on that set.
	4:39pm Mary Wing: And Matthew Sweet!
	4:40pm Irwin: Your title is correct, rrg.
	4:40pm Irwin: Matthew Sweet wasn't on this single, but he's on the album.
	4:42pm Mary Wing: Oops, my bad. This show's great - you're on fire today, Irwin!
	4:43pm Mike East: efd!
	4:44pm Parq: The Cosmops! With 'Wild Moose Party' on the other side.
	4:44pm Irwin: EFD not on this single, joined group later.
	4:45pm Mike East: :(
	4:47pm Mary Wing: Linda Hopper was also in Magnapop, yes?
	4:50pm Irwin: Hopper in MagnaPop - yep.
	4:55pm Laura L: Nice Clientele single.
	4:58pm Irwin: Hoping we can hit 100% pledge goal by 6:00. Help support the only station in the universe that would offer 168 hours worth of vinyl singles.
	4:59pm JakeGould: Hey! 60% percent! Hubba bubba… DAMMIT! This is what happens when you play something like “Candy Pants” on your show! It’s a bad influence!
	5:00pm JakeGould: I meant 69%! The percentage was so titillating I made a mistake!
	5:03pm Caryn: @JakeGould: and there was I thinking that "Candy Pants" was so titillating that it had even managed to make a new number dirty...
	👻 5:05pm Alison Porchnik: this is depraved
	5:05pm Parq: She doesn't sound a thing like Frank Jr.
	5:05pm Mary Wing: From 1976, wow. I only knew the version by the Pale Saints.
	5:05pm conkrete_dawg: sounds more like Will Ferrell than Spandau Ballet
	5:06pm Marshall Stacks: Reminds me of one of Ken's favorites, Brown Whornet.
	5:06pm jeg: nice
	👻 5:07pm Alison Porchnik: Wally Cox yodels? One more reason to love him.
	5:07pm Caryn: hahahahaaaaahahahahaaaahahahaaaaaa gasping for air
	👻 5:07pm rrg: This sounds scratchy enough to have been in your parents' collection. But you've played this before.
	5:08pm Carmichael: Someone punched this guy in the throat.
	5:09pm ScottC: ya gotta play "Duffo"
	5:09pm ScottC: Wally Cox was Marlon Brando's best friend. Brando had his ashes...
	5:10pm Carmichael: I can't picture those 2 hanging out partying together.
	5:11pm Caryn: I like to imagine Wally singing that to Marlon when they lived together in NYC. Timelines probably don't match up, but dammit, I can dream!
	5:12pm Caryn: @Carm: Brando famously said he would've married Wally Cox if he'd been a woman.
	5:14pm JakeGould: Going back to Hackensack.
	5:16pm Carmichael: Going BACK?!?
	5:17pm Caryn: This is a case of lyrics where singing about other people clearly works, because it would be difficult to imagine the possessor of this voice making "mad passionate love" to anyone, so much better to have him sing about other people doing it.
	5:17pm Carmichael: In one scene of the Rutles documetary, there's a song called "You Need Feet" credited to Nasty's girlfriend. It sounds like this guy's voice, like exactly.
	5:18pm Parq: Caryn, as ol' Irving Berlin once noted, you'd be surprised.
	👻 5:19pm rrg: Oh, this is too wonderful for words.
	5:19pm Webhamster Henry: There are those crows .. too bad you don't have that crow call / crow shooting record.
	5:19pm Listening Out There: Guess this is not THE Atco Records, which was part of Atlantic Records, right?
	👻 5:19pm Alison Porchnik: Crows make the day extra autumnal
	5:20pm Caryn: True. On the other hand, if that voice proposed mad passionate love to me, I'd pass out from hyperventilating after laughing too much, so... Then again, after learning that the Krankies were swingers, nothing much surprises me anymore.
	5:22pm V Priceless: Wonderful Bonzos! What's the flip of this, Irwin?
	5:23pm Irwin: "Slush" on both sides. Promo 45.
	5:24pm Caryn: Part 2: Middle-aged and Bitter Crows Part 3: Elderly and Doddering Crows Part 4: Dead and Decomposing Crows
	5:24pm Irwin: LOT: the label is pictured in the playlist montage.
	5:25pm Caryn: If we some day find out this is, in fact, Andy Kaufman doing his Elvis thing again, but somewhat differently, the world would be a more interesting place. Doubt it, though.
	5:26pm Peanut: This song is wild.
	👻 5:27pm rrg: I owned this. So did you, evidently.
	5:28pm KevinfromBayRidge: We needed some Martians. Thanks for all you do, Irwin!
	5:28pm Matt F: I would swear that the martian sound effect intro on this record is the exact same one used at the beginning of "Fox On The Run" by Sweet.
	5:28pm Guido from Cologne: There is a german version of this with Indonesian group The Javalins
	5:29pm Caryn: Now I need to check Rex's space-themed premium to see if this was on it.
	5:29pm dennis diken: the great Gary Chester drums on The Martian Hop. the Ran Dels rule!
	5:30pm ?: @Caryn: It's on at least one of Dr. Demento's compilations.
	5:34pm Caryn: Cans need to be opened all the time. It's the bottle opener end that is pretty much useless nowadays.
	5:34pm Rich in Washington: there's a handy metal and woodworking tool called a 'reamer' (google with care, folks) that does the job really well. No record maintenance kit is complete without one.
	5:36pm Carmichael: I still have (and regularly use) my DiscCleaner kit.
	5:39pm P-90: @Caryn: There are many beers, imported and from small domestic breweries, that don't have screw caps.
	5:40pm Irwin: Thanks to listener/contributor Kevin of Brooklyn for getting us to the 70% mark.
	👻 5:40pm chris: with a few exceptions, i'd say the tastiness of the brew in the bottle increases with the need for a bottle opener
	5:41pm P-90: @Carmichael: You mean "DiscWasher"?
	5:42pm Caryn: @P-90: true, that's why I put the "pretty much" in there. The need for bottle openers has significantly decreased in the past decade or two, but not entirely gone away. There has not been as big a shift in the need for can openers.
	5:43pm Irwin: P-90: No, I don't mean the bottle-opener side, I mean the CAN-opener side. Who uses that anymore?
	5:43pm Carmichael: Yes, P-90, that's it. The red gun and accessories under the smoked plastic cover.
	5:43pm Irwin: Next song goes out to LAURA L.
	5:44pm Carmichael: Irwin, I use the can opener side annually, to help ease the jellied cranberry sauce from the can. Disaplaying the original can rings is key to the presentation.
	5:45pm Laura L: Yay.
	5:46pm ccrides: An exceptionally groovy show today, Irwin..!..Cheerz!!!!...:)O(:...
	5:46pm fred von helsing: Yes!
	5:48pm Irwin: Thanks to longtime listener and GREAT MUSICIAN PETE for his pledge. Only 27% from this show's goal. Please pledge NOW, nice people.
	👻 5:49pm rrg: Yeah, I'm no fan of vinyl per se, but...a great selection today. Thanks. Now get that collection digitized and throw away that non-working Liz Berg pre-owned turntable.
	5:50pm dale: a browns song that isn't the three bells? !
	5:50pm Carmichael: Turntable 2 is stoopid.
	5:51pm Marshall Stacks: Teen-Ex or Teex-ex?
	5:51pm Robert: Teaneck's young?
	5:53pm Marshall Stacks: Some of my best friends were....
	5:59pm Laura L: Fun show, Irwin, thank you!
	6:00pm Listening Out There: Good stuff. Thanks!
	6:00pm Whosondephone: The Boss and I think this was the best singles going steady Show so far!

	3:26pm laughingacademy: Someone needs to made a direct-to-video adaptation of an H.P. Lovecraft story with this as the credits music.
	3:27pm Brendan: Candy Pants might be suitable background dining music if one were eating , say a steak at strip club at 3 am.
	3:27pm laughingacademy: My last comment referred to "Octopus Woman," but it works for "Mr. Froggie Went A-Courtin'" too.
	3:29pm Caryn: @Brendan: I'd say more 3 p.m. steak lunch at the strip club. Somehow, that seems even sleazier.
	3:29pm Irwin: Thanks to listeners Pat of Brooklyn and Brian of NYNY.
	3:31pm Ray: Irwin: You are my favorite WFMU dj. Noone knows or plays "I Dig You" by Easy Cure. THANK YOU.
	3:34pm Ray: Oh yeah, the song is not Cult Hero although it might've come in the same single.
	3:37pm Webhamster Henry: I remember seeing the Sea Monkeys at Brownies.
	3:38pm steve: hahaha
	3:43pm JakeGould: They should have written a song about C-Town.
	👻 3:49pm rrg: No, no. The blank line for "Your DJ Speaks" is not there.
	3:50pm Irwin: Fixed, rrg. Thx,
	3:51pm Listening Out There: DJ speaks = "Arf"
	👻 3:51pm rrg: I was worried that the software wouldn't let you do it post-hoc.
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...hokay...seem to have got away w/ black humor about shocking loss of life in the admirably less violent nation to my north... - hey rrg ! - good to see ya... ...this is your roll model ? : media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com... ...looks like SidVicious ! ...'kick his son in the pants' - haha !...
	3:52pm Brendan: This song finally gives closure to Waylon's question.
	3:52pm Brendan: Wake him up
	3:54pm ccrides: Here, here...I'll drink to that!!!...:)O(:...
	3:56pm Caryn: Oh, our little Eurovision winner...
	3:56pm Listening Out There: "Ein Bisschen Frieden" = "A Little Peace" in English. That's what the Interwebs tells me. I believe everythang the Interwebs tell me...
	4:00pm Laura L: Das stimmt, a little peace, a little happiness, a little love, etc. So that people don't cry so much on this earth, is what Nicole hopes for.
	4:02pm ccrides: That' why we should all vote Democrat, Laura..._smile_ ...:)O(:...
	4:03pm Listening Out There: The alphabet is overrated.
	4:04pm Jack: Some of my favorite letters are in the alphabet.
	4:04pm ccrides: Language is very complicated, Irwin..!..hehehe...:)O(:...
	4:05pm steve: why is the alphabet in that order?
	👻 4:05pm rrg: You know, many of these songs can be found on other media that don't slip and slide and scratch and pop. I'm just sayin'.
	4:06pm Caryn: Letters can be combined into words? U R not C re S.
	4:06pm Irwin: My favorite letters are P-L-E-D-G-E.
	4:06pm dale: just tooned in - damn, i missed candy pants. did he still eat the seat?
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @rrg: ...yer probably familiar: media-cache-cd0.pinimg.com...
	4:10pm Brendan: That carpenters song song makes me want to take a walk and reflect. Maybe go to the highest spot in the city at dawn and say 'I'm still here you haven't beaten me down' .Then maybe eat some cocoa puffs for breakfast. Who knows .
	👻 4:10pm Alison Porchnik: Why iz only 59%? Peepul gots to give teh monee!
	4:10pm Irwin: ^ What Alison sedz!
	4:12pm Jeff: Bless Perry Como and his cardigans.
	4:12pm Michele: I had no idea I liked Perry Como. Thanks Irwin!
	4:13pm Irwin: Perry did a lot of stuff in Nashville with top-notch country sidemen.
	4:14pm Jeff: Want to know what a freak I was as a child? I had a Perry Como phase. I've said too much.
	4:14pm Brendan: 74% of statistics are made up on the spot.
	4:14pm Irwin: Thanks to pledgers Don in Malvern and RRG in Scotch Tape.
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as peculiar a way as - cocoapuffs w/ Karen Carpenter ??...uh, no...
	👻 4:16pm rrg: One of my friends, as a little girl, appeared on Perry Como's TV show. He sang a suitable song to her. That fact has always impressed the hell out of me.
	4:16pm ccrides: I wonder if there are any statistics on how accurate your average gut feelings are???...)O(...
	👻 4:17pm rrg: Was "Scotch Tape" an auto-correction, or a joke? Either way it's really funny.
	4:18pm Irwin: It was a miscorrected non-erroneous sleight of keyboard.
	4:18pm Caryn: @Jeff: did you get as excited upon hearing Perry Como as Brendan Fraser got in "Blast from the Past"?: www.youtube.com...
	👻 4:19pm rrg: Goffin/King. A great tune. Irwin, did you keep all your childhood 45s? Or are these all adult acquisitions?
	4:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - perfect record really.
	👻 4:20pm rrg: My brother stole all my good childhood 45s. And then proceeded to lose them. Rat bastard.
	4:20pm Brendan: SCTV perrody http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zj5A7W-0zPY
	4:20pm duke: It really was one of the greatest,
	👻 4:22pm rrg: That must be (I haven't looked) "Perry Como Is...Still Alive!", right? I loved that. I play Perry a lot. Just the other day, in fact.
	4:22pm ccrides: It would be the same a saying you don't like Under The Boardwalk'...or 'You and Me and Rain On The Roof'!!!...:)O(:...
	4:22pm dale: i have album where perry como sings the partridge family's 'i think i love you.' it. is. awesome.
	4:24pm Listening Out There: Bathroom break? Is that a union position?!?!?
	4:24pm ccrides: Stack 'em!!!...LOL...:)O(:...
	👻 4:24pm rrg: Dale, I don't have that Perry Como album but I'm sure going to look for it.
	4:26pm r i s k y: GO IRWIN! Drunks With Guns forever!
	👻 4:26pm rrg: Yeah, I really have no use for vinyl except as a medium to be digitized as cleanly and as quickly as possible.
	4:27pm Carmichael: From Perry Como to Drunks With Guns. This could only be FMU. Heya Irwin and Chusidites.
	4:27pm dale: www.youtube.com...
	4:31pm Jeff: @Caryn: maybe not quite. But gosh, that was a pretty snappy modulation.
	4:34pm Rich in Washington: Oh jeez! I haven't heard this song since I was a kid.
	4:35pm Caryn: @Jeff: it did really take off, didn't it. And the choir really started to kick ass.
	4:35pm V Priceless: I can hear Mitchum covering this.
	4:36pm conkrete_dawg: still don't know why it was called a TV "set"
	4:36pm laughingacademy: Wait, he's complaining that TV rassling taught Granny how to take down a burglar? What an ungrateful jerk.
	👻 4:37pm rrg: Hey. This song isn't on the great big Stan Freberg set.
	4:38pm conkrete_dawg: linda stipe!
	4:38pm Irwin: And Linda Hopper!
	4:38pm Irwin: And David Pierce!
	👻 4:39pm rrg: Correction. That song IS on the big Stan Freberg set, except it's titled "Tele-vee-Shun" on that set.
	4:39pm Mary Wing: And Matthew Sweet!
	4:40pm Irwin: Your title is correct, rrg.
	4:40pm Irwin: Matthew Sweet wasn't on this single, but he's on the album.
	4:42pm Mary Wing: Oops, my bad. This show's great - you're on fire today, Irwin!
	4:43pm Mike East: efd!
	4:44pm Parq: The Cosmops! With 'Wild Moose Party' on the other side.
	4:44pm Irwin: EFD not on this single, joined group later.
	4:45pm Mike East: :(
	4:47pm Mary Wing: Linda Hopper was also in Magnapop, yes?
	4:50pm Irwin: Hopper in MagnaPop - yep.
	4:55pm Laura L: Nice Clientele single.
	4:58pm Irwin: Hoping we can hit 100% pledge goal by 6:00. Help support the only station in the universe that would offer 168 hours worth of vinyl singles.
	4:59pm JakeGould: Hey! 60% percent! Hubba bubba… DAMMIT! This is what happens when you play something like “Candy Pants” on your show! It’s a bad influence!
	5:00pm JakeGould: I meant 69%! The percentage was so titillating I made a mistake!
	5:03pm Caryn: @JakeGould: and there was I thinking that "Candy Pants" was so titillating that it had even managed to make a new number dirty...
	👻 5:05pm Alison Porchnik: this is depraved
	5:05pm Parq: She doesn't sound a thing like Frank Jr.
	5:05pm Mary Wing: From 1976, wow. I only knew the version by the Pale Saints.
	5:05pm conkrete_dawg: sounds more like Will Ferrell than Spandau Ballet
	5:06pm Marshall Stacks: Reminds me of one of Ken's favorites, Brown Whornet.
	5:06pm jeg: nice
	👻 5:07pm Alison Porchnik: Wally Cox yodels? One more reason to love him.
	5:07pm Caryn: hahahahaaaaahahahahaaaahahahaaaaaa gasping for air
	👻 5:07pm rrg: This sounds scratchy enough to have been in your parents' collection. But you've played this before.
	5:08pm Carmichael: Someone punched this guy in the throat.
	5:09pm ScottC: ya gotta play "Duffo"
	5:09pm ScottC: Wally Cox was Marlon Brando's best friend. Brando had his ashes...
	5:10pm Carmichael: I can't picture those 2 hanging out partying together.
	5:11pm Caryn: I like to imagine Wally singing that to Marlon when they lived together in NYC. Timelines probably don't match up, but dammit, I can dream!
	5:12pm Caryn: @Carm: Brando famously said he would've married Wally Cox if he'd been a woman.
	5:14pm JakeGould: Going back to Hackensack.
	5:16pm Carmichael: Going BACK?!?
	5:17pm Caryn: This is a case of lyrics where singing about other people clearly works, because it would be difficult to imagine the possessor of this voice making "mad passionate love" to anyone, so much better to have him sing about other people doing it.
	5:17pm Carmichael: In one scene of the Rutles documetary, there's a song called "You Need Feet" credited to Nasty's girlfriend. It sounds like this guy's voice, like exactly.
	5:18pm Parq: Caryn, as ol' Irving Berlin once noted, you'd be surprised.
	👻 5:19pm rrg: Oh, this is too wonderful for words.
	5:19pm Webhamster Henry: There are those crows .. too bad you don't have that crow call / crow shooting record.
	5:19pm Listening Out There: Guess this is not THE Atco Records, which was part of Atlantic Records, right?
	👻 5:19pm Alison Porchnik: Crows make the day extra autumnal
	5:20pm Caryn: True. On the other hand, if that voice proposed mad passionate love to me, I'd pass out from hyperventilating after laughing too much, so... Then again, after learning that the Krankies were swingers, nothing much surprises me anymore.
	5:22pm V Priceless: Wonderful Bonzos! What's the flip of this, Irwin?
	5:23pm Irwin: "Slush" on both sides. Promo 45.
	5:24pm Caryn: Part 2: Middle-aged and Bitter Crows Part 3: Elderly and Doddering Crows Part 4: Dead and Decomposing Crows
	5:24pm Irwin: LOT: the label is pictured in the playlist montage.
	5:25pm Caryn: If we some day find out this is, in fact, Andy Kaufman doing his Elvis thing again, but somewhat differently, the world would be a more interesting place. Doubt it, though.
	5:26pm Peanut: This song is wild.
	👻 5:27pm rrg: I owned this. So did you, evidently.
	5:28pm KevinfromBayRidge: We needed some Martians. Thanks for all you do, Irwin!
	5:28pm Matt F: I would swear that the martian sound effect intro on this record is the exact same one used at the beginning of "Fox On The Run" by Sweet.
	5:28pm Guido from Cologne: There is a german version of this with Indonesian group The Javalins
	5:29pm Caryn: Now I need to check Rex's space-themed premium to see if this was on it.
	5:29pm dennis diken: the great Gary Chester drums on The Martian Hop. the Ran Dels rule!
	5:30pm ?: @Caryn: It's on at least one of Dr. Demento's compilations.
	5:34pm Caryn: Cans need to be opened all the time. It's the bottle opener end that is pretty much useless nowadays.
	5:34pm Rich in Washington: there's a handy metal and woodworking tool called a 'reamer' (google with care, folks) that does the job really well. No record maintenance kit is complete without one.
	5:36pm Carmichael: I still have (and regularly use) my DiscCleaner kit.
	5:39pm P-90: @Caryn: There are many beers, imported and from small domestic breweries, that don't have screw caps.
	5:40pm Irwin: Thanks to listener/contributor Kevin of Brooklyn for getting us to the 70% mark.
	👻 5:40pm chris: with a few exceptions, i'd say the tastiness of the brew in the bottle increases with the need for a bottle opener
	5:41pm P-90: @Carmichael: You mean "DiscWasher"?
	5:42pm Caryn: @P-90: true, that's why I put the "pretty much" in there. The need for bottle openers has significantly decreased in the past decade or two, but not entirely gone away. There has not been as big a shift in the need for can openers.
	5:43pm Irwin: P-90: No, I don't mean the bottle-opener side, I mean the CAN-opener side. Who uses that anymore?
	5:43pm Carmichael: Yes, P-90, that's it. The red gun and accessories under the smoked plastic cover.
	5:43pm Irwin: Next song goes out to LAURA L.
	5:44pm Carmichael: Irwin, I use the can opener side annually, to help ease the jellied cranberry sauce from the can. Disaplaying the original can rings is key to the presentation.
	5:45pm Laura L: Yay.
	5:46pm ccrides: An exceptionally groovy show today, Irwin..!..Cheerz!!!!...:)O(:...
	5:46pm fred von helsing: Yes!
	5:48pm Irwin: Thanks to longtime listener and GREAT MUSICIAN PETE for his pledge. Only 27% from this show's goal. Please pledge NOW, nice people.
	👻 5:49pm rrg: Yeah, I'm no fan of vinyl per se, but...a great selection today. Thanks. Now get that collection digitized and throw away that non-working Liz Berg pre-owned turntable.
	5:50pm dale: a browns song that isn't the three bells? !
	5:50pm Carmichael: Turntable 2 is stoopid.
	5:51pm Marshall Stacks: Teen-Ex or Teex-ex?
	5:51pm Robert: Teaneck's young?
	5:53pm Marshall Stacks: Some of my best friends were....
	5:59pm Laura L: Fun show, Irwin, thank you!
	6:00pm Listening Out There: Good stuff. Thanks!
	6:00pm Whosondephone: The Boss and I think this was the best singles going steady Show so far!
