Like Ken Clean-air-system, I wake-up around now and then go back to sleep because it's far too early. But I grab big, animated, GIF-encoded images first.

I hold your heart in my hand,
It's raining hearts in our land;
Soon you'll be wanting pickles & bananas.
I smile to think of your belly round,
For it is you that I hound,
You'll melt in my mouth, Johanna.
Turn and face me while you're young,
I'll give you lots of tongue,
And soon it'll be baby time,
A reflection of our love,
The little ones we love,
That's all you get on my dime.
Just find music for that.

Heptones - Sweet 16 or I Hold the Handle (You Hold the Blade)
PEACE All! Working from home today, live from my kitchen table using my wifes laptop. How about for a creepy love song "Too Much Pork For Just one Fork". Also, somebody did a song "That Chick's Too Young to Fry"? The Gifs are extra creepy today, especially the dancing erotic robot with dirty legs. Yuk!
Cale is doing a career retrospective show in London next month, spanning all the way back to 1964. I am going to be in London but just can't afford it. ARRRGH!

Following the good ol' WFMU tradition today is the special day when we reveal our secret love. So, cory, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! I'm sorry, Wild Neil, you don't like Barenaked Ladies so much as we do! Maybe next year?
Wait. What? WFMU doesn't celebrate this tradition? Oh-uh. Disregard what I've just said!
so funny I lol I thought as I listened quietly.. I love you ken and looked up on screen to a rightfully so Ken Love Fest ... Next. next.. Whiskey Yes .. I have had my sip or 5 today already. don't judge. :) XO NAKED DEAD hold my hand
Soul Side does a very very claustrophobic creepy version of Willie Nelson's "Crazy" on the "Soon Come Happy" album. It sounds like the singer is in a padded cell!

Mandy:
seconding Oingo Boingo "I love Little Girls" because it's also insidiously catchy
"Both my mother and Syd's mother had students as lodgers because there was a girls' college up the road so there were constantly great lines of bras and knickers on our washing lines and 'Arnold' or whoever he was, had bits off our washing lines."
DEVO: Girl You Want?
"She sings from somewhere you can't see
She sits in the top of the greenest tree
She sends out an aroma of undefined love
It drips on down in a mist from above..."
Working from home. My 7 year old has a temp of 100.1. Do you give ibuprofen at this point, or let it ride a bit higher?
Also, what is the phone number for station id?

The National Lampoon comedy troupe performed a song in the mid-70s "Old Maid (Southern California Brings Me Down)," which parodied "A Man Needs a Maid" with lyrics such as "I need someone to live with me, keep my bed warm...and sew patches on my jeans."

Kurt,
I know for a fact he Neil Young has the prequel song to the 'taking a dump" one (if that even exists). It's called T-Bone (hint: He ate so much mashed potatoes).

aw man. velveeta underwear....can’t believe i never thought of that before, considering that i hold the patent for “hamties”....panties made from prosciutto
Och, thank goodness I forget Valentine's Daze Massacares.. .. I was so wrapped up in Ash Wednesday... True actually, my son(6.5)(Madrid) just did an end to carnival dance in his school dressed as a viking...

I vote for Linda Lee. She's so leegal when she says her IDs.
hi ken, hi everyone. i heard you say earlier no romance songs are in the queue - which is too bad, as i was really hoping to hear the romantic tune "stroking" by clarence carter today.
I support your petition. Clearance Carter's 'Strokin' to pay triibute to all those people (men) spending their St Valentine Day alone in their basement.
I kind of have to wonder why Ken doesn't just look on the sleeves of the records he plays for the label info. You are 'spinning vinyl' like a proper DeeJay, right?
c'mon ken! the "felder schmelder" album gave us such hits as 'gotta get up (taking a ride), without you (taking a ride) and jump into the fire (taking a ride)'
Is 'creating high quality content on the internet' a step above or a step below 'creating unmemorable content on community access cable'? I'm trying to figure out how to score that.
saw "What Happened Miss Simone?" recently. she was a victim of physical & emotional spousal abuse. also suffered manic depression undiagnosed for decades..
@theIma - jeez now that I look, I think I am congfused. Here;s a song at Brecht but it isn't with Kramer www.youtube.com...
I swear there was something with him playing with Kramer, kramer was playing a little air keyboard... maybe from the Manhattan cable access?
or maybe I have a hole in my brain the size of a softball.
I don't know anything about the Kramer you guys keep mentioning week after week but the best Kramer band that exists is: "Kramer vs Kramer vs Godzilla". I think Irwin or People Like Us has played them before.
@Krys - thirding the Lovage suggestion.
@Ken - Understood!

Ken,
But that's because you haven't seen the Strokin's video starred by a awkwardly looking purple penis made of clay. THat's creepy on so many levels (especially level 3th)!
Die Ärzte have about 200 songs about abnormal unhealthy lovemaking, but they're all in German: Sweet Sweet Gwendoline, Geschwisterliebe, 2000 Mädchen, Omaboy, all of the Claudia-songs...
As a stroke victim myself I feel compelled to say that strokes aren't a laughing matter and can have long lasting effects. When i was young I walked in on my mother stroking my father and I haven't been able to get the image out of my head since.
βrian:
TV cops, and perhaps even real ones, use 'like' for potential collars, as in 'I like the boyfriend.'—there's always an air of 'Either they did this or at least it's credible enough that noöne will object too hard.'.
Her version of "Creep" by Radiohead was used extensively in the film The Zero Theorem (2013). Terry Gilliam, who directed the film, was unfamiliar with the original. [wikipedia]
@FOFO: Very true. And a lot of stuff made before it has aged much better, not to mention stuff made after it, made to sound older than it, that sounds better...
In our small group of students there was a woman I now realise was creep. She was unpleasant, though far from enough for 'bitch', which some of us might have said though I probably wouldn't. She egregiously wasted time in class while patently trying to curry favour with the teachers, touched us males unnannounced—shoulders and upper arms—but, I guess because of stereotyped gender rôles, we didn't have a good, single, word to describe her.
It makes me wonder if the proper term for the sitting President is 'Mean Girl' or 'Queen Bitch' (even stripped of its gay variant's connotations). Really, now I'd like to hear Charisma Carpenter re-create her first-season "Buffy…" version of Cordelia Chase reading D.T.'s tweets, to join Billy West as Zapp Brannigan doing the same.
Nice job replacing my background music MP3s Matt. Jesus.

Macel M,
haha. Yes. I undertand what you mean. A great example of this is Cromagnon's Caledonia song played few weeks ago. It sounds brand new although it was recorded back in 1969)
I remember those commercials for Extra gum where they say it lasts an extra, extra, extra long time and they show the bride and groom kissing for hours while everyone else is packing up the wedding and going home.
Can we be sure thei Felder controversy hasn't been heated up by a Russian infliuence campaign which has used bots to post both pro and anti Felder comments? Foreign influence could be tearing us apart.

Why oh why,
You haven't show us yet the Senhor Testiculo picture here, Ken!? You keep the good stuff only for you. Share the love to the good people of East Banana!
I've got Wednesdays off, Ken. If you get hoarse, I'll be happy to stop by the studio and primal scream in your place. There's probably a few other listeners who could also help out in these times of primal scream.
Not fishing but thanks all. Valentine's Day used to be a great birthday when I was younger and went to bars. Now it just means I have to buy my wife flowers and she makes ribs. Pretty good still.
@dale - funny you should mention... my toenails have started just falling off, but that's okay because I've been wearing the requisite old man birkenstocks with socks for years.

Melisa, everybody loves Senhor Testiculo. Even the Goat from the Goat Alarm fame.

Ramon vs Ramon:
Has there been any clinical studies done on how much semmin is ejaculeted on Valentine’s Day in the US? Is the department of energy collecting data on this so that it may be used to generate electricity in the American household? Iceland boasts that they use geothermal energy to produce electricity and heat but we all know what “geothermal” really means, right? Just sayin’
Get ready for Mary Wing's Wednesday Whatever marathon on the Drummer stream next. She's filling in for the Ridgewood Radio show, so she's on until 5PM.
