Welcome to another addition of this wacky blog.
Today, we focus on the last ten songs we heard on 98.7-Simon FM (Greensboro, NC), which can now be heard all over the globe thanks to streaming but we imagine less than one percent of the station's listenership comes from Bergen, Norway!
Speaking of nations from Scandinavia, two songs which almost came up consecutively were from Swedish bands (sorry, not Roxette!), which makes us wonder if the computer which designates which songs to play is aware that the radio station played two songs from Swedish pop bands with Eric Clapton (pict. center) in between.
Here are the last ten songs from the 4:00-5:00 p.m. hour on Mon., Feb. 16th, 2015:
1) Some Like It Hot. Power Station. 1985. (The song was actually released on March 4, 1985, my 15th birthday!)
2) Smooth Criminal. Michael Jackson. 1988.
3) Sweet Emotion. Aerosmith. 1975 (we can't stand this band, actually)
4) The Sign. Ace of Base (pict. top, one of the Swedish bands)
5) Cocaine. Eric Clapton. 1977 (we learned while researching this, that J.J Cale of Velvet Underground originally performed this song)
6) Take a Chance on Me. Abba. 1978 (the other Swedish band)
7) Under the Bridge. Red Hot Chili Peppers. 1992.
8) Respect. Aretha Franklin. 1965 (pict. bottom)
9) Talking in Your Sleep. The Romantics. 1983
10) When I See You Smile. Bad English (w/John Waite) 1989.
