Dr. D seems to frequently make up the Funny 5 based on what the special
feature is that week.  The Funny 5 is not actually totally based on requests.
He can put whatever he wants on there.  Sometimes he makes it sound like he
got a bunch of requests for a particular song since he announced the special
feature the week before, but actually the shows are sent to the stations
earlier than that, so that doesn't happen.  I think maybe he picks what he
thinks people would request if that did happen.  Also, he bases part of it
on listener feedback on the live Los Angeles show.

No, "Cowboy Rap" is by Jimmy Collins.  It came out in late 1990.  I think it's
unreleased, but you might be able to get copies from him.  I don't have an
address right off hand.
The other guy you metion is Shawn Brown, a/k/a The Rappin' Duke.

I need help with a word from "Moisture" by the Residents, on the
Commercial album.

Someone saw a ?????
with moisture on her lips.
It was also seen upon her arms and on her hips.

No one knows exactly who she was or how she died,
But when they opened up her purse, they found a snail inside.

For some stupid reason, it has now become the theme of the game Dr. Mario

I first heard this song when I was about 5 on an old Chipmunks album.

According to Ross Bagdasarian, Jr., the Ross, Sr. was trying to decide on a
name for the Chipmunks and was considering diferent animals and "he was
driving along the road - and this is a true story - when this chipmunk
almost dared him and his huge car to drive past. My dad was so impressed
by this audatious behaviour that he decided to make the three singing
characters chimunks." 
(preceding info and quote are from an article in Goldmine)

>This is from a song called the Witchdoctor.  It was released in 
>December 1958 by Ross Bagdasarian (sp?) (aka David Seville).  It was his
>first record.

Close but no cigar.
It was not his first record.  It was his first record using the technique
he used for the Chipmunks.  Witchdoctor was not credited as the Chipmunks-
that name was created for his later work.  (Although the song was reissued
or rerecorded as the Chipmunks.)  It was followed by the "Chipmunk Song"
and "Alvin's harmonica"  (The flip sides of these were not Chipmunks songs,
They are "Almost Good" and "Mediocre" respectively.  A
piano plays a tune and Bagasarian makes the comment "Almost Good" every
once in a while in the former and the latter has him saying "that's er...
Really, that.........(ending with)that's mediocre, I can't publish that.")

His first published song was "Come On-A My House" recorded by Rosemary
Clooney.

There is an album called "The Mixed up World of Bagdasarian" Liberty LRP-3451
1966

There is a 78 (also on 45) called "The Trouble with Harry" by Bagdasarian
credited to Alfi and Harry.  It is a singer argueing with his piano player
who will only play one tune (similar to the Fools "She makes me Feel Big")
The song is "inspired" by Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Trouble With Harry"
(the only reference to the movie is the title and credits)

He also wrote a song called "I wish I was a Car" sung by Mary healy and Peter
Hayes on a 78.  Where the girl wishes she was a car so her boyfriend would
pay attention to her.

Do any of you insiders know if the good doctor has started distributing
on CD?  Several weeks ago, near the end of the show I heard the telltale
"da-da-da-da-da-da" of a stuck cd -- I've heard skipping records on the
show, in the distant past, but this was a bit of a surprise.  Caught the
DJ with his pants down too - as I recall there was a few moments of silence
then off into a commercial, and then on to the next show -- completely 
skipping the closing theme, etc.

I sure haven't see anything about her on this group.  I know...
too mainstream or pop.  Not exactly the kind of music that's popular here.  Maybe there are one or two other fans around

I'll defy the odds again and ask if anyone knows about any

Thanks a lot,

  If you really like guitars, and want Steve Taylor, too, then you
should check out "You've Been Bought" off of "On the Fritz."  It
sounds very different from the other stuff on the album, but it might
be what you're looking for.  Very biting lyrics about faux angry young

while BETRAYAL & DETRITUS & HOSTILITY is a new death metal band who will have a

with the cross while VENGEANCE RISING's "Crematorium of the Deceased" vies with
PRECIOUS DEATH is working on "Our Stinkin' Demo"  .... I am having a bit of trouble
putting my finger on it, but there seems to be a theme here :-)

Hmmmm, well I was sure hoping for a review of NY Eve at Street Cry/Witness Ministry's
mucho band lineup!  I understand there was a celebrity there with a bandanna round
his head and camera round his neck, named Phil Powell (any of ya'll know him :-)

In the near future at Street Cry is Nia, she is a recording artist from
England.  This is Fredericksburg VA SAT JAN 31.  FEB 5 Lisa Lyons, a serious
death medal threat (NOT!) will be performing for witness ministry.  Yes of
course you can crash at our house if you drive from far away to hear these
folk (or just feel tired).

Also, I understand there is some news to be announced about Bender's

I suggest Tourniquet's PsychoSurgery album (predictably). I think the

typed the lyrics into their computers and started emailing them around, 
and these guys have never even heard heavy metal, much less like it..

I may be totally losing it, but I seem to recall that it was on Don
MacLean's _American Pie_.  As I remember it, that's all there was to
the song, though I think it was done as a round, with very limited
accompaniment.  (Sitar, maybe, or banjo...some kind of less-common,

I haven't seen any of his concerts, but I do have his "Make Us One" CD.
It's grown on me, too.  He's an excellent trumpet player, but he 
doesn't sing real well, IMHO.  Kinda like Bob Dylan :).  I was impressed
by his ministry statement on the liner notes.  He's really pushing for
unity within the body of Christ - novel idea, I think.  If you like good
trumpet playing, his stuff is definitely good.  If you're just looking
for good singers, you can find much better ones elsewhere.  Overall, I'd
give him 1.5 thumbs up :).

I just talked with Dan Russell on the phone. He informed that there will

a studio record with the artists that were going to be in the concert.
They will be performing covers of songs written by Mark Heard. 

He could not provide me with the date the album would be available, but
he gave me an address where I could write and ask for more information.
