* “I don't know this song nearly as well as I should, but I guess that'll make it an adventure for all of us."

* “I think I can actually do this one. I didn’t think I could. It’s been sitting up on the board the whole show and I was like I’m never gonna be able to do that. I was like man I can’t go for that, no can do. I can’t go for that, no can do. No, I can’t go for that. Can’t go for that. I can’t go for Hall and Oates…”

This is a great song even without the lyrics; I’m gonna prove it… // (sung to the tune of Daniel): // Elton John is watching our show // He is on a lunch break just like every average Joe // And Elton is eating ham and cheese // and he is having potato chips with it // But he calls them crisps because he’s British // Elton your sandwich, it is tasting very good // do you still want something to drink // Maybe some lemonade to wash it down…da da da // Elton you’re so cool, having lunch while you’re watching Facebook live // Elton, we love you so much…

* “I’ve been avoiding this one. It’s been has been requested pretty much every Tuesday in the six weeks we’ve been going. I keep avoiding it because I don’t know it. But it’s time to not be afraid of not knowing it and just plow through anyway. Maybe I’ll make a fool of myself…

* “Guys, I’m rambling.”
* “Don’t get me started on this musical, though. I’m not a real big fan of it. It’s because I’m a Quixote purist. You know what it’s like, right, to be a Quixote purist?
* “This song is in 9/8. Why? Just to piss me off.”
* “Sing along…I don’t know very much of it.”
* “Not looking at the chat. Just kidding, I’m looking.”
* “That was actually better than I thought it was gonna be, and it wasn’t even that good.”
* “I don’t think I can mash these up because the tempos are too disparate, but I’ll give it a try. You never know.”
* “This is foolish, but I’m gonna try it.”
* “This one I do know. Which of course, by saying it, I jinxed it. But that’s OK, we’ll live. There’s bigger worries in the world than whether or not I jinx.”
* “Talk about roller-skating … holy moly. We weren’t talking about roller-skating, but this song makes me think about roller-skating, which makes me talk about roller-skating.”
* “Guys, when a request comes in from someone who is on top of the organ, it gets played. If at all possible.”
* “How’re we doing on time? Not good.”
* “Too slow and too low…let’s do it up here. That’s better.”
* “I really, really want to play it because know it’s gonna make a lot of people happy. Prepare to be disappointed. Or prepare to be, like, excited that it’s finally getting played and then be disappointed. I feel like it might be a little anti-climactic at this point. But maybe not, maybe it’ll be super cool. Let’s find out, all of us together.”
* “Do a couple repeats and then get the hell out of here.”
* “I have played Wham! and I love Wham!, but there’s only so many times you can go to the Wham! well, you know what I mean? That sounds like something Elmer Fudd would say — ‘Be very, very quiet, I’m hunting Wham! wells.’”

* “I have a vision.” (RPM)
* “I’m not gonna disparage this song because it’s a sentimental thing for Stacy. I often disparage Stacy’s musical tastes. I revere a lot of her musical tastes, and then I disparage others. This is one I would ordinarily disparage but not today; I’m feeling like a softie today.”
* “Definitely the first time in my entire life that I just gratuitously started playing all sorts of ridiculous notes. I just forgot we were having a show … because it’s not showing off if you think no one’s watching, which is what I thought was happening. But maybe subconsciously I was showing off, which is embarrassing. Guys, I apologize for that.” (on playing a psychedelic solo during Hotel California)

* “I’m gonna have to fake it a little bit. Maybe more than a little bit.”

* “‘Closing time…I just bought a house and I can’t afford the mortgage.’ [sung to tune of Closing Time] Is that a little too dark?” (on request by Ralph S., after he just closed on a house)
* “I’m playing a lot at the ballgames, but I’m not taking requests for the first time in ages. It’s a weird feeling to be like, ‘Wait, I get to pick the song? And I can pick one I like?

* “I've heard this song a million times. I don't know how to play it, though.”
* “Against my better judgement is kind of normal for me, even when we're not in a pandemic. So why change that?”
* “Extra innings again...what a shocker.”
* “I like the idea that the organ can be used to play any of these ridiculous songs that you guys are requesting, not just ones that were written specifically for organ.”
* “That song is on the short list of popular songs that modulate three half-steps, which is very unusual. It starts here, then It’s in a different key and then it goes back down to the original key later. It’s a good trick when it works. Usually when it’s used it’s not in a song that’s popular because there’s often something kind of strange about it , but there’s a few songs that make it sound smooth and like it really should be that way. That’s one of them. O-o-h Child is another one.” [on Hungry Heart]
* “Mary loves this song…so I’m gonna start playing it and she’s gonna, like, swoon and I’m gonna have to try to not get distracted by the swoon. She has a very distracting swoon, you guys — for me, anyway.” [on Papa Was A Rodeo]

## Quotes and Taglines:

* “He loved Air Supply, and I loved that about him so much because it’s an easy thing to tease someone about is that they love Air Supply. If you know me, you know that I … tease people about the music they like sometimes. I try to do it as gently and non-judgmentally as possible, but I enjoy the tease. And he just loved them.” (on deciding to open with an Air Supply song for his friend Mike Shalin, who recently passed away)
* “When we were offline for a few minutes there, (our secret surprise special guest) was actually fixing our glitches for us, that’s how good she is.” (on SSSG Rachel Lichtman)

	+ **Josh:** Did Karin T. just submit this request (for M.T.A.)?
	+ **Mary:** She did.
	+ **Josh:** A hundred and 22 minutes into a nine-minute show?
	+ **Mary:** Yeah. She believes in us, Josh.
	+ **Josh:** Did she say why? Is there a reason for this?
	+ **Mary:** Yes, but I don’t want to tell you. It’s going to…
	+ **Josh:** It’s going to anger me? It’s gonna make me not want to play it?
	+ **Mary:** It’s gonna make you not want to play it, which is why I didn’t write it down. But now I’m gonna tell you. It’s because it’s Episode T.
	+ **Josh:** Today? And her name is Karin T.?
	+ **Mary:** The letter T is an important part of the request.
	+ **Josh:** The letter T is in the request?
	+ **Mary (laughing):** Yes, correct. My job is to write them down, Josh. You get to decide what you want to do with them.
	+ **Josh:** There’s no Karin T. that I’m gonna play this song (hehehe). I’ll play it, fine.

## Quotes and Taglines:

* (RPM) “We talked about making an adjustment (to Appendix F), and I said ‘F that.’” (followed by a fanfare)
* “There’s literally more people watching this live stream than there were in Fenway Park yesterday, and that is not an exaggeration.”
* “Remember (last week Kay Hanley) was wearing a Barry Manilow T-shirt; it said Manilow? … I imagine she probably is (a Manilow fan). You know, she’s a songwriter, he’s a songwriter. He’s a well-known, well-respected songwriter; he’s got a lot of great songs. And then I was like, ‘Oh, I should I play a Barry Manilow song for Kay Hanley because she would totally love that.’ But then I played one of her songs and so I was like, ‘She’s satiated, she’s placated, she’s content.’ I don’t have to try to think of a Barry Manilow song, but then after the show of course I thought of one, so here’s the Barry Manilow song I wanted to play for Kay Hanley, whom I love…”

 Kay Hanley

* “Most people, I think, who watch our live stream like Billy Joel and I think most people who come to Fenway like Billy Joel and I’m foolish enough to take requests in both of those areas so I get a lot of requests for him. I tell people, I’m like, ‘I’ll play it, but you have to pay a tax on me playing it, which is that I get to make fun of him.’” (from Facetime interview with Rhett Miller)

* 7IS Theme Song (sung by Josh and Mary, to the tune of the theme from All In The Family, aka Those Were The Days): Boy, the way Josh Kantor plays // He’s been going eighty-nine days // Sometimes it feels like one big haze // These are our days // And when we don’t know just how // To cope with what life allows // We can look to leaders // just like William Barber now // Even when our heads aren’t clear // Even when our friends aren’t near // We still have a respite here // These are our days
* “I’m not so much of Fibonacci guy, I admit. If you want to judge me for that, I guess I’m OK with that.”
* “Because consarn it, we care.”
* “This one’s gonna be a struggle, you guys. I should not be opening with this. But that’s how chatstraction works. I’m highly suggestible. I see the word Hawaii or Mary says the word Hawaii and I’m off to the races. I’m not off to the races … I don’t know what I’m off to.”
* “Didn’t have time to practice. Also don’t enjoy practicing.”
* “Why do I keep picking the ones I don’t really know?”
* “I’ve never played this song before in my whole life. I’ve never practiced it; I’ve never tried to play it. It could be a disaster. But my brain is telling me it’s not that complicated.” (on the theme from The Monkees)
* “I was looking at this list just now and I was like, ‘Man, we’ve got a lot of TV themes on this list. That’s weird.’ Honest to God, that was the thought that was in my head just now.”
* “I’m having a blast. I’m still terrified, but I’m having a blast.”
* “I still haven’t learned it, but it’s time for me to attempt to fake my way through it.”
* “Everybody get your Joe Cocker impression voices ready...”
* “I’m gonna say I’m glad I don’t know that one.” (on Mary singing the chorus to the theme from Adventures of the Gummi Bears)

* “I’m smelting additional Emmys over here, guys.” (RPM)

## Quotes and Taglines:

* "I might have to retract on the whole, like, 'We're being liberal about (giving fanfares for vaccines),' 'cause we were getting almost none, so I was like, 'I'm gonna open up the floodgates,' but now it's flooding."
* "This is a cover, but they really kind of made it their own. I guess I keep saying that about all of them, right? … We're doing Waco Brothers songs today — and covers done brilliantly by Waco Brothers, both live and recorded."
* "I might regret this, but you know what, I might not. There's only one way to find out." (on White Lightning by Waco Brothers)
* "John in England saying (in the chat), 'It's been a while since we've had a really good mashup,' and that is still the case because that was not a really good mashup. Sorry, John in England." (on attempted mashup of Big River by Johnny Cash and Red Brick Wall by Waco Brothers)
* "Many of you, if you're in the Boston area, you'll already know about the Winter Walk. This is something that happens every winter. It's a winter walk." (on Winter Walk event to raise money for homelessness services in Boston)
* "That was, like, velocitation. I was playing that Stevie Wonder too fast, so then when it came to playing the fast song, to me it felt slow. I was like, 'Why is this song so slow? Why am I not struggling to play this one like I normally do?'
* "I think they call that velocitation. Like when you're driving 65 on the highway and then you pull off and you're on the local road and you're going 30 but it feels like you're going 10." (on playing Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder immediately followed by Hocus Pocus by Focus)
* "Thanks for being part of our respite. Hope you got something good out of it. I figure you probably did if you're here — especially if you're still here."
* "Sometimes the imperfections make it even perfecter, if that makes sense. That's the beauty of music sometimes, especially with those guys. They are the masters of, like, using imperfections as enhancements." (on Walking On Hell's Roof Looking At The Flowers by Waco Brothers being a perfect song, even if not always played perfectly)
