Definitely reminds me of a song I've heard on RP but can't fully remember. The muppets wrote this one, I think, when they'd smoked too much dope.

Ear-breaking under most circumstances.

Just sent my monthly donation, but I hope Bill & Rebecca don't correlate support with what's being played currently because this preceding set is not one of my favorites — in fact if I never heard it again, I wouldn't miss it. That's rare here.

The Muppet comments are funny. Van Morrison's Blue money (played just before this today and, based on comments below, often) always reminds of a song from Sesame Street (i still love it though). Apparently Bill feels some connection between the two songs and we've all picked up on it as a Muppet (Rainbow?) connection.

{#Lol}  I was just coming here to say the same thing. But which muppet does he sound like? WHICH MUPPET?!!?

(Also? Pork Tornado sounds like a vegetarian's worst nightmare. Could I just get the Soybean Tsunami instead, please? With the sweet potato fries? Thanks!)

Miriam Makeba - Pata Pata —> Pork Tornado - Guabi Guabi —> Cake - Mahna Mahna

Maybe just run it in a loop on Election Day... {#Lol}

Oh wow, Pata Pata followed by Guabi Guabi.  Now there's a transition between two crappy songs that hasn't been done a thousand times on this station.

At least when the first one comes on, I know to just leave RP muted for the next song too.

Actually, since Toad the Wet Sprocket is a reference to an old Monty Python skit, I can't faithfully say it's a bad name. Archers of Loaf is pretty bad though. handyrae wrote:

It is a photographic achievement in that no one is currently squeezing the pig to get this designed effect. Somewhere an engineer is proud of the work done on this mass produced key chain novelty. Yes, I bought one in the checkout line at the gas station.

The thought was just striking me at that moment that there's probably some people that don't understand Zulu. And you know, a song of this importance should be understood, like all folksongs. . . .

I know everyone's trying to be objective, and I really appreciate that. In an attempt to be objective myself, I must declare my favor for British electro-pop and a preference for world music in a minor key. Ergo, this really sucks.

I remdember Arlo Guthrie recording and performing this song back in the late 90's. I assumed it was just Arlo being strange, didn't know it was actually a Zulu folksong. I liked the tune back then and it's nice to hear it again, but it's not the kind of thing you want to hear too often.
