Every town is always the wildest...except Springfield, that really is.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You know who doesn't rock? Those losers over in (checks card) Shelbyville. They don't know how to rock in Shelbyville!

I don't know what my obsession with the use of the word "funk" in the title of threads is, either.
Do you have Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome? If not I must get you a copy.
Newsradio is totally on-topic for the Music thread
Completely. In addition to Zep they used "Shaft" twice (Complaint Box and the one with the Big Bonus and the Shaft). Jimmy's campaign theme song was "Life's Been Good". "Slow Ride" brought him out of his coma. He was named after the Beastie Boys tune. "Horse with No Name" was a recurring joke, too. I don't know if they just thought it was funny, or if Dave really dug it and they thought that was funny, or if it was an inside joke (Phil Hartman did the cover for America's greatest hits.) Vicki Lewis had primarily done musical theater pre-Newsradio. And of course there was Chock. We're gettin' the band back together!

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Chock Full O' Notes!
I had forgotten that Jimmy James is the only major character in television history to be named after a Beastie Boys song.
And of course Phil Hartman played the piano on multiple episodes, including the one where he tries to become a Mark Russell-type musical political commentator, and the talent show episode, one of my favorites ("The Great Throwdini!"), in which he and Vicki Lewis sing "Makin' Whoopee."
And no, I do not have that, and would love a copy!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
"Wichita Lineman": sucks or love it?

Love it, but somewhat ironically.

And he belts Steve (Andrea the efficiency expert's boss? righthand man? lackey?) in the mouth! And you know how I love people getting whacked in the head! In one of the commentaries Joe Rogan says that Lauren Graham was his favorite guest star & everyone agrees with him. The Andrea episodes were so good. I love how she became completely insane over the course of four episodes: "Let's just say you're not the only one in this room who's committed a felony."

Ann, that's a ferret.

Fine blue-collar meditation. But IMO, that was the era where Glen Campbell did no wrong.

For me, there is nothing but love for Jimmy Webb songs.
Except "MacArthur Park."

And Newsradio utterly ruled. Wish I'd watched it more.
I'm bored again (and posting once more). Here's my afternoon timekiller: A Hurricane Katrina mix.
- "When The Levee Breaks"
- "New Orleans Is Sinking"
- "Louisiana 1927"
- "Like A Hurricane"
- "Here Comes The Flood"
- "Lakes of Ponchatrain"
That's as far as I've gotten. They're pretty obvious.
