4 words or fewer
TONIGHT it's songs with 4 words or fewer (but more than zero), not counting spoken intros!
That will happen from 8-10, then 10-11 I'll be playing some new stuff and some songs that I thought had less words than they did, sometimes WAY less!

Commie Francis (host)
8:54:06 PM
i went through the same thing like bat macumba is just bat macumba e e bat macumba oba right?? NOPE there's a bunch of words in the beginning!
Scooter France
8:54:24 PM
The early 2000s Boston free improv duo Nmperign once recorded a cd-r of themselves playing "Salt Peanuts" like 20 times in a row because of some guy who kept yelling "play salt peanuts!" at them at some fest guy, and then they sent him the cd-r. I think it was the guy who ran Freedom From records who was heckling them. The cd-r is hilarious to listen to.
Commie Francis (host)
8:54:54 PM
that is a baller move
Commie Francis (host)
8:55:34 PM
here's the reason i decided to not count non verbal sounds haha
Commie Francis (host)
8:55:40 PM
ska sounds don't count!!
Andrew Gruen
8:56:07 PM
yeah!
Steve Courtney
8:59:33 PM
Oops. Thought you meant titles with few words. Which would not have been that hard.
Commie Francis (host)
9:01:33 PM
haha i was wondering why you requested those songs and yes that would be much much too broad
Steve Courtney
9:03:23 PM
Lovely selection.Hypnotic songs in so many different styles.
Commie Francis (host)

Commie Francis (host)
9:07:51 PM

Commie Francis (host)
9:08:09 PM
thanks Sylvia, I'm not sure if I'll have time but I'll check it out! love awb
Commie Francis (host)
9:09:23 PM

Commie Francis (host)
9:15:18 PM

Scooter France
9:15:52 PM
ah, ok!
Rob from Maryland
9:16:11 PM
Too bad Flipper's "Sex Bomb" has at least seven words in it ...
Commie Francis (host)
9:16:19 PM

Rob from Maryland
9:16:35 PM
:-(
Scooter France
9:16:47 PM
I think I've only ever listened to the live at the Whitehouse version of "Sex and Violence" that doesn't have that first line as far as I remember
Commie Francis (host)
9:17:52 PM
