She-Devils On Heels!

March 24th, 2002

   Inspired by an ill-timed phone call from Ms. Flytrap we decide to do a show on dreams.  Unfortunately, most of the songs we could think of about dreams are really slow so only a few of the songs matched the theme.

    Venus gave us a complicated recipe for wine spritzers, which is: wine mixed with club soda, in whichever proportion you like.  What's more, you can make things even more complex by using 7Up or Sprite instead of soda, if you like it sweet.  This is an ideal drink for folks like me and Venus who really don't like wine very much.  Hopefully we'll get more cocktail advice from her in the future...tune in next time!

    We were unable to cajole or shame the listeners into telling us their dreams.   I blame Palm Sunday, a holiday I don't really understand but which might have side effects like preventing people from calling.  We did learn that Brian Adams is not considered to be Canadian Content, much to his chagrin and -- I bet -- considerable angst.  Since we learned this after the show finished I was unable to do a spot-on impersonation of an angry Brian Adams, or to point out that his musical interjections are notoriously bad.  I provide two examples here:

    1) During Glass Tiger's "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone," Brian Adams gives a guest contribution by screeching an out-of-place "Oh, for heaven sake!" during the chorus.

    2) The horrendous Canadian "Tears Are Not Enough" song -- part of the 80's Live Aid thing -- features Brian Adams shouting "Think of the children!  Think of the chilllll-drennnn!"  Alright Brian, I've thought of them, now shush up.

    Thanks to the people who requested, and I apologize that somebody has been eating the CKMS CD's...we'll follow the jam trail and punish the culprit.

     Song      Artist      Comments
Mambothon Jack Dangers  
The Wet Dream Lords of Acid Dedicated to Venus, who has incredible timing!
Eye 842 Whale Cia and crew, where are you?
Woodward Ave. Transglobal Underground  
A recurring dream from Venus:

A somewhat nasty dream about being handed the ashes of one of her ex's.  What could this possibly mean?  I think to really assess the goings-on inside the Head Of Venus, you need to know what happens after she gets the ashes, but apparently she just "wakes up" at that point.  Cop-out!
Box 2 Orbital An Orbital request!
How Much Reality Can You Take? Banco De Gaia  
Shanti/Ashtangi Madonna Leave it to Madonna to puree a belief system into a little pop song.

A recurring dream from Muffy:

I often dream -- at least twice a week -- that I'm in drag somewhere and I'm wearing the wrong shoes.  This weekend I dreamed that I was standing on some non-specific border in Israel.  I was wearing the wrong shoes again.  This means I am either an incredibly anxious or an incredibly trivial person.
Walk Away Alanis Morisette The early years!
I'm Not In Love Olive Dedicated to Mr. Symphony.
Makin' Love Out Of Nothing At All M-Appeal  
Mi Chico Latino Geri Halliwell The truth is revealed: we like Geri.  We really do!
Let Kiss Dana International  
Marder Ramasutra  
Mera Namn Chin Chin Chu Geeta Dutt The only song of the night that made Venus dance.

Muffy's Science Shack!

Okay girls, we all owe Ann Miller an enormous debt of gratitude:  Ann's legs were so long that M-G-M spent a fortune on her opera-length hose -- they had to be custom made, and she needed to be sewn into them, which was a terrible ordeal.  Her problems inspired Willy de Mond -- a famous Hollywood stocking designer -- to invent pantyhose when she asked him, "Why don't you make stockings and underpants all in one so I don't have to be sewn into them?"  Thanks, Ann!
Volcano Girls Veruca Salt Ms. Flytrap's ANGRY song.
Goodbye Cruel World Shakespear's Sister  
Spirit in the Sky Mark Weiser Our favourite guest artist.
Flesh Under Skin National Velvet Evangeline lets me in on a secret at The Velvet Underground: Maria Del Mar is still performing in Toronto occasionally, and "Del Mar" is not her real last name.
Shit On The Radio Nelly Furtado  
Straight From the Heart Bonnie Tyler Our mystery performer is revealed: big hair, small head, looks like a prairie dog, initials B.T. (and we're not talkin' "bottle-toke" or "Bachman Turner Overdrive")
