Heard this today perhaps for the first time but realised that the first 20 seconds were used by BTQ 7 as a Christmas ident in the 1970s. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/DDqRphxQIgE/maxresdefault.jpg "Jackson 5 - Up on The Housetop") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDqRphxQIgE) ---

Before 6pm yesterday, I heard C91.3 play “Oh Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison. That’s a song that not even WS plays anymore. ---

there are few early mornings when 91fm Saigon’s playlist would feature this song, as well as many Beatles, few Sinatra, some Aretha Franklin, Paul Anka and Motown too. On 91fm Hanoi at around the same time they also have the same block, but presented differently (the Saigon version only has voice over during the start and end of the block, while the Hanoi version have presenters telling which songs would be played next). The only thing that baffled me that while they play a lot of Sinatra, the Hanoi presenter keep referring to these songs are “soft country songs” (wtf??) ---

I had the misfortune of running into two Whitney Houston ballads in a row last night. “I Will Always Love You” was playing on Coast FM Gosford - instant station changer so I went 1 mhz down the dial and landed on Smooth and instantly ran into “Where Do Broken Hearts Go?”. Arrgh! I love her upbeat pop songs, but find most of her ballads intolerable. “The Greatest Love Of All” is an exception. ---

> [@Radiohead](#): > > I love her upbeat pop songs, but find most of her ballads intolerable. A Vietnamese lyric version of Saving all my love for you once aired during The Nostalgic Songs on 91fm. It’s very rare (there’s only one video of that on YouTube), and even softer than the original version, maybe to fit with the typical atmosphere of Vietnamese songs at that time - soft and melodic.

Can’t stand I Will Always Love You but I must admit I quite like Where Do Broken Hearts Go. And I also don’t like Great Love Of All 😀 ---

Indeed it was as the regionals took Dave Gleeson’s Top 50 Party Songs Countdown list on New Year’s Eve, another bizarre song which made the countdown was “A.L.T and the Lost Civilisations” hip hop rendition of “Tequila” which reached number 8 on the Aria charts in 1993. The number one song on the countdown was Long Way to the Top - AC/DC as always. ---
