Did They Really Just Play That?

Nights With Dave Gleeson on Triple M Nationwide playing Bee Gees “Stayin’ Alive” on the Classic Nine at 9 as tonight’s theme was “Family Affairs” (Bands with family members) one of the bizarre choices Gleeso has picked although there was one time he played Foo Fighters’ Cover of “You Should be Dancing” a few years ago since he stated that “We don’t play the Bee Gees here.”

They do realise the river in the song is the Brisbane and not the Yarra, right?

To be fair, that song would also be played on 4BH in Brisbane (on an hour delay at this time of year), given that they now share the same playlist with Magic 1278 & 2UE.

Thanks- wasn’t sure if they still shared a (f)log or not.

On 2NUR FM Newcastle just about a few minutes ago, I heard two songs with the word “Together” in the title.

Icehouse - We Can Get Together and Promises - Let’s Get Back Together.

Not the first time they did that today.

Love it! Much more interesting than the usual ‘Two Artists in a Row’. It reminds me of ‘Same Title, Different Song’, which happened occasionally on Max on Foxtel.

Nothing negative about this, but on Seven’s coverage of the WBBL final, just after the trophy presentation they played “High Five” by Sigrid.

Gold 101.7 / 104.3 played Miley Cyrus “Flowers” yesterday morning.

By the start of next year the song will be three years old.

At some point in the last twelve months (can’t remember exactly when), I heard “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi on the station.

Double - Captain of her heart.

Stereo 10 - just now.

Yeah sure, no great surprise in this day and age. But still good to hear. It wasn’t even way past midnight and they still played it, not only for a cruise, not only for a day…

Beat It - Michael Jackson

On Triple M Sydney as part of “Dave Gleesons NYE Party Playlist”.

The regionals are taking this too, which might explain that to a degree, but still….

The surprise is that it probably could have been on earlier….

I have heard Beat It by Michael Jackson on Triple M Sydney a few times on “Nights with Dave Gleeson” and on their countdowns, but the regionals play a majority of MJ’s discography other than beat it.

Forever Young - Youth Group

Heard tonight on ‘Hit Music’ Eagle FM Goulburn. Never knew them to play 80s songs.. was always more 00s to now from what I’ve heard of them in the past.
