Did They Really Just Play That?

A licky boom boom down the dial?

Someone carted the wrong See You Again…

What should it have been then?

At a guess?

Thanks, but that goes to show the lack of attention to detail at Hit.

Surely whoever is scheduling the music should know that Miley Cyrus isn’t R&B?

Regardless of whether it’s R&B, that song goes very hard.

U Can’t Touch This M.C. Hammer - ABC Local Radio QLD

Part of a very eclectic countdown of songs about touch. (Following song was Touch Me by The Doors).

Reminds of when Dave Gleeson did a ‘Classic 9 at 9’ on Triple M a few weeks back about songs relating to the 5 senses (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch).

Number 1 was XTC’s ‘Senses Working Overtime’.

Hit 104.7 played Coldplay’s "A Sky Full of Stars“ a few hours ago, except the station log claimed it was “Coldplay feat. Avicii - A Sky Full of Stars (Remix)”. Did they end up playing the version with an extra guitar bit added before the second verse (which is usually labelled as an “Avicii remix” on YouTube) or was it just the regular one?

On the Kat Feeney afternoon shift?

I hope she didn’t make things too complicated!

This morning, a song (WILD by Troye Sivan) on Hit 104.7 got interrupted by Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” (which had previously played before an ad break) and you could actually hear the engineer “fast-forwarding” through the song (in small intervals) before starting up “WIlD” again.

They should have just switched straight back to ‘Wild’… very odd.

At 1:50 PM, I heard “What you waiting for” by Gwen Stefani following “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt on Triple M Newcastle (and Regionals) as part of Double Shot Tuesday. I’ve heard the Regionals mostly play No Doubt’s stuff from their “Tragic Kingdom” album as they are mostly flogged, but since this it’s the regional version of Triple M, this is the first time I’ve heard them play Gwen Stefani’s solo stuff from her debut album “Love.Angel.Music.Baby.”

The other day I heard “Hyper-ballad” by Bjork blasting out of speakers in a shopping centre carpark, of all places :grin: Very unexpected.

Was it otherwise Oh So Quiet? Or was there An Army Of you?

Haven’t heard her on the radio since the early 90s, even then she didn’t get much airplay here. Her music definitely not mainstream of course.

Logan 101 introduced the next song a See My Baby Jive, a favourite of mine. However, instead, they played Good Morning (How Are You) by the Moir Sisters. Not quite in the same class! The announcer could be heard briefly over the song at one point as well; not sure what he said. :smile:

BTW that was the song the BTQ 7 opened transmission with every day back in the day.

It seems the playout was bewitched by a Wizzard.
