Chris de Burgh - Borderline, on Breeze just a moment ago

If looks could kill, they probably will
in games without frontiers, war without tears

For the longest time I couldn’t decipher what was said in the chorus. It’s ‘Jeux sans frontièrs’ which is of course 'games without frontiers/borders’in French. The song in turn takes its name from the European version of ‘It’s A Knockout’.

There’s also a bit in the song where Peter sings Whistling tunes we piss on the goons in the jungle.
This was replaced in the single with Whistling tunes we’re kissing baboons in the jungle.

KROQ Los Angeles used to play the uncensored album version (I have heard airchecks). I have never heard anything other than the G-rated single version on air in Australia.

I’m not 100% certain but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard the non G rated version on Australian radio.

Brianc68 · January 12, 2020, 10:50am

They play quite a lot of Chris de Burgh on Breeze. I’m a fan

The ‘goons’ version is now on Sumo FM. I had the single edit from the ‘Shaking The Tree’ compilation before.

It’s a wonder why ‘Adolf’ wasn’t censored as well…

Ship of Fools - World Party

Played on Triple M Melbourne today. Great tune.

House of Fun - Madness, on Triple M Melbourne right now during Kennedy Molloy. An unflogged gem, usually if it’s Madness it’s It Must Be Love.

Tane04 · January 21, 2020, 6:24am

Welcome to the House of Fun, now i’ve come of age.
Welcome to the lion’s den, temptation’s on its way.
Welcome to the House of fun.

Radiohead · January 21, 2020, 6:55am

Or “Our House”.

The Other Woman - Ray Parker Jr

Heard a short ago on Triple Ms “Rock Song Dedications”. Haven’t heard that on the radio for a while!

dxnerd · January 21, 2020, 11:23am

I suppose that blew your mind?

Laoma · January 21, 2020, 11:46am

I won 150 dollars on the i98 quickie when I guessed that song back early / mid 90s. Unfortunate name for the competition.

It was the Maroon and Milley show.

Radiohead · January 21, 2020, 11:48am

Yes, and my life was fine (until I discovered this forum!).

dxnerd · January 22, 2020, 12:03am

A truism for us all

Laoma · January 22, 2020, 10:37am

Here is a good track from 1970/71 for 2ue Eleanor Rigby by the Zoot. Just played on HHH FM.

hemi340 · January 22, 2020, 11:10pm

I could not believe my ears yesterday when Triple M CQ played this gem.
