Great songs heard on radio

I was in Woolworths Mornington on Wednesday and they played Something Beautiful by Robbie Williams.

That’s one of his better songs, much prefer that to hearing ā€œFeelā€ or ā€œBetter Manā€ for the bazillionth time.

Elton John- Lil ā€˜Frigerator

Triple M Sydney. Caveat: it was off a 1984 aircheck! Never knew this got any airplay. Fantastic track and played on The Conga Line.

Lemon Tree. A great tune but I have zero memory of it when it was first released in Australia in 1997

As in rare for WSFM or rare in general? Because I hear these songs played quite frequently.

I don’t hear them often anywhere. Even less likely to be played on WSFM.

It was on Hit Machine 16 which is where I first heard it. I don’t think it got a lot of airplay.

And it’s now been added to the ā€˜to play’ list on the Conga Line.

Really enjoying the WSFM Top 100 Countdowns this week.
Today was Top 100 Cover songs and heard these seldomly played classics

Living Doll - Cliff Richard & The Young Ones - 12 inch version! (well sort of, they didn’t play the spoken bits at the start and end, but they did include the spoken bit in the middle where Neil says ā€œwe’re in the middle of a 12 inch, it’s just the same as the 7 inch except you get 5 inches of nothing in the middleā€)

Way Out West - James Blundell and James Reyne

Rock And Roll Music - Mental As Anything

Beast Of Burden - Bette Midler

Harlem Shuffle - Rolling Stones

Witch Queen - Chantoozies

On the way home listening to ABC 720 Perth, I heard one song - Kids by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue.

That’s a very underrated one of his hits that sadly doesn’t get the recoginition it deserves. I mean, I like ā€œRock DJā€ and ā€œAngelsā€ as much as the next guy but throw in a ā€œMilenniumā€ or ā€œStrongā€ every once in a while.

Heard Moonlighting by Al Jarreau on 101.5 FM today. Notable as the theme to the 80’s TV show starring Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis.

Yeah Rebel play heavy metal and hard rock bands that aren’t as popular here but are huge overseas. Like I remember when I was a kid in the 80’s and early 90’s I liked a band called Ratt I had all their albums on tape but they never made much of a impact here even though they had good catchy singles and charted everywhere else.
