Heard ‘The Other Woman’ - Ray Parker Jr. on 101.5FM M. Bay. (Live & local show tonight)

A bit daggy, but worth a mention anyway, considering the only other song of his played is the theme to Ghostbusters (and even that isn’t played all that much anymore)

I also heard this on Friday played on The Rock (Auckland), would have been in the 1-2 hour over there as it was sometime after 10:30 in Qld.

An example of why Rebel is the MediaSpy nerd’s favourite radio station. That track sounds fantastic on air yet nobody else plays it.

Matt Finish/Matt Moffitt is also a MS nerd’s wet dream :slight_smile:

Heard another one today. The Saints - The Music Goes Round My Head. Was trying to be heard while Triple M Mt Gambier was swamping it via E-skip. I know that song is another favourite of some here

Was that on Zinc96?

Oops, sorry. No, Rebel 90.5 which co-channels with the new FM conversion of 5SE (Triple M) Mt Gambier.

Triple M were playing something far more pedestrian - Handle with Care by the Travelling Wilburys - so for once I didn’t want the DX signal to win out.

Oh yes, of course! I got 5SE and 5SEF mixed up for a minute.

On Nova 937, they played a good song I Don’t Feel Like Dancing by Scissor Sisters. Such a fantastic upbeat.
As well they also played a good song — Teenage Dirtbag on the Noughties playlist on nova.

Heard “Hot Chilli Woman” from Noiseworks on Triple M 102.9 Newcastle via the Regionals Summer 600 Countdown. From Noiseworks’ last album from 1991 Love Versus Money before their 2022 comeback album Evolution.

This one belongs in the “Oh No ,Not that Song Again “ thread for me ,I heard it way too often,I prefer, “Take Your Mama” to this one

I agree, Take Your Mama would have to be their best.

Sartorial Eloquence / Elton John now on Breeze. That would have to be one of my favourite Elton songs actually.

Heard this on CW Remix DAB Sydney a short while ago

Cry - Lisa Edwards

It was a cover of the Godley & Creme song and released in 1992 by the Adelaide singer.

Got a fair bit of airplay back then but have not heard it on the radio since!
