Kicking-off the show, "Splish Splash" - a special request
phoned in by a loyal SPMM listener on our toll-free hotline.

singing in the starring role of legendary entertainer Bobby Darin

 Another phone request just came in, and I'm gonna let
Family Guy's Brian Griffin take over the mic. Go Brian!


Hi, Folks!  Don't worry... I'm not as drunk as some thinkle peep I am.
As you might remember, I specialize in playing croon tunes and
swinging big band sounds as host of 

 BRIAN GRIFFIN'S  

 ECLECTIC AVENUE 

here on SPMM Retrosonic Radio. A caller just rang us up and requested
another featured song from the soundtrack of the 2004 Bobby Darin
docudrama Beyond The Sea, the English-language version of the
French song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet that was a
top 10 hit for Bobby in the winter of 1960.


THIS JUST IN!

 HE'S RESURFACED... 
 GREEN AROUND THE GILLS...

Hi, I'm Gillian Gracin from the Shady's Place series

 All American Girls! 

I am also the cute yoga instructor who bothers, bewitches,
bewilders and tempts the pants off of a married man
in the romantic comedy movie Life's an Itch.


 My favorite position is downward-facing dog.



You might even remember me as Kara,
the coming-of-age girl next door in
American Reunion aka American Pie 4.

The song I'd like to play was co-written
and first recorded by English singer
Sophie Ellis-Bexton. Released in late
2001, Sophie's disco ditty became a
major worldwide hit and is reported
to have been the most played
song in Europe in 2002.

more precise. This song is played in the opening scene of Gila!...
the 2012 remake of the 1959 horror flick The Giant Gila Monster.


Here's an ultra-rare clip of Canadian-American singer/songwriter Jack Scott

 SCREAM QUEENS... 
 SHADY'S LEADING LADIES. 


Another "silent DJ"... Red Devil doesn't speak.


  He simply prowls, creeps and stalks college coeds...


like these outstanding trailblazers of high and yearning, the clueless, spoiled, 


entitled, illegally blonde sisters of Kappa Kappa Tau sorority at Wallace University.  


And then... to be precise...our boy proceeds to slice and dice.

  

Turn his magic dial and make mounds of julienne fries in seconds.  


Red Devil... another Popeil dollar-stretcher!


 Like Dr. Albert Beck, Red Devil and his chainsaw are buzzing
about The Warning, those rockin' sisters from Monterrey, Mexico...


 (left to right) "Dany" on guitar and lead vocals, "Pau" on drums,
backing and lead vocals and "Ale" on bass and backing vocals. 


Along with "S!CK!"... the song Dr. Beck played, The Warning
crushed the competition with another song they wrote
and recorded for their 2024 album Keep Me Fed.  


In October, 2023, days before Halloween, the girls took rock
to the next level with a banging live performance
at the WTC's Pepsi Center in Mexico City. 


  "FIRE!" 

  raves Red Devil.  


   "An instant classic!" 

  heavy as a chevy!  

  the greatest live  

  performance of

You might remember my cameo appearance this past summer
in Shady's "Need For Speed" auto racing series.  I'm the gal
who inspired "The Bristol Stomp." (BA-DUM-BUMP)


Man! I feel like a woman... and that brings me to the song I'm
gonna play... a killer cover of Shania Twain's 1999 country
crossover hit of the same name.  It's performed by the
dynamic duo of Giulia Sirbu & Beatrice Florea, two
femme fatales from talent scout Andrei Cerbu's
Romanian band camp. Appearing together as
