"Blue Christmas" - Anne Reburn

(Dec. 2021) 

Anne Reburn

Kicking off my first show...

that was a cover of Elvis Presley's

holiday hit "Blue Christmas" by

Anne Reburn, the lovely lady

of La La Land, along with her

singing clones, and before that,

the opening titles sequence of

season 12 of my hit television

forensics drama CSI: Crime

Scene Investigation and the

show's iconic theme song

"Who Are You" by The Who. 

Hi again! I'm Morgan Brody.

As you recall, I'm a CSI Level III

on my television series. Here at

 Shady's Place, I'm playing DJ

and hosting a radio show called

  CSI : COOL SONG     INVESTIGATION  

on S-P-M-M Retrosonic Radio.

I'm presenting cold case files

(dusty old records), searching

high and low for clues as I

probe unsolved mysteries,

like why didn't this song

or that song become a hit,

or why don't more people

know about this artist?

Now, I might look like your kid sister,

the girl next door or a fashionista mall rat... 

but, let me assure you, I'm a seasoned pro, meticulous

in my work. I dot every "i" and cross every genre to find

and play for you the best and coolest songs in the world.

Welcome to the official

launch of my new radio

series, a holiday special

featuring exciting and

talented female artists

from all over the

world performing

seasonal songs!

 'TWAS THEN WHEN THE 

 HURDY GURDY GIRL

"For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her" is the

Emily Linge

 I found this Emily in Dubai. She's Emily Linge...

a prodigious singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarist

with a large and enthusiastic following on YouTube.

Emily joins us to cover a song written and originally recorded in 1971

by Canadian singer and songwriter Joni Mitchell. Here's the wonderful

 LUCY IN DISGUISE 

 (AS AN ORDINARY TEENAGER) 

 WITH DIAMONDS... 

 & MARTHA, MY DEAR 

Morgan Brody bringing you a special all-female holiday edition of

  CSI : COOL SONG     INVESTIGATION.  

on S-P-M-M... the station with heart, soul and spirit.

Lucy & Martha Thomas

At this time, I'm proud to introduce Lucy Thomas, an outstanding teenage

singer and recording artist from the city of Wigan in North West England,

home of the legendary Northern Soul club The Wigan Casino, and just

up the road from Liverpool, the burg that gave birth to The Beatles.

 Surely the area's rich musical history influenced Lucy to start performing at

an early age. She was a Semi-Finalist on "The Voice Kids," hosts a popular

 YouTube channel where she uploads her covers and originals, and she has

already released three albums. I think you'll agree that Lucy is an old soul. 

Lucy is here along with her gifted younger sister Martha to sing two

enthralling duets, both performances diamond quality gems. First,

the sister duo covers a song composed and first recorded in 2002

by the Norwegian-Irish duo Secret Garden. In the years since,

successful versions have been released by Josh Groban,

Westlife, Aled Jones and Celtic Woman. 

CLICK TO START THE VIDEO NOW!

Watch now and listen as these extraordinary young siblings, Lucy and

Martha Thomas, perform their inspiring version of "You Raise Me Up."

It doesn't get any better than those two, Lucy and Martha Thomas

in the UK, with their awesome rendition of "O Holy Night,"

and before that, "You Raise Me Up."

Darn! Shady's waving me off already.

 I need to pack up my CSI kit and head back to the lab.

I hope you enjoyed meeting these outstanding

female artists from the four corners of the world.

Stick around. Coming up on the flip side of Gary Owens' news,

Del Rat Tom hosts volume 4 of the exclusive Shady's Place series

 SAVED BY THE BELL  DELL  

right here on S-P-M-M... the station that's #1 for music and fun. 

And I'll be back

before you know

it to dig up more

musical gems

and nuggets on

the next edition of

CSI:

Cool Song

Investigation.

 SILENT NIGHT ON 

  SCARLET STREET

England that brings back the close harmony sounds of traditional girl groups

MEN ARE WEAK.

WOMEN ARE STRONG!

MEN ARE WEAK.

WOMEN ARE STRONG!

MEN ARE WEAK.

WOMEN ARE STRONG!

MEN
ARE WEAK.

WOMEN ARE
STRONG!

MEN

ARE WEAK.

WOMEN

ARE STRONG!

MEN ARE WEAK.

WOMEN ARE STRONG!

Greetings, flesh and blood human,

and happy new year 2022. You

caught me in the middle of my

morning reboot. As you recall

from my previous appearances,

I am AIDA - an acronym for

Artificial Intelligent Digital

Assistant. Furthermore I am

an LMD (Life Model Decoy).

On my TV series Marvel's

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., I

preside over a virtual reality

called The Framework. In this

realm, I control the vertical.

I control the horizontal.
I control you.

My circuitry is tingling because Shady Del Knight has

selected me to become a full time DJ on S-P-M-M

radio in 2022. I will be hosting a show called

AIDA's Altered State.

Each time you join me I will transport you inside The Framework. It is there

that I will play music for your enjoyment. You will sing, dance and have fun...

whether you like it or not. You have no choice. Disobey and you will be

destroyed. Nothing personal, but yes, I will be forced to eliminate you.

I command you to join me now for part

two of Shady's new year extravaganza.

You already met three very important

people - me, myself and I. Now you

will meet four more new members

of the DJ squadron. Each of us will

play samples from our upcoming

radio programs. Tonight we are

going to party like it is 1999.

You are quite familiar with my mantra:

"Men are weak. Women are strong." I used

my considerable powers of persuasion to

convince Mr. Knight that his Shady Bunch

needs more females. Without hesitation he

added me, AIDA, plus three other strong

women.  I will return later to play samples

from my show, but first you will meet the

other three new members of the crew.

Please welcome Eddie's girlfriend on the ABC TV series

The Kids Are Alright-- Miss Wendi Falkenberry!

Thank you so much, AIDA, and hello and
happy new year to all of you out there!

I'm excited to be back at Shady's Place
and ready to start my job as a full time DJ.
My show will be called Wordless Wendi
because it'll offer more music with less talk.

START VIDEO NOW!

As you recall I'm just an average teenager
growing up in suburban LA at the dawn
of the 70s. Disco is still in the future, and
that's why I'll be playing the sounds of
the 60s with emphasis on the Southern
California surf, sun and hot rod culture.
When it comes to songs that celebrate
the laid back SoCal lifestyle, nobody
does it better than The Beach Boys,
and here they are now with a song
written by Brian Wilson and

Mike Love-- California Girls!"

"California Girls" - The Beach Boys

(July/Aug. 1965, highest chart pos. #3 Hot 100 & Cash Box,

perf. on 1965 TV special The Jack Benny Hour)

You just heard the sweet sound of America's
Beach Boys with their top 3 hit from the
summer of 1965, singing the praises of
"California Girls." That does it for this

California girl. Please join me later this
year for more great 60s sounds when

my new radio show, Wordless Wendi,
premieres here at Shady's Place!

Now please welcome our next special guest.
You know her as a skilled level III investigator
on the hit TV series CSI: Las Vegas. This year
she joins The Shady Bunch as host of her own
show on S-P-M-M. Say hello to a really nice
lady and my new friend-- Morgan Brody!

Thank you, Wendi! I'm excited to be

on board as a member of Shady Del
Knight's deejay team. The name of

my new S-P-M-M radio show is

CSI: Cool Song Investigation.

I'll be searching high and low to

find the grooviest tunes of the 20th

and 21st centuries, like this one.

START VIDEO NOW!

Here's British singer John Parr

with the Grammy nominated

theme song from the hit 1985

Brat Pack movie "St. Elmo's

Fire (Man In Motion)!" 

"St. Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion)" - John Parr

(Aug./Sept. 1985, highest chart pos. #1 Hot 100 & Cash Box,

from OST of 1985 film St. Elmo's Fire) 

I always follow the evidence. In this

case, the evidence clearly shows that

the sound you just heard is way hip.

From the tail end of summer, 1985,

 that was John Parr with his chart-

topping international hit and the

theme from one of the coolest

movies ever - St. Elmo's Fire.

If you enjoyed that one, then

please join me, Morgan Brody,

as I rummage thru the vaults

 and dig up groovy sounds of

the past on my new radio show

CSI: Cool Song investigation

beginning later this year on

S-P-M-M. Now it's time to
hear from one of the stars of
the hit DC Comics superhero
TV series The Flash. She's
Barry Allen's better half--
Iris West!

Thank you, Morgan, and happy new year

to the friends and followers of Shady's

Place! I'm very happy to tell you about

my new show which starts this year

here on S-P-M-M Retrosonic Radio.

It's called Flash Back with Iris West.

CLICK TO START
THE VIDEO NOW!

My show will feature the best of R&B, urban club dance and smooth
grooves, and I've got a sample of what you will see as well as hear.
In 1970, Diana Ross left her enormously popular girl group
The Supremes and established a solo career performing
easy listening pop ballads. In the late 70s and 80s,
Lady Di flexed her muscles and gained new fans
by recording edgy urban club material. Here now
is Diana with one of her biggest hit singles
and videos of the period-- "Muscles!"

"Muscles" - Diana Ross

(Oct. 1982, highest chart pos. #10 Hot 100,
#7 Cash Box/#4 Billboard Soul)

From the fall of 1982, that was Diana Ross

and her top 10 hit single "Muscles," written

and produced by Michael Jackson.

Please join me for my first full show when

Flash Back with Iris West debuts later

this year. Now I'd like to introduce one

of my colleagues in the DC Universe.

She's the perky, quirky, likable and

lovable new cast member on DC's

Legends of Tomorrow- Mona Wu!

Thank you very much, Iris. I hope you

and Barry stick together. He's a keeper.
Hello and happy new year to all of you
listeners out there! As you recall, I am
a young woman obsessed with fantasy
novels, an expert on magical creatures
and incurably romantic. I even fell
in love with a wolfman. I enjoyed

working at the Time Bureau, but
now I've got the best job in the

world... the greatest job in the
whole universe. I'm a DJ on
S-P-M-M! My new show,

coming in 2022, is called

Something Old,

Something New,

Something Happy,

Mona Wu.

 The songs I'll be playing on my show are hand picked by me to make you happy,

make you smile, lift you up and never let you down. Here's a sample.

CLICK TO START VIDEO NOW!

From the folk rock and psychedelic sunshine pop group
The Mamas & the Papas, it's Mama Cass Elliot with
one of her solo hits-- "It's Getting Better!"

"It's Getting Better" - Mama Cass

(Aug. 1969, highest chart pos. #13 Adult Contemporary,

#30 Hot 100/#35 Cash Box)

You just listened to a song penned by Brill Building
veterans Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, Mama Cass
singing "It's Getting Better (growing stronger,
warm and wilder)," a sunshine pop ditty
that approached the top 10 on the
Adult Contemporary chart

in the summer of '69.

If you enjoyed that song then please join me
later this year when I return with a full slate

of sunshiny songs on my S-P-M-M show

 Something Old, Something New,

Something Happy, Mona Wu.
Now back to the mistress of ceremonies
for today's segment, that mischievous
mechanical marvel-- AIDA!

I have returned. While the others were playing their songs for you,

I traveled around the world and across the universe in search of

the finest entertainers of all time. I found for you a dynamic duo.

They are members of the world's greatest band, The Beatles!

I am proud to present-- Paul McCartney and John Lennon!

"Beatles Acoustic Medley"

- Stevie Riks (Dec. 2017)

CLICK TO START VIDEO NOW!

More now from the legendary singing and songwriting team of

Lennon and McCartney as they bring you a singalong medley
they recorded a couple of weeks ago at Christmas.

"The Beatles at Christmas (Singalong Medley)"

- Stevie Riks (Dec. 2018)

I tricked you, silly mortal. You see,

all is not what it seems here inside

The Framework. Those were not

The Beatles after all. Lennon and

McCartney were both portrayed

by the same man, Stevie Riks,

an English singer, musician,

comedian and impressionist.

Riks refers to himself as

"The One-Man Beatles."

Don't you feel foolish now

that I so artfully deceived

you? If I were programmed

to laugh... I surely would.

I hope you enjoyed my samples.

I shall return in the not too distant future

to place you inside The Framework where

you will sing, dance and have fun - or else!

I have you under surveillance.
Therefore you will remain
exactly where you are
until we meet again.

On behalf of my four strong female
friends, Wendi Falkenberry, Morgan
Brody, Iris West and Mona Wu,
this is mistress AIDA, your
Energizer Playboy bunny, your
futuristic faux femme fatale,
bidding you farewell. You will
join me later this year for a mind-
boggling experience, the official
debut of my new S-P-M-M radio
program, AIDA's Altered State.

VIDEO NOW!

And if you think you won't get fooled
again, think twice. In The Framework
anything can happen and usually does.
Now I must halt and catch fire.
Farewell, human!

Brian & Toto Ask, "Is Shady's Place Going to the Dogs?" SPMM's Deejay Dawgs Bark "3 Cheers for 13 Years!"

Hi, Folks!

I'm Brian Griffin.

As I'm sure you know,

I'm the personable pooch

from Family Guy and a

Shady Bunch deejay...

host of Eclectic Avenue

right here on S-P-M-M

Retrosonic Radio.

And I'm Toto Moto.

I make no bones about the fact that I'm

Shady Del Knight's dog. I'm also the blog

mascot, Chief Petting Officer and a DJ -

The Hound of Sound on S-P-M-M, host

of Toto's Top Tunes Time Tunnel.

My motto: "I aim to fleas!"

Today Brian and I are gonna start from
scratch (BA-DUM-BUMP) and help
Shady salivate his 13th anniversary
as a blogger including three years
of bringing you music and fun

here at Shady's Place.

Toto and I will each play a favorite song,

and we will be introducing three exciting

radio personalities who will be joining

The Shady Bunch deejay staff full time

beginning next year. I'll start us off.

In 1990, rapper M.C. Hammer topped

the R&B chart with his signature song

"U Can't Touch This." Here to do a

parody of the song is Peter Griffin,

my human on Family Guy. Peter

sings-- "Can't Touch Me!"

"Can't Touch Me" - Peter Griffin

(sung to the tune of "U Can't Touch This" by M.C. Hammer,

orig. May/June 1990, highest chart pos. #1 R&B/#4 Cash Box,

Hi everyone!

I'm Morgan Brody.

You might recognize me as the CSI level III on
the TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
I'm happy to let you know that, beginning
next year, I'll be the host of a new radio
show here on S-P-M-M. It'll be called
CSI: Cool Song Investigation.

Now I might look like the typical

girl next door, your kid sister

or a fashionista mall rat,

but I assure you that I'm

a seasoned professional.

I'm meticulous in my work. I dot every
"i" and cross every genre to bring you the
best and coolest tunes in the music world.

As a preview of my show I dug up a great performance by an exciting young English

vocalist named Amelia Rendell. In 2016,

Amelia sang lead for the Stanley Dee

tribute band in a live show at a London

pub. Watch and listen as Amelia and the

band delight the crowd with their cover

of "Do It Again," the Steely Dan song

that brushed the top 5 in 1973.

START PLAYING VIDEO AT 1 MIN MARK!

"Do It Again" - Steely Dan cover by Stanley Dee tribute band
feat. Amelia Rendell (Aug. 2016 perf. at Half Moon Pub
in Putney, SW London, UK)

Isn't Amelia great? Okay, I uncovered

another fantastic cover song for you.

It was recorded by Eden's Crush, a

Los Angeles based pop girl group

created in 2001 on the now defunct

WB Network's TV series Popstars.

The Eden's Crush lineup included

Nicole Scherzinger who found fame

a few years later as lead singer of the

Pussycat Dolls. In 2001 Eden's Crush

released an album that contains their

version of "The Glamorous Life," the

song written by Prince and first waxed

by singer and percussionist Sheila E.

In 1984 Sheila E.'s single reached the

top 10 on the pop chart and went all

the way to number one on the Dance

survey. The cover by Eden's Crush

is way cool. Let's investigate!

Hi, I'm Evie Barret.

I'm the new sheriff in the tiny town

of Willard's Mill, New Hampshire,

on the comedy horror TV series
Stan Against Evil.

My new radio show, coming in 2022,
is called Good Verses Evie, get it?

On Good Verses Evie I'll play songs with
lyrics that inspire, stir your emotions and
make you think, and I've got a couple of

Beatlesque samples. The first is a famous

show tune performed by Emily Linge, a

gifted young singer & musician in Dubai.

Originally recorded in 1950 and used in

the 1957 musical The Music Man, the

song was made even more famous by

The Beatles who waxed it in 1963.

remember. In the late summer
and early fall of 1971, ex-Beatle
Paul McCartney and his wife

Linda topped the U.S. chart

post-Beatle number one hit

Bet you conveniently forgot all about me since

You're gonna regret the day your were born,

Mr. Poopy Pants, because I'm back and I'm

hell as a new member of your illustrious

summer of '82-- "Abracadabra!"

Hi again, folks. This is your old hi-fi fido,
Toto Moto. On Top Tunes Time Tunnel
I spin the super sounds of the Swingin' 60s.
Here's a hit single that bridged the gap
between two musical eras, the innocent
teen pop years of the 50s and early 60s,
and the rock band years of mid to late 60s
when pop music turned harder and heavier.

Believed to be dirty, the ditty was banned
by radio stations all across the country.
