June 29, 2007 - Kettering, OH

About 30 seconds into "Amish Paradise."

I didn't realize that this happened when they made a mistake or had a problem. I thought it was a planned part of the show. That's interesting. It'd be nice to keep a record, then, of what song was interrupted by "Radio, Radio" during each one of its performances.

[weirdal4994]

Yeah, why did they do it for Kettering? Did you notice any technical difficulties?

[Bruce the Duck]

I think Al messed up on the lyrics. But at the time, I thought it was part of the show. I felt ripped off afterwards since I wanted to hear "Amish Paradise!"

[27-77]

These are the songs that were interupted I know:

5/31/07 (I'm In Love With The Skipper)
6/9/07 (Fat)
6/29/07 (Amish Paradise)
7/20/07 (White And Nerdy)
9/29/07 (I'll Sue Ya)

[CB Johnny]

And each time Radio Radio would be performed? Were other songs used besides it?

[27-77]

I've heard that there were a few songs that were supposed to be used, but I've only ever heard of "Radio Radio" being performed.

[jbracciante]

Close to You is occasionally performed. It happened at least twice.

[27-77]

I thought that was just for fun though...kinda like the 2004 teaser songs.

We can now add:

5/21/11 Englewood (You're Pitiful)
10/16/2012 York, PA (Yoda Chant)
4/21/13 Cedar Rapids (Party in the CIA)
6/4/12 Bethlehem, PA (You Make Me)

I was actually at the Bethlehem one, and it was pretty cool (even though I did wan't to see "You Make Me" live, I would have much rather heard "Radio Radio")
