Al-Radio Detroit 106.7 (was part of Hangin' 27)

Yeah, that could be part of it. Sure, some songs have been repeated, but mostly Al's. And I just heard a newer comment that hadn't been played before. He must have recorded a lot of different ones. There have been some repeats on those, too, but that's ok by me! It's just the perfect thing to listen to as I'm scanning my concert pics.

Thanks, Al!

I split this from Hangin' 27 and made it a topic of it's own.

Carry on.

Thanks, SD! I just have to post the comment I just heard from Al: "I'd like to honor all the mothers out there. It's Labor Day, and we wouldn't be here if it weren't for you and the painful process of labor. Thank you, and Happy Labor Day." Both sweet and funny at the same time. *Especially how he said it*. You just earned yourself some brownie points with this mom, Al! Thanks!

The man can't stay awake for 3 days

Are you sure about that? He is a new father, after all.

Wonder whether he'll be wishing Suzanne a happy Labor Day...

Well, he does have a couple of days off.

Don't get me wrong, Patti! I really enjoy hearing Al on the radio! This is the first time I've heard so many Al songs on the radio in like ... ever! I DID stay up until 1:10 recording Al Radio, for cryin out loud!! I was just trying to give the people a clear description of what was going on, that's all.

BTW, I was up taping from 5 pm to 1 am last night. Here's a breakdown of the Al bits.

During the 8 hours I was listening, they played these Al songs:

Yoda (twice)

Bedrock Anthem (twice)

Ricky

Couch Potato

Like A Surgeon

Livin In The Fridge

Fat

My Balogna

Polka Party! (I really wasn't expecting this!)

Nature Trail To Hell

Ode To A Superhero

There were two short bits of fans calling in and thanking Al for their free Poodle Hat cds that they won from the station.

There were three songs from movies, that had quotes from the movie played over the songs, along with Al intros. Those movies (I can't remember all of the songs, sorry!) were The Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, and Caddyshack. [I think I was most excited about the second one. That is, I believe the first time ever that Al has made reference to my favorite movie ever!!]

There were a total of 28 (so far) original short bits of Al usually saying something funny about the fact that he was taking over the station for 3 days. Again, I'll go through and write them all down here, when the weekend is over. My personal favorite was just before Nature Trail To Hell, he said (paraphrasing): "Now we're going to hear one of my original songs. (sarcastically) YES! I wrote the MUSIC too! Who'd of thunk it?"

I stopped taping once I started hearing a lot of those bits being repeated, then I woke up this morning, turned on the radio, and immediately heard a new bit that wasn't played last night! :mad: I'm running out of tapes!

<Crying> Bruce...I'm SORRY...

...I certainly didn't mean to leave you out...

Well, anyway, it sounds like it was a fun and eventful weekend for all you Detroit-ians...(and all those elsewhere who could pick up the broadcast...)..I've never heard Al before on the radio, but my sister did once doing a cover of a Rolling Stones song..I don't remember which one, but she was very excited...

Awww..Al..what a sweet comment about Labor Day...

...See why there are so many Al Gals out there now??

I wish I could hear these tapes!!!..

ttyl all!

Ok, Bruce the Duck. Glad to hear you're enjoying it as well. Isn't it great hearing Al's music on the radio, and NOT because it's Dr. Demento? Btw, I was up until 2:30 am and heard "The Scotsman". Now, that is not a song that is normally played on that station, so I think Al may have picked that one. Thanks for clearing up the phone call thing. I want that answering machine message!! Hehe! Oh, and the songs that go with the movies: "Don't You Forget About Me" ~ The Breakfast Club, "The Power of Love" ~ Back to the Future and "I'm Alright" ~ Caddyshack. And I agree, the epicenter of cinema in the '80's WAS Bill Murray in Caddyshack. lol!

Patti

still rockin' to Al radio

*hehe, hubby's been playing guitar along with some songs. But, when Bohemian Polka came on he said "I know when to quit." hehe!

Although I was *made in the 80s* I've seen all of those movies, and I'd love to hear that kind of music..hosted by Al, no less! Wow...I must say I'm reeeally jealous..if I haven't said that already...

ttyl all!

No offense taken, hence the

!

I've never heard Al before on the radio, but my sister did once doing a cover of a Rolling Stones song..I don't remember which one, but she was very excited...

Hmm. Could have been "The Hot Rocks Polka" maybe? Actually the first time I ever heard Al was on the radio. While in the car when I was 10 years old, I heard "Fat." Since then, I've been hooked!

I wish I could hear these tapes!!!..

Like I've said, I'll compile as many of the clips as I can onto a tape and make them available for trade next week.
