The "This is why we can't have nice things" radio show

[The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" plays.]

That was for Kira, who's wondering why we don't get more requests for Beatles songs. Good question, Kira.

So. [Weighty pause.]

I got a total of four, count 'em, four requests from two people. And Kira's there was one. I'll go ahead and play through the rest before figuring out exactly how you guys are

All right, I feel irrationally guilty about this one. And I don't even know you except by sight - that's better than my mom can do. How about, um:

Twilight Time by The Platters,

Goodnight Moon by Shivaree,

and, um, Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles.

Happy? Oh, um, this is Rae Seddon, by the way. The bitchy baker-cook girl.

[caycep]

Oh, hey there, Rae. Thanks for the requests -- great choices.

I should probably come by the Blue Bayou sometime, shouldn't I?

Um... um um um, oh! How about Joni Mitchel's This Flight Tonight*?

((*real player (m4a) file, or here on youtube if that's too annoying.))

[caycep]

Oh, that's good. We don't get much Joni Mitchell either. Here you go. [Song plays.]

[a_lonely_god]

Thanks. Also [pause] That, that John Barrowman fellow? No idea who he is? I mean, some actor, obviously...?

[caycep]

Not anyone I've ever heard of, but I guess so. All I can tell you is that his name is the other one tagged on the track, him and Kevin Kline.
