Themes for Wednesday and Thursday...

Bryan Burnett | 19:02 UK time, Tuesday, 8 July 2008

hot.jpgWe're going for a double theme here. Wednesday will be hot songs. I'm thinking Hot, Hot, Hot or The Heat Is On, just not those two from 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum'. So, if we're doing hot songs on Wednesday.....that means it's cold songs for Thursday. Hank's Cold, Cold Heart is a favourite but I am hoping we get asked for Freeze and Southern Freeze. Whatever we end up playing it will be our most chilled out show.

    Roxy Music 'Both Ends Burning' my favourite Roxy single and sadly one of their least known. It is not played on radio as much as the 'Siren' album's other single 'Love Is The Drug' The version on the Live album released in 2003 is great too but the 'Viva!Roxy Music' live album has a version spoiled by the backing singers. The live version on 'Heart Still Beating' is rather limp so it has to be the album version or Roxy Music Live (released 2003)

    Hot In The City - Billy Idol
    Burn Baby Burn - Ash
    Disco Inferno - The Trammps
    I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen ( I know I am not his biggest fan but I do like this one! I imagine this might not be popular with the hardcore Bruce fans!!)
    Hot Chip - Over and Over
    If You Can't Stand The Heat - Bucks Fizz (great clip of this on YT with them all dressed in classic 80's shredded jungle look outfits!!)

    Never thought I would hear a Wham song open GIO Bryan, good on yer!!

    Hi Brian! Glad to see that the techy issues are sorted now.....

    ok, these ones all have first lines which are to do with heat :

    1. Black Velvet by Allanah Myles (my guilty pleasure)
    2. Smooth by some bloke (sorry) and Setanta
    3. You took the words right out of my mouth - Meatloaf. But you have to play the whole song. Leaving out the trully brilliant spoken introduction is sacrelige.
    4. Somewhere in my Heart by Aztec Camera

    Some more "Hot Choices" for me would be:
    1.Summertime by the Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff - staple listening for any child of the 90's!
    2. Burning Down the House - Talking Heads (but my favorite version, sadly, is the Tom Jones cover version)
    3. It's Too darn Hot by Marilyn Monroe - see if you can track that one down!!
    4. Heatwave by Martha reeves and the Vandellas

    Hope that this helps - and if you play any of my choices could you say hello to my lovely husband Tom who listens to the show and argues with me about our top choices - makes the commute home fun!

    Cheers,

    Caitlin from Kirriemuir

    Bryan,
    I was quite surprised not to hear Michael Jackson, David Cassidy or even our own Ozzie Osbourne mentioned last night. Ozzie is now more famous for being married to Sharon - it was the other way round in the 70's.

    For your "Hot Session" tonight!
    Glenn Frey - The Heat is On.
    Shaggy - (Mr.) Hotshot.
    Joe Cocker's version of Lovin' Spoonful's -(Hot town) Summer in the City.
    Billy Idol and Hot in the City (as per Maria's choices) and of course......
    TRex with Hot Love - an all time classic!

  • Comment number 10.

    Burning Love, Elvis
    Summertime Blues, Eddie Cochrane
    Here comes the Sun, The Beatles
    Hot Legs, Rod Stewart
    Desert Rose, Sting

    "Hot Love, Cold World" by Bob Welch would work for either day! So would "Humidity Built the Snowman" by John Prine.

    Bruce Nesmith
    Cedar Rapids IA USA

    Bryan

    Hot songs:
    Too Darn Hot - Ella Fitzgerald (or Erasure)
    Fever - Peggy Lee (rather than anyone else!)
    Hot love - T Rex
    Heat Wave - Martha and the Vandellas
    Summer in the city - Lovin Spoonful

    Or for an extremely hot song:
    Set the controls for the heart of the sun - Pink Floyd.

    And some warm summer songs:
    That Summer Feeling - Jonathan Richman
    Sunny Afternoon - Kinks
    Sun is Shining - Bob Marley

    Cheers

    Thu (Cold);

    How about a great Northern Soul track..."Cool Jerk" by The Capitols. You could have a good dance round the studio to this one.

    Bryan,

    Thanks for playing my Dylan "cover" request last week, how about doing the real thing with "Love Minus Zero / No Limit" as the title sounds vaguely cold. Also chilly sounding are:- "Winterlong" and "4 Strong Winds" by Neil Young, "Hazy Shade of Winter" by Bangles and Icicle Works "Love is A Wonderful Colour".

    cheers,
    Paul, Ayr

    Trying for a second time to blog!

    Freeze - AEIOU (although not sure how well this track has aged!)
    Hank Williams - Cold Cold Heart

    and as per Kirstys blog:

    Foreigner - Cold As Ice and Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby

    C'mon Bryan, get it on!

    Thursday's COLD theme. I suppose this is a long shot on the Roxy Music connection.
    Rap artist, Ice T used a sample of the opening guitar motif to Roxy Music's 'Amazona' as the foundation of one of his tracks, 'That's How I'm Living (On The Rox Mix)'.

    Another Ferry reference could be 'Windswept' but I got 'Both Ends Burning' played last night so I can't complain.

    I was going to make this week a Kate Bush week but it started off with the facial hair theme so that knackered that. I will do a Kate Bush week this coming week. I find it more interesting to limit myself to the one artist for 4 themes.

    Hi Bryan

    A lot of my cold songs see to be about snow (maybe because I ski). My choices would be:
    Footsteps in the snow - Roisin Murphy (from my favourite disc of last year - Overpowered)
    Barefoot - kd lang (a real cold song about walking through the snow barefoot - complete with wolves!)
    You have placed a chill in my heart - Annie Lennox (the live Central Park version is good).

    Other possibilities:
    Cool for Cats - Squeeze
    20 Years of snow - Regina Spektor
    Baby It's Cold Outside - (So many options - but how about) Ray Charles and Betty Carter or Tom Jones and Cerrys Matthews

    Cheers
    Andy

    HI Bryan,
    For tonight (Thursday) how about some Annie Lennox with Cold.
    Foreigner have already been mentioned,
    Nothing by Coldplay (that's not the name of an album track).
    Something from "Hell Freezes Over" by the Eagles hopefully Wasted Time

    and of course that great celebratory song .......


    wait for it .............
