I'm so cool!

So, every day at 4pm Lazer 99.3 does this contest called "Missing Link" where they play 3 songs with a common link. Last week I e-mailed the DJ with an idea for it and THEY USED MY IDEA TODAY!!! The DJ thanked me on air (dear DJ, it's pronounced Atheenee - both E's are long) and mentioned that it was the first listener idea that they've used.

My idea was "Songs that Weird Al has parodied." They played: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Nirvana, "Give it away now" - Red Hot Chili Peppers, and "Lump" - Presidents of the USA. The link was called in by the second song.

I bet I made a whole bunch of area nerds really happy.

I couldn't stop smiling my whole ride home.

The fame, the glitz, the glamour, I love it.

Thanks. I was fortunate to have my camera on hand when Alita decided to sleep on the place mat like that.

Cool! I wonder if they'd take a song-group-idea from someone who's not a listener... I have ideas like that all the time. The one I can think of off the top of my head is probably not the time period they're looking for:

Something, by the Beatles
Layla, by Eric Clapton
Wonderful Tonight, by Clapton again

...'it's all too much' and 'for you blue' by the beatles

and 'she's waiting' by eric

Oh! Um, I don't know. My category is "songs written for Patti Boyd." I think I got this bit of trivia when I took a Beatles tour in Liverpool. So I don't know if the other songs also fit the description.

...according to a website i googled for the song by harrison ('something'}, those other songs are believed to also have been inspired by Patti...
she must have really been something her self to have been muse to two such incredible talented men.

That's a pretty cool radio contest. The local pop/rock station here just does the normal call in & the # caller stuff.
