  3:13pm Victrola Tom:

Someone told me recently that I must be a space cadet for being a fan of Todd-O-Phonic Todd. I was amazed he knew that Todd’s swag socks are in fact made from the same material as the socks worn on the international space station!
  3:13pm Victrola Tom:

Todd is also a big fan of Tang!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:22pm Hughie Considine:

Too bad explicit instructions not to play Stump the Band are needed, but apparently requesting Van Halen's "Eruption" is the new "Free Bird!"

WHITE MANNA
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:31pm Hughie Considine:

As great a song as that one is, I shudder to think of the untold clowns who were discouraged from clowning by it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:31pm Handy Haversack:

Oh shit! GREAT request, whoever this was. Wow. This one goes all the way in.
  3:31pm Lc.:

You know your listeners are on their game when someone thinks to request a song by the *brother* of one of the greatest songwriters we’ve ever known. Bravo on the perfect choice
  3:32pm morphe':

Clowns.. ps..

  3:47pm Frank from Bedminster:

I’m with @adampsyche - do I need to volunteer or donate to get in next year? Maybe wearing my Mr Met tee shirt gets me in?
  3:50pm flashbazbo:

You can’t medley one song. Just saying.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:50pm Handy Haversack:

Figure Mr. Met shirt should do the trick. Makes sense.
