Hi everyone. Cayce Pollard here, and happy non-denominational holiday of your choice to one and all! By now you've probably seen the park decorations and even the snow in the evenings, and you know what that means: snowball fight by the statue! James Potter, I'm looking at you.

Thanks to everyone who sent in music requests, especially [cough] Tamaki Suoh who was so very generous. We'll, uh, get to his in the latter half of the show.

First up, "A Message to You, Rudy" by the Specials for Shaun Meadowes. Here ya go, Shaun -- enjoy!

Setsuna Mudou's sent in two songs, both for Sara. First we've got "Misunderstood" by Bon Jovi. [pause] And, uh, Sara, Setsuna says he's sorry. And [puzzled silence] okay, the next one he's got for you is "She's the Boss", by Mick Jagger.

Right. Setsuna's partner in crime, Kira, wants to hear "Bad to the Bone" by George Thoroughgood & the Destroyers. And Kira, you've got a dedication for you from [muffled giggle] Hot Streak, who writes, and I quote: "This is the only way I can express my true feelings. I only start sh-- stuff with him and Setsuna because he's so hot and I want him so badly." And the song is the Beatles classic, "I Want to Hold Your Hand". [another muffled giggle] Aw, lookit that, it's signed with a little heart.

Oh, here's another one from Kira for Setsuna. [pause] It's, uh, "Gay Bar" by Electric Six. [more snickering] Heh. Okay, and in keeping with that theme, Katou would like to hear Rufus Wainwright's "Gay Messiah" and dedicate it to, quote, "the best Gay Messiah in the park".

Let's have some requests and dedications that aren't from the the Honey I Shrunk the Kids crew, huh? [Her tone is one of fond amusement.] Pearl wants to hear "Steel Samurai", and it's dedicated to Mr Nick.

Logan Echolls would like to hear "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers and "Prove My Love" by the Violent Femmes. Here you go, Logan; always glad to oblige.

Up next, Una Persson would like to hear the song "Devil May Care". Here's Diana Krall's live version.

Hm. We've got some anonymous dedications here; first, someone wants to dedicate "She's Always a Woman" by Billy Joel to, um, "a very cruel angel".

Right. Another someone wants to hear Metallica’s Wherever I May Roam and Astronomy by Blue Oyster Cult, and they're dedicated to Mr Dean Winchester.

Let's see ... here's an anonymous request for "White Knuckles" by Elvis Costello and the Attractions. [audible quietly just as the song is fading out: "...sus christ, nothing says 'holiday' like a jaunty song about domestic abuse."]

[Moment of dead air.] I just need to say one thing: You people really are in the holiday spirit, aren't you?

Okay, I'm going to get this next song out of my system and then move on to the Tamaki Suoh show, 'cause we're going to need the change of pace. Here's David Bowie's "5:15 The Angels Have Gone". [pause] It's for a ... a friend.

[Roisin Murphy's "Parallel Lives" plays without comment.]

Okay then! Without further ado, let's get into Tamaki Suoh's requests. I ... am pretty sure that he has requested songs for every woman in the park, and I'm just going to read off what he sent in, because [muffled snicker] I can't improve on it.

First of all, to lovely Kawai Shizuka! I had a hard time trying to pick a song for her, but I finally decided on Quiet Pianos, by Moby! It's a beautiful song, just like Shizuka-chan, and as her name means 'quiet' as well as 'cute' - both of which fit her personality quite well, I thought it's the perfect song for her!

Next, I would like to dedicate a song to Delirium! I've been told that she's no longer here, but she might be! Maybe she's just staying quiet. Anyway, the song I'd like to dedicate is Crazy in Love by Snow Patrol, because just being with her makes my heart pound heavier, and she makes me feel as though nothing I know in life is the same anymore. It's enough to make me a little crazy.

The next song I would like to request is the song Accidentally In Love by The Counting Crows, and I'd like to dedicate it to Psyche. Being around her is enough to make any man accidentally fall in love with her, and I'm afraid to admit that even I was not immune.

I'm not sure if one Reira is in the park any more, but nevertheless, I would like to dedicate Eric Clapton's Layla to her. Just the sound of her name makes me think of this song, and it's such a beautiful song.

The Ghost of You, by eastmountainsouth goes to Miho. I will never forget the scare that her Ghost of the Bulletin Board gave me, and though I have never met her in person, I know that she and I will get along fantastically.

[There's a long pause, and then the following is read with barely suppressed hilarity.]

To Cayce, the beautiful [snerk!], kind, and intelligent host for this radio programme, I would like to dedicate Bad Case of Loving You by Robert Palmer, because, not only is your name in the title, but I must admit that I've fallen for your charms.

Why thank you, Tamaki. I'm touched. I really am. [gigglesnort]

To Chii, I would like play Guy Clark's I Don't Love You Much, Do I?. If you ever need anyone bestow their love upon you, I will be stopping by the restaurant much more frequently than I have been in the past.

To Sara, I would like to dedicate Sara. It's a beautiful piece, just like her, and it reminds me a great deal of her. I know I have been missing for quite some time by now, but I would love to be in your company once again, because just being near you makes me feel like all is right in the world. If you would like to meet again for piano lessons, remember that my schedule is always open to be with you.

I regret to admit that I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting the following ladies, but I would love to have the chance to.

To Barbiel, I would like to dedicate Let My Love Open the Door by Audio Adrenaline. Though I cannot claim to have had the pleasure of meeting you, whether the doors to your heart are opened or closed, I would love to be there to hold them open. I hope if any trouble befalls you, I shall be in your heart.

Pearl Fey, I would like to Less Than A Pearl by Enya. I can't say that I understand all of the words, but the song itself is charming and beautiful, just like yourself.

Rukia. The name is Japanese, though if you change it to latin characters, it can be translated to Lucia, the Latin word for "light." As you are the light to my candle, I would like to dedicate Shining Light by Ash.

[Pause, then a small snort.]

Again, as I've never met Miss Nellie Lovett, I had to go by her name to dedicate a song to her. So, I would like to dedicate I'm Lovin' It by Justin Timberlake. If you would ever like to get together to dance, I know many types of dances. Perhaps I could even teach you a few.

To Pippi, I would like to dedicate Rufus Wainwright, and Foolish Love. For I know that if I were to see you, I would be foolishly in love.

Veronica (lyrics) is dedicated to Veronica. Is there anything in particular you would like me to call you?

[Audible in the background: "Does he even know what that song is about?"]

To Una, I would like to dedicate Never Had A Wish Come True by a band called S Club 7. I would never let you go.

To Jeliza-Rose, I would like to dedicate Roses Are Red by Aqua. It's a very cute song, but I must say, it comes no where close to Jeliza-Rose. Your name, I must say, is so very beautiful...

Starbuck receives the song Written In The Stars by Westlife. My love for you, Starbuck, was preordained, and written by God himself in the stars of the universe.

Melissa Etheridge plays a song which I would like to dedicate to Susan.

[Long pause. Badly suppressed laughter, followed by a few thumps as of someone pounding a fist on a table, and there's a lot more giggling before Cayce finally manages to continue.]

Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover. Miss Susan, you are one of the most lovely ladies that I have never met.

I would like to dedicate a song that I wrote and sang myself to Antoinette. I met your brother, and we're very close friends. Antoinette is one of my most favourite songs, and if you're as nice as your brother, I know that you and I will become very close. Guilty Beauty Love.

To Rae, I would like to dedicate You Are My Sunshine, for you are the one ray of sunlight that shines into the darkest room, providing the strongest hope and love.

To Minako Aino - who's last name means 'love's' I would like to dedicate I Believe In A Thing Called Love, for with a name as beautiful as yours, how can I not?

And finally, to my very very best friend in the whole wide world, I would like to dedicate We're Going To Be Friends The White Stripes, because we are going to be friends forever and ever and ever, right, Kyouya Ootori, my very best friend in the whole wide world? I'm glad we became friends, and I'm gladder that you've finally found your way to Disneyland!

Whew. And that, boys and girls, is everything we've got today. Want to hear something else after all that? Call in!

[Cayce cues up David Bowie's "Life on Mars". As the song cues up and before the god-mike gets switched off, anyone who's paying close attention might hear a sort of thump that sounds like a head hitting a desk, and muffled laughter that sounds very tired and more than a little resigned.]

There's a very small voice on the line.

"Miss Cayce? Thank you for playing my song for Mr. Nick. Um, can you tell me who Mr. Tamaki is? I never had anyone play a song just for me before..."

From:

"Hi there, Pearl. Tamaki's ..." A lengthy pause. "Well, I don't think he'll mind if I describe him as a charming blond teenage boy with a real gift for words." A small laugh. "He's a nice guy."

A world of laughter. A world of tears. A world of hope. A world of fears.

It's the "I'm so Full of Holiday Spirit I Can't Stand It" Radio Show! (plus The Tamaki Suoh Show!)
