Una's radio show

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

[Without prelude, Ella Fitzgerald's version of "Begin the Beguine" plays.]

Good afternoon, everyone. This is Una Persson with [pause] a rather scant handful of song requests, so I'll be filling up the show with ... well, whatever strikes my fancy, I expect. As always, if there is something that you want to hear, call me at the station, and I'll do my best.

Our first request comes from Crowley, and [amused chuckle] it's very direct and to the point, isn't it? Crowley dedicates Duran Duran's* "Love Voodoo" to Chantinelle, with the message, "Chantinelle, you tease, don't keep me waiting."  My my.

After that, I think perhaps some Serge Gainsbourg is in order. Here's his "Initials BB".

Kira would like to dedicate "Don't Stop" by the Rolling Stones to a woman he doesn't name. He says she'll know who she is, however. [There's a second or two of dead air after the song ends.] Well, Kira, I hope your mystery woman figures it out.

Let's have Dusty Springfield's "Breakfast in Bed" to follow that, shall we?"

Kyouya would like to dedicate the following song to Tamaki: "True Love's Kiss" performed by Amy Adams and James Marsden. [Snickering can be heard in the background as the song ends and the god-mike comes back on.] That ... is ever so charming.

In fact, it's inspired me to dedicate a song to my friends here: this is Sondre Lerche performing a lovely version of Elvis Costello's "Human Hands". I'd no idea that song could actually swing.

Our last request is anonymous: "Eden", performed by Sarah Brighton.

[A thoughtful silence after the song ends, and then, again without prelude, Madeleine Peyroux's cover of Tom Waits's "(Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night" plays, followed, incongrously, by the Armadillo String Quartet's version of "Youkali Tango".]

Sounds like someone conquered the Big Bad Technology Wolf.

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

[Snort.]

Wasn't so hard, really.

[hear-the-drums.livejournal.com]

[A second of dead air. He's likely paused to roll his eyes.]

Well then. I'll make sure I'm less impressed in the future.

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

That was a lovely show, Una-san! I'm sorry you didn't get more requests. Could you maybe play something from the '80s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU) for me?

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

Of course. Anything in particular?

((Ahaha.))

[redheadshizuka.livejournal.com]

Ummm, yes! You know that song by Rick Astley? I don't know what it's called, but he keeps saying he won't give you up or anything?

I want to hear that!

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Kyouya!!! Thank you! That's such a nice song!

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

[Clearly amused.]

Would you like me to play anything for your friend, Tamaki?

[imyourking.livejournal.com]

Yes! Could you play... uhm... uh... Oh!

Happy Boys and Happy Girls (http://www.mediafire.com/?b5xzfhctjon) by Aqua (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/aqua/happyboysgirls.html)? I want to dedicate it to everyone in the whole park, but especially to my best friend Kyouya!

[skined-shaun.livejournal.com]

Hey, Una, whilst we're on the Eighties, thanks to...um...whoever that was, let's have some decent representation of it, yeah?

Course, I mean Pressure Drop (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R25H1U5S) by Toots and the Maytals (http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/hardertheycome/pressuredrop.htm). Ska time and all that. Ta!

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

Excellent choice, young man. Here you go.

[Song plays.]

[skined-shaun.livejournal.com]

You're bloody awesome, y'know. [moment's thought] Don't suppose I can bother you for another? Because some people in this park just don't skank enough. It's a classic, promise.

((*cough* guess who just got the This is England soundtrack today? XP I now have more things to request.))

[yourshadowking.livejournal.com]

[A long, pregnant pause]

[cheerfully] Ah, Una, is it?

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

That's me. And to whom am I speaking?

[yourshadowking.livejournal.com]

This would be Kyouya.

[amused, plainly insincere tone of voice] I'm afraid someone's been having a joke.

[kuchiki.livejournal.com]

Thank you for doing this, Una! I know I enjoyed it, at least.

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, Rukia. Glad you liked it. It's a pale shadow of what Cayce Pollard seems to manage so effortlessly, but I thought I'd give it a shot, anyway.

[kuchiki.livejournal.com]

Cayce does seem to have a knack for certain kinds of technology. But I still think you did fine. In fact, would you play something for me?

[chantinellie.livejournal.com]

Hi there, Una, this is Ellie. *Amused* You're right, that was pretty direct. I suppose I do owe Mr. Crowley a visit. But since he's chosen to make our business public, I'm going to take the opportunity to tell the other ladies of the park what they've been missing out on. Heck, maybe the guys too, what do I know. Would you please play Your Kiss Is On My List (http://www.filecrunch.com/file/~h2ebut) by Hall & Oates (http://www.lyrics007.com/Hall%20&%20Oates%20Lyrics/Kiss%20on%20My%20List%20Lyrics.html)?

((OMG, that comment is too awesome)) XD

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

[Laughter, and a lightly mock-scolding tone.]

Oh my, a kiss-and-tell. Mr Crowley, really.

Here you are, Ellie—enjoy.

[Song plays.]

((Crowley-mun gets credit for spotting that comment. ^_^))

Calling in - Lexi's a bitch 8D

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

[That voice probably sounds familiar, but not. More feminine, older.]

To the man that bothered to give his name this time, would you play, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (http://www.sendspace.com/file/nay5nv), by the Rolling Stones (http://www.lyricsdomain.com/18/rolling_stones/you_cant_always_get_what_you_want.html), as my response?

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

Certainly. [Dryly.] I'm glad our friend's message got through.

I don't believe we've met...?

[swordandchalice.livejournal.com]

No, we haven't.

[caveatempter.livejournal.com]

[Things have been calm and... very pleasant, in fact, and the Count has been considering this for some time. He discovered this song before coming to the park and, while he knows the lyrics could be taken the wrong way, of course, the Detective would hardly understand them... And he does, in fact, feel he should return the favor, however heavy-handed and overtly sappy the Detective's own song request for him had been.]

Your show was indeed lovely, Ms. Persson. I would like to dedicate a song myself, if I may? For Officer Leon Orcott, the song... Lǜdǎo Xiǎoyèqǔ (http://www.mediafire.com/?mzatmgzlzej), if you have it. It may be under the name 'Green Island Serenade'.

[una-harlequin.livejournal.com]

Ah ... hmm. Let me see.

[A brief moment of dead air.]

Well, I don't—wait. Well, I'll be damned. Here you are then.

[Song plays.]
