dizzy_land[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".]

Date: 2008-04-02 03:27 pm (UTC)Actually, I was wondering if you could up a Franz Ferdinand (http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Evil-And-A-Heathen-lyrics-Franz-Ferdinand/4970EC3219B0ED9B48257083000B117E) song for me. Little number by the name of Evil and A Heathen (http://download.yousendit.com/F1CC48AE1BE9A946)?

[Song plays. When she speaks next, the irony in her tone is almost knife-cuttable.]
Lovely choice.

Date: 2008-04-02 03:41 pm (UTC)Thought you'd enjoy it, darling. Either way, I'm sure you're staving off boredom better than most.
no subject
Date: 2008-04-02 03:44 pm (UTC)It's what I do best.
[You could read anything into her tone there, but the odds that it's anything entirely good seem to be slender.]

no subject
Date: 2008-04-02 04:17 pm (UTC)[You could read a lot into that tone as well. But it was more likely you'd zero in on one aspect of it.]
I'll be signing off then. Try not to have too much fun without me.
((omgWHUT? Wow. That's... amazing. XD))

Date: 2008-04-02 04:38 pm (UTC)[It sounds like another ironic joke. Mostly. After a moment, a sound that might be a wry laugh and, for no apparent good reason, a remix of Nemesis (http://download.yousendit.com/BD194138384DF128) by Shriekback (http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=3530822107858480549). It seems very likely that Una just closed her eyes and picked a song at random.]
((Some people, I swear. XD))
