Renny G (host)
Yeah, some of those old love songs are classics for a reason.

Qu'en des termes discrets ces choses-là sont dites! (free transl.) Ah, what euphemisms we use to speak of such things...

1:36 PM, February 12th, 2025
Renny G (host)
Hey B. Welcome to the festivities.

1:36 PM, February 12th, 2025
Renny G (host)
And thank you for the translation.

Lina Lost
Not to sound ungrateful, but you're not playing "I Was Made for Lovin' You" by KISS??? Geez.... hahahahahah

Johnny Loan

I've noticed that there's a BUNCH of old stuff in the 'list, but not a single clunker by, I dunno, Paul Anka or Michael Bublé.

1:44 PM, February 12th, 2025
Renny G (host)
That's when it sneaks up on ya Johnny. When ya least expect it. One day I was minding my own business and the next, KAPOW! RIGHT IN THE KISSER! I was in love.

Renny G (host)

Renny G (host)
Hee hee. I should warn you. I know you and your dog like to dance but I'm not sure in the current political atmosphere of today that you should be slow dancing with a lab. People are so judgmental these days.

Simon Chardiet has the most versatile singing voice I've ever heard. I really hope he plays a show in these parts soon.

3:07 PM, February 12th, 2025
Renny G (host)
Only You is begging for a punk rock cover version.

3:08 PM, February 12th, 2025
Lina Lost
True. A punk cover of Only You would be awesome. I bet one exists.

3:11 PM, February 12th, 2025
Bc
Hey, you want something cornier than Only You? Trying listening to the québécois 60s French version... I forget who did it though...

3:13 PM, February 12th, 2025
N & DL
Lester Bowie wrote one of the greatest doo wop love songs of all time !!!! Lovin' it

3:15 PM, February 12th, 2025
Renny G (host)
Now your trying to deliberately tease me, Neil, no fair. I'm just a dumb college deejay.

3:17 PM, February 12th, 2025
Bob the Buddhist
You're lucky you know love. I don't, never have, and never will. Which accounts for.my sarcasm and cynicism. I definitely am and will die an old bachelor with his cats. And I dont care. Dont anybody go cruising those backroads tomorrow! You won't.be coming back! Ha! Haha! Hahaha! (sinistre laughter)

3:17 PM, February 12th, 2025
Lina Lost
Bc I have heard that Quebec version.

3:17 PM, February 12th, 2025

Frankie
Great show Renny, thanks.

3:20 PM, February 12th, 2025
