Strange song titles is this weeks theme on RGG. The criteria is single word titles that may or may not have a meaning!! Song titles such as Zabadak, Daskarzine, Shambala, Abacab, Aqualung, Odorono, Kokomo, Camisado, Amoureuse, Yahweh, Amergavenny, Velociraptor, Velouria, Temazcal and others by acts such as Jethro Tull, The Who, U2, Phil Collins, Genesis, Pixies, Marty Wilde, Cold Chisel,

Each week on Radio Ga Ga we invent a “special theme” and make our music choices based on that theme which gives us a great broad spectrum of music eras to choose from. This weeks theme will feature bands who were named after songs by other artists. Think of Australia’s own JET or POWDERFINGER, named after the Wings song “Jet”

Its a long introduction but many of them are short songs. We are going through the alphabet, one song for each letter with, as mentioned, well known songs which do not feature the title of the song within the lyrics of the song. Here is the playlist of the artists we will feature but what will the songs be?? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…………….

No not those ones, the ones where a band or artist had a big hit but just avoided becoming a “one hit wonder” by having a second, less successful release. The Romantics “What I Like About You” is well known, what was the other less successful hit song they had. The same can be said for The Swingers, Extreme, Berlin,

No, not the blues (although we love the blues) and not the “racey” kind of blue either but the colour blue as RGG returns this week with 2 hours of songs about the colour blue. The featured artists will include Roy Orbison, Linda Ronstadt, ELO, Gene Pitney, Bob Dylan, Graham Bonnet, Neil Diamond, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, George Thorogood &
