Big L Radio Listen Again
The Saturday Teatime Show - July 13th
Big Girl. The Station with the Happy Dance Branch. Bring you the back on the memory station. Thank you, Simon. Good afternoon. You're better off when your radio's on. Live from a darkened bunker outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Rick,ingly. [MUSIC PLAYING] Now, if you feel that you can't go on, because all of your hope is gone, and you're light, and still with the dillions, and happiness, just by the illusion, and you're all around the summer and down. Don't let it reach out. Reach out. Big, big, big. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Now, if you're lost, then I'm back. I'll give up. I'll tell you better. Don't think good enough. I'll tell you better. The world has grown cold. I'll tell you better. I'll tell you better. I'll tell you better. I'll tell you better. I'll tell you better. I'll tell you better. I'll tell you better. I'll tell you better. Reach out. Reach out. Reach out. Reach out. Reach out. [MUSIC PLAYING] I'll be there. And you feel that you can't hold. I'll hold you. I'll keep you home. Keep you home. I'll be there. When I love, I'll see you through my bed. [MUSIC PLAYING] I'll be there. To love, I'll talk about you. I'll be there. When the love, I'll see you through my bed. I can tell the way you hang your head. You're without a love. Now you're afraid. And through your tears. You look around. Now there's no reason why to be by. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Gloria Gaynor on the Bigel International, 1975. It was a top 20 hit in the UK but didn't do that well in the US. It was a very good afternoon to you, Henry Kayne, coming to you from the Bigel Studios live this hour. From just outside Atlanta in Georgia. Oh boy. Could we sing it's coming home? Could we do the three lions? Or... [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING] Now that said, it will be really cool so I wish the boys tomorrow all the best and good luck. And you were thinking it was going to be England, wasn't it? Oh no. Anyway, this hour coming up, of course, we have our great music. We know you love and we know you love it well. A couple of competitions, of course, beat the chime as well as our one-ish note wonder. And they're good ones this week. I think you should have a great time and they're not too smelly. The cheese on them is actually a rather nice cheddar. You're so hot. Cheese and meat. So you're all blue, but I can't take a chance on a trick like you. It's something I couldn't do. As I look in your eyes, I can read in your face that you're feeling so driving you off. Oh, my girl, they're only in cheddar. Well, I could dance with you, honey, if the play gets won't end. Cause you're more than no, like you're up. And I could chat with you, baby, that a little, baby. Cause you're more than no, like you're up. Take it easy. Take it easy. Better show that girl. That's no way to go. That's a mother, no. Take it easy. Take it easy. Try to cool it. Take it easy, girl. Take it nice and slow. That's a mother, no. I can't see what you want, but you seem pretty. To be searching for that kind of fun, so maybe I'm not the one. Now you're so cute, I like your style. And I don't know what you mean when you give me a pleasure. That's a lot of smile, but girl, you're only in cheddar. Well, I could dance with you, honey, if the play gets won't end. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Try to cool it. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Try to cool it. Take it nice and slow. That's a mother, no. Take it easy. Take it easy. Take it easy. Try to cool it. Take it nice and slow. That's a mother, no. Take it easy. Take it easy. Have a shot, please. Does your mother know? Take it easy. The question is, did she ever? Of course, when you became parents, you realized that actually all the stuff you did as a kid, they knew. Because what your kids do, you know. You're a kid, you think you've invented the biggest excuse of all time. Not realizing actually that your parents actually used the same excuse when they were kids. Oh, now it's time to call and witness me. From me, from me, from me, nothing to it. Just pick up that little telephone. We're sure that you can do it. And if I'm a betting man, which I am, I will bet that you, with your kids, have caught yourself saying things that your parents said to you, one way or another. And remember how the music of the day always sucked to your parents? And as we got older, the music of the day sucked. Beat the chime time now on The Big L International. Gonna play you a well-known song, oldie. And I am gonna replace a word or a phrase with Big Ben. ♪ Happy days, happy days ♪ I don't think this one is that difficult.

Hi, this is Phil Troll, just popped in to tell you about my extravaganza every Saturday night between 8 and 10 and repeated Thursday mornings between 1 and 3 with music from the 50s, 60s and 70s and occasional theme shows. Be there or be square. GGIF, thank goodness it's fun with Big L! [music] Let's go for a little walk, under the moon of love. Let's sit down and talk, under the moon of love. I want to tell you that I love that I love and I want you to be my girl and let's walk, let's walk. I love the moon of love. Be one looking to the left of me, under the moon of love. You're a shining so bright, happy, under the moon of love. I want to go, I want to go, all the time, all the time. Be one looking to the left of me, under the moon of love. Let's go for a little walk, under the moon of love. Let's sit down and talk, under the moon of love. I want to tell you that I love and I want you to be my girl and I want you to be my girl and I want you to be my girl. Let's go for a little walk, let's walk, let's walk. I love the moon of love. I want to tell you that I love and I want you to be my girl and I want you to be my girl and let's walk, let's walk. I love the moon of love, and then I talk to you, I whisper a banger in your ears. I'm gonna tell you life for friends, I know you can't lie to me. Let's go for a little walk, under the moon of love. Let's sit right down and talk, under the moon of love. Let's go for a little walk, under the moon of love. It was their only number one here, 1976, under the moon of love for a show, Wadi Wadi, a great cover band in the 1970s. They did however have a lot of top ten hits, so they did very well. I still think they're touring now, I saw some clip of them performing three steps to heaven, in Gilliam Kent, I think. Well today I'm going to be generous, it's not a one-note wonder, it's three-ish, actually maybe four when you think about it. What do you think that song is? I'm looking forward to actually playing that later on and sitting back in my big seat. Here's the number to call! e-mail studio@bigelradio.co.uk, call 01255 808113. Wherever you go the best songs are on the big hill, the heart and soul of rock and roll! [music] When I leave your door, when we say good night it hurts me more and more, 'cause girl it just ain't right to end a day like this, with no more than a kiss. Spend the night just dreaming of the things we're gonna miss, if I had my way, though we'd be together more and more each day. We'd go on forever, love us hand in hand, can't you understand? Girl you've got to be my woman, I've got to be your man, 'cause I can't get far without you, I need you for this day, the way I feel about you, there's nothing more to say 'cause I love you, girl I need you. And I can't get far without you, I need you for this day. [music] It's a sad affair, wasting precious time that you and I could share. Girl it's such a crime to hear you call my name, it's a crying shame, when we're not together then there's only time to play, though we'll come our day. Girl I do believe it's not too far away, when I can say goodnight and still be by your tie, to try the tears you cry, and now have all the love I need to keep me set in fine, 'cause I can't get far without you, I need you for this day, the way I feel about you, there's nothing more to say 'cause I love you, girl I need you. And I can't get far without you, I need you for this day, the way I feel about you, there's nothing more to say 'cause I love you, girl I need you. And I can't get far without you, I need you for this day, the way I feel about you, I need you for this day. The way I feel without you, the way I feel without you, the sound of big L. Music that's our middle name, wonderful, the IGL. This alico, when she got the word, she said I suppose you heard you, but it's, when I rushed to the window, and I looked outside, and I could hardly believe my life, there's a building in the window, and that it's a glass. I don't know why she's leaving, I don't know where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know, 'cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice. 24 years is waiting for a chance, to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second guess, now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice. We grew up together, took kids in the park, talked our initials deep in the bar, being Alice. Now she walks to the door, and her head held high, just for a moment, I caught her eye as a big limousine through the smoke. Alice tries to go, I don't know why she's leaving, I don't know where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know, 'cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice. 24 years is waiting for a chance, to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second guess, now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice. You can sell it, go back, and ask how I felt, and she said I know how to help, get over Alice. She said now Alice is gone, but I'm still here, you know I've been waiting for 24 years, and the big limousine disappeared. I don't know why she's leaving, I don't know where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know, 'cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice. 24 years is waiting for a chance. Every time I play that song I really hope I put the right version in, Smokey and Living Next Door to Alice. Congratulations to Paul, Patricia, nice to hear from you, this I guess early evening your time, lunch time my time, and Rick in Toronto, all of you. And Rick points out actually that the artist is Canadian, I did not know that, but I do now, which is great, 'cause we like to play music from 'Old as we know and we love', this is another chance to hear it, potentially the last chance. I call that the multiple note version. What do you think? Debbie Harry, Blondie, when I was a teenager, I fell in love with Debbie. Like many boys of my age, love the music, the albums, and the tracks like this one way or another. I'm gonna find you, I'm gonna get you, get you, get you one way or another, I'm gonna win you, I'm gonna get you, get you, get you one way or another, I'm gonna see you. I wanna make you, make you, make you, make you one day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meet ya, I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya. I will, right past your house, and if the lights are all down, I'll see you in the world. One way or another, I'm gonna find ya, I'm gonna get you, get you, get you one way or another, I'm gonna win you, I'll get you, I'll get you, one way or another, I'm gonna see ya, I'm gonna meet ya, make you, make you, make you one day, maybe next week, I'm gonna meet ya, I'll meet ya. And if the lights are all down, I'll follow your post downtown, see you in the world. (music) One way or another, I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna give you a slip, I'll slip on a hip or another, I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna shake ya, I'm gonna shake ya, one way or another, I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna drink ya, drink ya, drink ya, drink ya one way or another, I'm gonna lose ya, I'm gonna give you a slip. (music) 79, Debbie Harry, Belongty and one way or another, congratulations to our winners of the beat there, one note wonderrthing. John from Derbyshire, a very good late afternoon to you, you just popped in, you also got it right, so Rick, Patricia, Paul and John, you all got it, it was Frank Mills and the music box dancer. Big L, it's a blast! (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) It was 1979, music box dancer by Frank Mills and it did hit the American charts and became a number three hit, no evidence to ever charted in the UK, but I remember at the time I think Radio 2, Terry Wogan played it an awful lot, maybe Raymaul did too, but that was our one-ish, no wonder for this week, what shall we do next week, don't know yet. (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) So they say years ago there was an amusement park, call Palace Sates Park, on the banks of the River Hudson in New Jersey or New York, long gone unfortunately, but that was Freddy Boom Boom Cannon and it was number three in the American charts, 1962 and it did make the top 20 in the UK. It's another wonderful weekend. (music) Another forgotten song from the vinyl graveyard. (music) (music) (music) (music) (music) You'll know the group as the token, listen of course it was the Lion's Sleep tonight, but that was another one of their songs tonight. I fell in love. Well, we are out of time. Thank you for joining me for last hour. I'll be with you next week. Danny Mandam is coming up next followed by Paul Boss, then I'll be filled trial, live between eight and ten tonight on the Big L International. Tomorrow I'm driving to Asheville, North Carolina. It's about four hours there and four hours back as our youngest goes to a summer camp for the next week. Now what we used to do with the Boy Scouts and stuff, always remember going to the Yorkshire Dales in the Lake District for camp. Until next week, bye-bye. Here in my car, I go sing first of all, like a lot of my thoughts, it's the only way to live in cars. Here in my car, like another I see, I can listen to you, it gets me stapled for nice and cars. [Music] Here in my car, where do you get me down, when you visit the place, the pile of my door in the cars. Here in my car, when no one's died, it's a thing about leaving tonight, allow nothing seen as right in cars.
