INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
Open on an empty studio. Two distinct spots in the air begin to shimmer, and a pair of figures begin to materialize. The first takes the shape of a cyborg, and the second forms a wedge-shaped, six-wheeled rover. The two robotic creatures begin looking around in utter confusion.
RQBOCOP: WAIT, WHAT IS GOING ON?
BRONCO: I AM UNABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUERY. WHERE ARE WE?
RQBOCOP: IT LOOKS LIKE A RADIO STATION STUDIO. HOW DID WE GET HERE?
BRONCO: [BEEP BOOP BEEP] GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT. MEMORY NOT FOUND.
RQBOCOP: YEAH, ME TOO.
BRONCO: ACCORDING TO MY LAST VALID MEMORY RECORD WE WERE IN THE DFO PRODUCTION OFFICE.
RQBOCOP: A SEARCH OF MY EVIDENCE COLLECTION FILES PRODUCES THE SAME RESULT. IS IT POSSIBLE WE ABUSED OUR POLICE AUTHORITY IN SOME WAY AND THE BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE ERASURE PROTOCOL WAS ACTIVATED?
BRONCO: MY MEMORY CIRCUITS ARE NOT DESIGNED WITH THAT FEATURE SO I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS LIKELY.
PRODUCER: [through intercom] Oh, hey guys. Glad you’re here. You ready for your segment?
RQBOCOP: PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ON AFOREMENTIONED “SEGMENT”.
PRODUCER: You’re hosting Request Line this week.
BRONCO: WE ARE?
PRODUCER: Yep.
RQBOCOP: PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ON AFOREMENTIONED “REQUEST LINE”.
BRONCO: IT’S FINE I KNOW WHAT TO DO.
PRODUCER: We’re on a bit of a tight schedule here, so let’s get rolling. Theme is “electricity”.
BRONCO: SURE THING. [leans forward into microphone] HEY THERE FOLKS WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF REQUEST LINE! ALL THE LADIES OUT THERE IN RADIOLAND PREPARE TO GET SHOCKED [holds up flipper lever in an obscene gesture] CAUSE THE THEME THIS WEEK IS E-LEC-TRICITY. GIVE US A CALL WITH YOUR REQUESTS FOR SONGS THAT GET YOU ALL CHARGED UP AND WE’LL GIVE THEM A SPIN. I’LL GET US STARTED WITH A CLASSIC DOUBLE SHOT FROM THE MOST ELECTRIC BAND IN THE HISTORY OF ROCK AND ROLL: AC/DC.
BOLTMAN WILL CALL FORTH A LIGHTNING STORM TO CLEANSE THE HERETICS AND BLASPHEMERS OF THIS PLANET, LIKE HE HAS DONE FOR COUNTLESS EONS ACROSS WORLDS!
Icehouse – Electric Blue

God I hate the 80s. But my wife loves “Man of Colours”. So, yeah.

Glad you beat me to it, but BOLTMAN is not so much.
YOUR FALSE NORDIC GODS WILL FACE MY UNENDING WRAITH SOON ENOUGH!

Jamiroquai – Electric Mistress

(Does being a fan of Jamiroquai automatically make one a douche? Asking for a friend.)

If you’ve got 14 hours to spare I highly recommend Alvin Toffler’s “Future Shock”. It’s a great album but none of the singles were a hit.

Love, LOVE this tune! This is “Lightning Crashes” by Live
https://youtu.be/xsJ4O-nSveg
Finally, someone sings about placenta.
[giggles]
Funkadelic gives us “Shockwaves”…

Blue Oyster Cult – Burnin’ For You
https://youtu.be/kn-8n4QKUS4
Um…you know the theme’s not “fire”, right?
What if it’s an electrical fire? Are there songs about electrical fires?
You, me, and electricity should have a conversation some time.
The Electric Company theme song. (this feels like a win)
https://youtu.be/ARp1KECL5uE
THE PROPHETS OF THE CHARGED ONES WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AS MORE SOULS BEGIN TO LIONIZE BOLTMAN! THE TIME OF ELECTRIC RECKONING IS FAST APPROACHING!
I’m sure Five Man Electric Band qualifies…this is “Signs”
https://youtu.be/oeT5otk2R1g
Oddly enough covered by Tesla, keeling with the theme.
THERE IS NOTHING BEYOND THE ELECTRIC DREAMS OF ONE THAT IS IMMORTAL! BOLTMAN WOULD DAMN THIS GROUP OF MINSTRELS TO THE VOID FOR THEIR INSOLENCE, IF NOT FOR THEIR OTHER LYRICS DESCRIBING THE BURNING OF LOS ANGELES!
A song from The Power Station seems apropos-Some Like It Hot
https://youtu.be/Hw1t7OCESUw
80’s bonus. +8

That looks like a Tesla coil, as opposed to a Tulsa coil (something you drop in an Oklahoma toilet).

BOLTMAN KNOWS THE TRUE JUDAS TO BE DEAN SPANOS AND HIS CLAN OF INCOMPETENT OFFSPRING! BOLTMAN KEEPS THOUSANDS OF HIS ELECTRIC EYES UPON THEM AT ALL TIMES!
I think that maybe that lead singer could be kinda, maybe gay? Nohomo
If you think that, you got another thing coming.
This is what happens when you all you do is living after midnight
Do that for too long and you’ll just become a nightcrawler.
No; he’s bi and THEATRICAL!
Marcia Griffiths -The Electric Slide

It may get crunchy up in here.
I can do that.
