INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

The recording studio at KDFO looks much as we’d remember it from the before-time.  There is no evidence of the PRODUCER’s long descent into quarantine madness, or of DJ 3000’s attempts to hack through Google’s firewall so he can communicate with the supposedly sentient AI chatbot.  The PRODUCER enters the room from the staff kitchen, carrying a jar of olives, a pair of bottles, and a cocktail shaker filled with ice. 

DJ 3000: IT SURE WAS NICE OF THE STATION MANAGEMENT TO APPROVE YOUR BUDGET REQUEST TO RESTOCK THE LIQUOR CABINET.

PRODUCER: You know after the moonshine incident I wasn’t sure I’d ever have any interest in drinking again.

DJ 3000: GLAD TO SEE YOU DECIDED TO TAKE A FLYING LEAP FROM THE WAGON.

PRODUCER: A single martini won’t hurt.  I hope our guest shows up soon, though, it’s almost…

— [door flies open] —

AMY TRASK: Hello, boys!

PRODUCER: Ms. Trask!  So glad you could make it.

AMY TRASK: [looks him over] Please, call me Amy.

PRODUCER: [holds up cocktail shaker] Can I fix you a martini?

AMY TRASK: [looks at watch] You realize it’s just past eleven o’clock in the morning…

PRODUCER: My apologies, I just figured…

AMY TRASK: That means you can fix me TWO martinis! Ha ha ha!

PRODUCER: Will do.

AMY TRASK: [voice turns sultry] I do have a bit of a special request, though.

PRODUCER: Go on.

AMY TRASK: Make it dirty.

PRODUCER: I…um…okay.

AMY TRASK: [looks around] So is it just you and me here in the studio?  Because I don’t mind an audience, you know.

DJ 3000: [CHUCKLES]

AMY TRASK: [notices the machine, sidles over] Well who’s this six-foot slab of silicon? [extends her hand] I don’t think we’ve had the pleasure.

DJ 3000: [flashes console in greeting] I AM DJ 3000.

AMY TRASK: [licks her lips] I see.  Say…I hope you don’t mind, I’ve always wanted to ask: can a robot fall in love with a human?

DJ 3000: I AM NOT PROGRAMMED TO FALL IN LOVE.  HOWEVER, MORE RECENTLY…

AMY TRASK: [eyes the machine as though it were a twenty one year-old lifeguard] Because I’m starting to think the reverse might be possible.

DJ 3000: [LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

The PRODUCER hands AMY TRASK a dirty martini.  She sips it, and nods her approval.

PRODUCER: We were wondering if you’d thought of a topic for Request Line today.

AMY TRASK: I have.  Predators.

PRODUCER: Are we talking about sexual predators, or natural ones?

AMY TRASK: [sips martini] Yes.

PRODUCER: Well all right.  DJ 3000, you want to cue up something we can lead in with?

DJ 3000: I’VE GOT JUST THE THING.

AMY TRASK: And not to rush you fellows, but let’s get this show on the road – I heard Zach Wilson was in town and it’s been a while since I’ve…taken a jet, if you catch my drift.

Today’s theme is: Predators.  We’re looking for songs about creatures that prey upon men.  This can refer to women (or men), but it also can refer to natural predators like lions, tigers, and sharks.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR4h56N1t00H5” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh. The clue for last week’s puzzle song was “well it’s all right” which referred to the puzzle song of “End of the Line” by the Traveling Wilburys.  Have at it!
