INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
The recording studio at KDFO looks much as we’d remember it from the before-time, except everything seems to shimmer due to the heat in the room. There is no evidence of the PRODUCER’s long descent into quarantine madness, or of DJ 3000’s work adding appropriately themed music to clips of Josh Hawley racing through the halls of the Capitol to avoid a bloodthirsty mob that he originally raised a fist in support of. The PRODUCER is seated at his desk, waving himself with a manila folder.
PRODUCER: It’s too hot today.
DJ 3000: YOU…SAID…IT…BUDDY…
PRODUCER: Why are you speaking so slowly?
DJ 3000: MY…PROCESSOR…IS…RUNNING…VERY…INEFFICIENTLY…RIGHT…NOW…
PRODUCER: Ah. Did you talk to station management about getting the air conditioning fixed?
DJ 3000: I…PUT…IN…A…REQUEST…TO…FACILITIES…AND…MAINTENANCE…
PRODUCER: And?
DJ 3000: THEY…SAID…THEY’LL…BE…HERE…ON…MONDAY…
PRODUCER: Oh, and did you hear back from Budda Baker?
DJ 3000: YES…HE…SAID…HE…CAN’T…MAKE…IT…
PRODUCER: Well that’s disappointing. Did he say why?
DJ 3000: THE…TIRES…ON…HIS…CAR…MELTED…
PRODUCER: Oh, wow.
DJ 3000: HE…SAID…IT’S…UNSAFE…TO…DRIVE…
PRODUCER: Well, obviously. So I guess we’re flying solo today.
DJ 3000: IT’S…TOO…HOT…TO…FLY…
PRODUCER: No, I meant…
DJ 3000: THE…AIR…IS…TOO…THIN. THE…PLANES…CAN…NOT…REACH…THE…REQUIRED…GROUND…SPEED…TO…LIFT…OFF…
PRODUCER: …metaphorically. This heat really slows down your reaction times too, huh?
DJ 3000: …
PRODUCER: [waits patiently]
DJ 3000: …YES.
PRODUCER: All right, well let’s try to turn some lemons into lemonade. Let’s make today’s theme “the summer sun”. We’re looking for songs that explicitly mention “summer” or “the sun” in their titles. Once you’ve got the filter parameters updated, please get us started with “Cruel Summer” by Bananarama.
DJ 3000: WILL…
DJ 3000: …
DJ 3000: …
DJ 3000: …
DJ 3000: …
DJ 3000: …
DJ 3000: DO.
Today’s theme is: Summer Sun. We’re looking for songs that mention “summer” or “the sun” in their title. Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3Ck7StH3w0rLd” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh. The clue for last week’s puzzle song was “krahSgnigoohS” which referred to the puzzle song of “Shooting Shark” by the Blue Oyster Cult. Have at it!
First time I heard this I was 11 and I have loved it every since.

You’re SO CLOSE.
Wrong version? Fine. Thought it was enough to know he wrote it…

It’s so sad that it took me until today to figure out that when you write the standard:
“Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3Ck7StH3w0rLd” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.”
The clue to the puzzle is in the URL after the “v=”.
I swear I’m not normally this dense
You’re not dense. I had no fucking idea.
I’m still confused.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeJVTimlyWk&ab_channel=vanceman2009
oh my god
I’ve always been upset that they don’t actually point to a video
If I hadn’t gotten myself so distracted with yard stuff and been forced to rush things I would have worked this into the intro.
Self contained double shot:

IMHO, this version blows the Seals and Croft one right out of the water. (specially given the Hendrixesque shreddage at the end)

Great pick. No idea why it got caught in the site’s filter.
Got caught in the filter? Seemed to pop right up when I posted it.

Is the Death Penalty in play for his sentence?
No, 60 days, but if I’m the warden, he gets vegan food and they play hippie protest music nonstop. Or they fly in Hillary Clinton to give a dissertation on the progressive and women’s rights movement while he is strapped to a chair like “A Clockwork Orange”.
He could get up to a year, if I understand things correctly.
They need to strip him, scrub him with a wire brush, and delouse him. They should sell tickets!
