Request Line: Tennis Anyone?

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY…

DJ 3000 and various other robot entities remain trapped in a time loop inside the KDFO recording studio.  The collection of robots are all seated in front of the portal, watching raptly. A call of “fault!” is heard, and they all applaud politely. 

— [DOOR FLIES OPEN] —

JOHN DIMAGGIO: Hey guys, what’s…

ALL: SHHH!!!

JOHN DIMAGGIO: [whispers]…going on?

After a few bouncing noises, a cry of “out!” is heard through the portal.

DJ 3000: WE’RE WATCHING WIMBLEDON.

JOHN DIMAGGIO: Oh. [quietly watches until the next point ends] Aren’t you worried they’ll spot the portal?

PETUNIA: Maximilian figured out how to set up a bandpass filter on the portal so it only allows green light to transmit through.

MAXIMILIAN: THEN WE SET IT UP AGAINST ONE OF THE BACKSTOPS. PEOPLE MIGHT SEE A LITTLE SHIMMER IF THEY LOOK IN THE RIGHT SPOT BUT THAT’S ABOUT IT.

ALL watch the next point, then flinch slightly as a mishit causes an errant ball to fly in the general direction of their vantage point.

RUSSELL WILSON: Just have to hope a ball doesn’t hit this exact spot and come through.

PED-209: IT’D BE A NICE SOUVENIR, THOUGH

The game has ended and a changeover has begun, so everyone resumes speaking normally.

YETI: Souvenirs are what one obtains at the [sneers] French Open, not here on Wimbledon’s hallowed grounds.

MAXIMILIAN: WHAT’S IT CALLED HERE, THEN?

YETI: [stuffily] It’s known as a “keepsake”.

DJ 3000: [sighs] WE SHOULD PROBABLY GET THINGS READY FOR REQUEST LINE, THOUGH.

JOHNNY 2.5: HAVE WE GOT A TOPIC?

RQBOCOP: NOT YET, NO.

JIM NANCE 081-RD-92C: Might I suggest “tennis”?

DJ 3000: SUGGEST IT ALL YOU LIKE, PRETTY SURE THERE AREN’T 100+ SONGS OUT THERE ABOUT TENNIS.

YETI: What if we expanded it to “the language of tennis”?

DJ 3000: GO ON…

YETI: Songs with words that might be associated with tennis. Like “court”.

PED-209: OR “VOLLEY”?

PETUNIA: How about “spin”?

JOHNNY 2.5: “ADVANTAGE”, MAYBE?

JOHN DIMAGGIO: Heh heh, “deuce”.

MAXIMILIAN: “SERVE”.

RUSSELL WILSON: “Fault”.

RQBOCOP: “LOB”.

DJ 3000: ENOUGH, ENOUGH. OKAY, LET’S RUN WITH IT.  I’LL GET US STARTED AND WE’LL SEE WHERE THIS GOES.

 

Today’s theme is “tennis”.  We’re looking for songs whose titles include the words “tennis”, “court”, “volley”, “spin”, “advantage”, “deuce”, “serve”, “fault” or “lob”. Please use ONLY these words (ones like “love” would make the topic way too broad).  Let me know if you’re stumped and I’ve got a few more options I can open up.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?n0t4R0cK and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Mr. November” by The National went unsolved.  Let’s get to it!
