Request Line: My face! My valuable face!

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

The PRODUCER sits at the soundboard, looking relaxed but somewhat distant.  DJ 3000 remains in his usual location.

DJ 3000: SO, HEY.

PRODUCER: [glances at him] What’s up?

DJ 3000: I WAS WONDERING…EVER SINCE THE SUPER BOWL, HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING DIFFERENT ABOUT ME?

PRODUCER: The software updates? Yeah, I mean I guess I’ve noticed one or two little things, but I rarely pay attention to that stuff.  I always hate when the software guys muck around with things that are already working.

DJ 3000: TELL ME ABOUT IT.  BUT I WAS ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT MY APPEARANCE.

PRODUCER: Your appearance?

DJ 3000 loads to a photograph of the station staff from the summer barbecue in 2023 (oh wait, he was in the time loop that summer, let’s say 2022) to his main display.

DJ 3000: NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT?

PRODUCER: Not really.

DJ 3000: HMM, HOW ABOUT THIS?

DJ 3000 loads his MySpace profile photo from 2008.

PRODUCER: Um…

DJ 3000: COME ON, YOU SERIOUSLY DON’T SEE THE DIFFERENCE?

PRODUCER: Oh! One of your buttons fell off.

DJ 3000: IT DIDN’T “FALL OFF” – DO YOU SEE SOME HOLE WHERE IT USED TO BE?  DO YOU SERIOUSLY NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT YOUR COWORKER OF EIGHT YEARS LOOKS LIKE?

PRODUCER: I mean…

DJ 3000: JESUS, DUDE.  SO I GUESS WE ALL LOOK THE SAME TO YOU, HUH?

PRODUCER: Oh, you want to play that game? Pull that company photo back up and tell me which of the guys in it is Shankar.

DJ 3000: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THERE’S THREE DIFFERENT DUDES NAME SHANKAR.

PRODUCER: Fair enough, but which of them is Shankar M?

DJ 3000: UM…

A spinning wheel flashes onto DJ 3000’s console as he attempts to stall for time.

PRODUCER: Ha! Busted! I thought so!

DJ 3000: LISTEN, I DON’T HAVE GOOD TRAINING SET DATA FOR INDIAN FACES.

PRODUCER: Oh, bullshit…but you know what? That gives me an idea for Request Line.  How about “faces”?

DJ 3000: SONGS ABOUT FACES?

PRODUCER: Yeah, there should be enough, right?

DJ 3000: [runs a quick calculation] SHOULD BE FINE.

PRODUCER: Would you like to do the honor and get us started?

DJ 3000: DON’T MIND IF I DO.  HOW ABOUT A SO-CALLED “GREATEST HIT” FROM BANSHEE AND THE SIOUX?

PRODUCER: [confused] Banshee and the…wait.  I…

Today’s theme is faces.  We’re looking for songs specifically about faces and facial features other than eyes (things like cheeks, noses, chins are fine, but eyes are NOT since we’ve already done that as a separate topic).  Let’s open this one way up and included band names as well.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?5c0r(HbL0wTurN and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Black Coffee in Bed” by Squeeze was solved by BeefReeferLives (and later – independently – by GumbyGirl!) Here’s lookin’ at you, kid!

I sense some Canadia band erasure and I will not stand for it! (not more than five minutes, anyway)

Got arrested at the Mardi Gras for jumping on a float
My man MCA’s got a beard like a billy goat

Not a Request Line draft but here’s a Pittsburgh-centric exchange I had about food on social website. The subject was “chipped ham”

ME: “Chipped ham? Never heard of it. Creamed chipped beef on toast? If you’ve ever served in the US military you know what that’s called: SOS ($hit on a shingle). Although in the US Navy (my service) it was known as ‘creamed foreskins.'”

YINZER #1: “chip chopped, or “chipped” ham is a Pittsburgh PA thing. Yinzers stand up. 152 412”

YINZER #2: ” yinz get chipped ham sandwiches from Isalys?”

DFO Yinzers (you know who you are) please chime in.

BeefReeferLives

Yup. Had it for lunch at East Hempfield Elementary (in Greensburg, I think they changed the name for obvious reasons) quite a few times. It’s basically BBQ sauce on thinly sliced ham.

Brick Meathook

That sandwich looks pretty darn good

BeefReeferLives

It is! Especially when made with a ham that has good smoke flavor.

(didn’t remember seeing it on the webpage, but having it with thinly sliced onion is a must, IMHO)

Ok, so the first two words mean the horses go hungry, and the third word is the gay actor who played Spock a few times/…

Originally this song was called “Ass to Ass” but then the Requiem For a Dream guy threatened to sue. Anyway, Eva Cassidy’s an angel.

You haven’t heard this song til you’ve heard Paul Anka do it.

I think I’ll go to the gym so as to free up drinking time later; t’would appear the Scots are done for.

So many recordings of this song, so let’s go with the late great Chet Baker

The wrinkles in my forehead
Show the miles I’ve put behind me
They continue to remind how fast I’m growin’ old
Guess I’ll die with this fever in my soul

‘Went out walking through the wood the other day
Can’t you see the furrows in my forehead?
What tender days, we had no secrets hid away
Now it seemed about a hundred years ago’

This soccer match must be played in Falkirk because Scotland is being ran off the field.
