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!

THIS SCOTTISH DEFENSE, I CALL SOPHIA KNIGHT BECAUSE THEY’RE GETTING FULLY PENETRATED IN UNDER 15 MINUTES OF ME WATCHING
The kilts make easy “dry bumming” access ,, ppl forget that
That’s a great first half for Scotland, in that I picked them to lose this game.
Oh shit! Do we have a pool going? What’s the link?

(by which I mean you are correct – I trust the clue makes sense now?)
Yup! All has become apparent.
Nicely puzzled, RTD. That was a brain stimulating clue.
Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but tear tracks would be on one’s face…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M8decTFvuc
I don’t think it’s that much of a stretch! It’s a pretty direct facial reference.
The Pretty Direct Facials is also the name of Peter North’s side-gig band.

Puzzle song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZfJIC_ACl4
No, but a little hint – the word “faces” is included in the answer (i.e. not “face” or any other part of the face).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XrmPibshcg
Does it have to be in the title or will the lyrics work?

GRUMBLE GRUMBLE THESE REQUEST LINE CRITERIA I CALL THEM YOUR MOM BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOSE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE
/by which I mean yes, lyrics are fair game this week
2-0 Germany already? Odd, usually Scots are stingy giving up things
There was almost a PK for Germany as well, VAR moved it outside the box.

Puzzle song?

No, but I feel like you are getting closer.
It turns out r-ping and defiling everyone’s precious childhood memories and then asking for money doesn’t always work.

Based on these first fifteen minutes of Germany-Scotland I expect we’re going to be making a lot of William Wallace jokes today.
Huh, I didn’t know Longshanks was German.

Seeing him next month at Tanglewood
That’ll be great – saw him twice like 25-30 years ago.
I think his voice is still in good shape.
Puzzle?

Puzzle song?

Nope! Glad the clue wasn’t too easy this week.
It’s a stumper alright!
I think it’ll make perfect sense once it’s solved.

Only one Faces song so far? Let’s correct that.

Great opening couple lines. Rhyming “Rita” with “sweeter” is good stuff.

We saw a mango tree in the neighborhood one time – nowhere near the property line. There was a person outside so we asked them “hey, is that a mango tree?” hoping they would offer us one, but they just said “yup, it sure is.”
He was all like:

I know eyes are verboten, but figured this would be ok since “face” is in the title.
Yeah, I was actually going to post this myself to answer that exact question!
