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!

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.

Check w SoS. I just click things.

Yup! All has become apparent.

Nicely puzzled, RTD. That was a brain stimulating clue.

BeefReeferLives

Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but tear tracks would be on one’s face…

The Pretty Direct Facials is also the name of Peter North’s side-gig band.

Seeing him next month at Tanglewood

SonOfSpam

That’ll be great – saw him twice like 25-30 years ago.

I think his voice is still in good shape.

You guys ever see The Idol on HBO? Just the worst show ever . Anyway…

Let’s switch up genres and get specificity. Nose on the Grindstone, likely the first country song I’ve posted in request line ever

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

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

I know eyes are verboten, but figured this would be ok since “face” is in the title.
