Request Line: Treasure

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

Guest producer HUNTER RENFROW is seated in front of the soundboard, talking on his cellphone.  DJ 3000 looks on with an appearance of concern.

HUNTER RENFROW: …well I wish there’s something I could say to talk you out of it, Mr. Christensen, but I certainly understand.  Renfroco will always be available to provide leaf blowing and tree pruning services, should you…no, of course, of course.  I really appreciate all the business over the years.  Please take care.

HUNTER RENFROW hangs up the phone and sighs.

DJ 3000: YOU LOOK DOWN, BUDDY, WHAT’S WRONG?

HUNTER RENFROW: I had another Renfroco client cancel on me.  They said their water bill is getting out of control so they’re putting in turf.  So they won’t need me to mow the lawn anymore.

DJ 3000: WHAT IS RENFROCO?

HUNTER RENFROW: It’s my landscaping business.  It wouldn’t be that big of a deal – I’m going to be really busy with AP Calculus and Bio this year anyways – but with the salary cap situation at the Raiders this year money around the house has been pretty tight and I was hoping to help out with that.

DJ 3000: HMM.  PERHAPS THERE IS A WAY I CAN CONTRIBUTE?

HUNTER RENFROW: That’s really generous of you but I think the NFT craze is pretty much done, I don’t think that…

A panel on DJ 3000’s front console falls open and coins tumble out as though they were the jackpot from a slot machine.

HUNTER RENFROW: Jumping Jupiter!  Is that…is that real gold?

DJ 3000: IT SURE IS.  WHERE I COME FROM IT’S…UH…A LOT MORE ABUNDANT THAN IT IS HERE.

HUNTER RENFROW: “Where you come from…” wait, were you manufactured in South Africa? That doesn’t make any sense, we learned in World History that they were under embargo all the way until…well, we didn’t have to learn the date, but it was pretty recent and if you…

DJ 3000: [interrupts] HEY WOW LOOK AT THE TIME WE SHOULD PROBABLY GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD HAVE YOU GOT A TOPIC FOR US TODAY?

HUNTER RENFROW: I do now – how about “Treasure”?

DJ 3000: AS IN PRECIOUS METALS?

HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah, and gemstones and stuff.  I guess vases?  Basically anything you’d find in the Dragon’s Lair hoard.  Are there any songs about precious artwork or anything?

DJ 3000: NOT A LOT BUT THERE’S MORE THAN ENOUGH SONGS ABOUT GOLD AND DIAMONDS AND SUCH TO FILL OUR TIMESLOT.

HUNTER RENFROW: Great! Let’s get rolling.  Do me a favor and cue up a little Mr. Gnome?

 

Today’s theme is “Treasure”.  Songs about gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, etc. are all fair game.  We do NOT want songs about “money” though – we’ve already done that as a separate topic.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?4o723n74w and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Motorcrash” by the Sugarcubes was very quickly solved by BeefRiverLives.  Let the hunt begin!

American woman just took the lead with 4 laps to go. She is going to get swallowed up like a breakaway cyclist by the peloton. But good for her to take a lead for the hell of it anyway.

Horatio Cornblower

Aaaaaaand four East Africans just ran right by her.

Twas fun while it lasted.

SonOfSpam

Yes, but if they had called the race RIGHT THEN…

Annoucers at the women’s 10,000m run talking up the three Americans like they aren’t in a pack being led by three Ethiopians and three Kenyans.

Hate to tell you, folks, the Americans are running for 7th.

In an hour and a half the women’s beach volleyball final featuring Brazil (natch) and Canada (they plied their trade on the gentle shores of Lake Athabaska) will commence.

How did this get by everyone? As a kid I liked Elton John’s cover more than the original.

I’m posting this because I was on a ski getaway with the kids when they were younger and this song was playing on loudspeakers all over the hill far too often. It was fricking eerie.

I cry foul: in the song they specifically say she’s not talking about jewelry.

SonOfSpam

Oh sure. Then what could they possibly be talking about???

Don’t think the traction would be very good either. What good are they if your slipping and falling on your ass all the time?
