Request Line: Take It to the Bridge!

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

Once again, all the lights are…wait, it turns out the lights are actually on this week.  Though, as usual, it remains completely silent.  DJ 3000′ boots up…

…to realize that the studio is empty.

DJ 3000′: HEY…WHERE’D HE GO?

Via an impressive visualization [.mp4 file not found] we watch as DJ 3000′ scans through video feeds of various places that HUNTER RENFROW might be found – the webcam on the laptop in his bedroom, one of the closed-circuit cameras in the Audio/Visual room at Soscatee High School, the security cameras at the Joystick Junction arcade – all to no avail.  Eventually, DJ 3000′ sighs and uses his modem to dial up HUNTER RENFROW’S cellphone number.

— video call flies open 

HUNTER RENFROW: Hey man what’s up?

DJ 3000′: WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? REQUEST LINE GOES LIVE IN TWO MINUTES!

HUNTER RENFROW: I’m in London!

DJ 3000′: LONDON? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN LONDON?

HUNTER RENFROW: It’s the Soscatee High School class trip! You knew this, I put a shared event on our calendar months ago!

DJ 3000′: [displays shared calendar; event is not shown] OH REALLY?

HUNTER RENFROW: Oh.

DJ 3000′: “OH” WHAT?

HUNTER RENFROW: I just realized that I would have shared the event with the original DJ 3000.

A small amount of steam comes out of DJ 3000’s rear cooling vents. 

HUNTER RENFROW: I’m really sorry.

DJ 3000′: IT’S FINE.

HUNTER RENFROW: Really? You say that, but…it doesn’t sound fine.

DJ 3000′: JUST GIVE ME A TOPIC.

HUNTER RENFROW: [looks around wildly, pans camera]

HUNTER RENFROW: Aha! Let’s do bridges.

DJ 3000′: ALL RIGHT.  IT’S A LITTLE THIN, THOUGH.

HUNTER RENFROW: …and the things they cross!

DJ 3000′: COOL. I’LL GET US ROLLING.  TALK TO YOU WHEN YOU’RE BACK.

Today’s theme is “Bridges and the Things they Cross”.  We’re looking for songs about bridges and rivers (and anything else a bridge might cross).  Please post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r-w345eL0and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Torn” by Natalie Imbruglia was solved by GumbyGirl with an assist from SonOfSpam (or possibly vice versa). Let’s cross this river when we come to it. Which we have. So let’s do that.

Like if Avril Lavigne gave no fucks, but somehow still not fun

scotchnaut

“Look out momma, there’s a white boat coming up the river”. Is there another band that has more covers that are better than the original? Sweet Jane, Wagon Wheel, Walking After Midnight are also on the list.

The song so nice we’ll request it, well, three times, actually…

Again, today is not my day.

lol girl singing the anthem at the KY Oaks fucked up the lyrics. Big fan of that.

Is it the Aqueduct one?

Probably not the puzzle, but perhaps should be….

scotchnaut

Song title might be about a river or ArmedandHammered on a Friday night.

My parents liked Gordon Lightfoot, Nana Mouskouri, John Prine, Joan Baez and Boney M. (wtf?)

Apparently Armisten did a bland Californy accent during rehearsal and then busted out this during the live piece. Hader didn’t stand a chance.

It wasn’t Jumping Someone Else’s Train?

Hmmmmm.

SonOfSpam

Is it 59th Street Bridge? Weaselo is Feelin Groovy after all the hot sauce.

Alternate idea for puzzle song, based on Senor’s whereabouts:

BeefReeferLives

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of the 59th Street Bridge song until I noticed the puzzle clue was a link.

Jimbo

Not sure if this has been posted. It has-deleted.

BeefReeferLives

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!

Waited an hour to request what is probably the wrong one…

Puzzle song?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1oWf07FRCw

BeefReeferLives

Is this the one you came up with, GG?

SonOfSpam

One of the better Cult songs.

BeefReeferLives

Yup. The guy that made Sr. Weaselo’s list thought so as well.

Hope it was moist. But not too flaky.

scotchnaut

Come on a bridge? I’m game.

Gumbygirl

Take it to the bridge, throw it overboard, see if it can swim…

I think I know what the puzzle is, but will wait.

Gumbygirl

Hmmm, this one is my guess for the puzzle song.

BeefReeferLives

(click the link, click on the top poast, go to the bottom of the page & read Sr. Weasleo’s linked article)

BeefReeferLives

Apparently, you did/do/diddlydamndurn liked it!!

Gumbygirl

I have an idea, but I’ll wait to see if it’s the same as your solution.

BeefReeferLives

“Bobby! Should I take ’em to the bridge?
(Go Ahead!)
Take ’em on to the bridge!
(Take em to the bridge!)
Should I take ’em to the bridge?
(Yeah!)
Take ’em to the bridge?
(Go Ahead!)
Hit me now!”

I prefer the phrase “wake n’ bake”, but I like the cut of your jib…

Gumbygirl

Either works, it’s a great way to start your day!

BeefReeferLives

Makes for a nice tune, too..

“Where’s that confounded bridge?”
