Request Line: Flings

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 remains empty.

DJ 3000′: [checks calendar] OH, THAT’S RIGHT, HE’S STILL OFF IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Suddenly, the “incoming call” button on DJ 3000”s console lights up. 

— video call flies open 

HUNTER RENFROW: Greetings from Myrtle Beach!

DJ 3000′: HEY THERE.  HOW’S THE VACATION RENTAL?

HUNTER RENFROW: It’s great!  We’re just a five minute walk away from the beach, and there’s a shuttle bus that brings you straight to the boardwalk. Check it out!

HUNTER RENFROW pans the camera around to show his surroundings.

HUNTER RENFROW: They’ve got this vintage arcade here that takes quarters so you can pretty much play all day.  I’m getting really good at Galaga.

DJ 3000′: SOUNDS LIKE FUN. SO WHAT PROMPTED THE CALL? DID YOU NEED A BREAK FROM MAKING OUT WITH COUSIN HAZEL?

HUNTER RENFROW: Cut it out, she’s not even here. I called because I, uh, need a favor.

DJ 3000′: [sighs] OH BOY.

HUNTER RENFROW: So I met this girl…

DJ 3000′: OF COURSE YOU DID. SHE’S FROM MYRTLE BEACH, SHE’S A MODEL, YOU WOULDN’T KNOW HER.

HUNTER RENFROW: Actually, she is local.

DJ 3000′: [engages BRO module] IS SHE HOT?

HUNTER RENFROW: She’s okay.  You know that episode of Futurama where President Nixon gives everyone a three hundred dollar tax rebate, and Professor Farnsworth uses it on an age-reversing therapy and starts hanging out with…

DJ 3000′: [displays spinning wheel icon]

HUNTER RENFROW: …okay so you know the girl he starts dating, April? She looks like her.

DJ 3000′ pulls up the image on his main display.

DJ 3000′: WAIT…BEFORE OR AFTER THE TREATMENT WEARS OFF?

HUNTER RENFROW: Um…kind of in between. Anyways, she’s really into music.  So I was trying to impress her and I told her that I work for KDFO and she said “terrestrial radio sucks, it’s all just corporate playlist crap these days” and I was like “not us, we broadcast whatever we want,” and she was like “you’re so full of shit, prove it,” and I was like “all right, let’s make it a bet,” and then she said that if I could get you to play her request then she’d go watch the sunset with me from the pier. And she heavily implied that making out was on the table.

DJ 3000′: OH HUNTER, YOU’RE GOING TO BREAK POOR COUSIN HAZEL’S HEART.

HUNTER RENFROW: Shut up! Can you do it?

DJ 3000′: PLAY HER REQUEST? SURE, AS LONG AS IT FITS THE THEME. WHICH I PRESUME YOU CAME UP WITH AND FORGOT TO EMAIL ME.

HUNTER RENFROW: Actually, I did.  It’s “flings”.

DJ 3000′: LIKE, VACATION ROMANCES?

HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah.  And any relationship that has a time limit.  Like soldiers going off to war and stuff.

DJ 3000′: COOL, THAT SHOULD WORK. SO WHAT’S HER REQUEST?

HUNTER RENFROW: She said it’s a really obscure Swedish band and you’ve probably never heard of them.

DJ 3000′: I HAVE DATABASE ACCESS TO PRETTY MUCH EVER BAND IN THE HISTORY OF RECORDED MUSIC, SO THAT SEEMS DOUBTFUL. WHAT GENRE?

HUNTER RENFROW: Well, she’s really into vintage punk.  And vintage techno.  And vintage techno-punk.

DJ 3000′: AH. SO SOMETHING BY THE NEKTROMANTIKS? OR THE PROPELLERHEADS? OR MAYBE SOMETHING FROM THAT COLLABORATION THAT SHITPOPE DID WITH THE HORSEHEAD COLLECTIVE?

HUNTER RENFROW: She says they’re called “Ace of Base.”

DJ 3000′: DUDE.

HUNTER RENFROW: So you have heard of them.

DJ 3000′: [sighs]

HUNTER RENFROW: Come on, man. Please?

DJ 3000′: UGH, FINE, I’LL GIVE IT A SPIN.  BUT YOU OWE ME.  BIG TIME.

Today’s theme is “Flings”.  We’re looking for songs about short-term and/or time-limited relationships.  Please post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHU(k!NrUn” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Hey Man Nice Shot” by Filter was solved by SonOfSpam. We’ve only got tonight, so let’s make the most of it!

“I once got busy in a Burger King Bathroom”

Dammit Taj! Get out of my brain! I was just looking this up!

I haven’t heard this one in yonks!

Horatio Cornblower

Oh my god, this job would be great if it weren’t for the fucking clients.

Horatio Cornblower

Me: “Hey, I can’t talk to both of you about this case at the same time because one of you is a client and the other isn’t and that would destroy attorney-client privilege”

Client & Spouse: “Oh, OK, have a good weekend”

/goes back to untangling 1,000 pages of medical records prior attorney never did anything with
//phone rings

Me: “Hoy, hoy”

Client & Spouse & Son: “Hi, can you explain everything about this case, including the legal strategy you wouldn’t talk to us together just an hour ago to our son? He’s in insurance!”

Me: “Are you people orangutans?”

BeefReeferLives

Well, this fits in nicely with the theme, as that sounds like a attorney/client relationship that is not going to last..

Horatio Cornblower

Well it’s definitely a short-term relationship in this song.

Because he’s going to kill her, you see.

Gumbygirl

Yeah, but then they’ll be immortal, or so he claims. I’m pretty sure he’s not actually a vampire, he’s just trying to lure her behind the boathouse to show her his dark secret.

BeefReeferLives

“All the night life and the parties
And temptation and deceit
The order of the day
Well it’s a bloody Mary mornin’
‘Cause I’m leavin’ baby somewhere in LA”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnP4fb3mgbU&list=RDSnP4fb3mgbU&start_radio=1

Horatio Cornblower

Not a big fan of the song, but “3 O’Clock/She knocks on my door/She’s drunk again/and looking to score” seems like it was made for this topic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Abrn8aVQ76Q

Also I don’t really see what the problem is here.

BeefReeferLives

“See, you’re the kinda person that believes in makin’ out once
Love ’em and leave ’em fast
I guess I must be dumb ’cause you had a pocket full of horses
Trojan and some of them used”

What I did on my summer vacation, specifically the night of July 3.

  1. Had a few beers in the afternoon
  2. Had a few bourbons with my brother in law.
  3. Went to the block party.
  4. Drank more beers.
  5. Realized I was getting fucked up, had three shots of Fireball.
  6. For some reason I poured myself a vodka rocks.
  7. My little sister saw this and made me drink a bottle of water.
  8. Had three tequila shots.
  9. Did my patented “Monkey Walk” on the dance floor (My niece has this video.)
  10. Went into my sons’ room and blathered for 10 minutes, ending with I love you guys.

Next day, with no hangover, was given a stern lecture from Mrs. Fozz. “You get this weird look when you drink liquor, and you walk on an angle. If you want to get shitfaced off beer, that’s fine, but you’re not setting a good example for your sons.”

jjfozz

Truth.

I was also teaching them how to communicate.

BeefReeferLives

You got all good and liquored up without destroying public or private property, getting in a fight, or getting arrested.

You’ve set a sterling example for the young ‘uns, IMHO.

BeefReeferLives

‘Let the devil take tomorrow
Lord, tonight I need a friend
Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow’s out of sight
And it’s sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night’

Jesus, Rikki, that man has a family.

Surprised no one has played that song from grease.

I refuse to give that scientologist more views, so use your imagination

SonOfSpam

You have to be pretty gay to act all gay opposite Olivia Newton John, but Travolta managed to do it.

Brocky

I still say this song should have been playing during the final scene of endgame

I know what I said damn it!

Brocky

Either I’m pulling a blair witch, or I’ve gotten insanely lucky with this pick:

Horatio Cornblower

That’s my ringtone for Mrs. Horatio. Because she loves the song, not because I do.

Brocky

I love the singing Ed verison

SonOfSpam

Yet another good thing that the Red Sox ruined.

SonOfSpam

Didn’t mean that, as I have not yet determined whether she is ruined.

Horatio Cornblower

Oh, she is.

Horatio Cornblower

Tim Naehring knows what he did.

BeefReeferLives

Hey 2Pack,

Sounds like you got one in limbo. Does it say “Waiting for Approval”?

It’s the website, not something you said, I think.

I get the same thing, for some reason, whenever I try to post something by Booker T & the MGs.

Horatio Cornblower

Fun fact, at an Old 97’s concert I had a girl singing this song along with the band while making a disturbing amount of eye contact with me. Did that ever happen when I wasn’t married? HAHAHA, of course not.

She lived in Myrtle Beach; you wouldn’t know her.

Horatio Cornblower

OK, managed to Blair Witch that by 2 minutes and didn’t know it was the puzzle song.

But the live version is cooler so I win.

SonOfSpam

Liz Phair can be posted twice, that’s a rule.

Isn’t this the creepy “get me pregnant” song?

BeefReeferLives

“Don’t look so sad, I know it’s over
But life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
Let’s just be glad we had some time to spend together
There’s no need to watch the bridges that we’re burning”

“And when the daylight hours roll ’round
And by chance we’re both downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Oh, darling, please, don’t cry”

DJ 3000′: DUDE.

I feel seen.

BeefReeferLives

“Would you like to say something before you leave
Perhaps you’d care to state exactly how you feel
We said goodbye before we said hello
I hardly even like you, I shouldn’t care at all
We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud
From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year”

Alternate title: “Fuck ‘Em If Ya Got Em”

This was my second choice for rhe puzzle song if for some bizarre reason it wasn’t Liz Phair.
