Additional Comment: Little known fact about the song 'Can't Keep You Off My Head' by Peter Lime-On-Jello: This song was written for his pet seagull who was called 'Raindrops'. Rumour has it that 'Raindrops' kept falling onto Peter's head... However, this might just be a rumour and not have a shred of truth to it! (LOL). Rumour also has it that Peter's birth name wasn't Peter at all. It was actually Cliff...! Sorry, I'll stop it now. (LOL).

The woman who sang "Four Strong Winds" should have covered The Ronettes. Her vocal timbre is similar to Ronnie Spector.

No Dora Hall? I am disappoint.

[@ArchiveAnnex]

Truly too hot for behind the iron curtain.

[@michaelcarpenter2498]

Good time was had by all! Sergei never change.

GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SERGEI'S KITCHEN

[@brianhebert6152]

Happy Franken-FM debut for Sergei!

[@thekidfromiowa]

Tune in Saturday nights for The Quiet Storm with Sweet Daddy Sergei. He'll keep you company all night long with the smoothest selection of soul and R&B. "Alright ladies let's start off the night right vith some Luther Vandross." Then tune in weekday mornings for the outrageous antics of Silly Sergei and his Morning Zoo Crew. [Series of goofy sound effects] [Insert prank call segment] [Giveaway segnent] "We have tickets to Whitesnake and Warrant at county fair. You be 5th caller and answer a few trivia questions and ve give tickets to you."

[@thekidfromiowa]

Then check out his public radio show Spotlight on Literature. "David Sedaris is guest today. He here to plug latest book. It full of witty anecdote and musings. We make amusing conversation with him. You buy his book."

[@brianhebert6152]

And on Saturday mornings, tune in for Radio Sergsney! "Who is your favorite character from hit TV show Hannah Rosanna? If you say Minney Cyprus, you win 10,000 rubles and tickets to see 98 Degrees at performing arts center."

[@danthemainman1]

Sunday mornings, tune in for Reverend Sergei’s Sermon of Suffering, where he dryly reads scriptures interspersed with songs from the Themes from Godspell 8-track.

[@brianhebert6152]

​​@@danthemainman1 And don't forget Sergei's Sunday Evening Swap Shop!

[@plan7a]

Comment to be read as Sergei would say it: The title for trick two made me think of Hell & Oakes singing their hit 'Parrot Eyes Are Watching You', before I realised it wasn't the same song... (LOL).

[@Fluteboy]

Only one music match? And it was the Fantastic F track, with extra added wow and flutter!

[@ArchiveAnnex]

The only sound recording match. All but a couple tunes (even Frankenstein!) got a composition match though.

[@bree9272]

The singer on Because I Love You (The Postman Song) sounds more like he wants to be Mikey J instread of Stevie B if you know what I mean...

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Good thing KLAK doesn’t have LPs by Arc Records from Canada. Sergei would be doing multi-part specials for months 😂 (Btw, nice Canuck touch with the FMEB cover! EDIT ADD: Shoulda kept my big yap shut until the end 😉)

[@OzRetrocomp]

I know Sergei is an AM purist but Bossman wants to broadcast in stereo... could KLAK eventually broadcast in AM Stereo?

[@brianknoblock8873]

Was that Right Guard ad recorded in a bus station or the inside of a water heater?

[@ArchiveAnnex]

The radio aircheck I got it from had an extra dose of reverb on all the DJ stuff and commercials.

[@RickinBaltimore]

Inside the water heater AT a bus station

[@dorourke105]

Was Stilly Don a fan of the Rock a Fire Explosion? 🤣🤣

[@danthemainman1]

Funny that Sergei should start off with Keep The Customer Satisfied. I went record hunting recently and bought a 45 of Bridge Over Troubled Water backed by Keep The Customer Satisfied, which was the first time I’d heard it. I’m a little surprised that you’d managed to find a ripoff version of it. And deep cut ripoffs with Sergei in stereo even, you spoil us, Ben.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Great score! I'm going through a major purge and had to toss a very "well loved" copy of that 45

[@Dsun4456]

Simian and no Funkel
