The music of episode 050
We’ve been asked by hundreds of listeners one listener what songs were on our live episode 050 in New York. Here’s what you heard:
- “Ballad of the Last Chance Saloon” – Donald Cotton and Tristram Cary, adapted by Alex Kennard
- “Split into Fractions” – Curve
- “Something to Remember Me By” – The Horrors
- “Music” – Madonna
- “Sweet Poison” – Dragonette
- “Once in a Lifetime” – Talking Heads
- “Swingin’ Safari” – Bert Kaempfert and his Orchestra
- “Propaganda” – Sepultura
- “I Thought You Were My Boyfriend” – The Magnetic Fields
- “Turn Up The Radio” – OK Go
Alex picked out all but the sketch music (by Bert Kaempfert) and the outro (by OK Go). Which sums up Graeme and Alex’s musical tastes perfectly, when you think about it.
