I agree with your last sentence though I prefer Aztec Camera's song of the same name. I liked the fact both versions of heatwave were mentioned but had only heard Bing Crosby's musical film version of the 2nd version he shared.

Here's two more. Bob should've had this on his playlist.

Thank you very much. I prefer Ann Williamson's version of that 1st song.

The Singers and Songs​

• Jim Backus and Friends: Delicious
• Cab Calloway: Everybody Eats When They Come To My House

“A man who can be seen in animated form in a number of Betty Boop Cartoons… During a concert, a band member shot spitballs at Cab’s back when he faced the audience. Cab accused Dizzy of being the culprit and upon Dizzy’s vehement denial, the two began to fight. Dizzy grabbed a knife and actually cut Cab. Although the two made up after Jonah Jones and Milt Hinton came forward as the perpetrators, Dizzy was fired.”

• Rolling Stones: Rice Krispies (Wake Up In The Morning)
• Wendy Rene: Bar-B-Q
• Lincoln Chase: Hot Biscuits and Sweet Marie

“Tryin’ to decide between biscuits and lovin’ – wow, that’s a hard choice!”

• Charles Mingus: Eat That Chicken

“He led groups noted for their collective improvisations, loose rhythms, and high energy. He was a serious musician with a strong sense of humor.”

• Johnny Hicks and his Troubadours: Hamburger Hop

“A man who sounds like he’s got a smile in his voice”

• The Melodians: Swing and Dine

“Down in Jamaica they cook a dish called jerk chicken. It’s sweet, it’s peppery and it’s delicious. I wonder if that’s the meal that the Melodians were singing about in this song?”

• Thurston Harris: Purple Stew

“You heard of the Purple Rain and you’ve heard of the Purple Haze. But have you heard about the purple stew? As the old saying goes, some days you eat the bear, and some days the bear eats you. Here’s a song about a guy who finds himself about to be served up as the main course.”

• Paul Chaplain and his Emeralds: Shortnin’ Bread

“Far as I know, they only made one record – what else did they need to make? America first fell in love with the song Shortnin’ Bread when Lawrence Tibbett, who was the principal with the Metropolitan Opera, made a recording of it. Nelson Eddy sang it in the movie Maytime in 1937. But I bet neither of those versions rock as successfully as Paul Chaplain and his Emeralds.”

• Slim Gaillard: Matzoh Balls

“America is certainly the great melting pot. Where else could someone like Slim Gaillard sing a tribute to matzoh balls and gefilte fish? It’s the kind of thing that makes me proud to be an American. Sing it, Slim.”

• Jim Jackson: I Heard The Voice of a Pork Chop

“A songster from the medicine shows of Memphis…Jim Jackson’s popularity was surprisingly phenomenal. He waxed 50 titles in less than three years.”

• Dizzy Gillespie: Hey Pete, Let’s Eat More Meat

“The Beat Poets were all big fans of Bebop, and here’s the king of Bebop, the spitball king, playing some of his Chinese music, Dizzy Gillespie, on the Atkins Diet…Crazy daddy-o!”

• Louis Jordan and his Tympany 5: Hungry Man

“The consummate entertainer, not just singing but also playing that wild alto saxophone, and he’s got quite an appetite.”

• The Blue Dots: Saturday Night Fish Fry

“Sounds like a wild affair.”

• Bobby Moore and the Rhythm Ace: The Hamburger Song

“A song that sorta sounds like a nursery rhyme.”

• The Detroit Cobras: Hot Dog
• Four Clefs: I Like Pie, I Like Cake

Episode 29: Food

(ewww, we're gonna have fun....OOOO Yes!) It's night time in the Big City A woman steps carefully over a broken wine bottle the television is still on (it's a cozy table isn't it? I like it too, yes I do like it. Mmmmmm....delicious.) “Welcome once again to Theme Time Radio Hour, and I hope...

Bob Dylan’s radio show is a gem. Collected them all on Bootleg CDs and they’re endlessly re-listenable. That voice of his is golden!

It never reached here in AU back in the day and if my memory serves me well , we had the national FM top rated broadcaster 5MMM that they would often get the rights to play programs and foreign concerts such as these.

...including a really cool David Bowie Montreal concert which i'll post in a moment!
