So… this chapter is written as if you're listening to the radio itself. Therefore, this will probably be really boring, sorry, but if you want music to listen to, here you go. I even made a playlist with all the songs, in order, so you don't have to keep going back and forth.
If you want, check it out on spotify radiohostjones
Unfortunately, since it's spotify, that means I am missing the last song, considering Taylor Swift removed her music. Sorry.
Chapter 4:
Radio D.J.
Good afternoon, everyone! Alfred F. Jones here, and I'll be with you guys for the rest of the day! The song you just heard is a very special one to me, and in my opinion, an American classic. That was American Pie by Don McLean.
Don't forget to submit questions and requests for songs! You still have time to submit for the 4 o'clock Q&A and the 5 o'clock request (half) hour, so please hurry and get those in. Submit at my twitter radiohostjones, but you better hurry or we might not air your requests!
As a lot of you know, Fall Out Boy recently released their newest album, American Beauty/American Psycho and I am mighty impressed. You guys have probably heard Centuries a million times already, so I'm playing my personal favorite, Uma Thurman! Enjoy!
Oh man, that song gets me pumped up each time. I kind of want to go home and watch Pulp Fiction now. And now, for three straight classics! Try not to sing along too loudly, haha.
… And that was Stevie Wonder with Sir Duke, followed by one of the best songs ever created, Bohemian Rhapsody sung by Queen. The classic trio ended with a-ha and their world wide phenomenon, Take On Me!
As much as I want to get back to the music, my bosses say I have to say something about the Saturday afternoon traffic. In a nutshell, it's boring. But since I do need to pay rent, highway 265 is looking clear both southbound and northbound, while interstate 38 has a small crash that's clogging up the traffic eastbound. I hope y'all stuck in traffic are listening to 177.6 KMUS!
Finally back to the music, I wish it was always about the music, ya know? Sorry for all you classic rock fans out there, I've gotta do my share of new music. Personally, this song is one of my guilty pleasures, so maybe you guys will like it as well. Talk Dirty to Me, by Jason Derulo! (Jason Derulo)
Wow, I forgot how dirty that song actually is, haha. Anyway, for my girls out there, these songs are for you! Rock out with your pony tails (or short hair, I don't judge) to these kick butt girls! First up is Girls Just Want to Have Fun, by Cyndi Lauper.
Haha, I'm pretty sure I know all the lyrics to that one. I'm still with you, girls, so keep rocking on to these next two songs: Beyonce with Run the World (Girls) and Spice Girls with Wannabe!
Welcome back, everyone! Just one last reminder, you only have a little less than ten minutes to submit questions, so get going, I wanna answer your questions. Also, if anyone wants to request a song, you still have an hour until 5 o'clock, so get on that!
The last two songs that will be playing before the question segment are songs that are or were really popular, and for good reason. They're great songs. Dance like an idiot to Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield, and then transition into a smooth, cool dance with AWOLnation's Sail! See you in ten.
Yup, I did. I did sneak that song in there. For those living under a rock, that song was Never Gonna Give You Up. I wonder if Rick Astley knows that his song was turned into an internet joke. Anyway, it indeed is time for the question segment.
For anyone just joining me, I'm Alfred F. Jones and I'm the radio host for the rest of the afternoon! Right now I'll be answering questions, but if you want to request songs, tweet me radiohostjones.
The first question comes from a Vash, and he's asking 'Alfred, why do you play such songs that could ruin the innocence of some?' Uh, well, Vash… The songs are censored, I don't know what else you want me to do, sorry!
Haha, uh, let's get to a new question. This one is from Elizabeta, and she asks 'why are guys so stupid?' I don't know Eliza, but we definitely are. Oh, wait, there's a second part. 'Why are guys so hot? Like especially when they're together?' Um… I… don't know.
… Moving on, then…
This is from Francis, and he's asking something in French that I'm not going to repeat for two reasons. One, Francis, this is a PG radio station, please go use that accent elsewhere. Second, I actually suck at French so… yeah!
Hopefully there are some better questions now, these have been really weird.
Someone named Arthur Kirkland writes 'whatever Francis said ignore it, he's an idiot.' Really? Really guys? Can I get some normal questions? Stop communicating through my freaking radio show!
Okay, okay. Everything's fine. Yeah. Let's go.
Next question. Erika wrote, in very nice cursive I may add, 'Alfred, what's your favorite color? Mine is purple!' Thank you so much Erika for a normal question, you're my saviour. What a coincidence, my favorite color is purple too! Which is funny, because everyone thinks it would be red or blue or something. Dunno why.
Oh, look at the time, there's only enough for one more question! Who's the lucky listener?! Someone that goes by the initials I.B. writes 'you will join my station, yes?'
IVAN! I know that's you! Stop sending me questions, I'm not going to join your station. I don't even like heavy metal!
Haha, uh, time has definitely, uh, flown, hasn't it? I guess I should play more music. Yeah, more… music… Enjoy.
The last two songs, respectively, were Tainted Love by Soft Cell and Alejandro by the almighty Lady Gaga. Very different, but somehow kind of have the same electronic feel to it, don't you think? One last song before the 4:30 weather, yeah?
… If none of you got the hint, it's going to be raining a lot tonight and tomorrow. That was The Weather Girls, announcing that It's Raining! Men! Everyone better pack an umbrella, you guys will need it. Bring a jacket too, it's supposed to get chilly overnight and I don't want any of my precious listeners to get sick!
A quick update on that traffic from earlier, the crash has been cleared and everything's moving smoothly. There aren't any hold ups, so your drive home should be clear! Take the time from being stuck in traffic, and dance to this song in the car. Up right now is Uptown Funk, with Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars.
Mm, yup, those are really catchy songs. After Uptown Funk, Jealous by Nick Jonas was played. Remember when he was in the Jonas Brothers? Me too! Real quick throwback to 2008, when the Jonas Brothers were still popular together. Let's give a listen to Burnin' Up!
Ahh, yes, the good times. A quick listen to a few new songs that have been gaining popularity, and then I'll be taking requests from the audience! The next two songs will be Bleachers singing I Wanna Get Better and Greek Fire with Top of the World. They're gonna be big hits in no time, no doubt about it.
Apparently, one of my friends knows the main singer of Greek Fire, so I mean, that's cool. For the last song before the request (half) hour, is one of my personal favorites. It's so flowery and sweet, you're just unable to be mad when you listen to this. I dedicate this to Erika, the only sane person from the questions. You're awesome!
I always end up with smiles with that song! Build Me Up Buttercup by the Foundations finishes off my time as radio dj, and now for the last half hour of my shift, I will be playing 100% requests from my awesome listeners!
Ooh, interesting song choice for the first request. It's from Gilbert for Do You Realize by The Flaming Lips. Apparently, he wants me to dedicate this to his very special birdie, whatever that means haha. Let's take a listen.
So, basically telling 'birdie' you love them, huh? Cute, but I can only hope that you knew they were listening or not. Always such a good song though.
Oh man, hahaha, this is great! Germania (is that a nickname?) is requesting a teenage anthem! He's specially requesting Teenagers by My Chemical Romance. Oh, and he also has a special note for me to read. It says for all the teenagers to get off his lawn! Hahaha, just kidding! Enjoy and try not to overturn a car.
Wow, every time I hear that song, I want to get a tattoo. Anyone know a good tattoo parlor?
Anyways, moving on, we have a request for a throwback! Awesome! Felix wants Forever by Chris Brown, and I quote, 'because it's my jam'. Me too, Felix, me too. That song will forever remind me of the episode of the Office where Jim & Pam get married. Shout out to anyone who knows what I'm talking about.
Aww, how sweet. This next song is requested by Feliciano for his brother. How adorable is that? Brotherly love, that's where it's at man, love ya Mattie~ The song requested is Stuck in the Middle with You by Stealers Wheel. Cute!
I wonder what you guys are stuck in the middle of. Either way, when you have your brother, nothing can get you down. You two rock. Okay, there's ten minutes left for my shift, which means there can be three requests granted! Let's do this!
The first of three, is Not a Bad Thing by Justin Timberlake, which was very kindly requested by Antonio. Thanks, Antonio, this is such a great song. I hope you all enjoy it as well!
Dang right it's not a bad thing to fall in love! But I guess people don't see the same way. Ah well. The next request is from - Roderich. Really, did you send in a request just so I would play classical music? Jokes on you, cuz this song is great. It's perfect for star gazing or trying to be creative, so there. Everyone enjoy the soft serenade of Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros, because I know Roderich and I will.
Wow… Chills, every time. Just wow. I don't really know how to transition, but…
How can we end the day without any T Swift?! Unbelievable! This is a very special request for I'm Only Me When I'm With You from Berwald, dedicated to his, uh… wife, Tino. Isn't that cute?
It's been a great afternoon, everybody. Enjoy and have a good night, world! Alfred F. Jones signing off!
