Crazy woman wants to know what's playing on the radio

[depechemodefan]

Remember back in the day when you hear something on the radio and wanted to know what is the song/singer? You would call the radio station to find out.

Now adays, you can go to the radio website.

Why this woman didn't call the radio station...

nw I really don't get the full crazy-talk of the woman, but this my best

woman: I woke and I hear this song, and our country is in a bad state, it's Willie Nelson and Pancho. you hear the song? *woman puts phone next to radio*
me:...
woman: yeah, this song, this song, yeah.
me: you want to know what is the song?
woman: (something intelligible) it's on 97.1. It was a song.
me: let me check.
I go to the radio station website, and there is a link to all the music they played recently
me: It's Pancho and lefty by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard
woman: but what's the song before it?
me: *checks* Last Date. by Floyd Cramer.
woman: but who sings it?
me: Floyd Cramer
woman: Floyd Clamer. ok, thanks.

Most of the suck was trying to understand what she wanted, since she kept on stating stuff that was going on, but not what she wanted.

We would get people come in to where I used to work and ask us what was just playing on blah station. Fine, except for the fact that we had no radio or internet access. We would suggest that they call the radio station and they would look at us like we had two heads.

Lady's a little slow on the uptake.

Pancho And Lefty is a Townes Van Zandt song released in 1972.
The Willie & Merle take is from 1983.
(I have & love a 1977 Hoyt Axton version)

I get that crap all the time where I work. People run in like maniacs wondering what song they just heard. Most of the time I can figure it out if they don't mind singing a little of it. It's the folks who either don't want to sing it because of embarassment or the ones who say the wrong lyrics that make me crazy. Thankfully, some stations, like B101 where I am tell you the artist and song title after they play it. Helps a lot.

Oh, we have a regular who loves calling us and asking "who sang this song? Was it X?" and she will sing the song. We try to stop her after one line but she loves to sing the whole thing and repeat it.

Ouch.

I do NOT envy you !!

One of the stations here has that. It's some woman saying the artist and the name of the song. The way some of them come out though, even the DJs are laughing at it!
