The post FNL – Questions and Answers appeared first on Friday Night LIVE with David and Sue.

How do you like your Halloween?
For David, it’s sexy. For Sue …. she’s not convinced. 
Geoffrey is in the studio and suggests it’s not a great theme … but it is a theme. Oh 🙁
Music-wise – a weird collection, from creepy to … tasteless?
Plus – shock! – David and Sue actually agree on something … 
that the version they played of Love Potion Number 9 is great!

David and Sue want to know what songs bring out the diva in you.
Songs that make you feel … Fabulous. Fearless. Just a little bit Dramatic!
You know – just the regular you … of course 😉
Shane from Wodonga says: “The mix is a-maaaazing!”
Translation: “You gotta listen to this!”

Naturally, David is in his element.
Sue… not so much.
Some unusual songs chosen with more than usual not in the system.

Only one hour with David celebrating Melbourne’s happiness and friendliness with ….
Ben and Joe, two of JOY’s newsreaders and Sunday Arts Magazine colleagues.
Sue asked herself “What’s better than one hour off?” and came up with two,
so she’s AWOL this week. Dock her pay!!

The post FNL – Whoops-a-daisy appeared first on Friday Night LIVE with David and Sue.

It’s Grand Final weekend and St Susan is working on her double day off – a public holiday in school holidays.
Let’s hope she’s not named after St Susan of Rome. That ended badly. (Spoiler: head chopping involved.)
Meanwhile, David the SuperStar works on his days off all the time – every day is a holiday when you’re retired!

If you’re not a Kylie fan, this show might not be for you. Or … you could become a convert.
It’s not “the greatest hits”. Rather, lots of great but rarely played songs from Kylie’s hug...

What a fun show!!!  Icky and teary! Cheesy not sleazy!
Sue couldn’t put up with David’s sleazy voice for a whole show.
Have a bucket and some tissues handy, just in case because …
Listeners keep begging for more!
And, oh, the shame of it … singing along with so many 🙂

Plus … a memory from your podcaster … Watching then Victorian Premier John Brumby turning bright red as Olivia Newton-John, unaccompanied, serenaded him with I Honestly Love You, when they were both making a site visit to the Austin Hospital. They were there to inspect the buil...

What an uplifting show!
Listeners choose so many heroes and nominate so few villains.
Some of the music might surprise you.
David and Sue are definitely blown away. Amazing!

The post FNL – It’s Heroes and Villains appeared first on Friday Night LIVE with David and Sue.

The music in this podcast shows how differently listeners interpret this week’s theme.
But you do have to work through Sue’s bad hair day … with a bit of rock-paper-scissors thrown in.
David enthuses rapturously about Roberta Flack’s 1972 version of The First Time Ever I saw Your Face …
However, your podcaster prefers Peter, Paul and Mary‘s 1965 recording while the Queens Parade Boys might be interested in Celine Dion‘s 1999 offering.
It’s hard to imagine anyone voting for the attempt by … wait for it … Elvis. He murders it!

Sue is back … not because she’s better. And not because she was missing David! Ha Ha 🙂
Sue didn’t want to miss out on celebrating 50 years of Blue Light Disco!
She has great memories of Doora Disco in her youth.
David not so much – he’s so old he took his nephews to their local Blue Light events.
But lots of listeners are like Sue – remembering those Blue Light Disco days – or nights!
Where the music, remembered in this podcast, was great.

Sue is speechless … Lots of kind messages are sent her way.
Get well, Sue!! 🙂

So David is rolling with a “hit or miss” theme.
Gary keeps his thoughts to himself. Listeners, however, get really creative.
How many ways can you interpret “hit or miss”? Not all of them make much sense LOL
NB: One song might be cut from future podcasts if David plays it again. Just sayin’!

Or … failing one hit wonders, the one song some artists are always linked to.
It’s a bit of a stretch though to include the Beatles, don’t you think?!
Anyway … Sue has a game – Name that Song
It challenges both listeners and David … because Sue hasn’t told David the answers.
How do you do at home?

But do David and Sue have any answers?

As well as discussing which club you get stories about ….
1. David doing the dusting (too many snow globes, people)
and
2. Sue trying to get to sleep and a noise machine (rain and thunder) not helping.

Both of them need to get out more!!
The music, however, will get you dancing.

The post FNL – The first song at the club – but which club? appeared first on Friday Night LIVE with David and Sue.

David and Sue want to know what songs were played  …
before the lights went up when you went to the disco.
Whether real or wished for, listeners came up with some inventive titles.
Driving all night does NOT come into the inspired category.
But enjoy the show in spite of that!  🙂

The post FNL – Last songs at the disco appeared first on Friday Night LIVE with David and Sue.

It might be binary awareness week and the songs do reflect that.
But David and Sue remain otherwise crazy –
arguing over clouds and wanting information about the Leyland Brothers ….
even though they watched every show! Talk about losing the plot.
But it’s worth staying to the end … Celine is brilliant – and she’s not driving all night.
Seriously brilliant!

Last week girls, this week boys. Fair’s fair.
The question: If you could join a former or existing boy band, which one would it be?
The vote: Hanson – yes or no?
Pineapple on pizza rears its ugly head. /Sigh/

The post FNL – Boys, Boys, Boys appeared first on Friday Night LIVE with David and Sue.

After an ungentlemanly start, David enthusiastically gives the show to the girls.
All female artists, some songs about girls, a few little-heard numbers, a classic or two – a real mix.
But why does Sue think “Sorry, not sorry”?
Could it be that Tom has a birthday, gets old, goes off Celine?
This is icing on the cake to last week’s promise of no more Ernie.

Oh boy! Sue’s back!! With a vengeance …
David doesn’t know what’s hit him LOL
She’s grouchy, forgotten how to do the job, wishing she’s on holidays …
or that David was on holidays – one or the other.
And in between that – she’s bright and breezy …
as though she’s had a good holiday and never had Covid. Good grief!
So it’s listeners doing it for themselves …
Holding things together with great music to get into the weekend groove.
And BTW – your podcaster’s daughter enjoyed the Harry Styles concert at Wemb...

Sue has recovered from Covid and gone to Bali to regain her strength.
It’s tough.
So once again it’s David and Who? – Why … Joss, of course!
There are lots of good animal songs … and one or two not so much.
But just wait for the insane track.
You’ll know it when you hear it … ever so briefly. OTT?
You betcha!!

Think BIG STARS and their songs.
Think also of Sue and her companion Covid 🙁
As if Covid isn’t bad enough, Sue misses her BeeGees moment.
OTOH, she misses a couple of banned songs – so it’s not all bad 🙂
Anyway … it’s the David and Joss show …
playing a truly fab collection of songs.

The post FNL – SuperStars! appeared first on Friday Night LIVE with David and Sue.

David and Sue want to know what music gets you strutting down the catwalk.
And some do – in their hallway, down the street, along the beach.
But then, there are those who race and those who float – or so music choices would indicate.
Sue has a health and hygiene moment reminding people to wash their hands after …
So David has to get the show back to strutting.
All good – all’s well that ends …. on a high note 🙂

Sue admits to Big Hair and lots of perms.
David says he didn’t have Big Hair but did have a perm – can you have a perm without big hair???
There’s quite a bit of Aussie slang and sayings – so many recorded by June Factor in her books …
Far Out, Brussel Sprout!; All Right, Vegemite!; Unreal, Banana Peel!; Real Keen, Baked Bean! and Roll Over, Pavlova!.
And Big Thanks to Karen for her courageous song choice after telling her perm horror story. Bravo!

Sue is counting down to her party and wants listeners to put together an 80s playlist for her DJ, JOY’s own much loved Robbie Molinari.
Unsurprisingly, David fills in lots of 80s music scene history. He was there! He met the stars! Ha!
For some nerdy history, featuring Kylie if you scroll down, see this – David remembers the original, as does your podcaster LOL

David is fascinated to learn that bees can count – to 6!
Sue – she’s so tired she could sleep through anything.
Some songs have a link to nature – and the heavens, if that counts.
Others – it’s a bit hard to find a connection.
But seriosly!! – The two of you who requested April Sun in Cuba …
You owe an apology …
to all of us whose thoughts turned to a certain politician with a ukulele!!!

David and Sue’s theme of the week has brought song requests going back before the Golden Oldies
– what a fabulous collection of songs you don’t hear often enough any more.
So good, Karen wants to buy the podcast.
No Folks, you can download all FNL podcasts for free at https://joy.org.au/davidandsue/
Between songs you might just hear David, and Sue in particular,
saying they are live in the studio on a public holiday – Good Friday.
But not saying quite so much about their day off next week, are they!

It’s a pretty straightforward show, this one.
David and Sue basically behave.
Most listeners stick with the theme – apart for requests for a banned song. Naughty!
Which song has the most names? Which listener has the coincidence name?
David and Sue don’t feature in the answers to those questions!

Sue works out a complicated points system for singular words associated with songs.
David, suffering from hayfever, loses points for playing Ernie last week, and for using a handkerchief – a Sue obsession.
Meanwhile, your podcaster has Harry Styles’ problem – “Drinks go straight to my knees” (from Aperture).

Grand Prix traffic defeated Sue so solo David plays solo artists …

But will Sue love or hate David after this show?
A banned song gets requested and played. Oh no!
But David gives some publicity to International Women’s Day on 8 March.
Will that be enough to redeem himself?
