Haven't listened in a while, here we go.
Bleah, commercials. Good time to point out that the Reggaeton Niños are in the incubator this week, but only as "The Niños" (Volume 2, not sure if they're the same kids. They have one old member, "P-Star," but I don't recognize the rest). Jonas Brothers are about to get "Poor Unfortunate Souls" onto the Top 30, along with Ashley Tisdale's "Kiss the Girl" already in the Top 30. Both are part of the Little Mermaid Super Deluxe Ultra version. This cannot be a promising development.
Five second clip of "Kiss the Girl," slight Hilary/Avril lite crunch beneath a bland faithful arrangement, Ashley's baby doll Britney tics seem to have gone bye bye, but haven't heard the whole song yet.
Oh god, this has to be the Cheetah Girls. Spanish flourishes and Raven-Symone mugging...yep, "Amigas Cheetahs." Good time to start doing laundry. Question: why is this so popular when "Bop to the Top" barely charted? How bout the Niños? Belanova? These girls have the Midas touch of mediocrity.
"Let's Get It Started," faithful standby. BEP and Fergie need to do some Disney edits of all of their hits. They could probably keep "mix your milk with my Cocoa Puffs" and call it cross-promotion.
Code word of the day is "Pineapple." Ooh, DVD player. Goes into "Year 3000." Boybands and another one and another one...and another one. Have to miss their show tonight. Lesse, seven albums in 1000 years = one album every 143 years or so. Next Jonas Bros. album due out around 2150 or so.
"Can't Touch This." This will probably come up relatively soon in the Poptimists History of Jop polls. From the Youtube vaults: patriotic montage to James Brown's "Living in America," Prince video inappropriately labeled "80s trash," John Lydon makes me feel weird, and Shamefully Belated '86 Discovery Award (I'm up to "Romper Room," which will traumatize me in '87...KIMBLE!) goes to Cameo.
"Pon de Replay." Then talk of the monumental grassroots support for "Poor Unfortunate Souls" on the Mailbag (96%), some girl lurvs them and will be attending their concert in November. They'll play it soon.
Adrian from the Cheetah Girls speaks! Her dad was an Ecuadorian singer! They love merengue! The reason they are speaking to her (apparently) is that it's Hispanic Heritage Month!
"I Got Nerve," very nice. I think that Hannah has slowly tiptoed her way off my top ten, though.
Pop Quiz! Coming up, first Smashmouth's Monkees cover. One way trip to paradise, free trip to Hawaii, Totally (Hang) Ten Birthday Celebration. Oh, sorry, typo above, it's the Little Mermaid PLATINUM edition.
Spanish guitar flourish...oh JESUS GOD it's the CHEETAH GIRLS AGAIN. "Strut" this time, better than "Amigas Cheetahs." Eff this I'm making a sandwich.
Pop quiz: Name four things that you can squirt out of a bottle!
Water, oil, soap (heard "salt")...missed the last one. He won Bratz Forever Diamonds, leads into "We're All in This Together."
Surely he could have squirted more interesting things out of a bottle. Cookie dough. Crunk juice. Industrial size Neosporin.
Request: "We're All in This Together" -- too late! Sarcastic DJ remark: "Hm, I'm a mind reader." I can't imagine they listen to these songs every time.
"Chemicals React." Wish they'd play the Simlish version.
"We Will Rock You" into PSAs. Demographic question: what sort of audience needs trampoline safety tips? Like, backyard trampoline safety?
"Axel F" by Crazy Frog/sandwich dance interlude...it cut out!!! There it goes.
Hey, what is this? Branchy acoustipop. Oh, "Breathe"! Very Branchy, then.
Halfhearted Ashlee Simpson promo spot...siiiiiigh.
Time for Playhouse Disney...hm, 6-14 goes 1-6, good time to hang it up I guess. Actually maybe I'll keep this on for a little bit, at least until "Pop Goes the Weasel" is over. POOH BEAR IS CO-HOSTING TODAY! Goes right into "Beep Beep"! Yeah definitely not turning this off yet.
