I'm Jiggin' disgusted in you Darren, fer crikeys' sake you're the same Jiggin' age as me, and I haven't stopped listening to jjj, even had Jack Thompson on the other morning with "Radios' Jay & the Doctor", up until recently Adam & Will were the morning presenters and I can't tell you how many time Jiggin' Adam Spencer almost made me run off the road in hysterical laughter.
And the Music.... let's just say I have a few of the recent "hottest 100" here at my joint, please don't tell me that our late 70's & 80s stuff was better, cause I still want to throw up at most of it.
And you have my sympathy if you've "lost" your "jigginess"....I've been told ;) viagra helps you find it again.

SilentC,

Time to get some more up-market mates - there is nothing wrong with Mozart.

Rocker (Old fart)

hey Silent, this made me remember one of the big hits from our youth, the really deep & meaningfull "DA DA DA" by Trio, then there was all the Micky Jackson cwap, the venerable "Rocky burnett jnr" diseased rubbish, et all.
Cripes i can now remember why i listened mostly to "Ska" and fringe punk stuff.
Now Silent take your bloody foot out of that grave and slowly back away whilst maintain eye contact with the headstone, and repeatedly chant, "you are only as young as you feel" grab the keys for your car, throw the board on the racks and tune the radio to double J....sorry triple j break off the tuning knob and head for the best breaks you can find.

:mad: You bastard Iain. I didn't recognise that song until you posted the whole song - now I can't get it out of my head.

This will take you to the cause of the problem...it's well known in your area. :D

Back in the seventies, a local DJ produced a number of gag singles. One of them was
Thump, thump, bash, bash,
Junior's flamin' jungle music,
Thump, thump, bash, bash,
Junior's flamin' jungle music,

repeated until he had his three minutes up.

Another one was
Back yard barbie,
boogie woogie woogie boo,

but that had real lyrics and a story.

Cheers
Richard

Personally, I don't have a problem with ads, or repeated songs. I just turn on "Radio iPod", and can listen up to 24 hours a day for a month (well 28.42 days to be exact) without hearing a single repeat :D

I remember the day Double J first started broadcasting. Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple. It was as if they were working their way through my record collection.
Sigh..............those were the days.

I had to do a google to get that so I don't win. I wasn't a fan of Skyhooks so it wouldn't have registered.

The answer is: "You just like me 'cause I'm good in bed" .

Was considered quite a subversive song in 1975 and was banned on commercial radio I believe. :rolleyes:

How times have changed. :)

I remember the uproar over "Ego is not a dirty word". Jeez our parents were prudes back then, weren't they?

Silent..

I think exactly the same as you when I tune the radio to triple J...but then I remember how my parents must have felt when I came home proudly totting Uriah Heap's "Very Heavy very Humble"....there was fear in their eyes..and rightfully so.

Same here...cant do much about it. One thing Ive observed over the last 47 years is that people generally end up being carbon copies of one of their parents.
