In A Nutshell TuNesDay Edition: One Hit Wonders

Hey!

Sorry, it's Mike Waters and this is the Waters Wake Up Call in a Nutshell Tunes Day Edition.

We were talking One Hit Wonders and I had so many people calling in and texting with with the One Hit Wonders and we were playing them all morning long.

It was just a blast.

That's what Tunes Day is all about.

Just to have a little fun with music and get together and talk about it a little bit.

I just have a blast doing that with you.

Oh and a big thanks to our sponsor of the Waters Wake Up Call in a

Nutshell Tunes Day edition this morning.

Today's show is brought to you by National Teachers Day, also known as People Not Getting Paid Enough to Watch Your Spoiled Rotten Kids Day.

And what can I say other than, thank you, thank you, thank you, teachers, where would we be without you?

All right, before we get into Tunes Day and the one hit wonders, let's start things off on the Bright Side.

We

could all use a little good news.

Look at the Bright Side, okay?

Let's look on the Bright Side

with Mike Waters on 1057KOKZ.

Answered by Walton Collision Center.

So I love this one.

It has to do with a veteran and his pregnant wife.

Any bright side with a veteran, I don't know, it just seems extra special.

So with her first child on the way and her husband who is a US Marine deployed overseas in Okinawa, Japan, Brienne Lindholm, she decided to move back to her hometown of Spanish Fork, Utah to be close to family during the birth.

She even got her old job back.

waiting tables at Hootman Golan Grill.

So during her first shift at this restaurant, since she and her husband were in high school, Breanne was sharing with a customer how difficult it's been with him so far away.

So Breanne also shared that he'd recently broken his cell phone, making staying in touch just that much more difficult.

And after the customer left, she was cleaning up the table and realized this man had left her an $800 tip on the bottom of the check he'd written, buy your husband a new phone.

Thank you for the service.

Brianne was brought to tears.

It's so nice.

I'd probably be crying too.

I don't mind admitting.

Since sharing her story, tips have increased for the entire staff at the restaurant and customers have been leaving supportive notes.

Unfortunately, Brianne doesn't know who the generous customer was, but she wants to thank him for his act of kindness.

She says it meant a lot to both of us.

Without it, we'd still be waiting to get that phone and still be struggling to talk with each other.

I was amazed by the generosity.

We gotta give a shout out to that anonymous tipper of $800 to a Marines pregnant wife.

Man, there you go.

That is the Bright Sight sponsored by Walton Collision Center on Highway 151 in Fairfax.

Walton Collision Center where quality is their priority.

And then when we're in a nice good mood, we kick off our Tuesday topic, One Hit Wonders.

Man, I got so many calls and so many texts like this one.

True One Hit Wonders, Zager and Evans 2525.

That is a One Hit Wonder.

I wonder what Zager and Evans are doing now.

Uh, head east, never been any reason.

That's a pretty good one, hit wonder.

Uh, let's see, son of my father by chicory tip.

I gotta admit, I don't know that one.

One hit wonders moonlight feels right Starbucks.

Yes, that's a great one Scott says it's Tuesday got some great one hit wonders for you Mike that I don't think you've done for the 70s We just disagree Dave Mason great one playground in my mind that brings back childhood Trauma my name is Michael.

I got a name being being Michael

it was uh it was tough at reset all right but let's take a couple of calls real quick before we get into the hit and run headlines hey you got a one hit wonder yeah could you play eddie grant electric avenue oh there's a fine one hit wonder yeah yeah man is that your favorite one hit wonder you'd have to say that's the one that always pops up in my head yeah when you think one hit wonder boom there's eddie grant yep i wonder how eddie would feel about that

Yeah, his, uh, Electric Avenue after that song, his, uh, his avenue got unplugged, I think.

I think that was his problem.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Unplugged Avenue.

That should have been his second, second release.

Did Don McLean have another hit besides American Pie?

No, he's really a one-hit wonder.

That's kind of what I thought.

I wasn't sure.

Oh, no, he had a hit with Copa Cabana.

Oh, I'm sorry, that was Barry Manilow.

No.

Can you imagine?

Can you imagine?

That's a lot of like.

Yeah, they really are.

Don McLean and Barry Manilow.

Did he have a print of an American flag on his thumb, too?

Yep.

Yeah.

You know, I'm trying to think about how Don McLean's Copa Cabana goes.

I think it was something like that.

I should play that today.

The length of it, it kind of equals three or four.

Well, one thing's for sure, you know your one-hit wonders.

And we'll take a few more calls, but let's talk about some other stuff.

Let's get into our hit-and-run headlines, and I'll update you on what's going on.

Scientists may have figured out how to stop aging.

Thanks for dragging your feet there, you jerks, replied Courtney Cox.

She's saved her a lot of work.

Some Democrats worry that President Biden is a little too old to run for office again, but Biden's tuning them out literally turned off his hearing aids.

So you know this new COVID variant is called Arcturus, which means that somewhere Elon Musk just got an awesome new name for his next baby.

73rd, something like that.

A woman reportedly reached, well, we'll just call it the height of pleasure.

Let's say while the LA Philharmonic played Tchaikovsky.

So there's no word if she was having sex or just fiddling, but.

Oh, I'm sorry, they call it violin playing in the symphony.

Over the weekend, New York held a gun buyback program where it exchanged 3,000 guns for gift cards, though all the participants asked for their guns back when they found out the gift cards were to bed, bath, and beyond.

So there is a Florida woman shot and killed her parrot with a Glock handgun.

Yikes, guess she was out of crackers.

A federal court ruled that a Pennsylvania school must allow an after-school Satan club.

Good lord.

The club celebrated the ruling by toasting with, multiple choice, A, champagne, B, tequila shots, or C, goat's blood.

12 years ago today, US Special Forces killed Osama bin Laden.

It was pretty clever that they got him to open the door by pretending to be Jehovah's Witnesses was what happened.

So Dwayne The Rock Johnson turns 51 today.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson or Mr. Rock, I know you're streaming us online at 1057KOKZ.com.

Happy birthday!

And he's going to be celebrating with a cheat meal, which by the way is twice as big as Kevin Hart.

And by the way, Johnson has a degree in criminology, but unfortunately he won't investigate the crime of stealing your $12 when you saw Black Adam.

And just in case you want to get him a gift, pass on the human growth steroids.

He's all set in that department.

Okay.

Yeah.

Meghan Markle signed with a new talent agency.

And yes, I used air quotes when I said talent.

And finally, Aerosmith has announced its farewell tour.

After this, it's time for Steven Tyler to hang up.

A, his microphone, B, his guitar, or C, his scarves.

Oh, lovely scarves.

That's all I got.

All right, now that we've accomplished that, let's hit and run into a few more one-hit WonderTunes day calls.

Remember, too shy?

Too shy shy.

Hush, hush.

That one?

Taja Goo Goo.

Well put.

You know, I think they should get together.

Here's what I think this band should do.

This band should get back together and then go on tour with the Go-Go's, Lady Gaga, and the Goo Goo Dolls.

Then call the tour Kaja Goo Goo Goo Goo Gaga Goo Goo Dolls.

It

just rose off the

top.

It sure does.

Hey, good morning to you, sir.

Good morning to you.

How are you?

I'm my seventh cup of coffee, so I should be fine.

Holy son of a- is it- is it decaf?

No.

Good.

Does that just be a waste of fluid?

Yep.

Yep.

I've got a one-hit wonder for you.

Okay.

Do you want

to go back

to the early 70s?

I'm there.

Me, Michaels?

Do you know what I mean?

No, I don't know what you mean.

Is that a singer?

Yes, Lee Michaels.

Yes, Lee Michaels, one hit wonder.

Apparently nobody knew what he meant.

Maybe that's why he was only a one hit wonder.

He runs a restaurant in California.

Oh, really?

A seafood restaurant.

Well, you know, it is a better name for owning a restaurant than a rock star.

Lee Michaels doesn't sound like a rock star, you know?

You know some about Lee Michael.

See, I don't know anything about Lee Michael's other than he has a song called Do You Know What I Mean.

So I've learned something.

Thank you for the Lee Michael's trivia.

Well,

you're

welcome.

All right, man.

Well, you good luck on the eighth cup of coffee and make sure the men's room is near at all times.

All right, before we wrap this thing up with a few more One Hit Wonder Tunes Day calls, I think there are a few things that you're not hearing about that you really should

know.

Here's

a question, is cereal soup?

Hmm, I would say no.

Cereal is not soup.

Well, here's why I'm asking you.

20,000 people took an online poll and one in nine people said that cereal is soup.

I don't want to say that those people are dopes, because if it's one in nine people, well, you know, there must be, what, like 10% listening who thinks that cereal...

is soup and moving along I forgot to mention our sponsor for the five things you didn't know you needed to hear thank god for the teachers

today show is brought to you by national teachers day also known as people not getting paid enough to watch your spoiled rotten kids day

here here here here not paid nearly enough thank you thank you thank you thank you teachers

Okay, so we've all been hearing about AI, the artificial intelligence, the chat GPT.

Well, now the godfather of AI has left Google and opening up about the dangers that are lying ahead with this new tech.

Speaking of the godfather, one of my favorite movies, imagine AI replacing iconic movie characters.

That's one of the dangers right there.

We now

take you.

I'm going to make him an author.

He can't review.

into the not too distant future.

Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me.

When AI will replace

humans.

But, until that day, accept this justice, as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.

Godfather AI.

Coming soon to an impending artificial intelligence world apocalypse near you.

Leave the flash drive, take the gun only.

Oh, I hope not.

It's not intelligence.

It's artificial intelligence.

Please keep that in mind and let's not get carried away, okay?

So there's a Rhode Island guy thought off would be catalytic converter thieves.

Here's what they did.

They attempted to steal it.

off his car, the catalytic converter, while he was inside eating his breakfast.

Inside the car, eating his breakfast, these people came along, tried to steal his catalytic converter.

So this is Francisco Medrano talking about being attacked.

I hear grinding noise.

I look in the passenger mirror and I see just two legs under my car and I just jumped out.

And I've always wondered what would happen if I caught somebody in the act and I guess it happened.

Somebody stabbed me in the face with saws all in it.

That's just

insane.

I don't know.

I don't know if you've heard about this.

This was in South Korea.

There's an art piece there, which, by the way, is a banana duct tape to a wall.

That's it.

Maybe you want to consider that art.

Maybe you want to be more like me and think it may be not art.

But an Italian artist named Maurizio Casalan has created multiple versions of this art piece.

and one sold for 120 grand in 2019.

So, fast forward to last week.

An art student walked up to the banana, removed it, ate it, then taped the peel back on.

to the wall.

So the museum says the student told him he ate the banana because he was hungry.

So the museum replaced the peel with a fresh banana.

They notified the artist, but he didn't have any reaction to it.

I can't imagine why, but that's possibly because this happened before when the previous version was displayed in 2019.

Somebody went up to the banana and ate it.

That's just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

I hate to end with bad news, but I'm gonna... Gordon Lightfoot!

has passed away last night.

He is 84.

I don't know if you knew this piece of trivia, but Sundown was about his girlfriend at the time.

Her name was Kathy Smith, and after their relationship was over, she made news for injecting John Belushi with that fatal drug dose in 1982.

I think we need to do a little tribute to Gordo.

How about a little something from Gordon Lightfoot?

Not a one-hit wonder, but still.

In tribute to Gordo,

light foot coming up next.

And I think that's five things.

You know everything now.

There you go.

You know those five things.

You're ready for the day.

And now let's wrap up this Water's Wake Up call in a nutshell.

Toonsday edition with a few more One Hit Wonder Calls.

Hello.

Tommy Tutto.

I think that number, my wife's number, and my own number, those are the only three phone numbers I know anymore.

Do you ever wonder what that part of your brain is doing that used to memorize phone numbers?

No, you just go to your phone and you hit the name.

It's like Bob.

Boom.

I have no idea what Bob's number is.

My smartphone knows.

You lose your smartphone and Bob just becomes a former friend.

Or Jenny.

Or Jenny with the last name.

You know what her last name was?

Her last name was Jenny Jenny Jenny who can I turn to?

I Don't know what her middle name was though.

Maybe that was Jenny as well Jenny Jenny Jenny

I

May have to get out the big ugly shovel and dig up Tony the Franco and his family

Yeah,

yeah, you think you think I should

yeah

I

like

that

song.

Do you remember when that was on the radio?

Oh,

yeah.

Yeah.

Kevin Nade.

Did you ever have your tape recorder, and you'd have it there by the speakers in your radio, and you would try and record that song on a tape cassette?

Yep.

That was one of those.

Then I know it was a favorite of yours, because that's how we made mixtapes back then.

Uh-huh.

Also did Richard

Pryor, too.

Oh, Richard Pryor.

Sure, I've heard of him.

You know, his real last name was DeFranco.

Less is more, especially since it's the second time you've called.

You're a two-call

wonder.

Chumbawomba came to my mind.

You get knocked down.

You get up again.

But I get up again.

Yeah.

Chumbawomba.

Why didn't- That's the theme song of my life, brother.

And what's the weird name of that song?

Tubsurfing.

Exactly.

Very nicely done.

Very nicely done.

Yes.

We

should- I will knock down, but I get up again.

You know, it sounds like they got drunk, so they kind of passed out and maybe got up again because they're talking about, uh...

There you go.

A lager drink.

I would think that they'd probably be passing out if they're mixing all those alcohols together.

That's bad news.

That's bad chemistry.

Less is more.

That's life.

That is life.

You're right.

You get knocked down, but you get up again.

If you get knocked down and stay down, well, to hell with you.

You don't deserve to continue with what you were doing.

Oh, and by the way, we gave away some flock of seagulls tickets this morning.

They're going to be over at McGrath on July 19th.

Let's see who won.

Hey.

What's up today?

Well, I heard flock of stegals, but oh my gosh, I must call.

You must.

You either call or they're going to number two on your head.

I don't know.

That's not true.

That's not true.

It could be.

That's true.

I think that's probably how they got their name was a flock of seagulls Did not like the hairstyle of the lead singer so they do do it all over it, right?

Yes Yeah,
