VaLenTuNesDay: Theme for the one you love.

Well, hello, lovers.

It's Mike Waters from the Waters Wake Up Call, celebrating Valentine's Day this morning, playing theme songs for our significant others.

Go

back a few years, and I'd like to see if you could play Ronnie Hawkins' Mary Lou for my significant

act.

So Mary Lou, is that her name?

Is it kind of a negative song?

No,

no, her name is Jennifer, but she went too often to the room to pick my last $2 bill.

oh

my oh my that's that's disturbing okay good it's all good now because you know you're done you're split up she gone right yeah good those things are rare these days you know

By the last six cows, I want you to do faithfully for my wife with Cardia on nurse.

Of course I will play journey.

It's the least I can do for nurses.

You need to go look her up when you go to the doctor.

See

what she's doing.

Well, what's your name?

Jen.

Jen.

I'll just go in and say, hey, where's the cow milkers wife at?

That's what you do, yeah.

Yep.

That's what I'm going to do.

And then they'll probably take me right.

Oh, you mean Jen?

Well, come this

way.

I'll show you.

Yep.

Should we back it up?

Okay, good.

She may have married me for almost 30 years.

That's a long time.

Oh, man, that's patience.

I know.

That is, she's got the faithful gene.

You probably know me well enough.

I'm probably not the easiest person to be married to.

Yeah,

I can kind of see that.

You seem like a decent guy, though.

I am.

Now

would that be her theme song?

You shook me all night long?

That's her.

Does I rock her world?

Right, because you're the one shaking her all night long.

That's right.

Now is it because she has bad dreams often?

Honey, how do you wake up?

What up?

And then she goes back to sleep, has another bedroom.

Honey, and you're shaking her, and you're shaking your turn to wake her up.

Is that the kind of thing that goes on in the ding-dong bed at night?

Yeah, at our age.

Nightmares.

Lying next to ding-dong, and that's the reason probably for the nightmare

as well.

I ain't too sure about that.

No.

You know I'm half kidding you, ding-dong.

Yeah, I

know.

Yeah.

You shoot me all night long!

For the nightmares of being married to Ding Dong.

I would think with a name like Ding Dong, it'd be Hell's Bells,

but... Did anyone have to play a song for my wife?

Yeah!

What do you think?

What's your wife's theme song?

Red-headed woman by Bruce Springsteen.

Red-headed woman?

I don't know.

I'm not familiar with that one.

I'll have to take a look for it.

I'm not sure if we have that one.

I haven't heard it for a while.

I know it starts off with something like...

Brutus are fine, and blondes are great, but red-headed women, something, something.

I can't remember, but I'd like to hear it.

I haven't heard it for a while.

Are you sure you don't want to know what the something-something is first before you play it, if red-headed women are something-something?

Yes.

Good.

I've forgotten, and then you'll get in trouble without meaning to.

Right, you should probably check out the lyrics before I dedicate some more.

How about some old Joan Jett beat-

Okay, so just so I'm sure of what you said, say that one more

time.

I don't

jet the black heart.

So you're saying your wife nags you a lot?

Well, that's what I would imply, yes.

Of course, Waters.

It's pretty obvious.

But still, I just want to make sure I know that you are specifically calling your wife a nag.

What does she nag you about?

Is she right in nagging you about certain things?

Or does it annoy you?

Or probably

both?

Probably both, yes.

They both would be fair.

Wild thing.

So what makes her wild?

You can't say she's a wild thing

and then not say what gets her to that nickname.

I changed into locker room.

Yeah.

And she was given welding mitts by my coworkers because my back was so scratched down.

Welding gloves to protect you.

Okay, now I'm just wondering here.

Did she scratch your back because it itched?

Or was it another reason I shouldn't go into due to the fact that children may be listening?

It's been a few years ago.

Have fun this Friday on Valentine's Day.

Maybe you can take the welding gloves off her and just let her go wild.

My back was really wild.

Never mind.

That's another story.

You have a nice day now.

Yeah, you've unloaded enough.

Thanks, man.

Good morning, Mike.

Oh, there you are.

It's just

about to hang up on you.

I must have sat in the wrong place there.

Maybe.

My shop is kind of hitting this.

What is your shop?

What do you do?

I work on small engines.

OK.

One more tractors with more snowblowers.

Small engines.

I'll call you the little engine that could from now on.

I wish I could do stuff like that.

I just don't have the head for it.

Yeah, well, you get the head for radio stuff.

And the face.

Don't forget the face.

And if I didn't have you to listen to in the morning, then whoa.

what I do, but be bored with my tractors and snow blowers.

I'm glad that I can lift your day a little bit.

Can you do?

Yes,

good.

Good.

So what can I do for you now to lift your day even higher than it is?

Before I lost my wife a few years ago, I thought of a song that will work for guys like me called Imaginary Lover by Latterism Section.

That was my girlfriend in high school.

Yeah, well, I wasn't going to push that, but.

I had her for a while.

You had her for a while.

Yeah.

I'm sure she's been with a lot of guys.

The guys whose lover is imaginary are many and widespread for the invisible girl on your arm.

There you go.

Weekday mornings, 5.30 to

10.
