We all know Toto’s “Africa”. Never heard the Hall and Oates one before: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/0kkkh2ZwWbw/maxresdefault.jpg "Africa") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kkkh2ZwWbw) Odd vocals - maybe Oates singing lead? Heh, has he ever? (kinda like the other Pet Shop Boy who sorta just stands and mopes in the background) Kinda pedestrian outing, verging on gunky, but considering the other song, I’ll stick with the pedestrian and gunky. \< maybe that’s what they should have called themselves, instead? ---

Good Morning Judge was Wynonie Harris. Also, I seem to recall some group called “The Beatles” doing a tune called “I Need You.” ---

[Louie Innis, actually.](https://archive.org/details/78_good-morning-judge_louie-innis-and-the-string-dusters-innis_gbia0002616b) I like [Buster and the Banshees’ version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGE7JBlkefE) better than his and Wynonie’s. There’s also [a cover by Phil Gordon](https://archive.org/details/78_good-morning-judge_phil-gordon-and-page-cavanaugh-trio-richard-jones_gbia0064274a) but that’s more in a novelty style. ---

I decided to look at [my favorite radio station](https://wnxp.org/)’s recently-played list to see how long it’d take me to find one I recognized. About 90 minutes before then, they played a song from Spoon’s new album titled “On the Radio.” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/3B205UiRGaU/maxresdefault.jpg "Spoon - "On The Radio" (Official Audio)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B205UiRGaU) I thought of Donna Summer’s version immediately: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/7YWMDbAZwkA/maxresdefault.jpg "On The Radio") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YWMDbAZwkA) …but I couldn’t remember if it was by her or Dionne Warwick. After googling that, I was reminded of Regina Spektor’s song that was all over my Pandora account circa 2010: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tHAhnJbGy9M/hqdefault.jpg "Regina Spektor - "On The Radio" [Official Music Video]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHAhnJbGy9M) ---

[off-topic] Yes, it sounds like John Oates to me, and [the album credits on Wikipedia confirm this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voices_(Hall_%26_Oates_album)). One more famous song with lead vocals by John Oates is their cover of “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/SXX5OtJJWDo/maxresdefault.jpg "Daryl Hall & John Oates - You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling (Official Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXX5OtJJWDo) [/off-topic] ---

Sure, it’s a sardonic take on the medium but you can snap along to it! A brief internet search also gives Beyonce, Darius Rucker, Rammenstein and Alkaline Trio as “Radio” title users and I’m sure there’s others.
