Waters here from the waters wake up call tunes name morning We were talking about breakup tunes.
Have you ever broken up with anyone?
Yeah,
what if you're always the one who's been dumped?
I'm just using a friend as an example for that not of course my own personal experience So is it a Christmas song that's your breakup tune let it in let it in let it
in
10cc, I'm not in
love.
I'm not in love by 10cc.
Did you say, you know what, listen to this 10cc song, don't call me or come over or
anything.
No, it's just a really mean song.
Then I would never use it.
Oh sure.
I say, you know what, I suck, you deserve better.
Why do you do that?
I'll call you.
Yeah, I'm moving to Paris for the rest of my life.
So unless you're moving to Paris, I guess we're done.
I'll move to Paris with you.
Can I tell her?
Can I tell her?
Can I tell her?
What if the one go on, take the money and run?
That would be Steve Miller, take the money and run.
That's it, yeah.
So
now does this involve you, a divorce, and taking all the guys' stuff?
No,
somebody
else's, and that's what I
told her.
Go on, take the money and
run.
Now, were their names Billy Joe and Bobby Sue?
We'll call them that for now.
That might be a better idea.
Now, did they know a sheriff down in Texas?
No, that wasn't where it happened.
No, did they watch a lot of Tube?
We're
not going there.
I didn't mean it that way.
Jeez.
It was a good break-up song for her anyway.
Well, right, and it is about Bobby Sue taking the money from Billy Joe, but... And rent.
Yeah, but Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day.
That's true, but it doesn't say what happened to him afterwards.
Well, they headed down south and they're still running today, apparently.
Apparently.
Driving along here and I have to think of the perfect, unexpected breakup song.
Yeah.
Silver River Band, Happy Anniversary.
Now, how is
that a breakup song?
You listen to it.
I mean, I always used to play it in the morning on our anniversary.
And then one day we start listening to the words and talking about a breakup.
Well, what do you know?
It's always fun.
It's funny how we see titles and the title has to be what the song is about, but a lot of times that's not true.
So it's funny that you say that.
I'm gonna have to check the lyrics and see what's going on with that.
So it's no longer your anniversary song, I hope.
Yeah, breaking
up is hard
to do.
The original or the 70s version?
Oh lord, I only know one version.
In the 70s, he put out a really slow version of it.
Did you ever use that to break up with somebody?
Well, after she broke up with me, I thought of that song, but... Yak is breaking up.
It was hard to do with her.
It sure wasn't her.
I know that story myself, boy.
That was many years ago.
I'm okay now.
Good.
I was gonna sit here and console you for 10, 15 minutes, but I'm glad...
I don't have to do that now.
Yeah, I don't have time for that.
Yeah, me neither,
as a matter of fact.
All right.
All right,
man.
Thanks for calling.
Breakup song.
My step-grandfather, Clem Dinger, always said it.
No, hold on.
Say that again.
My step-grandfather, Clem Dinger.
Is that his real name?
That was his real name.
He had a twin brother named Roy.
Roy Dinger.
Does he have another brother named Hum?
No, he said it's bad for a relationship to end with a shot of penicillin.
The Nazareth song, Love Hurts.
Yeah, well, it's funny you say Love Hurts because that's mine.
This girl dumped me when I was a junior in high school.
I went home.
I was, you know, I was bummed and I turned on the radio and on the radio was Love Hurts by Nazareth.
Hey, fate is a funny thing.
It wasn't funny then, but it is now.
Before that day, I thought the song was about, you know, love hurts, you were doing it wrong, but then I found out what it really was.
I'm never climbing down the boat after breaking up with my girlfriend and crying my eyes out and going, why me?
Why?
I'll do the song, hold on loosely.
Oh, man.
You should have held on tightly.
Or did you let go?
Was that the problem?
Well, I think I suffocated her.
So it was murder, not a break-up.
Well, that doesn't count then.
Dang it!
Yeah, you know what?
I'll do murder tunes in two weeks.
Oh, okay.
You weirdo.
I know.
That's
why I'm still single.
Yes.
Stay that way, please.
I've got a-
Morning's 530 to
10.
