Hey waters here from the waters wake up call this morning our tunes day topic tunes that take you back to those crazy school days.
We did a lot of school activities for sports and every time we would win when we drove back into the driveway they would wear me or the champion.
Did you hear that a lot?
I hope you heard the song a lot when you came into the driveway.
We did.
I went to school with me.
We won a lot of games.
You
won
a lot of games.
Where
was this?
I went to high school in Bar Harbor, Maine.
That's quite a ways from here.
It
is.
I'm no geography scholar or anything, but I know that's a ways.
That's a heck of a drive.
It sure
is.
Did you commute there every day from Iowa?
I know.
I thought about it a couple times when I passed that opportunity.
Oh, sir.
I understand.
Well, that's cool.
Queen winning games, man.
That's a great memory, I'm sure, for a lot of people.
Yes.
Absolutely.
I never heard that song much in high school.
My song was more Lonesome Loser by the Little River Band.
I'm glad you won.
My thanks for doing a good job and keeping us going out
here.
Good morning, Mike.
Well, good morning.
How are you?
I am doing well.
Oh, good.
Is there
a tune that takes you back?
Make me smile by Chicago.
Yeah?
Where does that bring you back to?
Band.
I think we played that one in, uh, if not band marching band for sure.
We
did marching band.
We did pep band.
Right.
It was a staple.
I don't know if you had this particular one as a staple, but I always hated the song.
It was called The Horse.
We did.
I hated that song so
much.
good about that was if you had a decent drummer who could really go to town in the eight bars that he had.
That's true, but I played trombone and that trombone part was... Nothing.
That's funny.
I'm gonna have to think of some marching band tunes.
There are some of those.
Dragon Attack was another one.
Or vehicle.
Or vehicle, yeah.
Make me smile.
We'll do that and we'll dedicate it to all the marching band dorks.
Yeah, go the old marching band dorks.
It's Ivan.
They kept me alive, unfortunately, for you guys.
Oh, stop it.
Stop it.
Who are you, Eeyore?
Is your
first name Eeyore?
Is it Eeyore Ivan?
Eeyore Ivan.
Eeyore Ivan.
I think that's a good one.
I think I'm going to start calling you
Eeyore
Ivan.
Yeah.
So I'll be out of here in a couple, in a day or two.
You'll be out of my, what
are
you saying?
Well, I mean, I mean, I'll be out of the hospital.
I'll still be calling in, but... But what?
But I just got a...
lifestyle choices as to what I put into my body food-wise.
That's a good idea.
I
changed up my diet since I got some bad insights.
Well, take it from one who knows, man.
You have something happen to you and that's the last thing you want to happen again.
So you got
to
change some things up and once you get into the lifestyle of things really, and I was a little bit of a drinker, eater of bad things and
now I am
I am
not at all.
So,
clean living, honey.
Once you get used
to it, once you get used to it, it's nothing.
It ain't
no big deal.
It's just making the transition.
to more boring things, and then you're fine.
It's not easy.
I'm not saying it's easy.
But once you get through the transition, then it gets so much easier.
So quick, a little tidbit about, you know me, I'm a 90s baby, or an 80s baby, 90s school kid.
I think it was a summer of 96, like seventh grade.
I had a frozen pizza every single day for lunch during the summer.
Speaking of changing things up,
And did you know that the summer of 96 is the summer of 69 backwards?
It's
the summer of 96!
Hey,
good morning, Mike.
How are ya?
Good, Pac-Man.
How are you?
I'm
okay.
Excellent.
You got me thinking about, uh, Saturn's 8th fray somewhere in there.
Yeah?
Wow, I had hungry eyes for the hottest drill in
school.
What was her name?
Nicky.
Nicky?
Oh yeah.
Nicky.
Now,
why do you know that?
Were
you one of the guys?
Yeah, for like 15 minutes.
Yeah, I suppose.
Was this something that she was shooting for?
Or did you have no idea she'd dump you after 15 minutes?
I don't know, but I kept her pictured by my bedside for a six-monster
song.
Aw, you sucker.
Yep.
Yep.
Hungry eyes and darling Nikki.
Yep.
Something like that anyway.
That's all I got for ya.
Really?
You
don't seem like you
would have been.
I think
you topped it off working at Perkins?
You're an awful human being.
Yeah, it was very fun flirting with all the waitresses.
Sure.
I liked
flirting too, and I can't do that.
that anymore.
Mrs. Waters really frowns on that kind of
thing.
Oh, even she likes to do it.
I don't have a problem with it long as she's sleeping in my bed.
Okay.
Well, that sounds like a pretty good requirement, at least.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
If you could throw on a
tune.
Well, I think ACDC sounds good right about now.
Yep.
Any of them tunes, Mike would be great.
You got it.
I love listening to you.
Thank you very much for being on the radio.
Hey, we're talking about Tuesday and I remember...
I'm pretty certain it was my sophomore year of high school.
The very last song that came on for Homecoming that year was Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue.
Well, that's just way too appropriate.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Home Sweet Homecoming.
Home Sweet Homecoming.
Ever since that song, I just fell in love with Motley Crue and I felt like that song was never going to end that night.
It felt so long.
Usually when you're at a prom or something that you're having fun and
The last song comes on, usually that just goes by so fast.
So you're lucky that it felt like a long time.
And I'm sure that was a good thing, not like, oh, God, this is feeling forever.
No, you're exactly right.
Yeah.
That's awesome, man.
So what year did you graduate and from
where?
Class of 89 from Makokita Valley out of Dalai.
I've always liked just saying Makokita.
Yeah.
Yeah, a lot of people do.
Yeah.
Well, it's thank you for letting me say it again.
And I got to get Home Sweet Home on for you.
That sounds great.
Happy Tuesday.
Hey, happy Tuesday and happy reunion.
35th.
It's your 35th this year.
Yeah, October 5th.
Well, of course, you want to crank up Home Sweet Home on that day as well as I will crank it up for you, Tuesday.
Sounds
great.
Thank you.
Good morning.
You have a back to school song.
Yeah, what takes you back?
I remember the song.
I don't know what the title is.
Steely Dan, never going back to my old school.
Oh, my old school.
Just what it called.
Yep, my
old school.
Never going back to my old, boom,
school.
We need Steely Dan when water's in sink hard.
That's
right.
Steely Mike.
I'll even give you some horns.
Ba-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba.
Wow,
thank you for making my day.
As long as I don't
have to make your bed.
I would love to get some Steely Dan.
There was a band, there was a local band.
When I was living, when I was going to school there in Fargo, North Dakota, who would play that song, and we were regulars to go see this band, me and my buddy Jill, then I'd always have a few too many and just go, Steely Dan, Steely Dan, Steely Dan, Steely Dan, Steely Dan, Steely Dan, Steely Dan.
From my table.
And they'd get annoyed with me and finally play it.
That's what that reminds me of.
You're just showing your spirit for the band, you know?
That's right.
That's right.
You know, I have a story about...
Steely Dan.
Yeah.
We had a sunny days concert at the University of Northern Iowa and we had the Eagles, Ariel Speedwagon and Steely Dan was the lineup.
Ariel let off and then there was a brief pause and then whoever the lead singer spoke to me was for the Eagles come out and said that Steely Dan was not performing today, that their equipment got rained on.
Yeah.
And I had a beautiful sunny day, you know.
So they're
lying.
So there was a disagreement who was going last.
So that's why Steely Dan dropped out?
That's the story we heard.
This was probably their only tour they did, because they did one tour, hated it, and then just stuck in the studio for the rest of their career.
Yeah, and I messed up.
Oh, I'm crying now.
No.
Yeah.
Well, I hope you're married so you can find some comfort, or go find a stranger, maybe.
I
need to find.
I've never been married, so I need to find a
stranger.
OK.
Well, if there are any strangers looking for another stranger.
The waters wake up.
