That is, of course, the Average White Band, taking you back to the '70s. Those big bands had all kinds of brass instruments and just kind of a disco feel to it, but not quite, a little rocky, with 'Pick Up the Pieces.'

And that's kind of what happens sometimes in life. Life just throws the stuff at you, and you've got to pick up the pieces. There's a little self-esteem over there, a little courage over there. Right back here would be your confidence, and that's just what you've got to do when life hands those things on to you.

I want to welcome you to mentalhealthradio.ca. You're listening to the Langdon Auger Show. Hopefully you're going to be here for the whole two hours, and hopefully you're going to make a request or two. That's kind of what we do here. We also chit-chat.

Robin was just mentioning watching the Judds documentary last night and just how much those ladies actually had to go through, but what a successful pair they were. They made some great music. Maybe we'll get some Judds a little bit later for Robin. And right now we've got some Cream and 'White Room.'

00:17:59

To the show. That is Sade, of course, with 'Smooth Operator.' The Tea Party was on before that with 'Heaven Coming Down,' and we started off with Cream and 'White Room.' Now we're in the chat room, and Robin asked the question, quite simply: What do cars do at a disco? Breakdance? Oh, that's a dad joke, isn't it? It is. But thanks for that. Keep them coming.

Welcome to the Langdon Auger Show. It's Monday, April 6, so I want to welcome you in. It's our second day of our new schedule. We now run Sunday through Thursday, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. You're welcome to come on in anytime you want. Just listen to the tunes. If you want to have a little chit-chat and tell really bad dad jokes, that's fine. You want to just sit and listen? You want to request a song? That's what it's all about. That's what we're doing here. So let's get back to that music. Oh, where am I going right now? Oh yeah, I'm heading off right here. So I'm going to start off with some Electric Light Orchestra. All right.

00:30:11

Morissette and 'You Oughta Know.' Of course, that was from her giant album, Jagged Little Pill. And she appears a bit angry on that song, or is it just me? Before that, we had ABBA and 'Does Your Mother Know?' Electric Light Orchestra started off that set with 'Don't Bring Me Down.' What are we at here? We're at 6:26. Thanks again for tuning in, everybody. The Langdon Auger Show is here for you, Monday, April 6.

We've got Oliver and Robin in the chat room right now, chatting away. Come on down, listen in, add your username, save it, have a say, hi, tell us where you're from, et cetera, et cetera. Request a song, even. Why not? Right now we're going to get back to some music from Gordon Lightfoot.

00:30:56

00:42:13

There by the Bronski Beat with 'Why?' In before that, of course, we had Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show with 'Sylvia's Mother,' and Gordon Lightfoot before that with 'If You Could Read My Mind.' Twenty minutes now to 7 o'clock. I want to thank everybody for tuning in. Don't forget, we're here until 8 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, and we're playing music. We're kind of chit-chatting in the live chat room, so if you want to come down, enter your username and kind of save it, and just start chit-chatting, or just sit there and keep listening like you are right now. Just welcome to the show.

I'm going to play you now from her first album, 1992, the Come On, Come On album. The song even went to number four on the charts. Can you guess who it is?

00:53:01

Formed in 1980 by a [13?]-year-old producer, kind of a marketing guy, and it had lots of different band members. It was an all-star band. They had members from Adam and the Ants. They also had Boy George in there for a while as well, and that was Bow Wow Wow in 'I Want Candy.' Natalie Imbruglia before that with a great tune in 'Torn.' We started off with Mary Chapin Carpenter, from her 1992 album Come On, Come On, in 'I Feel Lucky.'

Ten minutes before the hour of seven. We've got one more set of music before we head into our dance portion of the show, so have a good listen. Remember to stretch out, hydrate, et cetera, et cetera. No injuries here on the Langdon Auger Show, please. Great Canadian with a great vocal, Chantal Kreviazuk.

00:53:51

01:07:47

That’s, of course, Our Lady Peace, Canada’s very own, and “Naveed.” Before that, Paul McCartney and Wings with 'Listen to What the Man Said.' We started it all off with another Canadian, which ties into Our Lady Peace. It was Chantal Kreviazuk's 'Wayne.' She was dating a man at the time that she really liked, but she wasn't quite sure if she wanted a relationship, you know, a serious one or not. And that man happened to be Raine Maida of Our Lady Peace. She didn't want to use his name. She tried other names like Blaine, Duane, and she actually stuck with Wayne because, of course, his first name is Raine. It's just that kind of a little quirky little song there. But hey, welcome to it. Guess what that means? It means it's time for our dance portion of the show. Robin picked the song that we're going to dance to, at least chair dancing. It's a song that might cause a heart attack on my end if I actually got up and moved around to it, so I'm glad it's a chair dance tune. But it's a good one. It's coming up right after this.

01:08:47

01:18:08

That's The Judds and 'Girls' Night Out.' Before that, we had Trooper, our dance song of the day, with 'The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car.' We started off with Mashmakhan and 'As the Years Go By.' Fifteen minutes after seven o'clock. Now we only have about 45 minutes left in our show. I want to thank everybody for tuning in.

Don't forget, we do this again tomorrow night, starting at 6 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, or 9:30 in Newfoundland, as Oliver keeps saying. Come on by. We're doing this. We're running right straight through until Thursday. This is our first week of five shows in a row. So hopefully you can catch one of them and maybe we can hear, even get a request from you. But we always got to do a little country. I know we just had The Judds, but we also sometimes just need one of these songs.

01:18:59

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

01:28:35

[Timing uncertain.] The 1987 album of the same name. That is George Strait, and “All My Ex’s Live in Texas.”

01:28:41

Johnny Cash before that with “Rockabilly Blues (Texas 1955).” Started off with a little Alabama, “Born Country.” You've been countrified. Welcome to it. We only had a little over half an hour left here on the Monday show. But thanks, everybody, for tuning in. We're going to continue on with some more music.

01:29:00

[Audio not transcribed.]

01:39:41

Well, great tune there from the Five Man Electrical Band, “Moonshine (Friend of Mine).” Journey in before that with 'Open Arms.' Extreme's 'More Than Words' from their Extreme II album, Pornograffitti, a little funked-up fairy tale, as they called it. How are y'all doing? Twenty-five minutes left in the show. We have one more set to go.

Yesterday, we decided that we're going to kind of end the show on one of these great epic songs that have been throughout our history. Oliver chose the one that's coming up today, so stick around for that one. But first, a little Paul Simon. [Timing uncertain.]

01:40:16

[Interlude or untranscribed audio.]

01:53:03

[Opening word unclear.] Bands, I would think. In my opinion, that’s Lighthouse with 'One Fine Morning.' They've got an amazing summertime tune called 'Sunny Days.' You've heard of it. I know you have. And they're just simply underrated. That big, big brass sound. Before that, of course, The Kinks with 'Dedicated Follower of Fashion.' And we started it off with Paul Simon and 'Graceland.'

Well, that's it for this Monday show, April 6. I want to thank you for tuning in. Thanks for the requests. Don't forget, we do this again tomorrow, starting at 6 p.m. Mountain Standard Time. We're trying to do something new here today where we're going to play a long song that has to be at least eight minutes long to end the show, because sometimes it's just so hard to pick songs just to kind of end the show. So even though, don't tell my producer, we're going to be running over the two hours, it's just something that we're going to try. See how that works.

This one here, you need to get out your patchouli, your flower shirts, and your VW microbus. Happy mental health to you, 'Alice's Restaurant,' Mr. Arlo Guthrie. [Timing uncertain.]
