on the drive with kenny jones – i took some flack recently for not having a weekend tune up song. i told the kenny jones disciples that everyday is like the weekend on the drive… (insert cricket sounds here)

yeah, right. the drive contingent didn’t go for that either. i was told if rob stevens from the beat breakfast plays “i’m so excited” by the pointer sisters, then i need a song to kick start the weekend.

so we went in search of a weekend tune up song for thursdays on the drive. have a listen to how it came about…

so what can i say – not everyone seemed to get on board with bubba sparxx – ms new-booty. i can’t figure it out.
i did give it a shot though. you’ve gotta give me that. unsatisfied we went on the look out for the perfect weekend tune-up songs. here’s what we found:
weekend tune-up tracks
- workin’ for the weekend – loverboy
- this is how we do it – montel jordan
- get this party started – pink
- weekend – hard fi
- let’s go crazy – prince
i thought the selection was a bit lame myself. then it hit me – my show starter every thursday is the all time greatest weekend tune up song EVER!
todd rundgren – bang the drum
okay, he’s a bit creepy – but there is not a better “weekend anthem” known to man. with a chorus like this:
“i don’t wanna work – i just wanna bang on this drum all day”
be sure to tune in to the drive at 4pm sharp to get your sample.
