Taken from February 1st, 1975... Comin' up on AT40, a Top 40 hit by one of the most weirdly instrumented established rock groups in the business, among the regular members are 2 cello players and a violinist. You take a guitar, a bass, a keyboard instrument and a set of drums and you got yourself a basic rock band, but if you add to that, 2 cellos and a violin, then you got something called the Electric Light Orchestra, a British group formed in 1972, their objective in going with odd instrumentation was pretty ambitious, as guitarist Jeff Lynne puts it, they wanted to create a fusion of pop and classical music that would make rock obsolete, so they released this single you're listening to right now, the following year, the Electric Light Orchestra remake of Chuck Berry's Roll Over Beethoven, well, I don't think it'll make rock obsolete, but it certainly was different, I like their latest hit, it moves up this week to #29, it's titled, Can't Get It Out of My Head, the Electric Light Orchestra... - Casey Kasem, 2/1/1975  |

What I found was interesting is that Casey had a problem with mentioning "I Want Your Sex" in 1987, but he didn't have a problem saying "The pregnant dog is Back" in 1974. Different meaning I guess.

LOL! Proboards changed the B-word of the song when I posted. How's that for irony??

In this week's 80s show, 11/22/86, Casey after outroing "Stand By Me" from Ben E. King, says "it still sounds as good as ever". So from that, I would assume he liked the song.

And yet, the following year (75), if memory serves, AT40 always edited that same word out of "Bad Blood" when it rode the countdown. Inconsistent standards. |

If they did, they didn't do it during the week of Nov. 15, 1975 because I just listened to it last week. For some reason, (probably because I was 2 at the time) I've never listened to, "Bad Blood". When the chorus hit, and that line hit, I was like, "did I just hear that"?!?  |

They substituted the "The woman has got to lie" line for "the b-word is in her smile" in every chorus. |

That's funny. Talk about your inconsistent standards!

On this week's 1973 show, while introing Rocky Mountain High, Casey said Denver's Jet Plane was one of his favorite lyrics.

These outtakes and transcriprts where Casey is swearing up a storm are such a scream. I'm sure Casey never imagined how huge they would be in a few short years. I remember hearing a story of how U2 were singing in a bar with drunken patrons and one of them requested "Let's Twist Again" by Chubby Checker and how Casey would end up singing the song off-key. Another time Casey sung the refrain of "Falling In Love Again" by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine adding the comment, "And you know why I don't sing".

I recall saying how much he liked EMOTIONS by Helen Reddy couple of times, and sounded disappointed when the song dropped after climbing 3 notches. Also recall him saying how much he liked the lyrics for TELL ME A LIE by Sami Jo as well. He liked Emotions as you wrote and You're My Wrold as others have written, but the Helen Reddy song that he loved, yes loved was... You and Me Against the World. And he said so at the end of the song on the 8/31/74 show played this week. Last week SXM played the previous week's show (8/24/74), and from his introduction of it I got the impression he really liked Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You". I wondered if he was disappointed that he didn't get to announce the song reaching #1 on that October 5, as there was a special countdown that week (if so, he did get to play it at the top of the next week's chart.) |

Anyone notice Casey stopped his personal comments on songs by the late 70s? Guess he didn't like disco or 80s pop much?

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but on the Aug. 31, 1974 countdown (airing today), he mentioned that Helen Reddy's "You And Me Against The World" was one of his favorites.
