Is it just me, or can anybody else hear Cheap Trick covering "Fox on the Run" by Sweet? Or am I just hearing Sweet's influence on CT?

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that this week was our annual encounter with the quirky edit on Sedaka's "Bad Blood", where they took the word "promise" from a different line and created "The promise is in the smile", deleting the B-word. And as happens every year, there are folks in the Facebook group saying "OMG! I never heard that before!" even tho' Premiere has been running that version for years.  |

'The promise is in the smile' comes from the first chorus. The line with the B word was used in the second and third choruses. So 'the promise' line ends up being used for all 3 choruses. This is something that Premiere started doing in the last few years. None of the shows that had "Bad Blood" in them in the 2012-16 time frame had the B word line replaced. |

And yet the 'bee-yotch' continues to be back in every fall '74 show that Premiere runs with Elton's song in the 40. A very puzzling choice by Premiere to edit one and not the other.  |

Does Premiere edit out the b word on Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl"? |

I don't believe Premiere ever touched "Rich Girl".

Good one mrjukebox! Casey mentioned that about "No More Tears" in the 1979 show a couple weeks ago.. I wondered how many other times that happened. One he mentioned was "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" which was on last week's show. So that's 3 weeks in a row such a thing has occurred in the 70s show. |

We just got some hint that this weekend's AT40: The 70's show for the November 30-December 1, 2024 weekend is from November 23, 1974.
1977 gets the shaft again. Maybe in December we might get 12/17/1977 last played in 2018?

What a strange date to select. Usually when they go from the 22nd to the 23rd when you figure it will be a later date in the month like 11/30, that later date comes the following week. Except it will be December by then.
Actually both 1974 shows were played in the last 5 years. So either is surprising.
