Editor’s note: 2 DJs and a Boombox is exactly that. Dark Knight, a popular radio personality, and Moss Pit, a local mobile music DJ, play each other a few tunes and let their thoughts flow.

Dark Knight and Moss Pit: One, two, three …

DK: Paper covers rock, I go first.

“Grand Slam”

Little Richard

DK: I figured this was appropriate since McGwire hit 62 last night. We needed something a little basebally. This is about a year old. It was on “Little Richard’s Grand Slam Hits.”

CM: Oh, that’s classic Little Richard. Fuuunky.

I haven’t seen it, but I guess there’s an awesome “VH1: Behind The Scenes” on Little Richard, talking about how messed up he was.

DK: He’s nuts. The man is crazy. He plays himself in that movie “Why Do Fools Fall In Love.” I guess he knew the record company was taking all of his money.

CM: So did this ever get any airtime?

DK: Oh no. Not a bit. It’s Little Richard, you know, but it’s not Little Richard, because there’s not a crazy piano in the background.

CM: It’s got his vocal flavor, but not the music.

“Don’t Go (Giving Your Love Away)”

Sonia Dada

CM: This is one of my favorite groups — underrated as hell. It’s kind of rock ‘n’ roll meets gospel.

DK: I just like saying “dah-dah.” “Son-yah Dah-Dah.”

CM: They came out around the same as the band Dada — you know, “Dizz-Knee Land.”

DK: Oh yeah, and they had to it spell differently so Disney wouldn’t sue them. Disney sues everybody.

CM: Sonia Dada had three guy singers who were just amazing, but one of them had drug problems, so they replaced him with a woman. And she sings lead on this one.

DK: I’ve seen them on local concert listings.

CM: Yeah, they play at People’s quite a bit. Amazing singing. They have a real low bass singer who is incredible.

DK: I could be on an island, laying on the beach with a pina colada. Seriously, this is some mellow reggae kinda stuff.

CM: If they would have released this at the beginning of the summer and pushed it, I think it could’ve done well.

DK: It’s got a nice groove. I like it.

“I’m In Love With The McDonalds Girl”

The Blenders

DK: This is a fun, catchy tune. We don’t play it that much anymore, but it still gets a lot of requests.

CM: I don’t think I’ve ever heard it.

DK: They’re a group from Fargo. If you listen to the lyrics to this song, it’s just a riot.

CM: The golden arches light up my world. That’s hilarious.

DK: “I’ll have a quarter pounder with cheese/I want some fries/I like the look in your eyes/Will you go out with me please.” Basically, it’s just a whiny, wussy 16-year-old kid afraid to ask a girl out.

CM: “Angel in a polyester uniform.”

DK: That’s my favorite line. I used to work at McDonalds.

CM: So you can appreciate it.

DK: I wore like this dark red and brown color shirt. A great big maroon visor. Big ugly brown pants. But, I don’t know what it was. I’d never had much luck with girls. Now I’m working at McDonalds and I’m getting asked out every couple of days. I’m wearing the ugliest damn outfit I’ve ever seen in my life and girls are asking me out.

CM: I gotta get me a McDonalds uniform.

DK: I’m telling you, women love guys in uniform. It doesn’t matter what uniform it is. There was actually a few girls I got busy in the back room with.

CM: I don’t know if I care too much for this music. The lyrics are funny but …

DK: It’s one of those songs that if you hear it every once in a while, it’s fun, but when you start hearing it a lot, you get sick of it real quick.

“The Odd Couple”

Digital Underground

CM: This is the Digital Underground comeback CD I got today. I have not listened to a single thing on here. But I thought this one with Biz Markie and Humpty Hump looked good.

DK: “You, you got what I neeeed.”

CM: That’s the guy.

DK: Humpty’s still got the big hat. You could hide a small child in that hat.

CM: Oh my God, they both sound the exact same.

DK: “Who Got The Gravy?”

CM: Isn’t that a great name for a record.

DK: You go to a Hardees on a Sunday morning, and you’ll hear this a lot. “Who’s got the gravy?” All you can eat biscuits and gravy for 99 cents.

CM: There’s some big names on this record. KRS-One, Big Pun, Mystik, Shock G.

DK: Oh yeah.

You know, “Humpty Dance” is still, especially on Friday nights when I do All Request Party, one of our most requested songs. People want to hear that song. It’s a good tune.

CM: “I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.”

DK: I related to that. I worked at a Burger King too. It wasn’t in the bathroom, but it was in the building.
