Rectified Sir Bingo Wizard and my humble apologies
No worries! G50 it is!
Oh and forgot to mention this blues hit which is a propos of our little forum perhaps
As you might guess, Lucille Bogan wasn’t talking about a barbershop. There is an explicit “secret deep cut” NSFW (or this forum) version of this song out there in case the innuendos escape you. Enjoy!

Good Morning Bingo Players. Our easy call for today is N40.
Today is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year and it’s also a Wacky Wednesday!
So today I’ll make our theme “Weird but Wonderful”
My example of today’s theme, submitted for your listening pleasure, comes from Olivier Messiaen’s Turangalîla-Symphonie. While the whole piece is pretty astonishing, it’s the section called Chant d’amour (starting at *not a call* 7 minutes 10 seconds *not a call* in this recording) which just knocks me over every time I hear it. The piano/brass/percussion are supposedly representing the Earth and stone and hard things, while the Ondés Martenot is the infusion of divinity and love. The silence and then sudden filling of the room with sound provided by the Ondés Martenot always gives me chills (or perhaps a frisson as M. Olivier might say).
*No calls contained in this video*

O61 Messiaen was an interesting guy. A wonderful and at time challenging composer, a devout Catholic, and the organist for his local church nearly up until his death. These passions converged in his 1969 composition Méditations sur le mystère de la Sainte Trinité for organ in interesting ways. Check out this line of music:

When I think of weird and wonderful, there are a few that come to mind. But what sticks out to me is Loser by Beck. Filled with non-sensical lyrics that were largely improvised, yet it's so catchy that you probably know all/most the lyrics and could sing the whole song. This song wasn't even meant to be released, but was after a few people heard it and thought it could be a hit, and it was!
Too obvious...
Although I like it I alway thought this was a wierd song
No worries. You’ll just have to win again!
Intentionally tanking this game is a strategy......it's not a good strategy....but it's a strategy.
Ok. 5 Eastern has come and gone. Voting is now open. Remember, you can’t pick your own song, but what will the group choose?
