Is it just me.... or do the rest of the team sound very bored and irritated when Chris does the "80's" mornings (like today), when the rest of team members have to guess the tune, etc., etc.

It would be better if this was done properly, rather than just random bits & pieces of songs.... why not just take some time and play the full versions of the songs. Thank you.

[Boboff]

No you are wrong, it was great, ha ha

[foot-loose]

I was playing along with them!

[Ballbag]

Reflex - Duran Duran......... one of the best songs ever.

[Vivienne]

So was I, Foots, but everytime you start to get into a song, the next thing... it's gone and they do something else.

[foot-loose]

yeah, but that was kinda the game!

I do the same when they play "Name That Theme". Im a bit of a tv theme buff/geek!

[Vivienne]

Can tell you're a geek. ha ha.

I loved it, I played along and I won! I knew every one of them! How sad is that...?

[pjordan2000]

I was playing a long too. I kept thinking Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up will be suggested by one of the team but i was disappointed!

Maybe shows that the 'real age listener' of this show is much more that 18-25!!!
More random 80s songs - lets give the youngsters something to listen to!

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

More Smiths!

Er - it's just you, I think. Chris is just showing off, of course, but the team are all thirtysomething and grew up listening to that stuff. I think they enjoy a little reminiscing.

why not just take some time and play the full versions of the songs.

The Music Department won't allow it. Not on the playlist...

[MK Chris]

Do the artists get full royalties for playing a small intro to the song? Just wondering.

[LastMinute]

I think they get something. Chris occasionally makes fun of Rachel having to scribble down every snippet he plays. But I have no idea how PRS works.

[Yudster]

Isn't it that they get nothing if they play 1-20 seconds, then something for 20-30 seconds and then more...something like that anyway? I vaguely remember Chris saying something once about Rachel telling him off because he played a few seconds too much of something and they had to pay....??

[Iced-T]

I loved all that!

[Vivienne]

You learn something new every day.

I believe it's free for the first 7 seconds of a song, I may be wrong there though.
