Awesome! Normally I'm not sure about the Records of the Week on the first day and then they grow on me later on. But this one actually made me dance now.

This can Duck Off... nah I don't mind it, probably a grower for me. Viv, you're gonna wreck something with all that hate for this, but at least we know where to send the Bill*...

Er.... I am perfectly entitled not to like something!! If you want a bunch of lies, I guess I'm probably not the person to approach!! (honk, honk).

Seriously, play a little "trying to be catchy" song, throw in the words "Barbara Streisand", and expect me to be impressed. F*** off.

I would go as far as to say it's actually a bloody insult to a great lady.

O, and they couldn't even be bothered to make a video?! Well, it really is ALL. TOO. MUCH.

Oh god yeah didn't realise I'd heard that til Moyles played it this morning...

On the plus side Moyles played Marina and the Diamonds and Ke$ha (Tik Tok... I think) VS Katy Perry (Teenage Dreams or California Girls, they sound so similar to each other to me) this morning, that was good.

Anything can go on a playlist these days... Simply anything, you know.

Where did standards go. :-(

Well, I suppose it's whatever's selling well. There's a ton of new stuff that comes out that doesn't get played.

I could be wrong, but I thought the playlist is originally made up of songs before they are actually released on sale. I agree though, it's awful how much is released that we don't hear on Radio 1's seriously limited playlist.

Anyhow as to the song. It's pure crap, camp gay disco stuff. If it hadn't been 'Barbara Streisand', it would've been 'Judy Garland'. I think it's fun and would shake my tail feather to it. Wouldn't go so far as to buy it though.

PS Sorry Tyler, but I do agree with Tom that you could probably have done a bit more with the duck puns. There must be masses. 'Water off a duck's back' etc.

I can hear it now with 'Judy Garland' on it instead. Love it!I also think it would work well with Bette Midler and Dolly Parton

Er.... what?! :|

You've done well with the thread, Tyler!! As least you made the effort, which is the main thing!!

BTW, I heard Scott say it's a tribute to Streisand, but it's a poor tribute.

Oh God. I might have known. :|

I've decided this song may be fun if you're drunk..... either that, or it may make you wish to throw yourself out a window. :0-/

That would depend on your disposition... someone of your happy character would find it fun while drunk I guess :P

    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
