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I could be wrong, but I thought the playlist is originally made up of songs before they are actually released on sale.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

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • 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
