For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER)
I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then never get around to it.
Well, now I’m getting around to it!
It will pretty much follow the pattern of The Most Awesomest Song of the Day.
I’ll select a song to celebrate and then give my thoughts about it. Nothing really brand new here that hasn’t been done before. But since I have a website, I can collect them and lay out what my own greatest songs are.
My radio show, “Prime Time Theme Attic,” is on Monday nights 8PM-10PM ET but is on hiatus because of the pandemic.
Even though I always emphasize new music and artists, it’s always fun to take a short drive through the legendary artists, since they influenced those other artists!
But a song doesn’t have to be old or done by a legendary Theme Attic Hall of Fame member to be thus honored.
I can think of several songs that are only a few years old or less that I could identify as One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded.
This will be fun, and hopefully you will join me on my journey…at least sometimes!

How about some Friday music double entendre fun!
I have the perfect band in mind: Jehova Waitresses!
Here’s how they describe their music:
“If Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks had a baby…you’d be jealous, but it’d sound kinda like this.”
Ohio’s Jehova Waitresses released their Philby Award winning song, “Box for My Banana” on their “Route 5” album!
The song is either about a trip to the local fruit market…or something else entirely different!
For example, the singer is looking for a Cutie: Is it the citrus fruit, or the lady who gives him a lipstick smile?
Who knows? It might be both! That’s what makes double entendres so much fun! They work on several levels.
“Box for My Banana” is a catchy folk flavored tune with a suspect vocal, that just happens to be perfect for the song!
It always makes me laugh, but I’m not sure about putiing my banana on a plate!
However, I am open to suggestions!
