Sneaky Dragon

Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to a rather antic episode of Sneaky Dragon. We haven’t heard an overtired Ian and Dave struggle through a show for a while so this is a real treat!

This week on the show: opening confusion; Question and Answer episode plugs; poor rhymer; Blake’s babies; animated song ads; not speaking of; eagle vs. crow; begin on a sad note; some bee advice; horse fathers; robots and the Rocky-verse; no sleep till Sneaky Dragon; no sequels – an Incredibles 2 discussion; let’s rewrite Return of the Jedi; don’t hurt yourself, Tom Cruise; ant music; drums and wires; messy self-reflection; good clean up advice; hot water tank report; doctors and new doctors and no family family doctors; and, finally, the show ends.

Thanks for listening.

A great setting, great gags and a weak ending. A weak ending? What could the Full Marx gang be thinking??? Well, you’ll just have to tune in to find out!

Department of Corections:

Dave’s two hours sleep was really showing itself on this episode: the keyboardist who joined Yes after the departure of Tony Kaye was Rick Wakeman – not Alan Wakeman. (Dave was probably confusing him with sonn-to-be-new drummer Alan White.) Also, the third original member of The Fugs was Ken Weaver – not Ed Weaver, as dumbly suggested by al’sleepyhead Dedrick.

1) “Sunshine, Sunshine” by James Taylor from the 1968 album James Taylor

2) “Singing to the Sunshine” by Cardinal from the 1994 album Cardinal

3) “Heart of the Sunrise” by Yes from the 1971 album Fragile

4) “Up on the Sun” by The Meat Puppets from the 1985 album Up on the Sun
