Sound of Confusion WMUA Finale 01/19/09

The final Sound of Confusion at WMUA studios goes out with it's head held high in an all-out airwave audio assault. People from the past check in to offer their congratulations and good riddances, most notable of all being Hollywood terror Jonathan Lipnicki and the dreaded return of the Providence, Rhode Island duo of Matt and Mike Darshner, better known as the River City MIDI Committee. If your ears weren't bleeding through their [literally] screaming covers of "Closing Time," "Disarm," "Jumper," or "Good Riddance," then their rip-roaring hip-hop remake of No Doubt's "Don't Speak" will come as a welcomed treat for the ears. Comedian Kenny Starr checks in from Obama's inauguration and Redman appears to have wound up in a sticky situation in Thailand. Links to download all these calls as well as the final show in its entirety follow.

"So what would happen was like Hard Nutz would play a song and then they'd have to serve ice cream to all the people who were there."

wet - like a sprinkler
is that your friend? i must have her
my chain is tangled in my chest
i have to see you breast to breast

i don't speak, you don't speak
we don't speak, they don't speak
he don't speak, she don't speak
on your knees you're a nasty freakk

choice: greater or lesser
girl you sidechain my compressor
ride like i ride the fader
you're the luke to my darth vader

As an added bonus, an associate producer from Late Night with Conan O'Brien called in to the WMUA program "Sweet Baby Lou and the Reverends of Funk" the following day to present the show and station with lawsuits.

"If [Barack Obama] can get the economic green machine going, then I'm all for it."
