Roly-poly fish heads

TV weatherman John Hammond delivers another Funky forecast, producer Claire shares musical facts in the Rock Book Files, and listeners suggest weird and wonderful wake up tunes.

Naughty John Hammond, the weatherman off the telly, delivered another funky forecast. Hawk's long suffering producer Claire shared more interesting musical facts in the Rock Book Files, revealing that Dire Straits recorded 'Sultans of Swing' on a budget of 脗拢120 pounds, and that Slave to the Rhythm by Grace Jones was actually written for Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

Listeners also suggested weird and wonderful songs to wake up to. The 1979 cult classic 'Fish Heads' by Barnes and Barnes emerged the clear favourite. All together now...

"Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads, fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, yum!".
