The 40s, as great as the music was, also sewed the seeds of the destruction of that direction in music. That way, you get to hear "Sing Sing Sing" and "Forty Cups of Coffee." So you'll hear stuff from the late 30s and early 50s on the 40s station as well. So many songs in the GAS (Great American Songbook or just "the Songbook") came out of the 40s or became ingrained in American culture in the 40s: "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" "Satin Doll" "Hold Tight" "White Christmas" "Sentimental Journey" "Rum & Coca-Cola" "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" "Daddy" "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)" "Take the A Train" "Cow Cow Boogie" "Bobby Socks Baby" "Saturday Night Fish Fry" "On the Sunny Side of the Street" "Call It Stormy Monday" "The Woody Woodpecker Song" "I'm in the Mood for Love" "When You Wish Upon a Star" "The Way You Look Tonight" "Elmer's Tune" "Blues in the Night" "Jingle Jangle Jingle" "That Old Black Magic" "Paper Doll" "Swinging on a Star" "It's Been a Long, Long Time" "Old Buttermilk Sky" "That Lucky Old Sun" "Ain't Misbehavin'" "In the Mood" "She's Funny That Way" "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" "The Frim-Fram Sauce" "Flying Home" etc.Īll the "era" stations on satellite overlap a bit. Listening to it also helps me appreciate just how important the 40s were to us musically. From listening to it, I have caught a few references in 3 Stooges episodes that I've heard since I was a young boy but never knew what they were talking about. True, they don't delve anywhere deep enough into the music of that period but at least there's a station that plays 40s music 24/7 and they still play a decent selection. They probably use the old formula of one letter or email equals 1000 listeners.Ĥ0s on 4 is pretty nice. 40s music played on channel 4, as well as a 50s on 5, 60s on 6, 70s on 7, 80s on 8. I subscribe to satellite radio for my car.
