The Rebel Black Dot Songs of the Day
Brother Bones & His Shadows, "Sweet Georgia Brown" via iTunes (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: The Washington Generals, those perpetuals punching bags of the Harlem Globetrotters, were the subject of a segment on Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me! (which really should be titled Wait, Wait… Don't Tell Me!), and from that moment no song other than "Sweet Georgia Brown," more commonly known, including to yours truly, as the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters, could possibly have been today's R.B.D.S.O.T.D.

Freitag, 5 Februar
The Atomic Fireballs, "Swing Sweet Pussycat" from Torch This Place (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Many levels of meaning, spanning trouble with my mom's new cat, Diva, to the free swing dance lesson I attended in the evening.

"You bet on the Washington Generals?"

"I thought they were due!"

According to Wait Wait…, the Generals have prevailed against the Globetrotters exactly twice.

Odd. What? I imagine that a few people got sent back down to the D-League after that.
