Star Dust: Steyn's Serenade Radio Song of the Week
Last week we mentioned that today's edition of Steyn's Song of the Week on Serenade Radio would be the last in the series - because both Mark and his excellent producer Brian Savin are in rather poor health at the moment. There was a huge outpouring of wailing and ululations from listeners, and, as a result, Serenade management has decided to keep the show going in reruns until at least the end of the year, in hopes that the team will at least manage a Christmas special and who knows what else.
Volare (Nel blu dipinto di blu): Steyn's Song of the Week
Greetings from the 2023 Mark Steyn Cruise currently sailing the Adriatic with so many old friends. We embarked from Italy, so I thought we'd have an Italian song - and this is the biggest Italian song of the last seventy years: We begin one hot summer Sunday in 1957, in an apartment on the Via Vittoria in Rome. A proverbial struggling actor called Franco Migliacci is waiting for a friend - the one with a motor car - to swing by and drive them to Fregene for a day at the beach.
Stars Fell on Alabama: Steyn's Song of the Week
God Almighty, part of me wishes they did have vaccine passports: you do as ordered, are issued the necessary paperwork, and get your life back. But instead you do everything you're told to do - and then they tell you to do some more: wear a mask over your mask; get a booster shot of your last booster shot - and wherever it is you were planning on going has a completely different and contradictory set of rules: wear a mask over your booster shot; get your antibodies surgically removed...
Star Dust: Steyn's Serenade Radio Song of the Week
Programming note: If you missed today's audio edition of Steyn's Song of the Week on Serenade Radio in the UK, do treat yourself and catch one or other of the reruns: It airs again on Monday morn at 5.30am London time - that's 9.30pm Sunday on the US and Canadian West Coast, so a kind of late-night vibe to it, but it's early Monday afternoon in Oz, so a mellow post-prandial feel to it. Serenade has now added an additional rerun of the show on Thursday at 9pm UK time.
Here Are the Lyrics to The Ronettes' 'Sleigh Ride'
Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images Nedra Talley Ross, Ronnie Spector and Estelle Bennett Vann of The Ronettes pose for a portrait in 1963 in New York City. "Ring-a-ling-a-ding-dong-ding!" The Ronettes ride right back onto the Billboard Hot 100 with their holiday jingle "Sleigh Ride" at No. 43 (dated Dec. 14). When the girl group first came onto the Hot 100 for this Phil Spector-produced track in 2018, they had just ended their 52-year-long gap of being on the chart since Oct.
Sleigh Ride: Steyn's Song of the Week
This December at Steyn's Song of the Week we're celebrating some of the big Christmas standards, starting with a tune whose first hit version thereof is celebrating its seventieth birthday. Although they had played it on stage the year before, it was not until Christmas 1949 that Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra introduced this irrepressible piece of happy holiday music to the American public: I miss what they used to call "light music". It's an imprecise term.

Volare (Nel blu dipinto di blu): Steyn's Song of the Week #333
This week's song begins one hot summer Sunday in 1957, in an apartment on the Via Vittoria in Rome. A proverbial struggling actor called Franco Migliacci is waiting for a friend - the one with a motor car - to swing by and drive them to Fregene for a day at the beach. He's got out the towel, the swimming trunks, and a bottle of wine: He's ready to go. But the pal never shows, and after waiting an hour or two an irked Franco grabs the Chianti, drains the bottle, and dozes off.
