There's that damn song again! "Feel Like You're Feeling" Maze featuring Frankie Beverly

It's ranked on 105.9 at #573 on yes.com Meaning until this week that song has been very rarely ever played on this station! I've heard it twice in the last 3 days!!

First lines of the lyrics...

I've got something that I want to tell you,
I've got something I want you to know!
[Edited 9/9/07 14:30pm]

You know I'm listening man! Quit playing with me and tell me how I can help you!

Fine! I'll stop talking dirty, if I want to impress you!
Just get on with it, already!
[Edited 9/9/07 14:44pm]

I know y'all hear the man! He's sending y'all "Forget Me Nots" to help y'all to remember!

He's disappointed in y'all! After all this time and all the talk about how much y'all love Mojo, y'all leaving him "Hanging On String, Contemplating"!

Cloud Nine

don't let life pass you by,
Temptations: Woo, woo, woo-oo

Where only the strongest survive,
It's a dog-eat-dog world
And that ain't no lie,
Temptations: Ain't no lie

To walk the streets at night

Next song - Teddy Pendergrass When Somebody Loves You Back

It's so good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back

To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back
It's so good needin' somebody
And that somebody needs you back

We can build a world of love, a life of joy
Make our goal each other's happiness
I will do for you anything that I can
Oh, everyday I wanna do a little more
Do a little more, just a little bit more

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good wantin' somebody
And that somebody wants you back

Said it's so good

Oh...ho...

To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good needin' somebody
And that somebody needs you back

Said now 70/30
Now 60/40
Talkin' 'bout a 5-/50 love

Said it's so good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah

Said now 70/30
Now 60/40
Talkin' 'bout a 5-/50 love, yeah

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah
It's so good, good

I'm so glad that there's you
I've experienced over and over when
I've given 80% and she's given 20%
Now she's givin' 70% and I'm givin' 30
But you just don't know how it feels to have somebody
That you can share your life
Somebody that you don't mind talkin' to
Somebody that you don't mind goin' the middle of the road
I know a lot of guys today they wish they had somebody just like you
I don't know when the last time I told you
But girl, you make me so very happy
I think we've got something that a lot of people don't seem to have
Talkin' 'bout a 50/50 love, yeah


I can't speak for everybody else but I've proven my love without doubt! You better know I love you!

Next Song - Anita Baker You Bring Me Joy

You bring me joy
When I'm down
So much joy
When I lose my way your love comes smiling on me
I saw your face
And then I knew
We would be friends
I was so afraid, but your arms, they'd say 'come to me'

So I'd say to you
"Can we talk for a while?"
You'd say "alright"
When you love me, I smile
I feel your hands and you feel mine
You bring me joy

You bring me joy
Don't go too far away
If I can't see your face, I will remember that smile

But can this be right
Or should we be friends
I get lonely sometimes and I'm mixed up again
'Cause you're the finest thing I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy

My joy, my joy
I believe this is gonna be what you want it to be
I just love you, I just love you, can't you see
That you're the best I've seen in all my life
You bring me joy

My joy... you're my joy
My joy... my, my joy

Thank you, baby, thank you, baby
I just love you, baby
When I lose my way, your love comes smiling on me

Next Song - The Spinners I'll Be Around

This, is our fork in the road
Love's last episode
There's nowhere to go, oh no

You made your choice, now it's up to me
To bow out gracefully
Though you hold the key, but baby

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around

I, knew just what to say
Now I found out today
That all the words had slipped away, but I know

There's always a chance
A tiny spark remains, yeah
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again, but I know you know

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around...yeah

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Even if I have to call, I'll be there
I'll be around

Just call me at home, I'll be there
I'll never leave you alone, I'll be there
Just call out your name you know I know you know
I'll be around

Ummmmm...you still ain't answering the phone!

Next song - Patti LaBelle If Only You Knew

I must have rehearsed my lines
A thousand times
Until I had them memorized
But when I get up the nerve
To tell you, the words
Just never seem to come out right

(Chorus:)
If only you knew
How much I do
Do love you
If only you knew
How much I do
Do need you

I dream of moments we share
But you're not there
I'm living in a fantasy
'Cause you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus)

No, you don't even suspect
Could prob'ly care less
About the changes I've been going through

(Repeat chorus until fade)

Next song - SOS Band The Finest

As life goes on
You learn to hold on
You learn to appreciate the finer things in life
The finest

If I had a chance
I’d always choose love
Up or down, good or bad, I don’t mind
Just as long as it’s real

My friends say I’m lucky
To have someone as good as you
My love’s understanding
Understanding how to hold on to you

After all that we’ve been through
Time won’t change the way I feel about you
Out of all the loves before
You’re the finest I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

If I had to choose
I’d be by myself
I wanna be in love
But with nobody else, uh

Time flies when you’re with me
Goes so slow whenever you’re away
Make up my mind and I’m positive {A better love}
A better love will never come my way

After all that we’ve been through (Mmm, hmm)
Time won’t change the way I feel about you (Mmm…mmm…)
Out of all the loves before (Mmm…hmm…hmm…)
You’re the finest I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

After all that we’ve been through (That we’ve been through)
Time won’t change the way I feel about you
Out of all the loves before
You’re the finest I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

Know {Know}
You keep me in love {You keep me in love}
I’m lost {You’re lost}
Jus call me, I’ll come {Just call me and I’ll come}

No other love before {No other love}
Could do what you do {Could do what you do}
A little so much {Oh}
So much more from you {Much more}
No one else will do {No one else will do}
There’s no substitute
Your love’s the finest love I’ve ever know, ooh…ooh…ooh…

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me (Oh)

After all (Ooh) that we’ve been through (That we’ve been through)
Time won’t change (Change) the way I feel about you (No, no, no, no)
Out of all (Hmm) the loves before (The finest love)
You’re the finest (Uh-huh) I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

After all (Ooh) that we’ve been through (That we’ve been through)
Time won’t change the way I feel about you
Out of all the loves before (Out of all the loves I had before)
You’re the finest (Yes, you are) I’ll ever know (Finest I ever)

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me

Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest I’ve seen
Oh, baby, you’re the finest
The finest one for me



My head hurts! I'm going to lay down! I'll still be listening. If you want me to keep this up, play something that'll make me come back!

It's Charles Hicks!! Tune Up just announced it and had Charles call in. B O R I N G!! Who the hell cares that Charles Hicks is going to 105.9?

Don't know about the rest of y'all but I'm gonna get to work on my picket signs!

Mojo, I promised that I would not let this go and I haven't! I've been scouring the internet posting to everything I could find about you!

I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by how many folks are currently still talking and inquiring about you, I was!

Hopefully, if nothing else, my input will get enough people involved to really start putting the screws to the Detroit Radio industry to get you back on in full form! Til then, smokeverbs and I are still watching the skies!!

Oh yeah, I want a personal autographed copy of "The Mental Machine" too!

I beg of you to throw down this Saturday like only you can!!

There will be plenty of people tuning in to see if I'm crazy or I really know what I'm talking about! Do whatever it is, you have to do, to prove me sane!
[Edited 9/10/07 22:19pm]

I truly "Adore" you, too!

A hundred percent Italian silk, imported Egyptian lace but nothing Mojo could compare to your lovely face...and yes, I did see that recent picture of you with that guy named Ned...I want one of those too!!
[Edited 9/11/07 5:24am]

You're right! A thousand mixes from you is "Never Too Much"!

Well, I've finally got a definitive answer to the is Mojo at 105.9, I don't believe it for one second but my husband made me swear that once I got someone to answer me flat out. I'd let this go...

Anyhoo, I got in touch with Wax Tax N Dre whose real name is Andre Lackey. I asked him if Mojo was there on the weekend that I heard Mesopotamia and Flame Thrower, etc. he said...

"Hey Danielle! How are you? Thanks for checking us out on the mix weekend. Well... The Big question is to be answered..... Was Mojo there that weekend.... No Maam, I grew up listening to Mojo. So, remember those jams he use to play. I had so much fun doing it. I would Love to make it happen again. I will post some of my mixes from that weekend on my website very soon. Thank you so much for listening. Mojo still lives inside of me (LOL). Have a wonderful day. Please stay in touch."

So, apparently I've suffered from a nervous breakdown and didn't know it. I'm going to take a couple of weeks off to get some much needed rest.

IT'S TIME! Since Mojo ISN'T DJing on 105.9, we're digging out the CASSETTES!!
