Robin Files

Hot Legs

  • Since the Rod Stewart interview went so long a second song was done. Once you blow your voice out you might as well keep going!

First Cut Is The Deepest

  • When Rod Stewart was in live he didn't sing. It was a great interview but there had to be some music for the occasion. This was played the next day with Howard saying "That was the real Rod Stewart writing a song for you Robin."

Thrift Shop

  • Thrift Shop was sent in 6 weeks before it was aired. When it was finally played it was played twice, once in the first hour and once before Robin's news.

I Will Always Love You

  • This song was first played right after the death of Whitney Houston. Howard and Robin both commented on how they loved the vocal and Fred said "that's the incomparable Psych!"

La Grange

  • One of Howard's favorite ZZ Top songs is La Grange. He went through a song catalog of ZZ tracks and played a bunch of them on the air. The next day this was played with Howard commenting "I like this as much as the original." Robin said "What a great parody."

Drift Away

  • Drift away was played on the show and Howard tried to figure out what the song was about. He changed the context completely and made it even more graphic so take a listen and you decide.

Who Will Save Your Soul

  • Jewel was on the show to premier Howard's song Silver Nickels and Golden Dimes. It was written when he was a kid and after her appearance this was played. Mutt from SFN also commented on his show that it was stuck in his head.

Coconut

  • The show had Curtis Armstrong on (Revenge of The Nerds) and he stated he was a super fan of Harry Nilsson. Howard quizzed him with a round of Nilsson name that tune. Curtis (Booger) got them all correct and This was played the following week.

Monster Mash

  • Sent in for Halloween but played 3 weeks later. Robin laughed and Howard said "that psych is terrific."

Loves Me Like A Rock

  • Throughout the years there has been a lot of talk about Robin and her misguided dad. This Paul Simon tune tells one of those stories of the past that still comes up on the air from time to time.

One More Night

  • Howard was going through songs that have been #1 for a while and this song came up. He commented on the TV show The Voice and how it was great promotion for Maroon 5. The first play was coming out of commercials and played in its entirety.

Gangnam Style

  • The Gangnam Style song was causing some controversy on who the singer and dancer were and if they were different people. It started a lot of questions among the staff and even some caller debates. Howard said he would show Robin his dance to the song and naturally a Robin parody came about the next day getting some high praise from both Howard and Robin. Robin said she now thinks of the parody as the actual song and Howard exclaimed "what a great performance from Psych, That Psych always is a fantastic performer."

Somebody That I Used To Know

  • During one of Howard's many music discussions he was trying to figure out how to say Gotye. He commented on how the song had a very different sound which translated well for this Robin parody.

Blow Me One Last Kiss

  • Howard was playing various female artists which were getting a lot of airplay and made fun of this particular song's lyrics. The result was this P!nk parody.

Infatuation

  • There were many hours devoted to Robin saying that she will never emasculate men again. This ditty was spawn from the daily discussions on weather Robin was keeping her word. There are samples of Robin talking about it throughout the song.
