Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge Playlist: August 31, 2016

On today’s show we took a decidedly determined detour from Tiki music to mark the Burning Man festival, taking place this week in Nevada. Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge wafted over the airways for the first time in 2002 on Radio Free Burning Man and remotely recorded programs of this show continue to be broadcast there even after having found a permanent home on Radio Fairfax in 2009.

Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge is broadcast every Wednesday, 5-6 pm Eastern Time (2-3 pm on the West Coast) at http://www.radiofairfax.org. The show is broadcast live; no recorded shows are archived, but some listeners choose to record it on their computers to listen later. Radio Fairfax also can be heard on Tune In Radio at tunein.com, and streamed on smartphones by downloading the Tunein app. It also can be streamed on Roku and Google TV at: http://tinyurl.com/3uqfsz9

  1. “If I Had You,” the 1928 song by Jimmy Campbell, Reg Connelly and Ted Shapiro, from the 1966 recording by the singer Johnny Hartman on his 1966 album: I Love Everybody, arranged and conducted by Jack Pleis.

  2. “Electric Maneges,” the 1979 song by Sauveur Mallia waxed by the Montreal group Orgasmo Sonore, which consists primarily of Frank Rideau on musical production and guitar, on their retrograde recording: Revisiting Obscure Library Music.

  3. “Antarctica,” originally composed by Duke Ellington as “The Ricitic” with lyrics by the singer Lorraine Feather on her superlatitious CD: Such Sweet Thunder – Music of the Duke Ellington Orchestra, with Shelly Berg on Piano, Dave Carpenter on Bass and Greg Field on Drums. This song was selected because Dr. Zarkov’s Tiki Lounge shows were shipped by CD to Antarctica, where they were played at the first ever Freezing Man Festival there, which was modeled on the Buerning Man Festival.

  4. “Kiss of Fire,” recorded by guitarist Duke Robillard and singer Sunny Crownover from their CD: Tales From the Tiki Lounge -- Dedicated to the Music of Les Paul.

  5. “Solar Race” originally came out in 1963 on the galactical LP: Ventures in Space.

  6. “Chant of the Moon” was derived from the 20-year-old subcutaneuos CD: Voodoo! – The Exotic Sounds of Robert Drasnin, featuring Sally Terri on the vocal.

  7. “Carnival Merengue” was by Les Baxter and His Orchestra, and is taken from his 1959 Latinesque LP: Jungle Jazz.

  11. “Size 178-79-55-91” was a remix by the bad examples of music by Charles Wilp and is drawn with swizzle sticks from the collection: Michelangelo in Space: The Bunny Remixes, where various contemporary musicians contributed remixes honoring music of the German artist and composer from the 1960s

  12. “Fire Fire” was laid down by Lloyd Robinson and appears on the bulging box set: Reggae – The Definitive Collection: Songs of Freedom.

  13. “In the Basement, Part 1” was sung in 1966 by Sugar Pie DeSanto with the timely assistance of Etta James, and is taken from the righteous retrospective: Sugar Pie DeSanto: Go Go Power – The Complete Chess Singles, 1961-1966.
