The Steve Dahl Supper Club Premier- 3/21/82

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Supper Club_Ad

This is (somewhat of) a re-post. This is the premier broadcast of The Steve Dahl Supper Club; also referred to as The Network Show. The SDSC was broadcast on all ABC radio affiliates (that chose to run it). Taped in front of a live audience, this was broadcast on WLS-FM on Sunday evening, March 21, 1982. This is presented in two parts below. This is the entire 2-hour show. This is a brand new rip from cassette at slightly better quality than the original post.

Steve uses language that is not appropriate for the network execs and is bleeped several times. It is also good to hear them use the door sound effect as they enter.

Part 1 (27:43)

  • The Pledge
  • What S&G look like
  • Fan mail
  • Steve on guitar
  • The Hostages

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

 

Part 2 (31:42)

  • Call Iran just for nostalgia
  • Ayatollah! Live
  • Dead Hollywood Squares
  • Marcus
  • Steve is a Psychic
  • Do You Think I’m Disco Live

Steve Dahl WLUP-FM Compilation

Friday, February 4th, 2011

This is a quick follow up to our last post. I thought I would put together a little compilation of moments from Steve Dahl’s tenure at WLUP-FM. This is far from a “Best of” (that can’t be done in 14 minutes) just a snippet in time.

Enjoy!!!

Steve Dahl – Ayatollah! – 1979

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

A-A-A Ayatollah!!

“Come on! Cool your jets. Meditate. Eat a hamburger…”

As you know, the hostage crisis also came with a song.

Ayatollah! was made in late 1979 as a parody to The Knack’s, My Sharonna and was performed by Steve Dahl and Teenage Radiation. This song was released on vinly as a 45. If you listen closely to the beginning you can hear the vinyl crackle. The B-side was Unhappy New Year.

Enjoy!!


Download it here and make it a ringtone!

Lyrics
Ayatollah!
Steve Dahl & Teenage Radiation

Ooh, you got a real nice beard,
A real nice beard
You know it really caught-a my
Ayatollah!

But you know your mind is weird,
Your mind is weird
You really are a nutty kind of
guy-atollah

Come on! Give us back all the people at the embassy
The Shah’s hangin’ out and he’s takin’ chemotherapy
He’s already gonna die-atollah!

A-A-A-Ayatollah

When you get the Shah back home,
The Shah back home
We know you’re gonna eat him on
rye-atollah

But we kinda need your oil
to make our gas
You know you’re such a pain in the
Ayatollah!

Come on. Cool your jets. Meditate. Eat a hamburger.
Don’t get us too upset or we’ll do something nuclear
(nuclear explosion sound)
Bye-yie-yie-atollah!

A-A-A-Ayatollah!

Ayatollah!

…Iran

A-A-A-Ayatollah!

Americans are mostly cool
mostly cool
But now we’re really startin’ to
fry-atollah

And you know if you were here
You were here
We’d hit you in the face with a
pie-atollah
(spoken)
I mean, nothin’ personal, man, y’know.
I mean, I do like your sandals. Very sharp, dude.
And that robe…Yes. Yes.
You desert dudes are all so tanned.
Can I see your tan lines?
Oh, and one other thing…uh,
Mike Wallace, y’know..on 60 Minutes when you did the thing?
Is he as tall in real life as he looks on TV? I thought not.
Hey, hasta luigi, dudesicle, but remember, calm down
There’s more of us than there are of you.
Ciao!

Steve & Garry prank call Iran – WLUP-FM

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

I thought I would throw this up on the site because 4th of July is just around the corner…

Things were a little different 31 years ago. We were in the middle of the Cold War with the USSR and the USA was the worlds’ most powerful country and had its hands in many places all over the world. Revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini called the USA  “The Great Satan”.

The Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic crisis between Iran and the United States. 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981, after a group of Islamist students and militants took over the American Embassy in support of the Iranian Revolution. (Wikipedia)

In the USA, the hostage-taking created a huge surge of patriotism that had not been seen since early in the Vietnam war and a severe backlash against Iranians developed in the United States.

In response, Steve Dahl took to the airwaves to get the Hostages released. First, by making prank calls to Iran. Then, SD gave the phone numbers out over the air and encouraged every listener to do their duty and make a call themselves. He also made the parody song “Ayatolla“.
At first, the calls were randon numbers. Then SD got the number to Islamic Fried Chicken.

Steve Dahl and WLUP were reprimanded by the State Department and told to stop because it may escalate the situation.

I am posting three airchecks.

The first is a series of 3 calls made by Steve and Garry during that time.

Prank calls to Iran


 

The second is 36 minutes of a Steve & Garry Show on WLUP-FM from July 3, 1980. This show includes a call to Iran (in Part 2).

Steve & Garry, July 3, 1980 (1/2)
Highlights of this aircheck include an attempt to call to Jimmy Piersol to talk about Disco Demolition that took place one year earlier. Also, News with Buzz and a failed EBS test.


 

Steve & Garry, July 3, 1980 (2/2)
Highlights include the EBS test/FCC talk (Steve cheated on his FCC license test). A phone call with Janet where Garry says he had “one of those dreams” about Janet the previous night. And finally, a call to Islamic Fried Chicken in Iran.


 

Another call to Iran that was previously posted on this site can be heard here.

You can also listen to Steve & Garry do the 10 year anniversary of their prank calls to Iran at The Original Shock Jock site on YouTube. Here.

 

Have a great July 4th weekend!!!
