9:30 Coffee Break: Three Names

May 13, 2014

What songs do you want to hear for today's coffee break?
MPR Graphic / Tracy Kompelien

Since it is a member drive, we're pulling out some member requested themes for this week's Coffee Break. Today's suggestion came from listener Lou (LOU!). Lou offered us the theme, "songs by musicians with three names." Now, we're not talking about bands with a name that includes three names (ie Emerson, Lake and Palmer), but artists who may be in bands that go by a three-part name (ie David Lee Roth).

Sound like a fun suggestion, thanks Lou. What songs from artists with three names should we play for today's Coffee Break?

Songs Played:

John Lee Hooker - "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer"

Green Day (Billie Joe Armstrong) - "Welcome to Paradise"

John Mark Nelson - "Reminisce"

Them Crooked Vultures (John Paul Jones) - "New Fang"

Jerry Lee Lewis - "Great Balls of Fire"

David Lee Roth - "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody"
