Return Of The Pink Elephants (1.03.24) & (1.01.24)
Welcome to the first Alternate Wednesday of the year! And what better way to kick off 2025 than with a replay of The Return of the Pink Elephants—a show so delightfully offbeat that it first graced the airwaves on the very first Wednesday of 2024. Now, it’s back for another spin through the surreal, the nostalgic, and the just plain weird.
This playlist is like a fever dream of genre-bending covers, unexpected mashups, and deep cuts that make you question what reality you’re living in. From Cake’s take on Mahna, Mahna to Shiny Toy Guns launching Major Tom into orbit and They Might Be Giants turning the clock to 25 O’Clock, it’s a mix tailor-made for those who love their music with a twist of the bizarre.
And, of course, we couldn’t call this show Pink Elephants without a few unexpected turns down the dark and dreamy. Bauhaus takes on Bowie, Pom Pom Squad reimagines Crimson + Clover, and Daniel Ash gets his hands on Gimme Some Lovin’. Whether you’re into the avant-garde, the campy, or the classic, there’s a little something for everyone in this wonderfully wonky wonderland of sound.
So, buckle up, hit replay, and let’s start 2025 the only way we know how—with a little chaos, a lot of fun, and a soundtrack that’s anything but ordinary.
🎧 Listen Now & Let the Pink Elephants Parade On! 🎧
