The following is a playlist for the broadcast of the Nightowl Radio Show, a one-hour college radio show on station WHCL-FM. The show can be streamed tonight at 7:00 p.m. Eastern at whcl.org. You can also listen to the Nightowl Radio Show, or any show on WHCL-FM, by telling your Amazon Echo, “Alexa, play WHCL-FM.”
The Academy Awards are this weekend, and tonight’s episode of the Nightowl Radio Show features songs that won the Oscar for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture. The playlist includes both the original tracks and modern re-interpretations of same. And yes, I made sure to check that the version of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” has the two “motherfuckin’s” digitally bleeped out.

In case someone asks, Swinging On A Star is from Going My Way (1944), Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah is from Song of the South (1946- I have a bootleg of that movie), Que Sera Sera is from The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), The Way You Look Tonight is from Swing Time (1936; I saw this at the Spectrum Theatre in the last year), and The Last Time I Saw Paris is from Lady Be Good (1941). I have no idea where Somewhere Over the Rainbow is from.
