In the second hour we had the story of The Sunday Replay Bonfire Party:
So we’re gonna have a bonfire party here on phoenix fm. The first thing we need to do is make a guy, old clothes stuffed with newspaper, a mask, Oh no Can’t be bothered with that, I’m gonna steal Somebody Elses’ Guy!(Joycelyn Brown)
No musn’t do that really, it’s wrong to steal. I’ve decided to use My Guy (Mary Wells)
Ok that’s sorted out the guy, I piled up some old wood earlier and now it’s time to Light my Fire (The Doors)
Fire (The Crazy World of Arthur Brown)
Well the fire’s roaring now, Flames high in the air. Oops I just got a bit too near to it, I’ve set the bottom of my trousers alight – I’m on fire! (Bruce Springsteen)
Oh no! the flames are travelling up my legs!
Great Balls of Fire (Jerry Lee Lewis)
Sex on Fire (Kings of Leon)
I’ve had to rush indoors to put myself out in the shower, my trousers have burn’t away completely, but I’m ok. Oh no I must have set fire to the curtains on the way in – I’m going to end up Burning down the House.(Tom Jones & Cardigans)
Call the Fire Brigade! (The Move)
OK the fireman saved my house, but they also put the bonfire out. Oh well guess I’ll just have to Relight my fire! (Take That Ft. Lulu)
His latest flame. (Elvis Presley)
Ok time for the display. Lets choose the first Firework. (Katy Perry)
Time for a giant roman candle. Wow this one’s spectacular, it’s shooting out stars. Just a minute, the stars are spelling out some words… it says “Sunday Replay” Amazing, It’s Written in the Stars (Paul Weller)
Well the fireworks are nearly over now, some people like bangers, some like Catherine wheels, others prefer roman candles. Me? I’m a Rocket Man (Elton John)
Oh well good job we’ve finished our party, it’s just started raining. Guess it’s going to put the fire out, but you never know, it might Set Fire to the Rain (Adele)

See You Next Week!!!
