    Final Sweet & Sour

    The Sweet & Sour Variety hour is ending. After 11 years on Wednesday mornings, I am closing it down.

    I’m making room for a brand new morning news broadcast that will air on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 8:30.

    Not to worry, because I’ve got a new show! In a new time slot!

    My new show is called Ashta Made You A Mixtape and you can hear it Friday nights at 9pm PST on CHLY 101.7fm

    Nothing will change but the name and *when* it airs.

    The Sweet and Sour podcast gets thousands of downloads every month, so you’ll still get your curated music mixtape through your podcast provider. You can also stream any time at mixcloud.com/ashta

    I think I’m sophisticated ’cause I’m living my life
    Like a good homo sapiens
    But all around me everybody’s multiplying and
    They’re walking round like flies man
    So I’m no better than the animals sitting
    In the cages in the zoo man
    ‘Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
    I am an apeman

    I think I’m so educated and I’m so civilized
    ‘Cause I’m a strict vegetarian
    But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
    And the crazy politicians
    I don’t feel safe in this world no more
    I don’t want to die in a nuclear war
    I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman

    I’m an apeman, I’m an ape, apeman, oh I’m an apeman
    I’m a King Kong man, I’m a voodoo man, oh I’m an apeman
    ‘Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky
    Compared to the clouds as they roll by
    Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an apeman

    In man’s evolution he’s created the city
    And the motor traffic rumble
    But give me half a chance and I’d be taking off my clothes
    And living in the jungle
    ‘Cause the only time that I feel at ease
    Is swinging up and down in the coconut trees
    Oh what a life of luxury to be like an apeman

    I’m an apeman, I’m an ape, apeman, oh I’m an apeman
    I’m a King Kong man, I’m a voodoo man, oh I’m an apeman
    I look out the window but I can’t see the sky
    The air pollution is a-fogging eyes
    I want to get out of this city alive and make like an apeman

    Oh come on and love me, be my apeman girl
    And we’ll be so happy in my apeman world

    I’m an apeman, I’m an ape, apeman, oh I’m an apeman
    I’m a King Kong man, I’m a voodoo man, oh I’m an apeman
    I’ll be your Tarzan, you’ll be my Jane
    I’ll keep you warm and you’ll keep me sane
    We’ll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an apeman

    I’m an apeman, I’m an ape, apeman, oh I’m an apeman
    I’m a King Kong man, I’m a voodoo man, oh I’m an apeman
    I don’t feel safe in this world no more
    I don’t want to die in a nuclear war
    I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman
