I Got You Babe

MICHAEL SWAN: PAPPI SWARNER'S JUKEBOX >>>

You know the drill. Every Friday, after 4 p.m., when workday decorum is thrown out, Weekly Volcano publisher Pappi Swarner cranks his computer speakers up to 11 and plays ‘70s pop off YouTube throughout the office. When it stops, we know he has left the building.

Knowing Pappi, I assume the SUNNY day triggered memories of his childhood sessions in front of Sonny & Cher â€" that’s what he’s cranking right now.  First it was the “Beat Goes On,” which sent the news team out the door. Then it was “All I Ever Need Is You,” which cleared The Steno Pool. “Half-Breed” sent our intern home (didn’t know). Now Pappi is looping “I Got You Babe.” I see Steph DeRosa frantically downing her Xanax/vodka potion and headed for the door.
