I am at the same level, but I gave it a try.

I don't think it is a good idea to modify bongo-show directly.
Next time the code gets updated, you'll have to do it all over again.
AFAIK, thats what hooks are for: Modifying the program at certain well
defined points.
I do not use bongo, but I downloaded it and played around a bit.
This is what I came up with:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook 'bongo-player-started-hook
(lambda ()
(let (message command))
(with-bongo-playlist-buffer
(setq my-message (bongo-format-infoset (bongo-player-infoset
player)))
(setq command (concat "ratpoison -c 'echo " message "'"))
(start-process-shell-command "FixMe" nil command))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Just start bongo, eval this in your *scratch* buffer and give it a try.
I only did some quick testing, it can very well not work as you
expected.
But it might give you a point to start from ...
