I Love talking on the Hawthorne Ramp but sometimes I'm not paying attention and crash into a post!

currently, "Life Is A Highway" by Rascal Flatts...
...and before I get flamed by you country-haters, yes I know Tom Cochrane and Chris LeDoux did the original and what some consider a far superior cover, respectively.

i love songs with multiple posts. back in the 80s, a jock would tell you that there were many more inside the song.

Before I reveal the song, let me preface it with a comment first...in light of Where_am_I's 'cart' comment....
In 1987, about the time I assumed the Production director duties at Z100, I was still doing weekend on-air. I had also been (and still am) the one dubbing the music for air. Back then, onto carts...now, to hard drive. This song had by far the busiest label I've ever had to create, because of its lengthy full title and multitude of posts. I ended up putting a second label on top of the cart to include all the posts. I think there were seven. It was always fun to try to hit every one!
Song: "I Want To Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" - Whitney Houston. The post at :08 where she lets out that big "Whooo" and the full band kicks in was always great fun!

Shhhhh! I am actually trying to play dumb. I hear it's easier to get work in radio if you don't know too much! You never know when someone might need a part time card reader, and I want to be ready!
Saturday, October 21, 2006 - 12:38 pm
do you prefer 3X5 cards or the 5X7 with large type...I choose the second one
Saturday, October 21, 2006 - 1:36 pm
I have 3 of them:
1) "The Road to Hell (Part II)" - Chris Rea (:43 ramp)
2) "Until She Comes" - Psychadelic Furs (:22 ramp)
3) "We Play The Game" - Alan Parsons (:38 ramp)

I remember once Todd Baker talking up the entire ramp to "Stairway to Heaven" on his last day on the air. The PD was shaking his head saying only Todd would do that to that song.
What about Celine Dion "Because You Loved Me"? Oh wait, that was :00 intro. Sorry
While at Z100 before they sucked, A personal favorite to talk up was "Fantastic Voyage" by Coolio and "Loungin'" by LL Cool J.
