Fake THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO Playlist: Hail To The [former] Chief

This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl is simply too large a concept to be neatly contained within a mere three-hour weekly time slot. Hence these occasional fake TIRnRR playlists, detailing shows we're never really going to do...but could.


Offered without further comment.

Well...except for this introductory rewrite of the intro to a song that was a hit for Jay and the Americans:

Let's lock the door and throw away the key now!
Don, do be gone, do be gone, gone
I can't stand to see you
One little second more....


This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl--y'know, the real one--airs Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air in Syracuse at SPARK! WSPJ 103.3 and 93.7 FM, and on the web at westcottradio.org You can read all about this show's long and weird history here: Boppin' The Whole Friggin' Planet (The History Of THIS IS ROCK 'N' ROLL RADIO). TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS are always welcome.
