I have that jingle in my head frequently! I had that poster once upon a time, btw...
  11:36am gary mitchell:

amazing jingle.. amazing station, especially '66-67 with Scott Muni, Rosko, Murray the K, and Johnny Michaels
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:38am Charlie:

That time on that station had a huge impact on me.
  11:47am gary mitchell:

WOR-FM's progressive format pre-dated WNEW-FM's.. and they did it with such enthusiasm
Avatar 11:51am Michael:

Hi Charlie. Hi Gary. Looking forward to the show Charlie. 'New was pretty hip for a while as we followed the blowhard Muni and Rosko over there.

Hi Michael! Yup, I dug 'NEW too, but have a soft spot in my heart for WOR. Wish it (and 'NEW) had lasted longer!

A glance at your playlist shows me that A) I missed a really good one, and B)that I have gotten here too late to request Mel Torme's version of "Sunshine Superman". Oh well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm pacific standard simon:

But what would a version of "Touch Me" WITHOUT a heavy-handed horn section sound like?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:57pm Parq:

You would think that we're past the point where a Hispanic accent is all it takes to make us laugh, but this "Touch Me" singer nearly had me do a spit take.
