Prepping for Super Bowl XL: Radio Parody Songs from The Bob Rivers Show
One of the classic forms of radio that continues to entertain is the radio parody song. You know what they are...hit songs a radio show will re-do and re-produce with new topical lyrics, creating something that really makes you laugh on the way to work. Some shows do a better job than others. Some much better. The best, in our minds here at the Jointblog, is The Bob Rivers Show, based on 102.5FM KZOK in Seattle, Washington. Bob Rivers calls them "Twisted Tunes". It's a perfect description.
His hometown team - the Seattle Seahawks -- are making it to the Big Game for the very first time. So what does Bob Rivers do to honor them? Create some terrific twisted tune parodies. He's been doing this form of high radio art for 25 years. If you're a fan of radio, I recommend you give them a listen.
