This "Rip-off Records" promo features a "hippie-hop" tune created by blending the Mamas and the Papas with the Sugar Hill Gang, and a track that puts Frank Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night" to a hip-hop beat. A fun, irreverent audio skit.

Review of All Things Remixed: A Youth Radio Spoof
If this is Public Radio youth, then I finally have a little confidence that the oft-heard sound of public radio will receive a refresher soon.
In the short term, this piece give your listener's ears a 1:25 break from yet another formula news piece. This piece following in the FM rock/hh radio morning-DJ trend of making a fake commercial with a specific viewpoint. It's short, so it will fit anywhere, especially if you are aiming for a younger audience. Play it during an ATC break during drive time. I like making and hearing these types of pieces, and would like to a large slice of public radio dedicated to fun along this vein. |
