    This reminds me of flipping through the FM stations when I was a kid.

    That one wasn't the best edit/mashup I've ever done, but I
    couldn't resist urge to posit a response for a theme tune.

    In highschool, I created a music-based interview along the
    lines of Mr Jaws by Dickie Goodman:

    We are here on the beach
    Where a giant shark has
    Just eaten a girl swimmer
    Well, Mr. Jaws, how was it?

    'Dynomite'

    And what did she say
    When you grabbed her?

    'Please, Mr., please'

    I know sharks are stupid
    But what did you think when
    You took that first bite?

    'How sweet it is'

    Mr. Jaws, before you
    Swim out to sea
    Have you anything else to say?

    'Why can't we be friends
    Why can't we be friends'

    My "interview" was with the teachers. The answers were taken
    from tunes that were very familiar or from popular tunes that
    people were to have likely heard on hit radio.

    I can assure you, I made sure to poke a lot of fun (and perhaps
    embarassment) at the teachers, principal and vice principal.

    It was a bigger hit with the kids than I thought. People were
    laughing so hard that I had to make sure I stopped the tape
    long enough for the laughing to die down so that everyone could
    hear the next interview question properly.

    I made two more "episodes" in subsequent years.

    I transferred the originals from reel-to-reel to cassette. A
    number of years later, I made copies to .mp3. Maybe if I can
    find them, I'm post them.
