From the memory vault: That Guy Ty

I've run across a lot of funny and cool things over the years. Some of them are available, like SCTV; others might be someday, like the original SNL. But some will almost certainly never be seen again.

So I'm dredging the memory vault, a little, and when I remember something I'll post it here.

Example:

In the early 1990's, there was a DJ called "That Guy Ty" on WFNX, a progressive Boston-area station. He was pretty funny, and he did damn funny promos. There was one that I heard while I was driving in Cambridge, and I think I actually had to pull over because I was laughing too hard.

It started with the unmistakable opening of the Carpenter's "Top of the World", but when the lyrics should have started, Ty began singing instead:
"I do 'Morning Drive' on 'FNX,
but I'd much rather smoke crack and have some sex -"
The song was instantly interrupted by a scream of "OH MY GOD!" from the control room.

Ok, that's funny. Wish I heard that. :)
