Jingle Of The Day - February 25

Postby radiofan » Fri Feb 24, 2017 10:17 pm

If you were a CKNW listener in 1963, you may recall a promotion they did in which a Maharajah was planning to buy BC. As I recall he drove around town and handed out all kinds of cash to people in stores, on the street etc.

Part of the promotion included this song by NW's Bobby Hughes pleaing with then premier W.A.C. Bennett to not sell B.C.

CKNW Maharajah

Do ya think the lyrics would work today?

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.

I think they'd be able to play it once and then the licence would be pulled today. Love the hammond organ in the background though!
Houston, We're dealing with morons!.
