Oops. Spaced on "back announcing" this one. Suffice it to say that when this great Boston band played live twice on WERS's "Metrowave" show in 1986 and early '87 (before they were known outside Boston), my cassette recordings of the sets were on steady repeat.

Geez. I mistakenly repeated this "VD Gets Around" PSA, aired earlier in the show. I meant to play "VD is For Everybody." Perhaps I can repair it for its archives at https://www.mixcloud.com/bob-dubrow/. All my shows are warehoused there, check it out!

Comment:
1. Norwegian Wood - re-styled as "Norwegian Jim", the words describe the encounter of Swaggart with a prostitute. An amusing insertion is the repetition of a riff from Leonard Bernstein's song "I Feel Pretty" from "West Side Story."
2. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - re-styled as "Louisiana Hooker with Herpes" with appropriate lyrics. 3. Strawberry Fields Forever - re-styled as "Texas Motel", but the refrain changes constantly.
