Selling Me Softly with His Song
(stock)
One of the most significant events in radio history happened on this date in 1922 - WEAF broadcast the very first commercial. It was an ad for the Hawthorne Court Apartments in Queens. Since then, radio has been used to pitch everything under the sun. Your assignment today is to pick a product or service and give us a song to sell it. You've gotta come up with something that hasn't been done before. We're not looking for songs already used by advertisers. Don't miss this incredible opportunity today only!
Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.

- Bob Dylan "Lay Lady Lay" (Serta Perfect Sleeper)
- Lucinda Williams "Passionate Kisses" (Listerine)
- The Beatles "Fixing a Hole" (Home Depot)
- The Police "Message in a Bottle" (S.O.S. Steel Wool Pads)
