Denver lyrical

A few days ago I was discussing the odd lyrics to an old 80s Radio One jingle.  While I was poking around on t’Internet (in fact to listen to the JAM Song again), I found reference to the package from which presumably that Radio One jingle originated, which was produced for KIMN Denver.  You can hear it here, the lyrics are:

“Show me a show you can hear at D.U.,
Washington Park and even the zoo;
Show me a show that’s the best show of all,
And I’ll show you the best show in Denver.
The best show in Denver, KIMN!”

As a sidenote, it is always odd to hear old familiar radio jingles with different lyrics for different stations: the nature of the jingle business is (was) that a package gets written for a client (or maybe no client in particular), and then is available to be re-sung for other stations that might want it.
