Since I wasn't here in the late '80s and a basic Internet search isn't turning anything up, I'm turning to you, Cream Readers—he and she of vast music trivia, hometown pride and late '80s Bangles parodies—to help solve this local music conundrum.
From a reader:
WHAT RADIO STATION DID A SONG "DRIVE LIKE A NASHVILLIAN" IN THE MID 80'S. MUSIC WAS TO WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN. I AM TRYING TO FIND A COPY OF THE LYRICS. ANY SUGGESTION? THANKS!

I don't remember for certain, but that sounds like a dead ringer for something that would've been on Y107...probably Coyote McCloud and the Zoo Crew.
Posted 05/31/2007 at 10:26:20 AMBTW, the 45 single of "Walk Like an Egyptian" was the first music I ever bought.
It was on Y107. So was the Tookie Bird.

Posted 05/31/2007 at 10:52:52 AMThose DJ names are priceless...Buck Nayked, John Smelly, Hawk Harrison, Hollywood Hendrix. Wow.
Posted 05/31/2007 at 11:12:03 AMYeah, Y107 sounds right. They also had "Rice Rice Baby" and "All We Are Saying is Kick Hussein's Ass."
Posted 05/31/2007 at 11:14:21 AMZoo Croo!
Posted 05/31/2007 at 12:19:33 PMI rocked my Tookie Tee with pride. I'm fuckin' old school like that.
Posted 05/31/2007 at 03:43:10 PMRice Rice Baby was happening right when I hit Nashville in '91. I believe "I Gotta Go Pee Pee" was around the same time.

I was going to school in Nashville in those days, although I lived in Tullahoma. I went to the trouble of rigging and antenna when I was home on weekends so I could hear Y107. When I was at school there in Nashville, I listened to it all the time.
I want to hear
Drive Like a Nashvillian
Madonna Don't Preach
Elmer Fudd singing True Colors
Don't Worry, Just Burp.
Anyone know where I can get that??
Posted 09/01/2008 at 06:50:08 PMI don't know why I looked this up tonight and found this page, but I can't believe it! I will have to go thru my old cassettes--I think that I still have the April Fools Day Parade that Mark Chase produced at Y-107.
Also, and I know that you probably won't believe this but it was my burp in Don't Worry Just Burp...may still have that too...I did traffic reports occasionally for Chase. Didn't know that Tim and Tom had done the song until later...Mark had taped some burps and they used them...pretty hilarious...my 15 sec of fame...
Posted 10/07/2008 at 12:07:14 AMi used to know gator Harrison who worked at y107 back when i lived in nashville. he now works at 94.7 the country giant on week days 6-10.
Posted 11/15/2008 at 04:52:02 AMDoes anyone know where to find any of the old Tookie Tees. I used to have one of ninja tookie and one of tookie in the blender. I would love to find some similar to those.
