Only in college XII

One night, I was playing a set of soft, subtle music on KCOU.  As I was playing the theme from "The Young And The Restless" on the air, a listener called the request line.  "How long are you going to keep doing this?" she asked.  "I'd really like to hear more upbeat music."  "Is there any particular song you'd like to hear?" I asked.  "No," she replied. "I'd just like to hear something more upbeat."  Sensing an opportunity, I started the next set of music by saying, "A listener called in, wanting to hear more uptempo music.  I aim to please, so here comes some more uptempo music on KCOU, Columbia."  I then started playing The Brady Bunch's "Time To Change."
