In eighth grade, two of my friends were recording a mock radio show on tape. One of them wanted to introduce Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now" by acknowledging the chime that's played four seconds into it. He wanted to say, "At the sound of the tone, the time will be..." The other friend was much less enthusiastic about this, thinking it sounded hokey; at the time, I agreed with him. To a certain extent, I still do. If I were a program director, however, I'd allow it. It's certainly no worse than the attempts at humor I've heard from a lot of so-called professional DJs.
I would have prohibited him from singing the jingles live, however, as he'd suggested. That's just strange.
