Was this a missed opportunity for semi-obvious bumper music? I'm not sure, as I didn't hear the beginning or end of an AM talk station's segment this afternoon. I heard two hosts discussing how frequently people buy lottery tickets, and all I could think of was Calloway's hit, "I Wanna Be Rich." I don't think I've heard it on the radio since it was a hit, but adult contemporary stations played it frequently in early 1990.
In this case, honest lyrics, sunny vocals, and a beat that doesn't leave one's mind easily were the trinity of ingredients for a smash hit.
