There are times as a DJ when it's wise to lean into what makes you unique. For a WMRY DJ on August 15, 1987, this meant leaning into being the station's sole British voice. During a song intro, he identified himself as "the voice from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean keeping you company this evening. And, we have another little oldie from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean for you right now. These are The Kinks, by your suggestion, and 'You Really Have Got Me.'"
As if his accent and geographical references hadn't indicated his British status firmly, adding the word Have to the song title sealed the deal. I wouldn't be surprised to hear John Oliver introduce the song that way.
