AGGGGGGGG!!!! No points for your friend. It will be a Beach Boys tune. Anyone want to guess which one?
No, I meant which Beach Boys song. It will be a Beach Boys song. Now which one?

Do it again top 20 in 1968.Why not the obvious Ray Charles classic, "Hit the Road Jack!" I know that's what's been playing in my head all week. ;D

will the last song on jack be Journey - Don't Stop believing ???
ok i know sapranos lol but its nyc so it might be the last song
Cant wait until tomarrow i will come home eat lunch then log on and listen to the last hour of jack-fm if the stream does not get taken down

I thought of the Steely Dan song too, but anything negative about Jack is probably out. The format is being put on the back burner, not blown out.
A few others I thought of.
"I Want to Hold Your Hand" (the song that started a revolution.)
Sinatra's "Summer Wind" backwards. (The last song on CBS-FM Mark 1, I believe.)
Sinatra's "New York New York"
I think I had a few more, but I can't think of them right now.

That's exactly why they're doing promos all week promoting the change - although some would argue it's to try and hold on to said 3 listeners...
btw CA, you are correct - "Summer Wind" was indeed the last song. Being it is the summer, it actually would be a good choice to start CBS V2.0, also...
While Ray Charles sounds like the obvious pick, I think the first song played--If not, One of the first to be played--should be John Sebastian's "Welcome Back". It's fitting without sounding too crass about returning.

Re: what will the last song on jack fm be ???
And cut it where they sing "it goes on, and on, and on...:"?
Sorry, that would just be too hack!!!!!

Maybe another Sinatra song--New York, New York.
Hit The Road Jack while obvious, may sound cliched a bit.
Or if I want to really take a chance--Rock and Roll is Here to Stay by Danny and The Juniors.
But all I can say is welcome back CBS-FM 101.1--New York's Greatest Hits.

Re: what will the last song on jack fm be ???
I guess "Hit The Road, Jack" would be more apropos as Jack's last song, and not so much as CBS-FM's "first" song... For which, by the way, I've got another suggestion: The Beatles' "Get Back". (And for you Philly folk, how about "Here Comes The Sun?" ;D )
Looks like you're throwin' little ol' Jack under the BUS!

Jack to CBS-FM: How lame
Nothing screams "Oldies Format" like returning with the Beach Boys. They had only one big 70's hit and one big 80's hit.
A better montage into the new CBS-FM would have been . . .
Jack at 12:51 or so
Disappear (INXS)
Goodbye to You (Scandal)
Hit the Road Jack (Ray Charles)
Five seconds of dead air
1:01 PM: Legal ID jingle from '95
Theme from "New York, New York" (Frank Sinatra)
Welcome Back (John Sebastian)
Celebrate (Kool & The Gang)
Happy Days (Pratt & McLain)
Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now (McFadden & Whitehead)
Do It Again (The Beach Boys)
Good Times (Chic)
... onward for 101 hours, commercial-free. DJs start the following Monday.
FWIW "Do It Again" was a bigger hit in New York than it was nationally.

"Video Killed the Radio Star," anyone?
