WROR has been calling itself "the songs you grew up with" but several times today I heard WODS call itself "the music you grew up with". Hmm! Do either have the
phrase copyrighted?

I don't know, but I doubt it. In this recent spate, I heard WROR start using it first a couple of months ago, and then WODS quickly added it.

at WROR, the phrasing and idea of the songs/music you grew up with, listening to (on the radio, on the record player, on 8-track) has been around since the flip from Country.
and a similar thought has been expressed on more than one occasion at WODS.
and at WZLX. and just about any station that plays music that might have been popular when its target listeners were younger.
the original Bobby Ocean-voiced liners on WROR included the "songs you remember," "music you grew up with," "from the station you never forgot."

Wasn't there a period where some station/stations were using "The music you grew up with...not the music you grew out of" or something similar. I don't know if it was used in Boston or not but I guess the implication was that just the songs that stood the test of time were played & the dated ones or tune-outs were gone.

Yup--and even though WODS may have used the phrase at times in the past
it almost seems like they're trying to steal it.
Hey how about playing those songs from when we were younger and
partyin' till we puked--yes, the music we _threw_ up with

so you, too, have spent a rock&roll evening at the Prince House
of Pizza on Route One, or at the old Copperfield's in Kenmore
Square, or at Gladstones or Molly's in Brighton ??? ;-)
nothin' like cheap beer, passable pizza and good old fashioned
live rock&roll (cover bands).
can't say that i've ever "boogied til i puked" while listening to records,
tapes, 8-tracks, cd's or radio, although Ian Dury & The Blockheads thought
that a quarter's worth of jukebox was ample.

This phrase has been a regular on Oldies stations for almost 20 years. Nothing new here.
