How many jocks started their show with the same song?

F

It seems that prior to the mid-80's some jocks would start their show with the same song--i.e., trademark song. Just having trouble putting together a list. Was Stephen Rabow one of them? (I want to say somebody used "Jealous" by the Pretenders.)

Anyhow, blanking at the moment.....
 
Years and years ago, we had one guy in Port Angeles, who would sign off his Sunday AM show with "Begin the Beguine".

You could probably have pulled something like this off in Sunnyside or Prosser... maybe also in Raymond or Forks. I was in the Yakima market in the early '70s, and the PDs there wouldn't put up with any of that noise.
 
Seems like KAFE's Scotty VanDryer always starts his 5PM Friday show with "Workin for the Weekend". That's what I mainly hear on 104.1 at 5PM every Friday but it might not be all the time...

WRQX at least used to, not sure if they still do, start the Saturday Night Shuffle with Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers.
 
The now-late morning show on KOY featuring Danny Davis was always ended by "I Love You Arizona" by Rex Allen Jr.

The intro to Frank Kalil's ADT gig in the late 50's on KTKT was intro'd by a poem he'd read accompanied by background music of an Arabic nature (Frank is Lebanese). "Across the shifting sands....." and end with "One hump, or two?). Wish we'd had recorders back then.
