Long Shot: Song Info

S

Shredder

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7eNNGYCHEA

this song was played locally on PLJ, sometime during the first season of the Simpsons in 1990. I can't find ANY info on it. There was one site that claimed it was done as an un-authorized song, meaning Fox didn't go out and hire someone to produce this thing, and somehow it wound up on local radio stations. I only remember hearing it that one year, and after that, it was finished.

Also curious which DJ is saying PLJ at the end....

thanks for any information.. I'd love a clear copy, but all traces of this song seem to have dropped off the face of the earth..
 
WOW... I had this same song I taped off K-104 when I was a kid. Good question though. Never knew who it was

"Do the Bartman" was never officially released as a single in the United States, but placed first on the singles charts in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom. Additionally, it reached the top ten in Sweden and the Netherlands, and was certified gold in the United Kingdom. A music video, which was directed by Brad Bird, was released for the song in 1991. The video became a hit on the American network MTV and received a nomination at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards."

Not the same song dude :).... This is 'Do the Bart Simpson'....
 
I do recall hearing "Do The Bart" on PLJ (by way of an audiotape recording). The fact that it may have been "unauthorized" makes me wonder if Fox had everything associated with it destroyed, so as not to be confused with the "Do The Bartman" track that would be released off the "Simpsons Sing The Blues" album - there's an album that is a hard find these days.

hmm, that would make sense...and if so, beware the fox legal team cause they did a pretty good job of eradicating any information on it ;). Someone else posted that Humphries link, but claims that there are two versions of that page.. one edited that says, 'Do the Bartman' and the other that says 'Do the Bart Simpson'. Never heard of him before, so I Guess it's worth an email to find out more...

anyone wanna take a stab at who that might have been saying PLJ at the end of the video? I doubt scott was there by 1990....doesn't really sound like him..

More footnotes: MJ Kelli would eventually move to Tampa for morning drive at WFLZ, which he recently ended to concentrate more on a daily conservative talk show based at a sister station of WFLZ under his real name, Todd Schnitt.

Also, wasn't it in April of 1991 that WPLJ went through their ill-fated "Mojo Radio" phase? That turned out to be as great an idea as dumping the WPLJ calls for WWPR.
