Songs with Radio Station call letters at the intro

The Pointers, being Bay Area natives, started doing custom versions for KFRC starting with "How Long (Betcha Got A Chick On The Side)" in 1975. The "betcha got a chick on the side, sure you got a chick, I know you got a chick on the side" chant was re-cut eight different ways, replacing "chick" with the name of a KFRC jock (Don, John, Rick, Chuck, Mark, Donn, Shana and Duke---for Dave Sholin).

Another one that got a lot of custom versions for stations was Reunion's "Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)"----"Life is a rock, but KHJ rolled me. Gotta turn it up louder, so (Charlie Van Dyke/Larry McKay/The Gunner/Billy Pearl/J.B. Stone) told me..."

WLS and WCFL got versions of that, but I only remember "Life is a Rock, but WLS/CFL rolled me"
 
WICC, Bridgeport CT, had a good intro of "Hotel California". It opened as "On a New England highway alive and feeling free, driving along and listening to the music on WICC". WICC still plays a decent amount of music for an AM. It is possible that they still play it.
