Basically, the thing here is to take a song and find its opposite. Ideally, playing these two songs at the same time would make the radio station implode.
This all began because there’s a new song out titled “Superman” (I can’t remember the name of the group that sings it), and I was thinking - what would happen if you played that song and 3 Doors Down’s hit “Kryptonite” at the same time?
Or Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC?
Or “Nobody Knows” by Kevin Sharp and “Everybody Knows” by Trisha Yearwood?

You can add “Little Deuce Coupe” to that one.

that seems oddly appropriate. Or inappropriate, maybe:)
