What they want is a radio ad that’s patterned after the '70s break-in record, “Mr. Jaws” by Dickie Goodman. I haven’t seen the copy yet, but it’ll be an announcer sounding as though he’s asking people questions about the product or service, and the reply will be a short clip of the song saying “(it’s…) easy…” and then cut to the next one. I need to be able to edit that part of the song out without it sounding really strange. Most of your suggestions will work, so thanks again for the help. ---
