The music is an issue precisely because they riffed on it so much.

Okay, I get that, but when the original link says things like:
Emphasis added.
I also found this (which appears to be based on the original link above):
I really wish you folks would at least give them a chance before tearing the thing apart based on something that was done years ago by a different studio.

Don’t forget the jingle that they produced for the funeral home. Peppy and upbeat.
"…some day you’re going to buy it…
That’s the only line that I can remember from the jingle.

Oh dear, here’s something I’m unsure if I’m that proud of… ahem
*Hey! You’re young and swinging–
No time to think about tomorrow.
But there ain’t no use in denying it–
Someday, you’re gonna buy it!
So get yourself to Ferriman
Tomorrow!
Ferriman! Ferriman!
He’s the man with the plot
The man with the plan
Ferriman! Ferriman!
He’s the mortician man who loves you–
A lot!*
Cue Johnny (here’s where my memory isn’t quite clear)…
“Six, count 'em, six locations to serve you in the greater Cincinnati area… Plenty of free parking… Ask about our group rates!”
And one more from the opening:
“…and the senator, while maintaining he was not intoxicated, could not explain his nudity…”
Oh, it just occurred to me–I also remember Johnny’s lead-in to Ferriman’s commercial (with Ferriman’s emphasis added):
Let Ferriman Funeral Homes provide you and your loved ones with quality funeral services at reasonable prices.
'Cause, y’know, “loved ones” needs more love.

That would be Charon. 
Um, the Ferryman Charon, that is.

Because sometimes the specific music is integral to the scene. See Shoeless’s Pink Floyd example. And if they can’t get the rights to “Tiny Dancer,” I can tell you that one of the most touching episodes in the whole series will be ruined.

“Hold my order, Terrible Dresser.”
:rolleyes:
I was gonna ask a question, but found it on google first, thought I’d share:
Doesn’t the second line contain the intelligible words “rock ‘n’ roll”?
I think “bartender” is in there somewhere. Along with “alafalaweeddahah.”

Hmmm… they were for Morrison’s Tire. Pretty much the same as for Ferriman’s Funerals, but instead of the “there ain’t no use in denying it/Someday you’re gonna buy it,” substitute these lines:
There ain’t no use in denying that
Someday you’re gonna get a flat.
Then of course, we get (I think):
Morrison, Morrison
He’s the man with the jack,
The man with the plan…
Okay… how’d I do?

That’s from “Just Shoot Me”, or did “WRKP” do it first?
At least one of Herb’s jackets were made out of VW seatcover material. Really.

I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks, Otto!

WKRP did it first, in one of my favorite episodes. Mama Carlson hires a radio consultant to evaluate the station, and Andy, uh, turns the tables on her.

Not to hijack, but in what episode of Just Shoot Me did that happen?
and I knew the lyrics to both the Ferryman and Morrison jingles. In fact, I occasionally sing them while driving my car.

Scum of the Earth - “One of them asked me what time it was when I said I didn’t know, another one said, Well, that’s it for him then.”
[/QUOTE]
That would have been Mr. Peavey. He got thrown out of the car for not knowing what time it was. A little later:
Scum 1: “I have a degree in cello from the Royal Academy.”
Venus: “Really?”
Scum 1: “Yes, but its hard to get thousands of screaming teenage girls to a cello concert.”
Scum 2 (Dog?): “And we really like teenage girls.”
Loved the Scum show!
