That was Men Without Hats with their big hit "Urban Sombrero"

There's a radio station around here called Max FM. It's some sort of repackaging of the adult contemporary idea. It's generally about my 7th choice of stations to listen to and I rarely get that far down the list. However, today on the way to work everybody else was playing a commercial.

That's right, 6 major stations in the Bay Area all had a commercial on at the same time during the morning commute. Kinda sucky.

So I made my way through my presets and landed on Max FM. The most interesting thing about this station is that there are no DJs. The only talk you hear on the station is by a voiceover actor who seems to be the voice of "Max." What's funny is that the actor is John O'Hurley, aka Mr. Peterman from Seinfeld.

I kept waiting to hear him ask the audience if it knew what happens to a butter-based frosting after sitting 60 years in a poorly ventilated English basement.
