Radio Industry Parody

Please Don't Piss Off My Buyer : Radio Industry Parody --

Someone in the Radio industry forwarded me the MP3 and I created the video, adding the lyrics for easier sharing. Mark Frank of Cox Radio in Jacksonville recently contacted me to claim credit for song parody.

PLEASE DON'T PISS OFF MY BUYER
sung to the tune of 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Billy Joel
::LYRICS::
Please don't piss off my buyer
We must all unite
for our cluster we fight

Our shares have to go much higher
This isn't funny
cause we need the money

Mindshare, Mediacom, MediaEdge
are all gone
Now they're called
Group M, Matrix, Motion

Clear Channel's "less is more"
made us all be rate whores
:15s, :30s, gettin' down and dirty

XM Satellite
Sirius both unite
Bankrupcty off and on
strongarm by Mel Karmazin

Howard Stern, internet,
digital and Interep
Miller-Kaplan, Arbitron and PPM

CHORUS:
Please don't piss off my buyer
We must all unite
for our cluster we fight

Our shares have to go much higher
This isn't funny
cause we need the money

Cost-per-point and GRPs
budgets crumple to their knees
inventory management
rates are in the basement

added-value, sponsorships
blinks, :05s, station flips
low charge, free spots
Agencies won't pay a lot

Agencies want banner ads
ask for money they get mad
Streaming audio
don't forget pre-roll

Online selling gaining traction
texting gives a call to action
social network marketing
digital is everything

voice-track syndication
saving money at the station

Not Cox they're still local
Bob Neil is very vocal
pacing's bad in national
everyone's irrational

less is less,
not less is more
I can't take it anymore!

CHORUS:
Please don't piss off my buyer
We must all unite
for our cluster we fight

Our shares have to go much higher
This isn't funny
cause we need the money
