What was the most annoying song you had to play on the radio?

[Stewy]

Excellent thread!  Since I've all these horrible songs playing silutaneously in my head allow me to bring you all such pleasure.  "Oh Mandy, well you came and you gave without taking but I sent you away OH MANDY".

Carts...hmm...how about turntables?

every station I ever worked at had both and a reel to reel for traffic And a 4 track for production

[waynewatkins]

I forgot an essential in the ol' production rooms besides reel to reels, grease pencils and splicing tape...RAZOR BLADES to either cut your tape and pile it on the floor, or slit your wrists after a aircheck session.  Why did those blades always have a white residue on them?

Not sure whether to put this here, or in one of the ongoing 'RNO threads...
1979-'80..."It's 5 o'clock...at the ?Rock? of New Orleans, WRNO, FM-100" over Christopher Cross/Sailing.  Unn-uhh...a few months later,
same Batshlock time, same Batshlock channel--for true--Barbra Streisand/Evergreen.  "Well, da numbah one movie for da 18-to-tuddy-fo'
dimmagraphic is 'A Stah is Bohn.'  And our tahget dimmagraphic is...18-ta-tuddy-fo' -- I'm da oney one's got dat figga'd out,
deah."  To be topped (?bottomed?) a year later with "Here Come The Monkees" at #6 on the countdown of NOLa's Alltime Top 300 Albums.
Billboard had had a programming conference in NO a few years earlier, and a follow-up breakdown of the market included "WRNO.  Format:  Does not apply."  And dey say outsidahs cain' figga out da NAwlins mahket, deah.

And the insanity continued in 1984 as I had to say "It's 5 O'Clock at the Rock of N'Awlins WRNO" over Lionel Richie's "All Night Long" and Madonna's "Like a Virgin!"  Yeah 'dere---we gotta play 'dem 'cause we got R&R Top 40 reporting status 'dere...

[skippertthomas]

We had a great donut open and shotgun "KINT-98" to follow....And we were CHR... So, we always filled in the top of the hour spot with a rockin' recurrent or primo-oldie.... "It's 7'Oclock with "Skipper T." at K, I, N, T....El Paso's Tabor Station...With less talk and more ROCK! (Jingle: "Kint-Ninety-Eight" and into something like Pat Benatar's "Heartbreaker")....  

[AMandFM]

Hands down..."Disco Duck".

[RFLA]

I remember when someone called years ago to say they were listening to WCKW up in Winnsboro,Louisiana (about 30 miles SE of Monroe)

Love all the answers and I can't really pick my all time hateful one... I know I do cringe everytime I gotta hear that duet by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton "islands in the stream" from 1983 that made it hot in country and a/c
