(S5 peaks with moderate fading amidst high noise level)
2149 UTC "Eat It"-Weird Al

Thanks for the Weird Al today! I have not been able to ID the music after the Weird Al tunes...
2224 UTC OM said something, but tough copy with the noise here
(The instrumental music reminds me of Montovani or maybe 101 Strings)
2239 UTC OM said "Believe it or not, this is Weird Al"  8)
2249 UTC OM DJ chat..."Happy Hump Day...you got the Thunder Chicken here", followed by a genre change
