Came on just a umPH before Captain Morgan, and was playing a 60's flavored track with the lyric (I think) "and never die".  Hard to tell.

Big mix here for a couple minutes until the USB went off at 0109.

Around S6 and thanks!

JFarley's "and never die" lyric guess has been bugging me all night at work.
I knew that lyric fragment from somewhere, but I finally got it!!!

The song in Sealord's clip is "Heaven & Hell" by The Who.

"Why can't we have eternal life, and never die?"

Yeesh. Now I can sleep...  :^)

SDR catch. Not particularly strong, maybe S3.

The RF signature was very familiar, but the old mental neurons weren't IDing the song.  Thanks SL and Mentholyptus!  I appreciate the info, and also thanks R; we will be looking for this hopefully in the future!

Yeesh. Now I can sleep...  :^)

This wasn't hindering my sleep, but a vivid dream based on the KIPM show and also the Woody Harrelson "BCing from Yellowstone Park" scene in the movie 2012, both of which kind of morphed together, kept me waking up for a while.  Cool!
