      Cuts 1, 7, 9, 12, and 15 from the “Into The Music” demo were custom made for Radio 1 as part of the 1984 set. The Robbie Vincent cut ended up being demoed for “Warp Factor”.

      Bizarrely, the “Yes” soundalike didn’t make it onto the demo, and the show itself was gone by late 1985, with Andy Kershaw filling Peel’s old Thursday slot.

            Good work there Rak. Can you work your magic on Bad Boys by Wham! and a cut from the 1984 R1 package ?

              Ha – loved this David. I’ve had the idea to do something similar with Alfasound vs the Pet Shop Boys for a while…

              … so this was the kick I needed! haha.

                  A few more. Firstly I was looking at Genesis albums after watching the BBC FOUR programmes, and someone was accusing Phil Collins of ripping off Sly and The Family Stone’s “Hot Fun in the Summertime” – (which he admits to on Wiki), that song title made me think of Turbo Z (unsurprisingly), so here’s a segue from one to the other, via Turbo Z cut 17.

                  Back to Yes – someone at Radio One (or JAM!) must be a fan….

                  Finally, for now – how many songs are there that have had TWO jingles inspired by them – there are 2 jingles in this Rush file – listen to the first 30 seconds or so:

                        Some great mixes there, Spoons! Love the Liberty package. I’ve still got a couple more Radio One cuts to mash up.

                                Amazing is all I can say. Real skill. I loved the Hall & oates.

                                    And Radio Victory Vs Blue Oyster Cult – Reaper (instrumental version…) isn’t too bad either!

                                    And if you’re on an iPhone or other thingy – um, I’ll work that out later !

                                        Ha – no worries. You know, it makes you realise how accurate Alfasound’s take-off was. Super job by whoever arranged it. I can only assume Alan Fawkes – but who knows as it was quite a departure to normal Alfasound early 80s stuff.

                                          Nice edit, Spoons! Going back to the first post, search for “Leave it Acapella” on Spotify/Grooveshark – the layering of vocals sounds really nice.

                                              OK then here’s my rather rushed attempt.

                                              Slightly later than the others, from the 1994 package JAM Vs Nirvana.

                                                Same here. My terrible musical knowledge of the period means that I hadn’t spotted the links between the songs and the jingles. The audio you’re all posting is really illuminating. Thank you!

                                                  Digging up an old thread – I’ve done a couple more of these soundalike mashups, including Janet Jackson and Simple Minds.

                                                  I’ve put these, and the originals – some had been killed off by Soundcloud on account of using copyrighted (ahem) material, but are back up with shorter clips of the hit records. There seems to be q bit of a Steve Lipson/Trevor Horn connection between a few of them, so either someone at Radio One (or Jon) was a fan, in which case they could do worse than see his band Live sometime. :)

                                                    A JAM custom jingle “influenced” by a Scottish rock band’s track?

                                                      I heard the 1982 Police influenced jingle from Music Now differently….. It sounded more like Don’t Stand So Close To Me, to me. (no Chuckle Brother’s puns please).

                                                      At the time I was sure that Sting had done this as a cross promotion thing for the BBC, the vocal was so convincing. Unlike anything else in the package it just fades like a song long after the vocal has ended. I can’t think of any other JAM production that does this….. Perhaps Jon will tell us more:
