Everyone has those little questions, like 'what ever happened to…' or 'who composed that…'.

If you have any question like this, OR an answer to one of them, please reply!

My question:
I always wondered if the New York 97 Song (JAM/WYNY) was ever syndicated, and if so, by whom… I never heard another version but the one with the 'NYC'-lyrics…

Thanks!

I'm sure JMW has answered this at some time in the past!
Time for a deep trawl through the JM back-archives…

To Iain: I think you`re right but I cannot find it !

To Marc: have you got the JAM CD called “The First 20 Years” ? – the WYNY jingle is mentioned on there…

[MarcMannetje]

I have and know the NYC-version of the cut, but the little song never apeared with other lyrics for another market… I think!

Good idea Sean but there`s a problem…when you got to “profile” and click on “Click here to View Forum Posts” it only shows you the last 4 to 5 posts, it doesn`t show you ALL the posts – another problem for Roy Martin to rectify.

Wasn't it part of 'Dance to The Music' -or am I thinking of a different WYNY jingle?

[MarcMannetje]

Thanks guys!

I think it was part of New York 97? On the JAM site there's on the fan-page some info about the project, but my specific question is if the song was ever syndicated/resung in another language of for other cities…

[Barras]

I haven`t heard it resung for any other station Marc, hopefully Jon@JAM will see your question and give the definitive answer…

BTW there`s a webpage which plays the WYNY jingle and features the WYNY reunion in 2004, including a photo of someone called Tracy Carman !

The WYNY Song came up in a Thread a wee while back…

The WYNY image song was and is a orginal.
There is no other versions of it around.
This was explained to me in a previous post.

[MarcMannetje]

Thanks all, I sort of got the impression it was a one of a kind thing, although the song in my opinion was perfectly suitable for other cities/lyrics… Cheers!

The fact is that there are other versions of the NY97 Song, although not many stations ordered the entire thing. Some clients just got particular sections. I recall that we did do the whole song for WVCG in Coral Gables, Florida (although they used quite a bit of the original lyrics to avoid the cost of re-singing it all).

The “one of a kind” thing you might be thinking of is The JAM Song. It has never been re-sung for any other purpose. About a minute of the music track is used under the announcer at the beginning of Classic Jam disc #2.

[MarcMannetje]

Thank's Jon I appreciate this.

Of course no of us know all, as we could see in this thread, but it was fun finding it out all together!

[GlennaMember]

So does anybody have a different remix. ( besides Jon)

[MarcMannetje]

That IS a good question indeed!

[GlennaMember]

The jingle comes as a question or gets [osted around every six months.
You would that a remix would show up.
