- This upload was sourced from a JAM CD. Here's info about "The JAM Song" from the JAM website:
1985 was a very busy year for JAM. There were several CHR and A-C formatted stations competing in almost every city, and JAM did the jingles for most of them. Countdown shows abounded, and you could hear JAM on one after another. To take a "snapshot in time" of that moment, we wrote and recorded The JAM Song.
In order to create as accurate a time capsule as possible, each station's logo melody was correct (as of the day we recorded it) and each station's call letters were sung by the same combination of singers who sang their most recent JAM package. This required lots of research and many different recording sessions which spanned about three weeks.
We originally pressed The JAM Song onto a 7" record at 33 1/3 rpm, and mailed it out as a promotional item in September 1985. The back of the record jacket contained the song lyrics and credits, and identified the location of each station mentioned. In 1994 we digitally re-mastered The JAM Song from the original 30 ips master tape and released it on our 20th anniversary commemorative CD, "The First 20 Years".
The JAM Song takes a whimsical look at what we do, and predicts a time when you'll hear JAM jingles coming from other galaxies. There's even a brief aircheck of an intergalatic station whose legal ID is "Zorp Furble, Andromeda". It shows that despite language differences, radio and jingles are truly universal.
Many formats and call letters have changed since 1985, but it's still fun to look back. We hope you enjoy "The JAM Song".

The word "Zorpfurble" still pops up in my head from time to time.
This is absolutely incredible. Jam rocks the house, cleanest in the game!
Here's to JAM's golden year in 2024!
The personnel on this package went on to do more jingles. Hence why they're my hometown Dallas's music scene.

That's good info, thanks! I have the CD, but hadn't planned on posting anything else from it.
You should make a music video version of The JAM Song soon!
Looks like someone beat me to it: czcams.com/video/qepFMep0uv8/video.html -- I applaud the effort that was put into that!
