Try singing K-U-O-W FM 95 to the tune of K-J-R Seattle Channel 95. A perfect fit!

  FM replaces the word “Channel”, which is excised.

    What do I know? I received a rejection letter from the Johnny Mann Singers. Apparently, they don’t like my voice.
    
    For the newbies: Mann wrote a number of radio jingles, the most famous being the “Sound of the City” jingle for KSFO in San Francisco, California. This jingle became as requested as many of the songs played by KSFO, and it was adapted by Mann for other radio stations around the country which included KVI Seattle. Mann can be seen on YouTube videos at a Los Angeles recording studio directing his six-voice jingles singers while they sing logos for radio station KRTH-FM (K-Earth 101). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mObI_EvSZTs
