Hey, JORR, Wendy Rice isn't dropping the 'T' in "Saturday" as much!
I see they played "The Sweater" and I missed it. Drat.

Yup, according to local radio music directors. Fans flooded the phone lines requesting the song at both WCBR-FM (92.7) and WXRT-FM (93.1) when the stations started playing the "The Sweater" a few weeks ago. Now, the callers still phone in, but now they tell the stations to pull the song.
"That song fell into the pattern of most novelty songs," says 'XRT music director Paul Marszalek. "When you first start playing it, phone calls explode with positive responses. But novelty songs have very short lifespans. People get sick of listening to them as fast as they fall in love with them."
WCBR's music director Tommy Lee Johnston concurs. "We played it about twice a day two months ago, but now it'll come up maybe once every four days."
