On April 9, 2001, radio station 93.7 The Coast had an interesting three-song lineup for its "Theme Park." Since you asked, that's a segment where the DJ plays a trio of selections. Then, the listener has to determine how all of the tracks tie together.This particular merry-go-round had The Who's "Who Are You?", Alanis Morrisette's "You Outta Know", and Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" as horses waiting to be saddled. With the rotation complete, caller #1 thought the cuts were found on each band's respective first album. Think again. The second guesser was closer to the mark -- "They all have the F-word bleeped out." Actually, only Morrisette's number was censorship-shaped ("Are you thinking of me when you ---- her?"). The Who ("Tell me, who the fuck are you?") and Pearl Jam ("Seemed a harmless little fuck") penetrated the FCC walls with relative ease. This fact was pointed out by the on-air personality. Nevertheless, she deemed caller #2's conjecture to be acceptable, and the prize of two tickets for Edwin McCain And The Ultimate Spiral Fries was soon in the dialer's hands.
FCC's thoughts concerning "Theme Park" were saved till later on.
