I remember this 90s TV commercial for 93.7 The Edge, a Minnesota alternative radio station, very well. It features very non-alternative old people reciting lyrics like “bow down before the one you serve” and “Winona’s got herself a big brown beaver”.

I loved that station. It was a sad day when it changed formats (if only slightly) back in ‘97.
We had 93.7 in Houston as well. Rock in the 80s, later Country in the 2000s, not sure now. On the school bus in the mornings, the driver would put it on, and IIRC, the shows or jingles were “93Q in the Morning” and “Q Morning Zoo”. Whacky radio shows!! Morning radio is a format that I miss from the pre-iPod and pre-Spotify era.
Wow, blast from the past. I have this CD from them in my basement somewhere. https://ebay.io/m/plHaQM
I was so happy when this appeared on the internet. It’s lived in my head for…three decades?!?
There was this GREAT episode of...something on VH1 where they went into a Senior Center and handed the senior choir sheet music for Welcome to the Jungle.
I will never stop laughing at the octogenarian lady operatically singing, "Sha..na..na..na...Knees. Knees? Knees."
