Should OFF TOPIC keep Nigel as an opening, or get rid of him and replace him with something more... Current? Or even a custom opening?

It's a quirky song but I'd give it the boot.. Def avoid doing a muscletech style theme and stay with an indie vibe.

With or without voice over? Just another indie song?

After thinking about it maybe stay with what you got- the song is now synonymous with your show... what do I know anyway...

Kick the voice, I do like the background music though and every time I hear that song on my indie station I'm reminded of Off Topic

Replacing a classic XTC song would be heretical! I demand you keep Nigel or face serious repercussions.

Give it the boot. It's a lame song and you play about 1 1/2 minutes of it. If you keep using it maybe cut it to 10 seconds.
I like the mashups. How 'bout using "Smells Like Teen Booty" seeing Carl loves that one???

If you're going to use mashups, go for the better ones- for example anything off of Girl Talk's most recent album.

Replacing Nigel!? Fuck no!

I've been a fan of the song since I kept hearing it the show. 'Nigel' and Off-topic are one and the same for me now.

That's funny, I actually like the fact that so much of the song is being played as an intro. Usually Carl starts talking after the funky guitar part after the verse.
Have you guys seen the videoclip by the way? It's pretty weird!

That song is very white!

But I like it and when I hear it being played on OFF TOPIC RADIO I find myself losing my blackness by singing along. **bows head in shame**

I voted for it to stay. :wavey:
