Answer 3

I suppose there are only so many ways of expressing good or bad music and they dont like to put people off music by slating every record. I get more annoyed by the adverts on local radio stations as they are very repetitive but that is how they keep on the air.

I can remember when Tony Blackburn used to do the chart show on the radio and his catchphrase was thats a sensational sound.

Another viewpoint on the subject found on net.
Mark and Lard is the title given to the comedy duo of Mark Radcliffe and Marc Riley (Lard). These likely lads hail from Manchester, and it is from the Radio 1 studio in Manchester that they do their show. They are without a doubt comedy DJs, an obvious and very successful attempt to draw in working listeners and brighten up the nations working afternoons. They were originally drafted for the breakfast show, but after a disastrous drop in ratings, were quickly shifted to a mid-afternoon slot, from 2 to 4. Recently, many years after finding their niche in the Radio market, they have been moved to a 1 till 3 slot, after Simon Mayo finally left his 3 hour morning show, and left room for Chris Moyles, another of my favourites, to take on an extra hour. I presume the lads were offered an extra hour, but as regular listeners will know, these two will do as little work as possible, an extra hour would not appeal to them. However, the small amount of time it is on air, the duo's show offers a hilarious blend of intelligent (and some, perhaps less intelligent) humour, regular comedy features, mindless, repetitive yet loveable catchphrases and some excellent music.

To put it simply, the whole show is based on the idea that if you repeat catchphrases, jokes or comedy features enough they will become funny. And I don’t mean that as a criticism, as it is this repetition, something that they themselves play upon (‘keep flogging the catc hphrases…to death’) that makes the show so likeable and funny. The show does, however, have an interesting twist on these catchphrases; including ‘biggedy biggedy bong’, ‘I was having a drink then’ and ‘caddelly caddelly hoo hoo’ they are read on request of the listeners. A typical catchphrase reading would go like this:
“Could you say a biggedy biggedy bong for Jimmy Hogloop in Newcastle?”
“Biggedy biggedy bong”
“That’s from his wife Laura.”
It makes no sense and sounds completely pointless to a ‘non-listener’ and frankly it is, but is something that seems to help the show flow along smoothly and offers a good method of interaction with the listeners. It also helps establish originality in the show, something rarely seen amongst a plethora of DJs up and down the country who will do nothing more than press buttons and say the name of the song.

Answer 4

You guys say all this but then think about it, they have so many hours to fill, and you don;t become a dj unless you like music so are they supposed to not give opinions on what they are playing? What would you do if you were in their place?

Answer 5

Yep, but often the song was actually a great record

listen to planet rock =D

Answer 6

YES, they really freak me out especially when they crash the vocals at the start AND end of the track. Also, the fact that there's no one station that doesn't have at least one...

Haven't you heard of Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouses 'Smashie and Nicey' they are British comedians who basically took the myrth out of those matey-DJ types.
