Radio listeners: What is the show biz name for the brief sound snippets DJs use? |
|
Little bits of music or recorded speech used to be funny or punctuate a point.
Stephanie Miller has around the best collection I've ever heard, particularly little bits of music from cartoons (Flinstones etc.), little recordings of her or someone else saying "What-EV-er!" etc.
This has been bugging me!

At one point I totally would have known the answer to the OP, but I can't think of what they're called. :banghead:

3. I thought bumpers were the longer pieces of music to segue in and out of commercial. |

I'm talking gimmicky one second sound bites.

5. Ah thank you now I can die peacefully, in my sleep, like Grandpa. Not screaming in terror like |

the passengers in his car.

6. XemaSab is right. They're called drops. |
|
Bumpers are used to segue between songs or into/out of ads.
