Wow, this thread has been going for years! The only thing I have to add to these fine comments is that the Boston DJ who made this famous in the 60's (at least for those who hadn't heard it before) was Dick Summer on WBZ. He even had a musical recording made of it - ending with "toot toot" - and I can still recite it perfectly from memory to this day. Funny the things your brain cells retain after 50 years.

Dick, "Juicy Brucey" Bradley, and Arnie "Woo Woo" Ginsberg (on WMEX) were my idols as a teen, and a large part of why I got into radio in college and beyond. While I worked from "town to town, up and down the dial", as the song goes, I may have been "popular" but never "famous". That's OK. Not everyone can be a legend.
