hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Sep. 03 2004, 11:06 U.S.? I don't recall that "Moonlight Shadow" ever got airplay here. "Theme from the Exorcist" was played on the radio a lot, as was the Hall and Oates cover of "Family Man". However, both songs are ignored by "oldies" stations that play lots of other music from those years. Now, the only airplay we get are TV ads for Exorcist movies every few years, and ads for compilations like "Bellbottom Rock" and "Pure Moods" which feature the beginning of Tubular Bells. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

But I guess that in places like Spain Mike gets broadcasted every other day... -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
