"Classic Rock" (n.) A radio station format that will play Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll" four to five times a week but will never play any actual old-time rock and roll.
"Convoy" (n.) 1) Group of vehicles traveling together for mutual protection and support. 2) Novelty song by C.W. McCall jumping on the CB radio craze; the funniest thing 1976 produced other than the idea Jimmy Carter could be president and without that idea's tragic aftermath.
"Morning Show" (n.) Name for radio morning drive time programming. Ingredients: Two air "talent personalities," assorted subordinate personalities, various readily identifiable shticks and "comedic" acts. Humor, good taste, music optional.
"Irony" (n.) Condition in which expected result or situation differs from actual result or situation. Ex. Hearing greater variety of music on a station promoting itself as playing the "greatest country hits of all time" than on one using the slogan "classic rock's next generation."

While it's still there: the best-ever parody of "Convoy."
Sheeler & Sheeler, "Car Phone," 1990.
Funny indeed...
