Once upon a time, I was a Junior Cub Broadcaster, working at the now-dark radio station in Fuquay-Varina. I was 15 and blessed to have a fun job running the board there. We ran syndicated shows in the afternoon, and that left me plenty of time to play.

I remember listening to a CD of the best radio spots of that year (1994), and I’ve never forgotten one of them. It was for some bank, which wanted to project a friendly, local feel. The spot had a parody jingle for “Behemoth Bank and Trust.” It sounded just like a bank jingle. Here are the lyrics:

When you walk into Behemoth Bank
Don’t expect a smile
Or a friendly “how do you do?”
‘Cause that’s just not our style

We’ve got a ton of money,
So why should we give a hoot?
We’re Behemoth Bank and Trust
And we don’t care about you.
