"Oh Wally" by Steve Dahl - (the 'demo' version) - classic parody song

http://www.Dahl.com/podcasts http://www.Dahl.com/iTunes Here is the one of the early 'demo' versions of Steve Dahl's "Oh Wally" with some different lyrics from the final version. It was about WGN radio personality and morning competition Wally Phillips that Steve spent a fair amount of time ripping on. The song is a parody of the Barry Manilow (or as Steve would call him "Barely A-Manilow") song "Mandy" a soft rock hit from 1974. There was obviously a Steve Dahl and Wally Phillips rivalry as Steve represented the new 'young' talk radio in Chicago while Wally was a staple of Chicago radio but more representative of an older generation of listeners, as was Wally's station WGN during that era (it still is somewhat despite now having Garry Meier!) Wally was also the guy to beat in the ratings as he had a long-time entrenched fan base in the morning, so it was an easy rivalry to have occur. (Steve and Wally mended fences many years later at Wally's retirement party but there was an on-going feud for many years before that.) The voice in the song was Steve's character "The Lady From Tinley Park" who was a generalizaion of the 'old ladies' that listened to Wally and WGN ("Wally, I need directions to O'Hare..." "Wally, there's too many Negroes downtown..." ) Find the original 'studio' release in the store on Steve Dahl's website (or on iTunes): http://www.Dahl.com/store
