Favorite Prank Calls (Part 1)
Posted in Uncategorized by finalcountdown on October 21st, 2008 Hello everyone. It’s obviously been WAY too long since I’ve posted anything up here. After months of procrastination, I’ve decided to work up the courage to re-enter the insect laden, cobweb encrusted storage shed that houses most of the old Final Countdown tapes. I hope you folks realize the health hazards I am risking to bring you the best (and worst) of mid-80’s independent HC/Metal radio. So - to tide you over while I undertake this new expedition into the unknown, I’ve decided to post a couple of episodes featuring my favorite prank calls of the last 20 years. Although great in their own right, there are no Jerky Boys or Tube Bar bits here. Instead, you get to hear the saga of little Chun Nguyen, a Cambodian refugee whose sponsors are desperately (and hilariously) trying to place into a home in Garden Grove. As a bonus, you also get the ‘Alpha Beta Secret Admirer’ bit. More stuff on Part 2. Tons of thanks to Elise Thompson for turning me on to this tape many years ago! Hope you dig it…
