One night when I was on the air, I put on the album (old days, vinyl), ran to the bathroom two floors up and, knowing I had plenty of time until Her Majesty, stopped in a friend's room to hang out for a little while. After about 15 minutes we turned on the radio to see how much time I had and I heard "You never give ... you never give ... you never give ... you never give ..."
