There's a rotation of things they play.
For example, if the market's down on monday, they'll usually play Blue Monday.
If there's a lot of volatility, they'll play Ain't Got That Swing.
If market's up, they'll play variations of We're in the Money.

But there are some others, too!
What are they and what else should they play?

They probably don't play it because they would probably get assaulted with complaints, but
every now and then, they ought to play "Walking on Sunshine" on an up day. Or whenever a big exec gets avoids jail time.

^ can't tell which you meant but 'avoids' is prob more appropriate, the show sounds like cnbc radio most of the time. and rysdall's smarminess stands out even on npr. and i find myself listening at least twice a week.

National Public Radio goes KFC route: Just call it 'NPR'

"We at the network want a musical cue with attitude. It's edgy, it's "in your face."
