I know it's a copycat thread, but I'm interested.

Maybe it was Jive Bunny.

It certainly was not Jive Bunny.

There were megamixes doing the rounds in the 70s, no?

I didn't see the other thread. I apologise for taking your Jive Bunny suggestion at face value.

Well, my stepdad did a megamix on reel-to-reel in the 60s, so it certainly wasn't jive bunny.

Is there a difference between a medley and a megamix?

I suspect Johnney B's stepdad just did a medley. Maybe I'm harshing his buzz.

medleys tend to be one song into another

megamixes tend to feature different bits of different songs repositioned e.g. the Technotronic megamix

this definition puts Jive Bunny's material somewhere between the two - i would call it a meddlemix

2 Many DJs, obviously.

Sorry Stevem, I guess you can't keep a bad joke down...

You may as well fucking listen to your television news broadcast for useless soundbites that become all simultaneously useless. Listen to radio car commercials. This bullshit created attention deficit disorder. Is was created as a joke by some radio interns with 5,000 snippets of junk. A medley in this case would at least mean there was effort. Junk. Junk. Junk.
