retro radio moment for those who know it, an explanation for those who don't.
I give you a news story you pick a relevant song, it's as simple as, for example
story: obesity on the rise
song: size of a cow - the wonderstuff
the original can be heard here for a better idea of how the game is played, under son of cheesily.

Heres your starter story for today: Drawing a line under men's wrinkles
First there was Henry Cooper and Brut 33, then came Lynx and before long men like Vinnie Jones admitted to using moisturiser. But will they draw the line at the latest innovation in male grooming - anti-wrinkle cream?
Spread across pages two and three - a glossy commercial for L'Oreal Men Expert, featuring a George Clooney-esque middle-aged man. But is he as attractive as we think? "Face it," says the ad. "You're getting older. Don't ignore it."
His skin is "sagging". In other versions of the L'Oreal advert, other men are also in quite a state: One has shiny skin; another looks "tired, worn-out"; a third has, gasp, wrinkles.
Welcome, men, to the challenges faced by women for years. Now you, too, must stand mystified at the cosmetics counter, pondering a small jar of wrinkle-reduction cream that can cost as much as a decent night at the pub, and ask is it worth it?
my song for this story - you're so vain - carly simon

I miss them bad, started listening to Mark Radcliffe on Radio 2 but it's not the same, not the same at all. I think I've listened to all the archive clips on the website now. Sigh.
Kathryn, you pick a funny/clever song that relates to the story.

Tips for cabbies on US tourists
Taxi and limo drivers on Anglesey have started training on how to ensure cruise passengers from across the Atlantic "have a nice day".
The cruise liner Golden Princess is set to bring thousands of north American and Canadian visitors over the summer.
The island's county council says all kinds of tourist operations can benefit from the extra visitors.
It has launched a programme to allow the "Anglesey Ambassadors" cabbies to pick up visitors portside at Holyhead.

Ah man, I remember the tune suggested for that "Courtney air rage" story- Love Is In The Air. Brilliant.
Crap, I miss Mark & Lard so much :(

Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they’re girls

Uh? I thought you provided the story and someone else picked the song. Wouldn't it work better this way?
