* Ballad of the TIX Tigers (2:39)

In 1962, inspired by the success of the new CBS-TV show "The Beverly Hillbillies," WTIX created and recorded "The Ballad Of The TIX Tigers." Using the actual TV show theme song "The Ballad Of Jed Clampett" and splicing the banjo on the beginning over and over, a similar fun song was born that spotlighted the WTIX DJ's of 1962 instead of the Clampett family. This fun song is still fondly remembered by many today. The "singer" is (WTIX DJ) Ed Ripley. The DJ's he 'sings' about are: Ron Martin, David Nebel, Bill Baker, Ed Ripley, Bob Robin, Ted Green and Gene Phillips.
