Radio 1: The Jocks

JOHN, Adrian

Out of all 'em, we've saved this for Adrian: A great face for radio!ARCHETYPAL ‘lets the music do the talking’ (ie dull patter, tinted pilot spectacles etc) jock, presented weekday early mornings for seven years. Main reason for employment seems to have been to cause confusion with Adrian Juste.

    I cant recall too much of Adrians ability as a DJ ( although he must have been talented just to have made it onto Radio 1!! ) I do recall a rather good jingle of his.It was based on Joe Fagins theme to Auf Wiedershen,Pet and the first few lines were ” Now its Adrian One, on Radio John…that doesn’t sound right ( that doesn’t sound right )”. A bit vague, i’m afraid but thats all I can remember of it.

      As someone who uses maths professionally, the jingle with its permutations appealed to me a lot.
      Here are the words — the link below doesn’t work.

      Now it’s Adrian One
      Here on Radio John
      That doesn’t sound right
      (That’s living all right)

      Is it John Radio?
      Or One Adrian? No
      That still isn’t right
      (That’s living all right)

      It’s so hard to be clear
      When your brain’s not in gear
      But whoever he is
      He’s all right

      I know. It’s Adrian John
      And it’s Radio One
      Now that sounds all right!

    Here is the Adrian John jingle, tracked down by my girlfriend. I really hope it works because this is unquestionably the greatest radio jingle ever.

    Thanks very much for putting the jingle on here, David. It is a great jingle and it was good to hear it again.
