So I checked it and I can say that they never used this sample from Yello. As far as I was able to check it, it has always been done by P3 themselves. As one said, "Yello was not the only persons to discover that this was something that was possible to say and record". A little harsh said maybe, but it turned out that they were a bit tired of hearing this.

And, speaking of the Swedish national radio, especially P3, I've been into that mess myself too and I've never been able to tell what's for real and what's not in the house, with all the rumours in there...

They do >a weekend show called Totally 80's and one of the spots (commercials) they use >during their "normal" programming is a spoof with "Oh Yeah" in the background. There is a saying, that I can't recall off the top of my head (had my head buried deep in mixed architecture vaxclusters most of the day!) but it goes something like: parody is a high form of flattery... or something like. not those words, but I hope you get the idea. All I would trust is that Yello get their airplay dues from use of it. >I think an international email reply to this is called for. Maybe we can each >say that we are writing from (your country) and take offence to this. At the >same time we can suggest that they consider adding songs from "Pocket >Universe" to their playlist. Their slogan is "Today's Best Music" Why? In the UK, it's full of radio stations that claim they are the "better music mix, more music mix", etc. etc., so many liner cards in front of a DJ you'd think that the people employed by radio stations in the UK are incapable of having any 'safe' thoughts of their own. Personally I do not take such stations seriously, and I don't think you should take this station seriously. Today's radio is "safe wallpaper for the masses" nothing more, nothing less. You should applaud the station for trying to be vaguely different and imaginative. Your calls for them to add Yello to their playlist will fall on deaf ears, they'll stick 5 tunes 15 times a day in strict rotation with other 'safe' music, and that's your lot. Computerised music selection for you! Someone at the station has perhaps seen an opportunity to use the music of Yello, you should be pleased to hear it in any form at all, particularly on a mainstream radio station. Just my thoughts.
