Hitz FM Melbourne: Controversial 'Real Sound of Summer' promo

Back in the Summer of 1995/96, youth radio station Hitz FM was surprised to hear the latest promo by large commercial station Fox FM. They’d used Leftfield and Lydon’s song "Open Up" – with some random people saying “hits” (Hitz?) plus a female vocalist singing “The new sound of Summer”.

Within a few hours, the Hitz crew worked out how to edit the song in exactly the same way, got a similar female vocalist (to sing new lyrics) and wrote our own very cheeky version of the promo.

Then played it as often as possible.
