Casey talking over vocals

[Adrian]

I've just listened to part of the March 2, 1974 show, and Casey was talking over the first word of Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets". This is made all the more interesting because the song had just debut that week, and editing intros to coincide with the start of a song was already standard practice by then.

Other than several instances where Casey may have talked over the "body" of an instrumental, or over a song intro that may consist of one or two words (such as Ray Parker Jr's "The Other Woman" where he sings "oh yeah" during the intro - I'm sure there are better examples out there), were there any other instances where Casey would continue talking after the vocals of a song had already begun?

My guess is any "modern" examples of this would be because the voicetracks were not lined up properly. However, older examples when the show was recorded in "real time" were probably just because he had 2 words of copy left to go and missed the post.

No Casey memories to speak of, but I distinctly remember one week when Shadoe talked over the whole first line of "Freedom" by George Michael ("I won't let you down..."). The engineers apparently edited his voice track in incorrectly, mistakenly leading him up to "...I will not give you up..." (If anyone can confirm this for me, I'd appreciate it!)

The second week "Blaze of Glory" by Jon Bon Jovi was on Casey's Top 40, Casey's intro either went right up against the first word or partially he talked over it.
