I believe they played it during a specialty feature such as the Thursday
Night Top-20 countdown or the Saturday Night Request Party. It's definitely
not in their regular rotation.

I don't know whether this is true, but someone told me that WODS sent an
amount of their music library from 1170 Soldiers Field to Leo Birmingham
Parkway via MP3 files.

If so, perhaps that could be part of their problems.
