Similarly, WHHY-FM in Montgomery, Ala., caused a traffic jam Tuesday afternoon when it held an "Insane Hussein" party.
There were no song parodies. But the station gave away five gallons of gas to the first 102 cars in line and had a dunking booth with a person dressed as the Iraqi leader.
Following in the footsteps of history, Rush Limbaugh's nationally-syndicated radio talk show set "Bomb Iraq" to "Barbara Ann."
"We had a guy call up who said, `let's go in there and take Hussein out,' "Limbaugh said. "I said, `here's a song for you,' and we played it."
In Dallas, KMGC-FM dubbed over the Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy," with the lyrics:
"Hussein is crazy, ooh, ooh
"So call his bluff, ooh, ooh
"Hussein is crazy, and things could really get rough.
"Ooh, ooh ..."
KLZX AM & FM in Salt Lake City serenaded its listeners with "Iraq, Iraq," based on "New York, New York," and "Hussein," sung to Eric Clapton's "Cocaine."
Country and western stations are also getting into the act. Disc jockey Ken Cooper at KZLA in Burbank, Calif., came up with several parodies, such as a twist on Hank Williams Jr.'s "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" that goes "All My Saudi Friends are Coming Over Tonight."
Michael Coleman, production director of Boston's WZLX, said the station's first parody got such a response he decided to produce several others.
