I recall hearing on the radio in the Milwaukee area in
1984 a version of "The Heart Of Rock & Roll" by Huey
Lewis & The News where Lewis yells "Milwaukee" towards
the end. That's essentially become my white whale radio
version of a song -- since I now work on a classic hits
station up in Eau Claire, WI, I'd play that version (he
apparently also said "Minneapolis!" in that one) on the
radio...if a copy still exists.

I understand there were other custom versions, and I
happened across a Canadian/international one that did
make its way to YouTube:

Heart Of
Rock & Roll Alternate Versions


Does anyone know if any other custom versions -- and,
particularly, that "Milwaukee/Minneapolis" one -- are
still around somewhere?

I have the “Knoxville-Nashville, Tennessee” version on my YouTube channel.
Huey Lews
and the News - Heart of Rock & Roll (Knoxville-Nashville, TN version)


As for “We Built This City”, I have the four versions that were used on
WCBS-FM in New York uploaded here.
Starship - We Built This City (WCBS-FM
New York Custom Versions)
.

I have a couple other local versions of the Starship song, but I haven’t
posted them anywhere.

We did our own local version at K104 in Erie PA in 1985 but
unfortunately I don't own a copy nor know anyone from back
then that does.

Huey did one for Chicago (adding Kansas City as well)--WLS-AM/FM in Chicago played it to death. There's an aircheck of WLS
floating around on Mixcloud that has it.

I Googled "Mixcloud" for Milwaukee & Minneapolis stations
after reading your post, and stumbled across -- on the
Internet Archive -- a cassette tape recording of
"Countdown '84" by WLOL in Minneapolis. Partway through
segment 11, there was the "Minneapolis! Milwaukee!"
version:

WLOL
"Countdown '84"

Neat-o! I didn't realize that was on there! Thank you, Internet Archive!
There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

There was one made for "Syracuse-Albany" which was played on WTRY, but unfortunately I didn't save the tape.
