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" Edited by hofflalu |

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.
