Disc Jockeys Set Marathon Record With Shuiggy Boom
New Orleans radio duo Bill Stanley and Bill Elliott at WINCE began playing Shuiggy Boom at 6 am and by 11 am had logged 29 hours, reportedly spinning the record about 353 times in the first day. They planned to continue until quitting or a new world mark. Station GM James Gordon confirmed the effort from WNOE transmitter at Belle Chasse and noted only brief breaks for commercials and news. The song, by Al Jarvis of Los Angeles, features a lover pleading for affection with a recurring chorus. Jarvis called the tune not a direct copy of Sta Dust and predicted limited sales if any in Paris.
