MIDI - VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR - scroll down to the bottom to the Buggles
I awoke to KFI and heard Bill Handel
It seems someone named Ali had lost his sandal
Oh, my goodness, has he caused another scandal
Ooh ah ooh
He made fun of Muslims who had been stampeding
Helicopters in the sky they might be needing
Perhaps radio decorum he's exceeding
Ooh ah ooh...it drove them crazy
Ooh ah ooh...just freaking crazy
CAIR wants to get the radio star...CAIR wants to get the radio star
This time he had gone too far....and they were not laughing
They demanded that he start apologizing
From a Nobel Peace Prize guy it was surprising
This is something he can't be minimizing
Ooh ah ooh...it drove them crazy
Ooh ah ooh...just freaking crazy
CAIR wants to get the radio star...CAIR wants to get the radio star
This time he had gone too far....will they sue him for big dinar
This time they're not laughing...no, they were not laughing
But let's see things logically...Muslims don't say live and let be
They want to kill you and me
THEY KEEP BLOWING UP THINGS!
CAIR wants to get the radio star...CAIR wants to get the radio star
This time he had gone too far....sometimes he's doing things so bizarre
But he doesn't blow up cars...who do the CAIR guys think they are
CAIR wants to get the radio star...CAIR wants to get the radio star
CAIR wants to get the radio star...CAIR wants to get the radio star
CAIR wants to get the radio star...CAIR wants to get the radio star
CAIR wants to get the radio star...CAIR wants to get the radio star
CAIR wants to get the radio star...CAIR wants to get the radio star
CAIR wants to get the radio star

CAIR-LA: KFI Host Under Fire for Islamophobic Remarks
Source: Billboard Radio Monitor
Clear Channel talk KFI Los Angeles morning man Bill Handel is under fire from a Muslim civil liberties group because of comments he reportedly made earlier this month. The Council on American-Islamic Relations has asked that Handel apologize for making fun of a stampede that killed hundreds of Muslims during an annual pilgrimage.
Over 350 pilgrims were killed and hundreds injured in a stampede Jan. 12 in Mecca, where thousands of people were rushing to carry out a symbolic ritual of stoning the devil, according to the Associated Press.
That same day, Handel reportedly imitated the people screaming and then joked that the Muslims at the pilgrimage should use a helicopter to monitor pilgrimage traffic.
The group quoted Handel as saying: "This is Mahmoud Nolan. Hajj in the Sky. There is an accident. … Ali lost his sandal on the on-ramp to the Martin Luther King Jr. freeway."
Two years ago, KFI issued an on-air apology after the group filed a complaint with the FCC following a skit that claimed Muslims have sex with animals, don't bathe and hate Jews.
Billboard Radio Monitor has contacted KFI for a statement, but at press time, the call had not been returned.

Hey CAIR, apologize this!!!
LA radio personality puts conditions on Muslim apology
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles radio personality said Monday he would apologize for an on-air skit that made fun of the deaths of hundreds of Muslims, but only if an Islamic civil rights group denounces terrorism and acknowledges Israel's right to exist.
The Council of American Islamic Relations demanded the apology last week after KFI 640 host Bill Handel made fun of the deaths of at least 363 Muslims during a stampede at an annual pilgrimage in Mecca.
According to CAIR, Handel imitated the people screaming and then joked that the Muslims at the pilgrimage should use a helicopter to monitor pilgrimage traffic, as is done with Los Angeles' freeway traffic.
On his program Monday, Handel said he would apologize, but only if CAIR agreed to denounce "all bombing or attacks where intended victims are innocent citizens," to acknowledge Israeli sovereignty and to verify that the group has never had connections with any terrorist group or sponsor.
If those conditions are met, "I'll be more than happy to apologize for offending people, I'll apologize all day long," Handel said in a live 12-minute response to CAIR's complaint. He said the station had received hundreds of letters from all over the world demanding an apology.
"CAIR's record is clear. We've had numerous statements denouncing terrorism and all the things he was talking about," said CAIR spokeswoman Sabiha Khan.
She called Handel's conditions a "smoke screen" for his refusal to take responsibility for his remarks.
I'm a pretty mild-mannered individual, but I may possibly be considered CAIR-a-phobic. Thanks, Doug!
If anyone wants to send the song to CAIR, that might be nice.
Great job as always, Doug! Hope you ship it off to Handel posthaste!
I sent it to Handel; you send it to CAIR. :)
lol! Whatsamattawidju? Maybe I'll use one of my obscure junk emails? :)
And get myself on THAT mailing list? Not on your life! :-)
Screw CAIR and their sensibilities.
rofl! I lock my darned door nowadays. I never used to. :)

Must be "Smite Thine Enemy" week down at CAIR.
Saw it. Thanks.
There's a "big" Muslim rally in NYC on Superbowl Sunday. Denouncing terrorism and all that, don't ya know. :)
I'm sure the press will be out in force to cover both participants.
I think Handel should invite CAIR on his show personally to have a debate with Daniel Piples about their written lies, er statements...
I have one problem with Pipes. He allows a pass for moderate Muslims. I cannot be that diplomatic.
OMG rack it Doug LOLOLOL!
That cute I remember original song Video kill Radio star LOL!
