I hate to see this idea coupled with a requirement to fill out a form which
says at the bottom "By submitting this form, you are consenting to receive
marketing emails from: Paragon Media Strategies". I won't be filling out
that form. Of course we have the John Lennon song and if I air it I will
probably air just before or after it one of the many Ukrainian songs
available on YouTube such as this one
