I did this on the CW site when it was new.
Some of you may have heard of Whimsical Will. He listed the top hits in a way that made the lyrics sound like part of a news report. I used to hear him on "Dr. Demento". The one time I remember him not doing the hits was when he did songs off Bruce Springsteen's new album instead. If he had done the hits at that time, this is what it might have sounded like.
Will: This is Whimsical Will, with shocking news. Our government has been selling arms to Iran, and using the proceeds to finance the Contras in Nicaragua! I have with me President and Mrs. Reagan. Mr. President, what was it like to hear this news?
Jon Bon Jovi: Shot to the heart!
Will: Mrs. Reagan, what has your husband said to you about this?
Ben E. King: Darling, darling, stand by me, oh oh oh stand by me.
Will: Vice President George Bush, what do you have to say about this?
Janet Jackson: I want to be in control.
Will: Let's talk to two former presidents. Jimmy Carter, what do you think about the current president having his own Iran crisis?
Bruce Hornsby: That's just the way it is. Some things will never change.
Will: Gerald Ford, when will you comment?
Peter Cetera: Next time I fall.
Will: I have with me the president of France, Francois Mitterand. Monsieur, what is your reaction?
Robbie Nevil's backup singers: C'est la vie! C'est la vie!
Will: The Ayatollah Khomeini is the one who wanted the U.S. to sell him weapons. Why, Imam, do you need them?
Bruce Springsteen: War! War!
Will: Saddam Hussein, leader of Iraq, the U.S. supported you, but now appears to be on the side of your enemy. Do you feel this is right?
Duran Duran: No! No! Notorious!
Will: Hosni Mubarak, president of another Middle Eastern country, what do you intend to do?
Susanna Hoffs: Walk like an Egyptian.
Will: And finally, Deng Xiaoping, leader of China. What should be done about this?
Wang Chung: Everybody have fun tonight!
Will: There you have it. Statements from many of the world leaders about yet another political scandal. This is Whimsical Will.
