- CJRW, Home of the classic hits.
- Hi, is this Nighttime Dan?
- Yes it is. Who am i speaking with?
- This is The Greatest... but first off I'd like to tell you that I'm a really big fan.
- That's nice to hear. Do you have a request?
- ...and that I'm a first time caller but a long time listener.
- Thanks for calling so what's your request. 
- Oh yes, excuse me, I'm a bit nervous. 
- Just spit it out. 
- Okay. Here goes. Ahem. I'd like you to play the The Greatest Song of All Time. 
- And what would that be? 
- Be? It's The Greatest Song of All Time.
- I'm sorry sir but I'll need a title. 
- It's The Gre...
- Song of all time. Yes sir, but I'll still need a song title or an artist.
- I told you it's...
- look I'm not that great at guessing games and we got a line up of callers so just tell us what the greatest song of all time is and we'll play it for you. 
- it's me.
- what?
- It's me. I'm The Greatest Song of All Time. 
- Really sir? 
- Really. 
- Are you sure? Because i've never heard of you. 
- That's because you haven't played me. 
- But it's just not that easy sir - umm may I call you Greatest? 
- Sure. 
- Look Greatest, I'm sure you are great and that people really love you but I just can't play something unproven that no one has ever heard.
