By the close of 1963, Don Zee had garnered significant popularity among teenage radio listeners with his “All-Night Satellite Show,” broadcast overnight on WXYZ. However, by the conclusion of 1964, his presence on the airwaves had shifted primarily to weekends, airing on both Saturdays and Sundays. By July 1965, Don Zee had departed from WXYZ altogether. Nonetheless, his resonant voice continued to captivate audiences as he resumed his overnight show, now transmitted from across the river at CKLW Radio 8-0 in Windsor, Ontario.
Today we are presenting Don Zee’s CKLW show-opening theme. This one from 1960 – TARANTULA – by The Tarantulas (which incidentally, Don also played opening his overnight shows when he was at WXYZ).

This opening song always made me feel like it was a relative of “Wipeout!” Loved it!!
