Submarine Race Watchers[edit]

Somewhere in this article there might be mention of a couple of Murray the K trade-mark bits - he had the Blast from the Past, the Submarine Race Watchers Club, the Ah-bey chant, and his own language adding an "izz" sound to the middle of words so that "Murray" became "Me-ih-zzurry." And he had his own way of saying "Isn't that a kick in the head"Revmoran 22:38, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just posted a vastly expanded page and did indeed include a trademarks and innovations section - before reading your note! Great minds think alike, I guess.Tvoz 08:07, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Catchphrases?[edit]

Can someone explain what it means that "the Record Review Board" and "his hats" appear on a list of "catchphrases"? 66.37.94.209 (talk) 05:16, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Remove the Jeff Rice reference?[edit]

Article currently reads:

Jeff Rice, writing in M/C Journal,[1] says that Tom Wolfe calls Murray "the original hysterical disk jockey"[2]

I think the Jeff Rice reference should be removed.

Tom Wolfe himself called Murray the K "the original hysterical disk jockey" in his widely reprinted essay "The Fifth Beatle".

Therefore there is no need to reference Jeff Rice (who does not have a Wikipedia page) when quoting a widely available work by Wolfe (who does).

I agree. Now if anyone has access to the book and can do a proper reference with page number...please do! Vernal Bogneris (talk) 00:05, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What does this even mean?[edit]

Paragraph 2 of section "Records, television, stage, and syndication" begins with (removing a parenthesized part):

"Meusurray" and it was, subsequently, turned into a single…

What is that trying to say? It's not a sentence.--Meve Stills (talk) 18:37, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored an earlier version of the sentence, which is at least understandable.--Meve Stills (talk) 18:43, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
