Take an existing piece of mucis and and change the instrumentation.

Now that we have a #ds106 radio up and running creating a 15 to 30 second bumper for the station. What is a bumper? It is a short recording that identifies the radio station with signature music or an expression that makes sure the listeners know what they are tuned into (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumper_(broadcasting)). So for ds106 it should certainly include "DS106 Radio" and some sort of message about the station with voice over music.

Someone was kind enough to make a "David Lee Roth - Running with the Devil Isolated Vocal Track" (You can download it with right-click, Save Linked Content As. It may be slightly different depending on your OS & browser) We can't let that effort go to waste. Mix Diamond Dave's vocalizations with another audio track - music, interview, conversation, whatever - to make something new and amusing. There are a couple remixes of it out there already. Someone even made a soundboard out of it. What can you do with it? Do Dave proud.
