The !!!! Beat
The !!!! Beat is an American television program which aired in syndication for 26 episodes in 1966. It was hosted by the Nashville, Tennessee based disc jockey Bill "Hoss" Allen, and featured a house band led by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. The show was recorded in color at WFAA, the ABC affiliate in Dallas, which had color facilities, and recorded and syndicated episodes of the program. At that time, none of the Nashville stations had color capability.
Guests included: Otis Redding, Little Milton, Esther Phillips, Joe Tex, Etta James, Lattimore Brown, Roscoe Shelton, Carla Thomas, Freddie King, Barbara Lynn, Johnny Taylor, The Radiants, Louis Jordan, The Mighty Hannibal, Clarence 'Frogman' Henry, Robert Parker, Joe Simon, Mitty Collier, Jamo Thomas, Z. Z. Hill, Lou Rawls, Bobby Hebb, Willie Mitchell, Don Bryant, The Ovations, The Bar-Kays, Percy Sledge, Garnet Mimms, and Sam & Dave all appeared. Some of the artists would also chart well into the 1970s.
DVD release
In 2005, Bear Family Records released all 26 episodes of the show on Region 1 DVD in the United States.
CFBT-FM
CFBT-FM is a Canadian contemporary hit radio (CHR) radio station in the Greater Vancouver region of British Columbia. It broadcasts at 94.5 MHz on the FM band with an effective radiated power of 90,000 Watts from a transmitter on Mount Seymour in the District of North Vancouver. Owned by Bell Media, with studios located at Robson and Burrard in Vancouver, the station broadcasts a contemporary hit radio format branded as 94.5 Virgin Radio. The station's main competitors are CKKS-FM and CKZZ-FM.
History
The 94.5 FM frequency was originally assigned by a low-power temporary FM radio station to provide information on traffic conditions between Vancouver and Coquitlam, which received approval in 1998.
The CRTC began the application process for a new Vancouver FM station in the fall of 2000. There were eleven prospective applicants, reflecting the fact that the 94.5 MHz frequency was the last remaining high-power FM slot in the Vancouver market. On June 5, 2001, Focus Communications was granted a licence to operate an Urban format. The station's call letters, CFBT-FM, were assigned in November of the same year, and an official launch date was set for March 4, 2002 as the second urban station in Canada. Test transmissions began in mid-February 2002. The station adopted a "soft start" launch wherein announcers and programming were gradually introduced over a period of several weeks. By mid-2003, the station changed to more of a rhythmic top 40 format.

The Beat
by: Damn Seagullsthey call me crazy - i don't think it's true
it's all so clear to me when i'm with you
i think that i'm some kinda rebel
but what am i fighting for?
the other day i tried to talk to god
"i'm not sure i believe in tou
but whaddaya got for me, lord?"
he said "boy, just play that damn guitar
i know it makes you feel alive
think of these days
dontcha wanna make 'em count
'cause you feel just how they fly"
i break all the chains that are holdin' me down
look at the horizon that's spinnin' around
am i too young to settle down?
i always fall for those country girls
but i need the pulse of the city
and i think to myself.
i can't live without the beat
oh baby baby
oh baby please
lemme in i'm out in the cold
and i'm on me knees
goddamn i'm so lonely
and i haven't found the cure
late last night
you came knockin' on my door
asking for some sugar in your tea
but i knew it wasn't all
oh now i'm back in the cell of love again
and think of these days
dontcha wanna make 'em count
'cause you know they're about to end
hey hey hey
-please open up my chains
-i promise to change my ways
-this feeling inside of me
-is haunting me over an' over again
i break all the chains that are holdin' me down
look at the horizon that's spinnin' around
