Does anybody remember this comedy routine from the '70s that used to get played on WNEW-FM in NY? It was about some guys producing a festival that would feature "whaling music, nothing but whaling music." I have a vague memory of one of the voices also saying "a cappella, a capella" and "check please". I've tried to find this on and off over the years on the web and keep coming up empty. Thanks!

Dang it, this is ringing a bell, but I can't figure it out. Was it National Lampoon? Credibility Gap? Wasn't there something about them predicting whaling music would be the next big thing? Was there an actual whaling song?

Perhaps The Congress Of Wonders? I don't think it's Lampoon or Firesign Theatre or I would have stumbled across it by now.
