For many years, the Dr. Dan theme was regularly used as a jingle for the Triple M radio network.

such was the popularity of the jingle, listeners wanted to know if it would be released as a single.

the station obliged and was released as a single (both as a 45 RPM single and a CD single.  for some reason I never bought the CD Single, but ended up buying the 45)

If memory serves me correctly, the proceeds for this single went to charity.
