When I went for my walk this morning I was listening to our Classic Hits station KOOL 96.1 on my Walkman. At 9:19 they began playing "American Pie" by Don McLean. Four mins later the Voice-Tracked DJ back sold the song and then the next song began. I thought that it was strange 4 mins were missing from the song. When I got back home I went on Wikipedia and found out there is a version of American Pie that is 4 mins and 11 seconds long called "American Pie Part 1". I have never heard the 4 Min and 11 second version on the radio before. Every station I've heard it on plays the full 8 min and 33 second version including stations such as the now-defunct 102.9 The Big D and I-Heart's Variety Hits Station 105.9 The River.
