This March
The Name Game
Ever noticed how some of the greatest classic hits are named after people? This March, Coast FM is diving into The Name Game—a whole month dedicated to legendary songs with a name in the title!
From heartbreak anthems to singalong classics, these tracks are more than just music; they tell stories, capture moments, and make us wonder—Who was Jolene, really? And did you know that Hey Jude was originally written as Hey Jules, a song Paul McCartney penned to comfort John Lennon's son?
Join the Classic Hits team every weekday from 6am to 6pm as we roll out iconic name-dropped tunes all March long. Maybe you'll hear your own name—or one that brings back memories!
The Name Game – All March, Only on Coast FM!.
