Radio Game

Hey
One of the radio stations in Perth (where i live) is having a competition, where if you can come up with a brillant (and Original) idea for a new competiition, they'll use it and name it after you! (plus some other fancy goodies)
I dont suppose anyone wants to give me any suggestions? I'll give due credit, imagine that, you could have a radio program thousands of km's from where you live named after you. Neat o?
Begin!

The announcer names a weird word(s) (i.e. "toilet bowl cleaner", "air vent", "pimple bursting." People must create a song with those words as the title and the main focus of the song. They must have a verse and a chorus. The next day/week (whenever the competition is held), people call the songs in and sing them. The winner (as judged by either an online poll or the announcer) wins a T-shirt or something.

Dead Guy in an Envelope. It's a game they do on a radio station here (Classic Rock 93.7 the Arrow) which is basically like 20 Questions, where you have to guess who a dead person is (usually an entertainer) by calling in and asking questions. If they don't do it there, you're set.

HAHAHAH dead guy in the envelope? Our local radio station's doing that game every morning, except they dont give you clues. People just have to keep guessing dead people, and every day that its a wrong guess, they empty their pocket change into the money pool... its up to 1070 bucks or something haha..... ive been trying to get on the radio each morning but no success

Since it's Australia...How about you play a game called 'Arggg...' since you have so many poisonous biting things in your desert like country. You could merge it with the above 'Dead man in an Envelope, having to also figure out which unpleasant Australian animal killed the victim.
...
A radio station near me played a game of what they called 'Chinese Whispers', except that it was really called that because the prize was a trip to Shanghai.
Essentially all three of the radio presenters say something at once and people call in with their guesses of what was said.
It may sound easy, but it's actually near impossible. Typically the closest one to the microphone will overpower the other two, and even with audio editing software it is pretty much impossible to deinterlace 3 peoples voices out of 2 channel audio
It was horrible and I don't recommend it.
.....
Another one I've heard is not child safe, essentially guess the pron mag...but it was funny.

One they do on the sports show here is they ask you very easy, obvious questions (Are you a boy? Were you born in this city?) and you have to answer them within a second or two, but you can't use yes or no or any form of yes or no.
Example:
Them: Were you born in the city?
You: People say that
Them: Do you have pets?
You: I don't take care of anyone but myself.
Now ussually the wuestions are better but the ones they ask arn't always appropriate for PPT.

The Yes/No game! 
Our local station (B 93.7) plays it every weekday during the drive home. Usually, Chase (the DJ who does it) imitates someone or tries to be something (he posed at Lance Bass one time. It was hilarious!), and he asks mainly yes/no questions. You cannot say yes, no, yeah, nah, or know (because it's "no" 
), and it goes on until someone can last a certain amount of time and they win. Usually, they win passes to a movie.

Speaking of Lance Bass, you know he came out of the closet the other day? I wasn't surprised at all.
Another funny thing they do on our local radio stations is Birthday Scams. Basically someone will call them with some damning information about someone, and on their birthday, they'll play a horrible telephone prank that usually ends with the victim being forced to chose between paying a large amount of money or going on a date with the DJ.

Three Dumb Ones
DJ says "10th caller gets to play three dumb ones" (or whatever number you want) and the DJ asks three dumb questions and it doesn't matter if the answers are right, the caller gets whatever they are giving away. Its pretty funny to see what questions the DJs come up with

Aren't the games supposed to be new and original, ie, not copied from other radio stations / pre-existing?

But is it plagiarism if it's a different country? :OOOO

A short clip of a song is played and the caller needs to guess what song it is. The catch? The clip is played backwards.

The announcers carry on a 5 line conversation. The catch is that each line is a line from a song. The first caller to correctly identify all 5 songs and their respective artists wins!

I think we all know its only plagiarism if you're caught.

That's a good idea! To make it more difficult, it has to pop up in the middle of a normal conversation so you have to be listening hard to get it.
