That really sucks losing Bob Saget. I pretty much grew up watching him on Full House, AFHV, the voice narrator in How I Met Your Mother and Fuller House. I wonder how he passed away, hopefully no drugs were involved.

One of my friends who is a DJ explained why there were two different versions of Indiana Wants Me. The original version opened with the sound of a siren. Drivers who heard it would think it was real and they'd pull over to the side of the road. Police started fearing accidents could happen. After they complained to the radio stations, word got back to the Rare Earth label. The song was reissued without the siren.
Gotta admit, I prefer my driving tunes to not have a siren.
