Former Take 40 Australia host Barry Bissell has been working with Andy Wells to create a new program of classic hits.
Barry Bissell’s Classics is a list of just over 100 great songs from the 70s to 2000s with Barry providing charting info and the stories behind the hits.
Stations can pick and choose those that suit the station’s target audience and combine them with station favourites to program your own weekly show – all hosted by Barry Bissell.
The program starts in March.

I have visited the site and found the two samples from the "Twisted Tunes" section (at the bottom of the page) to be quite amusing.
The first tune was the "Baby Shark" song with accordion and a 2/4 beat. The original song with over 4 billion downloads is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqZsoesa55w .
The second tune "Khe San" would even be more twisted if it had bass and a bossa nova rhythm. It would sound similar to elevator music played on 2CH during the beautiful music/good music format.
Finally "twisted tunes" segment reminds me of the segment on the ABC's "Spicks and Specks" where for example a ukulele band or Mariachi band would play contemporary music.
Thank you
