Did ye ken John Peel, and the New York Dolls?
Did ye ken John Peel, and the Sex Pistols?
Did ye ken John Peel, and those Cambodian Hols?
With his sounds and his chatter in the evening

To his radio show I'd listen in bed
And new musical tastes to which it led,
Peel's "Hello!" no more, for now he is dead,
And music fans round the world, all now grieving

John Peel, legendary BBC radio presenter and disc jockey, dead at 65.
