Where can I find the radio clip from Groundhog Day?

February 13, 2009 8:16 PM

You know that morning radio broadcast Bill Murray wakes up to in Groundhog day every morning?

Where can I find a decent quality audio version of that? Is it a real clip or was it made for the movie? Would using it in an art project be considered fair use?

Thanks..! Oh, and here it is:

First D.J.: Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today.
Second D.J.: It's coooold out there every day. What is this, Miami Beach?
First D.J.: Not hardly. And you know, you can expect hazardous travel later today with that, you know, that, uh, that blizzard thing.
Second D.J.: [mockingly] That blizzard - thing. That blizzard - thing. Oh, well, here's the report! The National Weather Service is calling for a "big blizzard thing!"
First D.J.: Yessss, they are. But you know, there's another reason why today is especially exciting.
Second D.J.: Especially cold!
First D.J.: Especially cold, okay, but the big question on everybody's lips...
Second D.J.: - On their chapped lips...
First D.J.: - On their chapped lips, right: Do ya think Phil is gonna come out and see his shadow?
Second D.J.: Punxsutawney Phil!
First D.J.: Thats right, woodchuck-chuckers - it's
[in unison]
First D.J.: GROUNDHOG DAY!
Second D.J.: GROUNDHOG DAY!

On his website, Richard Henzel writes that the "little poem" he and Rob Riley recited was written by screenwriter Danny Rubin. (Scroll to the bottom for Henzel's solo version.)

It depends. There's no way that that is enough information to decide. Consider this fair use guide.

If you have Netflix you can watch it on the Instant Play and then capture the audio using one of the apps designed to do this like Audio Hijack for Mac or Total Recorder for PC. (I'm sure there are other apps that will do the same thing)

Just a warning that my laptop turned up with the Vundo virus within a day of each of the two times I used that site. Can't say for sure that it was the cause, but do be careful if you go that route.

If your computer has a DVD player, you can use Audacity to record the audio stream.
