Lyrics

I''m not sure who else made a mental note of this momentary lapse of pop culture proficiency. But, I did.

Oh Tony don’t you feel a bit abashed right now
Don’t you wonder how you couldn’t get it done
So don’t even think “Eat it McManus”
It must feel pretty weird to struggle with a tune
When you’ll name every song before 1952
Oh we never thought we’d hear you fall flat on your face
I said oh no oh no no no no no

The Waiting is the name of this song
Seems like you were in a fog
It’s 35 years old, so how’d you get it wrong?
The Waiting is the name of this song

Like I said, The Waiting is the name of this song by TP & the Heartbreakers

    This is so great. I was also surprised when he didn't know the song - but I never would have come up with this idea... straightforward and brilliant.
