Lyrics

This is the story of the day I visited the show, in November 2015.......


Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah
Yeah
I was down at the Rockville studio, starin' at this bald orange man
Mr. Ton' strikes up a conversation, with the Inter-Galactic Fineman
you know he yodels on while Nigel runs, the board
the job is so technical
now there's a problem with the schedule
is Sally Jenkins available?
Well they start to tape at 8 in the morning
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
yeah
we're not live
yeah
What up, SG3?
so glad to be here with you and Jeannie
but Nige can't get Sally on the phone
Tony's angry
Can his producer do anything?
Oh my, he's looking right at me, I believe.....yeah!
Mr. Ton' asks me, "Hey Joe please pick up a microphone"
because I think I'm gonna ask you some questions
about jingles, and how you people do all these things
Nigel plays my new song, it's comin' through in stereo...
Well everybody knows that
this show really stinks!

    Great job, Joe. Great song choice too. I second the more Counting Crows sentiment. I'm currently working on Omaha for #18.

    i can't believe nobody came up with the idea for this song until now. it seems so obvious, but great ideas often do. my favorite part is him being angry. it's so ridiculous, but if he wasn't angry a lot i don't know if we would listen.

    Killin' it right from the intro Joe... absolutely great. More from this mid 90s style/era would be cool, cause you got it down.
