Lyrics

Thanks to KJ for the great vocal, I love how she cuts loose on this cheesy tune from 1977

List’ning to Tony, and here comes the mailbag
It starts with a jingle, a bald orange rhyme
Then comes the mail, it’s smart and it’s funny
Now it’s the close, we’ve run out of time
If you’re out on your bike
If you’re out at night, please do wear white
And stay to the right and out of the rain, tonight
Off radio, just download the podcast
A Google machine, for listening on
Another chance to say “Hey, I had that”
Never again surprising Wilbon
If you’re out on your bike
If you’re out at night, please do wear white
And stay to the right and out of the rain, tonight
If you’re out on your bike
If you’re out at night, please do wear white
And stay to the right and out of the rain, tonight
It feels so wrong
Having chicken again tonight
So do…..wear white on your bike

A parody of “You Light Up My Life” by Joe Brooks, as performed by Debby Boone

    This has to be a contender for top jingle of 2016

    Kilt it! Both of you. This re-write captures everything egregiously schmaltzy from the original, and then KJ brings it all together, so sincere in her send-up while sounding just great. So good at being "so bad it's good" Brava/o you two!
