Lyrics

This is dedicated to all the TK Jinglers who've become obsessed with producing parody songs and hope one day to be rewarded with TK Show air time. Especially Jerry Negrelli for making this website happen...

Airwaves of Tony's Show

Spoken: Ha ha ha, I don’t believe it. I don’t know about you guys,
but I’d keep the Sales Weasels away from the Bagel City.
I ain’t no Jerry Negrelli but tell ‘em who am I Steve.

I’m a musical Little I got songs I’ve scribbled
I’m unknown anywhere I go (that sounds like me)
I sing about Tony and I sing about minutia
That happens on the show
I send all the kinda candy as my modus operandi
But the thrill I’ve never known
Is the thrill that’ll tingle when I get my jingle
On the airwaves of Tony’s show (Uh huh)

(Tony’s show) Submitted one song after another
(Show) Tried to hide this hobby from my mother (Yeah)
(Show) Wanna hear my quavering voice
On the airwaves of Tony’s show (Nigel, That’s a very, very good idea)

They got a freaky trivia quizzer name-a Chris Cillizza
Who’ll ask any question he choose (Uh huh)
They got poor old Kevin Sheehan
Doing a terrible job on the news (SportsChix!)
Now I’m just trying to blow your minds
But your minds won’t really be blown
Till you hear my ditty cause they think it’s kinda witty
On the airwaves of Tony’s show

(Tony’s show) Submitted one song after another
(Show) Gonna download the podcast for my brother (Yeah)
(Show) Wanna hear my quavering voice
On the airwaves of Tony’s show

Spoken: Fister? I hardly even…
Rock-n-roll!
(Solo)
Reginald, lead guitar.

I got a lot of TK Jinglers
Who’ll listen to the songs I write
And I’ll order from Window Nation
If that’ll get me to the front of the line (Good idea)
I got all these tunes going through my mind
Just to try and entertain Satchmo
I submit my songs to Nigel and I know they’d go viral
On the airwaves of Tony’s show

(Tony’s show) Submitted one song after another
(Show) Gonna download the podcast for my brother (Yeah)
(Show) Wanna hear my quavering voice
On the airwaves of Tony’s show
Airwaves of Tony’s
(Show) Submitted one song after another
(Show) Tried to hide this hobby from my mother
(Show) Wanna hear my quavering voice
On the airwaves of Tony’s show

Spoken: I’m not sure why I haven’t been on the show yet.
I mean I’ll be smilin’ on News Channel 8. It’s gonna be beautiful.

    "I;m unknown anywhere I go'!? Don't you know who I am!!!? Fortunately, my mother still hasn't found out. QUITE amusing! Hope you get your quavering voice on the airwaves soon!

    Cool, I'm really diggin all the different vocal/spoken parts. It's hard to keep my attention for 3 minutes, and this certainly did it.
