Lyrics

HUGE thanks to Jason for helping me put this one together (doing all the guitar, drums, background vocals, and mixing!) I was listening to the Jason Mraz version of this song (which, in my opinion, is better than the Dylan one) and thought it would be fun to make all of Tony's guests a particular "animal." Probably too long for air, but thought everyone would enjoy it.

Tony’s guests are all so affable
Since the beginning, since the beginning
Tony’s guests are all so affable
When they go on Tony’s show

He’s got a guest that likes to scowl
Is quintessential, but don’t know how
Tony loves his work and there ain’t no lyin’
Ah, yeah it must be Bob Ryan

Then there’s the guy he knows so well
He’s never surprised, as he loves to tell
His rants on the NFL go on and on
You all know him as Mike Wilbon

Tony’s guests are all so affable
Since the beginning, since the beginning
Some like eatin’ avocados
And tell us about it on Tony’s show

You hear him with his Creole drawl
Makin’ lousy picks that make the betters bawl
Well he can’t seem to beat ol’ Reginald, but still
We all love us some James Carville

On Fridays we all get to hear
About coming of age movies she holds so dear
And Tony might go if it’s not out of the way
Well it must be Ann Hornaday

Tony’s guests are all so affable
Since the beginning, since the beginning
Intergalactic news junkies from Huff Po
And they go on Tony’s show

When Tony wants the ratings to dip
He calls up this guy to give him some tips
But he’s never a regular, though he likes his work
We’re talkin’ about Neil Greenberg

And the last guest is smooth as glass
She makes her money shaking her…rear
Sounds like she’s calling from her pickup truck…
Aaaaaa
