Lyrics

IT’S TIME FOR MAILBAG
NOBODY PAYS FOR RETAIL SO WHY SHOULD YOU?
BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
BECAUSE WOULDN’T “YOU" BE A PART OF THE “NOBODY” GROUP?
YOU WANT TO SCREAM
AFTER HEARING FIFTEEN MINUTES OF ADVERTISEMENTS
BUT THE SHOW IS FREE
AND YOU WONDER IF IT’S WORTH THE TRADE
IT’S HARD TO SAY

‘CAUSE THIS IS SHILLER, SHILLER TIME
SEVEN DAILY READS THAT EVERYONE HAS MEMORIZED
YOU KNOW IT’S SHILLER, SHILLER TIME
AND SOMEONE’S GOTTA PAY SO TK CAN BLOVIATE

DARKNESS FALLS ACROSS THE LAND
MY WINDOW NATION WINDOWS KEEP THE COOL AIR AT HAND
IN THE KITCHEN STANDING OVER THE SINK
BECAUSE IT’S WHERE I EAT COFFEE ICE CREAM
CALL BETHESDA FLORIST TO PLEASE YOUR SPOUSE
AND, ACTUALLY, THAT ONE IS ON THE HOUSE
BUT SHERRIE’S BERRIES MAKE A DELIGHTFUL TREAT
EVERY MAY JUST RINSE AND REPEAT

NIGEL’S FACE FEELS LIKE A BABY’S BEHIND
SINCE HARRY’S RAZORS HAVE BEEN CONSIGNED
AND HE COULD BE GETTING LUCKY, YET
HE SITS AND WATCHES HIS FAN DUEL LINEUP INSTEAD
EATING BAGEL CITY REMNANTS FROM BREAKFAST TIME
WONDERING IF HE SHOULD START SHELBY MILLER
READING TEXTS ABOUT CILLIZZA FROM MR TONY
A PORTRAIT OF THE SOCIAL LIFE OF THE SHILLER

    Rob - your razor experience presents an opportunity to record a "Let It Bleed" parody...

    as an aside, i recently patronized Harry's razors and promptly sliced open my face. i'm not discounting operator error, but never even came close to that with gillette. 5 blades > 4, even if they ARE German, whatever that means.

    That overlapping montage or advertising/show phrases is like an Altman movie. Fantastic idea and execution.

    Michael! Another underparodied artist on this site. Way to go! And the Vincent Price is well, priceless.

    That read... so funny and well done. I gotta admit I started laughing even before hitting play, in anticipation of you doing the Vincent Price part. Cha-ching.
