Lyrics

I . . . I heard it on Thursday
So I can write my tune by Thursday evening
Bocce balls and boiled eggs jingle fodder, so much fun
I don’t really have a job I’ll write one! (write one)

I heard you mention fruit (and that was orange, too)
And I can cut that track as soon as Old Guy!!!!
Kind Bars, toasters, columnettes, all of that is just old hat
But you might hear your jingle played if you repeat what he’s just said!

Please turn that right round, Littles
Right round in your jingles Little
Right round round round

Please turn that right round, Littles
Right round in your jingles Little
Right round round round


I have done a few of the "turn-around" tunes, and I have certainly done my share of cheesy tunes, including a few cheese-tastic ones. But this one is simply awful. If anyone is offended - - well, isn't that the point?!

Dead or Alive first performed "You Spin Me 'Round (Like a Record)"

    Bravo. I just hope you have your hair done up like the guy in Dead or Alive did in 1985 so I can see it on News Channel 8.

    Call me if you can't find a good track. 1-877-Last-Resort. Or just email me... that prob works better. I want to enable as much 80s as I can.

    is Brad really a professor or do you just call him that because of his diction?

    The only way I'd be offended by this is if they don't play it on the show. Absolutely brilliant. This is perfect as a commentary on Tony's current love of fast turnaround. I am so much more into these mid 80s songs as jingles than I ever was as actual songs growing up.
