Lyrics

2 things: 1.) Jerry mentions in his song Annandale that he was a bit uncomfortable making the song about him, and I feel the same way here, but it just seemed to work better if I used my own name. 2.) I'm using my own name AND trying to impersonate Levon Helm which makes no sense at all. again, it just seemed to work better like that. this one was triggered by Joe Farrell's email yesterday and Cillizza hacking away. I'm pretty sure we don't have a jingle specifically addressing Larry almost dying, so here ya go.



Robert Berg is the name
and I download in Pittsburgh, PA
it's been about 16 years
that I've been listening to TK
my favorite bits include the Heads draft
the Snackdown and the Bea Arthur crack
but January 19th of this year
is a show that I hold oh so dear

the time Larry King almost died on air
he was really coughin'
it sounded like a giant ball of hair
was strangling his uvula
he went *coughing sounds*

Larry caught his breath and kept babbling on
his talking compulsion's insane
but in just a few minutes time
we were back with the hacking refrain
then he started raving 'bout his son Chance
Sheehan and Cillizza looked askance
is this guy loopy on Sudafed?
"Why'd you name a kid Chance?" was the question that went unsaid

the time Larry King almost died on air
it was pretty repulsive
his bronchial tubes were in disrepair
but he just wouldn't stop talkin'
he went *more coughing sounds*
