Lyrics

As we were doing our thing on Saturday, I was wondering what the people in Kilroy's were actually thinking was going on in the room next door. With all of us singing odes to some strange, old man, they may have thought we were some sort of strange cult ;-).

----------

What’s this brouhaha?
Wasn’t this supposed to be a sports bar?
Here I am, in the dining room
How the heck could I have missed the meeting on the porch?
In comes this “deity”
Even though I have absolutely no
Idea at all
What is being sung despite the projector
He’s an orange man
The radio star who rarely faced an audience

What’s this ballyhoo?
After all
This is my big night on the town
My anniversary to this woman. I’m proud
I assumed that I wouldn’t hear a song
So I was wrong
I still don’t understand
All the cult behavior and the karaoke
I guess I appreciate
The role this sports bar played
The speech the old man made
And after the key lime pie
And after the check is due
I sit confused
And ask myself
What’s this commotion?

    I shudder with trepidous glee at the thought of TK cosplay. Nothing would make Kornheiser disavow the entire jingle phenomenon like seeing show-oriented cosplay with his own eyes.

    Definitely - that's what I missed out on too. Another year will also give me more time to work on my TK cosplay outfit.

    Agreed! I met lots of people, but didn't chat nearly enough! That just means we need to do another.

    This is so great, John! It was great to finally meet you last week. I only wish we had more time to chat. That goes for Jason and Jerry too. The night just flew by!
