Lyrics

People think that Uber’s great
A black car rolls up at your gate
Kids get texts from their old man
Who’s so thrilled he’s in a van

Well dressed driver smiles wide
He calls to say that he’s arrived

Free breath mints and bottled juice
Big leather seat for your caboose
But your card bill shows the score
Twenty blocks for $64 (bucks)

Don’t people see that you pay more?
Isn’t that what a taxi’s for?

    it's amazing how song lyrics can say things so succinctly, and the line "who's so thrilled he's in a van" just nails the whole story. bullseye, gents!

    Hampton and John! With that combo, you've always got a winner. Great Mervis read too. John, I was JUST telling Mandy last weekend that I couldn't believe there hasn't been a Chicago song yet. And here you are! I don't think it will be the only one... Anita from Philly's got a good ring to it too.

    Did he get a little inebriated and drop your head onto a ceramic pot?

    So I met George Michael when he was a DJ at WFIL back in the day. Hey - I wasn't always Anita from Alaska.

    I'm always glad when Hampton reaches out to collaborate on a track. Like this they are always funny and smart - the best combo there is. I can't believe that at 1666+ jingles, this is the FIRST featuring a Chicago tune.

    So, George Michael got his start as a top-40 deejay at WFIL in Philadelphia, and then by '74 was at WABC in New York. His coverage of the blackouts may have allowed TV to take him seriously, but we lost something when he was no longer around to yell, "Chi-CAGOOOOO!"
