Lyrics

"This Boy"

That toy’s not in the hall of fame
We all agree that’s for shame
But some toys that got in they are lame

Super Soakers aren't good for you
Jenga is just too new
Ninja Turtles are such a sorry crew

Oh, coloring books may seem sappy
That they’re not it is a cri – i – i -ime
Spinning tops made us happy
Since Will Shakespeare’s ti – i –i -ime

Tony what’s your favorite game?
Does Jeannie feel the same?
Gary, just asks Twister? again

    Thanks everybody for all the great feedback. I really thought this was too long and slow to make it, but I guess I was wrong in a good way! I also liked how Tony commented along with it. He really digs the whole toy conversation ;-)

    If we want to go on a hunger strike all we need to do is hang out at the Schvitz. That could kill any appetite, steak or no steak.

    indeed, steve. rack those jacks. but john's point about what is and isn't in is on point. the blanket, the stick, and the cardboard box IN, coloring books and tops NOT IN. really? REALLY? this is an outrage. one of us should go on a hunger strike.

    This is great, pairing it with the Beatles is the icing on the cake. I still can't believe what is and isn't in the hall of fame.

    Great in studio reaction. Tony punctuated each line of the song with negative commentary on the unworthy. Rack 'em.

    I still need to listen to Friday, cause I have missed this story - and yet this is still really funny. Great Gary line! I have heard rumors of more toy related jingles possibly in the pipeline. :)

    I wasn't sure it would be possible to turn the toy story into a compelling jingle but this nails it!
