Lyrics

Tony gripes a lot....that is all... :-)

-------------

Who can field a panel
And “praise” it like a shrew?
Cover it enough with somewhat
Empty platitudes
Oh Kornheiser
The Kornheiser can
The Kornheiser can cause he
Mixes it with hate
And makes us laugh along too

Who can take a question
When he doesn’t have a clue?
He tries to hide pretension
But you know it shines right through
The Kornheiser
Oh the Kornheiser can
The Kornheiser can cause he
Mixes it with spite
And then he feels so good.

The Kornheiser makes
Every person take
A notice of his situation
He talks about expired fishes
And doesn’t even do the dishes

Oh, who can schmooze tomorrow,
And ask for fish for free?
He hates all these millennials
Well, hey, I guess that’s me!
The Kornheiser
The Kornheiser can
The Kornheiser can cause he
Mixes it with bottles
Of Johnny Walker Blue.

    I hate that this song is so cheery I can't stop singing it. Every cover is so fun. And Jason, it's so fun to combine those two things, adds an extra layer I love doing.

    Very good! I love that there are 3 parodies of this one. Can there really be enough of Candy Man? Nah. Great lyrics, great performance!

    Man, so good... I think we both have a predisposition to taking snarky lyrics and putting them to a happy or overly serious sounding song. You can have my guest pass to join Gen X anytime if you like ... you'd fit right in. :)

    That was a LONG time ago. Elliott and Kj also did THE RANDY MAN. All three have their merits.

    Dangit, I didn't realize you had already done this one! I checked THE candy man instead of candy man! I thought I had remembered one ;-)
