Lyrics

I know, it's only been 5 days. Seems longer.....


Been some time since the show went dark
Tryin' to deal without the usual snark of Ton'.....
He's on another vacation
When you're rich and famous, and you're friends with Tommy
you can work when you want and get your mail at the Palm, but that's when....
when you're not on the greens
And so I cry sometimes when I hear Mike and Mike
and there's no show next down on Rockville Pike
And I, gotta wait, gotta wait for the Sports Chix
And so I get up in the morning and I go to my job
with no spring in my step, like a regular slob
and I scream from the top of my lungs
"When's the show back on.....????"
And they say Monday ay-ay-ay, Monday ay
a few more days, and the show's back on....
And now it's Monday ay ay ay, Monday yeah
Thank you God, Mister Tony's back on.....

    Great idea for this song. And way to go on those notes in the pre-chorus section in particular... I think even the lady that sings the original went falsetto there and you just crushed it! Also - watching the video for the original song now, and there is high potential for unintentional comedy already in the first 30 seconds.

    Ha! That's funny that you checked. In my head, I've certainly done it! Yes, while in the beginning, it was a considered a courtesy to ask "permission", there are too many jingles and jinglers nowadays. Which is great! Even I have now quit asking first :)

    Kj, to be quite honest I had to check and make sure you hadn't already done this, not that it would have stopped me, lol. I think it's funny when folks ask "permission" to do takes of songs that others have already covered. I love hearing all of the different spins! So, please.....

    Great idea and execution, Joe! Perfect song choice for this sentiment. This song has been on my "must do" list forever because it's so darn fun to sing (as I'm sure you know)! I've never quite found the right angle to do it but you sure did! Great job! P.S. I can't guarantee I still won't do this one - it's right up there with the Cranberries for me :)

    This is great Joe. Was just thinking the same thing. Been listening to old shows for a secret project but I need someone to bitch about Johnny Football and Priuses. Or is it Priui?

    Way to hit those notes Joe. You have more range that Stephan Curry. And totally my sediments - I don't like this extra break. I Love Andy Pollie but not in Mr. Tony's slot.
