Lyrics

My wife loves you
so i will have to
see some movie
that i don't want to
Oh oh oh
Ann Hornaday said
it’s at the West End

this show has got a hold on me
this show has got a hold on me
this show has got a hold on me
this show has got a hold on me

Tony, I don't know you
haven’t met you
but I can hear you
when I'm not near you
Oh, oh, oh
I say c’mon man
whaddaya we even doing out here man?

this show has got a hold on me
this show has got a hold on me
this show has got a hold on me
this show has got a hold on me

Tony, i hear you and all i want to do
is say la cheeserie,
la cheeserie,
la cheeserie,
la cheeserie

Parody of "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" by Smokey Robinson.

Although not mentioned by name, this was inspired by Brian Windhorst's story on how Ann Hornaday, through this show, affects his life. That was the start. Then expanded with the often quoted catchphrases that this show has embedded in our lives.

As soon as I heard the original song on Friday's Old Guy segment, I started the lyrics. That was about 15 minutes. Another 15 minutes the next day to finish the theme. Jerry somehow figured out what I was trying to do and came up with brilliant arrangement and performance.

Robert

    Killin it on the vocals! Is this also a subtle shot at Cillizza by taking his go to line and putting it in an a cappella song?
