Lyrics

New and Improved! Now with less irritating distortion!

Will Podcasting Kill The Radio Star?

Two dozen years he has been on my radio
Wherever Tony goes the Littles will follow
But how a podcast works he surely doesn't know
Oh-a-oh

There on the TV he'll still be a talking head
But daily diatribes will come by Interweb
And one thing is for sure Kip Shmeeman is still dead
Oh-a-oh
Show’s going digital
Oh a oh
He’ll still be pitiful

Will podcasting kill the radio star?
Will podcasting kill the radio star?
Take two months off before your start
Oh, a, a, a, oh

No station manager on whom to lay the blame
He'll surely rant and whine and still he'll feel no shame
Cause this show stinks and that will always stay the same

Honestly
What the @#$^ we doing?
Honestly
Will he still bleep this?

Will podcasting kill the radio star?
Will podcasting kill the radio star?

On my phone and still sub par
The Browse About can't be too far
Oh-a-aho oh
Oh-a-aho oh

    Very nice job of emulating the original sound of this song. I really like the last two lines... "still sub par" kills me too Kj.

    Thanks gang. I just re-worked this a little to take the edge off the distortion. [But not off the jokes!]
