Lyrics

OK, this was going to be a throwaway jingle, but it seems to have grown to full length and filled the vacuum normally busy with turnaround jingles (which is to say, it took an inordinate amount of time.) Thanks to KJ, Brad and Jason for feedback along the way. I may cut it down (remove one verse and chorus) and submit it when the show comes back. Even without the strictures of radio format and time, I don't see us getting 3 minute jingles on the show...

"My House"

Hey, where the bagels at, Pops?
C’mon, let’s do this, turn it up

Now we’re out on our own, let the podcast flow
‘Cause we done this before, it’s the same damn show
Gonna rant, gonna rave, tell you where I’ve been
Still a wretch, gonna kvetch and my skin is thin

You know I’m always talkin’
I’m not above beggin’
Let me give you a quiz
Do you know who the star is, is?

This is my podcast
I am in control now
We don’t need ra-di-o
Can’t you figure out
How to download my podcast?
Gonna own my content
For whatever that’s worth
Guess we gonna find out

This is my podcast
How long will it last?

Morning comes and I know what I wanna say
Woke at four taking notes, not a thing has changed
Tune in SportsCenter now, get the scores all straight
Didn’t watch ‘em last night cause they’re on too late

All the guests are the same
And you know ‘em by name
Michael tweetin’ his biz
But I don’t know what that is, is

Yeah its a podcast
I am in control now
We don’t need no AM
We could use some sponsors
Welcome to my podcast
We got Alan Bubes
To tell us how to do this
When do we get paid?

This is my podcast
How long will it last?

Welcome to my podcastin’ crib, new spot, same crap
Got the big house, small house, Chessie rulin’ out back
Excuse me if no radio’s making you sad
Left Marconi behind so I can run with the cash
Home run, slam dunk, touchdown pass
Nominally a sports show but don’t hold me to that
Another shot at Raju, yeah that guy’s an ass
My podcast, we got class

This is my podcast
I am in control now
My revenue’s way down
Just what have I done?
Shifting to a podcast
How’s this gonna work out?
How long before I ask
“Will you take me back?”

    Thanks, everyone, for all the great "jingle love" on this one. It's the opposite of a turn around jingle. Was the song of my summer, for sure. Thanks all!

    Strong opening to the Podcast. The gauntlet of challenge has been thrown down. Will our songs be as good as John's?

    Do what I did Rob - listen while standing in another room. Your music won't sound any better there but you'll be closer to the fridge.
