Lyrics

Here's one that honors all of the elements of the car break-in story - true crime drama, high tech wizardry, and science lessons for English majors!

"Jackson Cage"

Thieves are prowling Chevy Chase DC streets
They've got a gizmo, talks to cars, go beep-beep
They trashed his Caddy, but then they just drove away
‘Cause all they found were Rascals CDs to play
And no one listens to CDs anymore
So he sent Michael to the Internet store
He's got that Prime, pays no shipping fees
Fighting science with science, now he keeps his keys

In a Faraday Cage
Keys in a Faraday Cage
You can try with all your might
You'll probably steal his airbags tonight
‘Cause he fell for the scam and dropped thirty bucks on a thing called a Faraday Cage

    I've heard it now, and TK did indeed set it up. First, any airtime/podtime is good. Second, even though I did it a month ago, I was minding the 60 mark, 'cause this is barely under. But, still, the lag is pretty big here, and I wrote and submitted it (twice, with old-think) with the hopes it'd be on a Liz Clarke show. Now, it was weird that Jeanne actually has one of these key fob protector things, but I can't believe that was a reason to resurrect this one. Anyway, as Marty DeBerghi says, enough of my yakking....

    I haven't heard today's show yet but given the lag from story to airtime, I hope they teed this one up. Maybe Nigel can take a cue from the Prodcast & append brief clips to these lag jingles to provide some context!

    "Michael to the Internet store" killed me... I almost wrote in faux condescendingly with an elaborate description of a Faraday Cage, but this is much better and funnier than that would have been.
