Lyrics

Anybody remember "Look Sharp"?

" Are We Really Singing Songs For Him?"

Many Littles are sending funny emails to the TK show
From the workplace they’re waiting
Is he gonna read mine?
He’s got no hair there!
Here comes the daily mailbag, don’t you know
He’s gonna read ‘em now for you folks
Won’t that be fine?

Are we really singing songs for him?
Is he gonna play my jingle on the air?
After reading one of Shad’s haiku
‘cause if my ears don't deceive me
There’s always something fun around here
...’round here
...always something fun around here

A parody of "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" by Joe Jackson

    Hey, I don't mind it one bit! It's an underrated song to begin with...my Kevin-inspired lyrics came to me while shoveling out my parents' driveway in Baltimore and listening to the podcast where he called exactly 9.7 inches in Mr. Tony's backyard. These are some very clever lyrics too, maybe we can get an all-Joe Jackson mailbag segment one of these days!

    Like I said, it's called an homage. Besides, we are all, by definition, stealing somebody else's work in this whole sordid enterprise.

    Brad and I know about repeats...Jackson :). And there's Hallelujah and I wanted to do Imagine and the Pretender yada yada yada :). We have good taste in music.

    Repeats? The entire Doors catalogue remains (almost) intact. I DEMAND STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK.

    As you get more people and more songs, you're gonna need a TKJingles probability rule, like the Birthday Problem where if you get 23 people in a room the odds are 50/50 two of them will have the same birthday. But we know that, didn't we, about the odds being 50/50...

    I think it's fine to have a few of the same tunes covered I'm just surprised by the proximity time-wise. Plus, there are only 350 songs on here but we already have a number of repeats. At least my Ryan Adams tunes are safe.

    Oh, man, I did not even see that, aargh. The song came up on shuffle earlier today and the line just came to me so I just did it. I did not mean to stomp on samangell2007's idea....
