Lyrics

So, I got to thinking, what if there was a backlash to the email backlash? ...and it came from Tony! What might that sound like? Not exactly a Putin-led crackdown, but still....

Read Me ["Use Me"]

The Littles feel it's their appointed duty
They all try to tell Tony
"All you got to do is read me!”
But his answer, yeah to all this email stuff
He used to write the news
And he’ll read any note that he choose
You just keep on writin’ in
Until you just shut up
Until you just shut up

The Jinglers they’re singin’ songs about some crap email
Oh, they don’t like it when he reads ‘bout who’s tall or who eats snails
I'm sure they mean well
Yeah, but when each show is through
Tone says hey hey Littles, this is nothin’ new
I’m following my comic muse
You just keep on writin’ in
Until you just shut up
Until you just shut up

Sometimes, it's true
The humor does elude me
I talk ‘bout Tone in a crowd of people
And then they all act real rude to me
But, oh, Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony
It’s the mailbag, I can't get enough
We want to spread the news
Who cares if the Littles’ feelings are bruised?
Tone, you just keep on yodelin’
We know you won’t shut up
We know you won’t shut up

Talkin' 'bout you dronin’ on
About the most meaningless things you do
It ain't surprising that your show’s still on
'Cause we all still listen in to hear the things you do
…even “That Thing You Do!”

A parody of "Use Me" by Bill Withers...and it's been a while, but I went FULL LENGTH!
