ESCAPE (From Mike Wilbon)

I was tired of Mike Wilbon?Watched PTI for too long
And while I still loved that Tony
To me Mike always seemed wrong
So bored I started weeping
The show’s appeal was just dead
But then I talked to my brother
Could not believe what he said

TK’s got his own podcast
If you don’t mind a delay
He complains all the damn time
Some people think it’s okay
Talks eating ice cream at midnight
Over his kitchen sink
Could be the new show you’ve looked for
Watch on News Channel 8

I didn’t think about Mike Wilbon
I know that sounds kind of mean
But my main man Mike Wilbon
Had fallen into that no surprise routine
I downloaded the podcast
Six days old, that seemed sad
He’ll have you think he’s a/some poet
I held out judgment on that

I listened to TK’s podcast
And I’ve dealt with the delay
I tire of his complaining
So far the show’s just okay
Oh what the hell am I saying now?
Have to admit this show stinks
Who thought he needed Mike Wilbon?
Not at all what you’d think

I still listened with low hope
Elton John started to play
I knew his voice in an instant
Void of surprise, zero trace
It was my main man Mike Wilbon
And I said, aw its you.
Then I called up my brother
And I said, I never knew


That Wilbon’s on TK’s podcast
I guess this show is okay
The other guest aren’t slumpin’
I like that Anne Hornaday
Love it when Gary hates on Kevin
And Nigel talks to that ape
I want more Chris Scilliza
David Aldridge is great

Yeah Wilbons on TK’s podcast
I guess this show is okay
You’ve got Tori and Liz Clarke
Eat it McManus all day
Get all my politics from Fineman
Hear Jaws bet ‘gainst that ape
Kurkjian loves avocados
Carville hates TSA

    I cannot tell you how much I love that you made the pina colada song into a jingle. So good!
