Lyrics

He’d like to make the world conform to his priorities
No apple slices, herding dogs, and no x-country skis

You won’t believe this guy’s complaints
[what a kvetch!]
About the smallest things
[bout the smallest things]
He’s even told us how he hates, well almost everything

[How is this a thing?]
You won’t believe this guy’s complaints
[That’s enough out of you]
About the smallest things
He’s even told us how he hates, well almost everything

How is this a thing?
Oy vey
That’s enough out of you
Oh, Kornheiser

How is this a thing?
Oy vey
That’s enough out of you
Oh, Kornheiser
How is this a thing?

I think this is the first jingle of a . . . jingle!

    I blame it on me still adjusting to the 3 hour time difference... and also the fact that I'm an idiot.

    Agree on sounding fantastic together. Love it. But somehow Jason doesn't remember that he himself has already done a jingle of a jingle (Chili's). I think the LA smog is getting into his brain.

    My favorite part is Brad pointing out that this is a jingle of a jingle. That's not a slight to the song at all, because it sounds perfect and the whole thing is absolutely tremendous in every way... I just love the idea of furthering the insanity to new heights so much. You have split the jingle atom once again.

    LEONARD!! Funny, true, story: Matthew Weiner's dad is s physician and a colleague of my dad's so we knew each other a very little as kids. His dad's name is LES, not Leonard. For the record.
