Lyrics

Tony got a bit melancholy the other day, realizing his future job prospects were dwindling. This sent me straight to the Johnny Walker Blue and to the downbeat side of the Chairman's catalog....

Our Orange Old Bald Guy [My Funny Valentine]

Our orange old bald guy
Local radio yodeling guy
Your Today show gig is not nigh
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet they use Hi-Def on PTI

Is your future looking bleak?
Does your mouth emit a shriek?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart? Like Fredo?

But don't grow more hair for me
Tone, if you care for me
Read my email for the folks
I promise “Know who’s tall?” jokes

A parody of "My Funny Valentine" by Frank Sinatra

    I've always thought this song would be way too depressing to be a jingle. But Tony's self-reflection on his lack of job prospects is a brilliant way to kick off to what turned out to be a great song to parody. Well done, John, this one gave me some loud laughs!
