Lyrics

"You Really Got Me"

Tone, you’re going to read some email
You’re going to read the Littles’ faxes and notes
Yeah, we want the funny ones
Not just these one-liners of random “jokes”

Yeah, you hear me talkin’ now
Give us Mike from Burke, Steenburgen and Shad
Oh yeah, we like ‘em funny now
Paired with a jingle that’s from Kjerstin or Brad

Read funny emails
Read funny emails

See, these bits don’t last for long
And frankly this new trend is one I don’t get
Tone, this short stuff's just a phase
I got one word for you and it’s “columnette”

Yeah, you really got us now
We don’t get airtime ‘less we toe the new line
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I guess I’ll give in

I’m just five seven
I’m just five seven
I’m just five seven

Oh no...you got me ….

[Solo]

    And PS: I, too, still hold out hope for PPM's "Sirloin" to make it to air. We'll see....

    Thanks, KJ, you are too kind. The shows will be what it will be, but it's so great that Jerry gave us all this little alt universe where we can spin it to our collective liking. And the way everybody pitches in with their own colorations is what makes it special. Keep jinglin'...

    Ours, too ;-) I figured I better get in on this trend before it's passé.
