Lyrics

The lyrics are by John Fitzpatrick and me. John Fitzpatrick sings it.

I get excited when he's on my TV screen
(He) first heard the Rolling Stones in two thousand thirteen
He gets pissed off on air and he is no show pony
The best part of the show is when he says "No, Tony."

He called when RGIII would have his first concussion
Plus he likes jazz and other things that Tony's crushin'.
Nobody sends him swag and I don't think that right
You're my amigo David Aldridge, let's not fiiiiiiiiight.

Jeanne and Torie from the chick chair give Tone flack
DA has his chair too and its the one ….um, with a high back?
He doesn’t care if Strasburg’s nice or he’s a jerk
He likes to remind Tone what it’s like to still work

Went to American, and he is from DC
He groans out loud when Tony begs for junk for free
Here comes the emails and the faxes and the notes
When Tony reads them David laughs at all the jokes!!!

    Thanks Mary Faye. I've told others, that's perhaps my favorite joke I've written in one of these. And I wouldn't have had the chance of Mickey hadn't gotten this one going. Cheers!

    This is the funniest jingle of them all. "...And it's the one, uh, with the high back" was inspired. Even two years after airing, it's still my fave.

    Best line in all of the Jingles!!! Wish the woman to whom I am related by marriage was not down... so wanted to stay to hear this and the new "We Are The World" colaboration... assume I will be hearing that this week on air and hoping the audio can get posted. Again, Thank you all for being so smart and funny!

    Hey, I get excited when I hear friends I've never met (and even some I have) have their jingles played on a delayed podcast! Congrats all around!

    It is just so great to hear their reactions in-studio! With David, we got his reaction in the comments below, on the phone, and now in-studio. Nothing beats making them laugh like that! Thanks to everyone for the "comment love" for this one, Jerry for playing it on his podcasts several times, and to Mickey for the idea and for the back-and-forth as we polished it up. Great fun! PS: I really do get excited when he's on my TV screen

    I think that we were the first phone guest intro jingle. So we've got that going for us, which is nice. Great job, John.

    Actually, the "Two Of Us" jingle which spurned me to do all of this junk has aired 3-4 times and is the only non-Gary/Darius jingle to do so.

  • Hampton Nager in Dallas, TX
    I now recall that "We didn't start the fire" was also aired twice. While no-one would dispute that Jerry is also on Mount Rushmore, you could argue that it was during the dead-ball era.

  • Hampton Nager in Dallas, TX
    Mickey and John, you two sit on Mount Rushmore. The only jingle to repeat perform, you get two spots. I'd like to say more but I gotta run; that urine won't get upstairs by itself, you know.

    I'm starting tho think that any new listener to the show should spend time on tkjingles listening to the songs to understand the relationships & jokes. Jingles like this are history lessons about the show! Really enjoyed it.
