Lyrics

"Under The Bridge" (Yep, the whole damn tune!)

Sometimes I feel
Like I’ve just pulled a fast one
Sometimes I feel
Like it’s all been a fraud

Tell these radio listeners
The folks I call Littles
It’s just a vacation
But they start to cry

I eat at the Palm
‘Cause they know my preference
There’s no need to shout
"Do you know who I am?!"

And once 9 o’clock comes
I slip off to dreamland
But I never worry
Now that is a lie

At least they won’t have to deal
With more podcast delays
Maybe if I learn to tweet
Then they’ll know I’m okay

At least they won’t have to deal
With more podcast delays
Maybe if I learn to tweet
Then they’ll know I’m okay

It's hard to believe
That this shows been on this long
It's hard to believe
I'm still on the air

I guess there are Littles
The Littles that love me
More desperate than I am
Who still want me back

At least they won’t have to deal
With more podcast delays
Maybe I could write a blog
And tell them I’m okay

At least they won’t have to deal
With more podcast delays
Maybe I could write a blog
And tell them I’m okay

Over the bridge I’ll go
I guess I’ll play some golf
Over the bridge I’ll go
Maybe they’ve had enough
Over the bridge I’ll go
I’m keepin’ my eyes closed
Over the bridge I’ll go
At least til Labor Day . . .

(Straight cash)

    Love the more modern songs being used for parodies. The production values just blow me away. Almost zero chance TK has heard the original song.... HA.

    Brad Weiss has an incredible range of musical selections for jingles! Never know what he's going to parody next. AWESOME!!

    Brilliant. And I agree with John. Give it Away is a no brainer for Tony.

    Brad, this is great. First, you know I love the full length treatment. Second, #100 just might be your best vocal performance. I can see you fronting the Red Hot Chili Paupers cover band. [Tip: Don't borrow any socks from Flea] As for cracking open the RHCP vault, that might not be the right imagery. It's really more like a backpack left by the side of the road, but hey, there's a "Give it Away" jingle about kind bars and ice cream just waiting to be written....
