Song Parody

Well, the results are in, and it became a nitemare to declare a winner, but I do have one - the official" Pothole Paradise" of the Capital Region is…….

I don't know about you, but  If Dorrie and I have to  look at these two items ONE more time we're going to be put into straight jackets and sequestered in padded rooms.  But then again, that will give us an even worse case of CABIN FEVER!!  (Dorrie and my duet about the subject to follow)

Aaron Lewis hates Tyler Farr's #1 hit song, "Redneck Crazy" and he's not afraid to say so.  In fact, he even does his own version as an answer to the original song. Lewis, who you know as the frontman for the band Staind, and from his country song, "Country Boy" that did moderately well in 2010, thinks that Farr's song promotes violence against women...

Our loyal listeners have done it again- they have straight up out rhymed me.  I wouldn't have thought of these lines for sure.  Nice work.  Here's what you came up with--

Although I pretended to be flustered by trying to write a song on the spot, I actually relish the opportunity to do things under pressure.   So Sean and Bethany popped this on me this morning - and it could just become a weekly feature, thanks to how well you all responded! Welcome to "Write A Song Wednesday!!"

Consider this a test of the emergency "green screen" system.  This is only a test.  I wanted to try this very badly - using a green screen behind me to incorporate visuals  that went along with my song.  I'll let you be the judge as to how it worked.  Remember - this is only a test.

it must be bitter sweet for Jerry Jennings. It has to be tough to leave that position as Albany's mayor, but he has been there for over 20 years, and he deserves to relax.  (But not before he gets picked on one more time!!)

There are a slew of funny Christmas songs out there. This is one of my favorites from fellow radio guy Bob Rivers. Someone took the time to put visuals to it and provide lyrics, so you can sing and laugh along!

i had a fantastic time (as usual) at St Thomas The Apostle School in the Delmar area.  I was interested to see what their "wish list" was for the jolly old bearded man.  They not only told me, but they ended up creating a song parody in no time flat.  Here is their creation!

Do you have a real Christmas tree?  Do you have a fake fireplace?  Is everything in your life becoming artificial? Prefab?  I'm guilty of it too.  It's definitely an Artificial Wonderland! Here's a song about it - performed live on the show today (lyrics included).

Ugh! Listen, if I want to feel bad about myself I can do that all on my own, thank you very much. I'm not sure I need the Holderness Family making a video that makes us all seem a little less perfect.

There's a lot of online shopping going on this Christmas season. Watch out! Scammers are everywhere.  I actually met one of them and got him to sing a duet with me as a punishment!
