Richie’s 2015 Year In Review Song —’Time Is Marching On’ [VIDEO]

I don't want to blab on and on here. The song says it all. There are more than 85 visuals and 440 words in the lyrics. Have no fear, it take only 3 minutes and 9 seconds to view.

This is my 2015 Year In Review song. I hope you enjoy it.

My only other comment before you view this is that I am proud to say this is the 27th "Time Is Marching On" song I have written, spanning every year that I have done morning radio. I don't know how many more years are in the cards for me at this point, but it continues to be one hell of a ride, and I thank each and every one of you for your loyalty to not only me but to Sean, Bethany, Dave and all at WGNA. I wish you a very safe and happy 2016, and special congrats to two very special people, my incredible son Ben and equally incredible almost daughter-in-law Colleen on their upcoming wedding in early January! OK, I promised I wouldn't blab, ladies and germs….here it is (lyrics beneath the video).

Time Is Marching On 2015

(based on "When Johnny Comes Marching Home")

Oh yes, my friend- once again

Time is Marching On

2015 has split the scene,

Another year is gone,

And now it's time to put into rhyme

All the events that come to mind

When we look back on the year that's come and gone-

Check out the price of gas over there

It's affecting my stocks- that's not fair

It's going down to two bucks a gallon –

For comic relief I watch Jimmy Fallon

The persecuted feel frustration

Hittin' the road mass migration

Where's the best place to calm their fear?

The Donald says "They ain't comin here"

Waiting in line for the new iPhone

Maybe someday it will come by drone

Kim is a mommy, she's elated

Tom Brady's ego got deflated

Jared Vogel, evidence mounting

How 'bout Josh from "19 Kids and Counting"?

Mr. Cosby, America's dad

Should I rhyme all the women he supposedly had?

(Its only a two minute song!)

Greece is bankrupt -poor country it owe's billions

Who's the bigger big liar

Volkswagon or Brian Williams?

(Hmmmm, let me think about that!)

New health claims that they're makin'
Want to die early? Eat some bacon!

Here's something that made you go nuts

Ariana Grande lickin' donuts?

Bindy Erwin Dancing with the Stars

Hey, the found water on Mars

Rachael let me get this right

You say you're black but you're white?

Someone jumped the white house fence

Miley cyrus wear some pants

Apple vs Taylor Swift

Republicans and Democrats - constant rift

The Donald wants DC

and if he does real, real well

The White House could be

the world's next 5 star Trump hotel

(Don't tell that to my wife - I feel her pain!)

Then there's New York politics,

We have a couple of sneaky fellas

Corruption makes you sick

Hi-oh, Silver- Bye Bye Skelos

The dentist and the lion, is he ill?

$750 for a pill?

Most fascinating person, Caitlyn Jenner

Where the hell's the snow this winter?

Terrorism, constant fear,

and let's not forget those we've lost this year…

Wes Craven, directed "Scream"

Yogi, star of the Yankee's team,

Bobbi Kristina what a shod,

Leonard Nimoy, he was Spock,

Mario, the greatest speaker in the world ,

Judy Carne, the "sock it to me" girl,

Frank Gifford, football great,

Little Jimmy Dickens, a guy you couldn't hate,

B B King, man, the King of the Blues,

These are all people you hated to lose ,

LONG LIVE THE AMERICAN DREAM

HERE'S TO A BETTER 2016

TIME IS MARCHING ON, TIME IS MARCHING ON ……
