Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)

It's a cover of a song by the Raspberries. I'm so glad they made it their own and cut it shorter. The original is painfully long.

lyrics under cut

Well I know it sounds funny But I'm not in it for the money, no I don't need a reputation And I'm not in it for the show

I just want a hit record, yeah Wanna hear it on the radio Want a big hit record, yeah One that everybody's got to know

Well if the program director don't pull it Then it's time to get back the bullet So, bring the group down to the station You're gonna be an overnight sensation

I've been tryin' to write the lyric Non-offensive but satiric too And if you put it in the a-slot It's just got to make a mint for you

And I want a hit record, yeah Wanna hear it on the radio Want a big hit record, yeah One that everybody's got to know, whoa

Overnight sensation

I fit those words to a good melody Amazing how success has been ignoring me So, long I use my bread making demos all day Writing in the night while in my head I hear The record play, hear it play

Hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah (number one) Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah

My 17yo and I were in the Jeep and 80's on 8 was playing. As soon as the music started, I'd be like "Oh man I loved this song" the then singing would start. After about the 4th song my son was like "Dad how do you know what the song is going to be when the music just started.

I said, "Man this is going to be one of my biggest old man stories ever." When I was a kid like 9 or 10 we watched a lot of "Name That Tune" at your great grandparents' house." I explained what the show was about and how they had to guess songs from a series of clues and the lowest possible notes played to identify the song. Then I told him that just a few years later when I got my first tape recorder, I would sit in front of that radio with a tape placed just right waiting for the song I wanted to keep. I told him, you can just pop online now and pull just about any song you want. When I was a kid you could hear your favorite song one of three ways, 1. Hear it on the radio at some random time. 2. Buy the record or tape, or if you had not caught up to the 80's yet maybe on reel to reel. 3. If you were lucky enough, you recorded to your kick ass mix tape of all your favorite song to rewind over and over and over.

I also told him that unlike those contestants on "Name That Tune" we had very little warning, no clues, we just had to rely on our ears. If we thought the first few notes sounded anything even close to what you wanted to record you hit "record and play". Because if you did not catch at least a little of the sound bridge you were sure to cut off the first words of the song. Or you jump the gun and got some of the D.J. talking, OR, it wasn't even the right danged song and now you had to rewind the tape to the perfect spot and like a trap door spider try to snatch that music out of the either once again.

Damn it I'm old, and its so cool.
