What a Tv Show - Parody of "we Can Work It Out"

I've recorded the song, which you can hear here: I did vocals and guitar - Sung to the tune of "We Can Work it Out" What a TV Show American Idol There’s so many loonies seeking fortune and fame But I’m suicidal Paula Abdul’s gone and Ellen’s just not the same What a tv show! What a tv show! Some of them have talent Many more are fruitcakes who love to screech and howl Oh so brave and gallant ‘Til they’re subjected to the snide remarks of Simon Cowell What a tv show! What a tv show! For every Clay Aiken, 10,000 Sanjayas Are making an awful sound You’re much mistaken if your burning desire’s To hear Larry sing “Pants on the Ground” Can I find a reason To withstand my co-workers gentle rebukes Yet every season I tune in for more zany crazy tone deaf kooks What a tv show! What a tv show! For every Fantasia, 10,000 William Hungs Eagerly wait in the wings They’ll amaze ya, these delusional throngs Tell me why do we enjoy such things? American Idol There’s a bunch of loonies seeking fortune and fame Think I need a Midol Good or bad, next year we won’t remember their names What a tv show! What a tv show! For John Heck's "Beatlemania" Contest - The Beatles "We Can Work it Out"
