So I record a show with two friends, have now going on, I don’t know, close to 10 years I think, minus a couple when I was let go at one group of radio stations and then picked up at another, “Happy Hour”. It’s Jonna Spilbor, you may know her, a regular contributor on Fox News and other shows as a legal expert and Keryl Pesce an author of two self empowerment books and the boss lady of a small publisher, The Little Pink Press, that helps others get their thoughts out there. A thank you for them. They are two of the most wonderful and whip smart women I have ever known. Ahhh, if only to live up to that wit and humor, something, I’m afraid, I often can’t keep with on the show, but …
Jonna, whose stories of mishaps and annoyances are a regular part of the fun, is having her house renovated. So we thought it would be funny for me to come up with a little intro/sting jingle type thing to lead into whatever her latest story of misadventure might be, a something I can do. This renovation has had her move back in with her Mom and Dad for the moment. Sounds almost like being kid again right, just out of college? Except none of us are kids so this situation is ripe with possible comedy and I don’t think she can get back on her parent’s insurance now.
Well, the little intro/sting thing wasn’t enough for me. If I can’t keep up in the show I do have other things I can do, so I searched out “sitcom” this past Friday afternoon at our production music site, a wealth of good choices, but found the best of these sitcomy beds for just what was in my head. A few words later that afternoon, some ‘singing’ in my little studio after everyone had thankfully left for the weekend (other than time spent at the house with my furry girls it’s my favorite of moments) and then back home to build. I came up with this.
The theme song for the Jonna Show.
Gotta have a bit of fun if you can right?
Jonna’s back home after years on her own
Nance & John happy after their bird had flown
Back in her old room
posters still up
Of boys that were a cause to just swoon
Cassidy brothers, David and Shawn, Travolta and even Scott Baio too
Jonna’s back home her own house is a mess
Remodeling disarray causing much stress (scream)
She thought then move back with the rents
Temporary sure but with Momma food scents
She’ll just need remember live when in Rome
But what could go wrong with moving back home?
They’d of course get along
Her single habits they wouldn’t grow long
No Jonna wardrobe mishaps would occur
her raccoons though they will miss her
Nance won’t ask of margarita again
Or glasses of wine where she never says when
Or helping with the garbage
But in outfits to send
Young boys round the bend
Jonna’s back home after years on her own
Nance & John happy after their bird had flown
Jonna’s thankful to avoid all the stress
Of that house of hers being a mess
And timelines that will most surely get stretched (scream)
Nance & John won’t now be alone
Cause their Jonna, she’s back home!
