Tonight was the monumental world premier of our version of the Joey Reynold’s Show Theme Song. It occurred at precisely 1:44am on live national radio. We had been tossing around ideas for about a month. We were asked to write something for him on our first appearance on the show about a month ago and knew that we had to have it done by tonight. Necessity is the mother of invention and deadlines are inspirational to get the crap ideas out of the way.
I pieced the song together in my head on the way to our afternoon gig at the Long Island Rail Road station and sang it to Clifton and Cassidy. By the time Stefan arrived we had the whole thing nearly assembled. Stefan added his growly snarly sound and Clifton added a sweet little background part that echoed “Sherry Baby,” a song dear to the heart of the Joey Reynolds mythology. The lyrics of our ditty…
Joey Reynolds.
You stole my girl.
You told me how
I’d never get her back again.
It was a shorter appearance than last time and we also got to perform “Comes Love” and a great broken down version of “Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down” which came complete with “Country Preacher” Clifton Hyde testifying the heresies of certain naysayers. They seemed to enjoy the whole presentation and we’ll be back in again in June I think!
