Title: My band wrote a Best Show Theme
Post by: Chris Kiss on August 01, 2009, 12:11:04 AM

My band is a sloppy punk band from Toronto called Heavy Polish (like the nationality not like what you put on floors). I think the theme is a good way to get band members into the show. Here's the link & the lyrics:

http://www.myspace.com/theparkabrothers

Stolen radio signal cranked
sitting on my orange crate
giving ghouls the 'heave-ho!'
Tom doesn't hesitate

Chorus:
What one man can do another can do
The Best Show on WFMU

If you've got a better show
I'd say that you're a liar
Cuz Tom's got faces all lit up
Like a New Port Richey Christmas Tree fire!

(Chorus)

Why's the radio signal stolen?

I like it.  I'm a sucker for sloppy punk.

You've pointed this out in the romance threads, as well.

Liar.  I prefer at least basic tidiness in my men.

Well, punk at least. 

Don't make me delve into my suspicions about who wrote what on the other threads.

I know you won't, but I wouldn't care if you did.  I always assume everyone knows when I'm posting even on the anonymous boards.  (I believe someone called me insufferably smug when I said this on the original FOTchan.) 

There was one lubrication thread . . .

Anyway, if by "punk" you mean emotionally unavailable and otherwise seriously fucked up, then yes indeed!

during The Best Show Awards in early 2008 Paul F. Tompkins asked Tom how many people he thought were listening to the show somehow - even though it's free - illegally.
