The Lyrics

A couple of days before attending the 2014 "Germanfest" event in my state, (and embarrassing myself by going on the event's inflatables) I saw the special "My Music: The Big Band Years" on my local PBS station. The music from that era got me through the weeks that followed. I have not listened to any modern music since. I have written this parody as a token of my appreciation for the local PBS station, which introduced me to this great music at exactly the right time. I wouldn't be writing this today if it weren't for them. If you want to know why I've written parodies of obscure songs from the 1930's, and why I feel so strongly about "Germanfest", this is why. I hope you enjoy.
I'm so thankful for my local station
For airing a "My Music" show,
I'm thankful, my appreciation
Is in the genre that they showed,

Big band songs were what I needed then,
After my time at "Germanfest",
Before long, I soon listened to them,
I got through 2014's tests,

The music I listen to this day,
I first heard it on PBS,
And until the day I pass away,
I won't return to "Germanfest",

I'm thankful for every song I've heard
That got me through that month of June
I'm thankful for this music genre
I'll never hear a modern tune!
Thank you, KTWU. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. You changed my life forever.

Great to finally see the song "Let's Be Thankful" mentioned on "Am I Right". Thank you for writing this. It's one of my favorites also. You are writing parodies of songs that have been forgotten and giving them new life again. I can see why you love this musical era so much. There is no better musical era than the big band era, and you have exposed these great songs to new people. What a great thing that is.
