a parody of "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day
(I submitted this earlier as just lyrics w/ a link to the video, I didn't know about the separate video submission form) I created this after the Sharks were eliminated by the Stars in the 2nd round for the 3rd year in a row. It describes the pain Sharks fans have known far too many times, and was amplified in this year's playoffs, where the "President's Trophy" winning Sharks were eliminated in the 1st round by the Anaheim Ducks. It's gonna be a long summer for Sharks fans.

a parody of "Whatever It Is" by Zac Brown Band
"Rotten office fridge cleanup sends 7 to hospital" - I couldn't pass up the chance at this... I hope you like it. Here's the story at Yahoo News. http://tinyurl.com/stinkyfridge - Just to let you know what this is. I write parody songs and syndicate them to radio stations. I figured 'why not pull the curtain back and show what it is that I do.' Depending on the parody, the song gets written and recorded the same day (that's why I'm reading the lyrics). First I produce the music... then record the lyrics.
