The Lyrics

Don't you just love that "Happy Talk" TV news format? I call it "Sappy Talk" ...

Sappy talk
Keep talkin' sappy talk
Talk about things in to-day's news

You got to have a grin
If you don't have a grin
How you gonna get Nielsens for you?

Talk about some goon
Openin' his fly
Flashin' all the ladies at the lake

Talk about some con
Watchin' C.S.I.
Takin' notes to use when he escapes

Sappy talk
Keep talkin' sappy talk
Talk about gossip and be crude

You got to have a grin
If you don't have a grin
How you gonna get Nielsens for you?

Talk about Jack Sparrow
Lookin' mighty drunk
Staggerin' like Johnny Depp on weed

Talk about some girl
Wants to be a boy
What would Freud have said about her need?

Sappy talk
Keep talkin' sappy talk
Talk about things sexy and new

You got to have a grin
If you don't have a grin
How you gonna get Nielsens for you?

Talk about some boy
Wants to be a girl
Takin' magic pills to grow some boobs

Talk about two girls
Talk about two boys
Happy gays in Boston say " I do! "

Sappy talk
Keep talkin' sappy talk
Talk about diets, sex, and food

You got to have a grin
If you don't have a grin
How you gonna get Nielsens for you?

If you don't talk sappy,
And don't smile on TV,
Then your advertisers drop-kick you!

Appropriate that this comes from South Sapific, one of the sappiest musicals of all time.

I don't know the song, but...gave you 5's anyway. It's hard to read this without a sappy grin on your face. :)

And that's why I watch BBC America...thanks for making an un-funny subject sing-able.

DUDE?!?!?! Have you been eating? Sleeping? Damn! Excellent job. I love how you did the girl to boy, boy to girl, boy-boy/girl-girl sequence... Do you have a "Carefuly Taught" one? (ooh, just thought of a dirty one... )

It is a Rodgers and Hammerstein extravaganza in Johnny D land today!! Excellent

talk may be sappy...but this tune is snappy

Johnny D - August 03, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks everybody!

Arwen: Your favorite? Really? I think my favorite is "Bali Hai", just because it's so freakin' campy!

JB: Yep, just tappin' the ol' SP-tree to drain off a little parody-sap!

Adagio: :-D

Ravyn: BBC ROCKS!

Leo: Nope, don't have a "Carefully Taught" one .... yikes, that one DOES lead to dirty thoughts, doesn't it?

Cookie-man: And now the extravaganza's a bonanza in your parody-reading-handza's!

alvin: From sappy to snappy --- not crappy --- I'm happy --- if there were no sex ban, we'd be slappin' pappy!
