The Lyrics
The greatest program in broadcasting history.
Sing, (Start in to sing, you'll have to swing)
Then, you'll swing, (Start in to sing, you'll have to swing)
That Red Eye is bound to get you...
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet)
That Red Eye is bound to get you...
Red eye... red eye... red eye... red eye... red eye... mmm...
(vocal solo)
Red Eye Steps,
Start in to hear, then soon, you’ll be hearing,
Red Eye Steps,
Hear a “Yee-haw!” from some high school story,
One, two, three,
High school; hormones raging, (dee-de-oh!)
“Yee-haw!”, see,
Was the line that Red Eye had aired, on repeat,
Red Eye Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Red Eye Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, caller lines one, two, three,
It’s the Red Eye Steps!
(vocal trio)
Red Eye Steps,
Start in to hear, then soon, you’ll be hearing,
Red Eye Steps,
Hear a “Yee-haw!” from some high school story,
One, two, three,
High school; hormones raging, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
“Yee-haw!”, see,
Was the line that Red Eye had aired, on repeat,
Red Eye Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Red Eye Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Caller lines one, two, three,
It’s the Red Eye Steps, whoa!
Red Eye Steps,
(Instrumental call-back)
Red Eye Steps,
(Instrumental call-back)
One, two, three,
High school; hormones raging, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
“Yee-haw!”, see,
Was the line that Red Eye had aired, on repeat,
Red Eye Steps,
(Instrumental call-back)
Red Eye Steps,
(Instrumental call-back)
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Caller lines one, two, three,
It’s the Red Eye Steps, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!
Then, you'll swing, (Start in to sing, you'll have to swing)
That Red Eye is bound to get you...
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet)
That Red Eye is bound to get you...
Red eye... red eye... red eye... red eye... red eye... mmm...

Once again G&GBF provides yet another reprise of his favorite radio moment evarrr. How sad is it that Gary Quacknamara had a higher level of education than this idiot?
Tardsy! You’re back! On behalf of the board, thank you for the reprieve. Was it because someone out there at Idiot Acres lost the crayon, or were you still trying to sound the words out from my replies the day before? I see you’re back to the Gary thing again, meaning the other five subjects you tend to beat into the ground will be making their appearance soon. Is it true that Cypress Hill did a song about you called “Insane ‘bout the mundane”?
Captain Obvious, if you actually appreciated the song that’s being parodied, then maybe you wouldn’t have to create false commentaries to justify your hate for this song. Maybe you wouldn’t have to write bogus stuff like that if you actually commented something worthwhile.
Ha! You of all people complaining about "false commentaries" when you do it virtually every day. I created my commentary precisely because I don't appreciate this song, which also seems to be the consensus on this board. And while we're at it, maybe I wouldn't write stuff like this if you posted something worthwhile. I think we both know the odds of that happening.
You can keep trashing the OS, but nobody’s fooled. Your inability to give respect or appreciation to a truly historic song always gives you away. Also, I’ve never heard you actually admit you’ve heard the song. Maybe you wouldn’t have to submit bogus commentaries if you actually took a listen to the OS, but as always, you refuse to get it; meaning the other five stock phrases you tend to beat into the ground will be making their appearance soon. Ever stop and take a moment to contemplate the greatness of the color beige, dull-on-the-dole?
Unlike you, my intention was never to fool anybody. It's obvious I hate the song, I despise the fact that all you do is swap in a few new words to change subject matter before coming in and smearing that day's turds all over board, then act offended when people (not just me) say they're tired of the song. In all honestly, I enjoy pointing out that your double-digit IQ (I'm being generous) relegates you to being a copy/paste 'tard with no original ideas. Look at your last comment from the semicolon on - almost verbatim copying of things I had written fairly recently.
Hey, you actually had a funny comment, albeit inadvertently. What’s your problem with my interests? Are you now the self-appointed czar of AmIRight, standing guard against the terrors of things such as recordings made nearly ninety years ago? How sad is it when you get offended over a talk show host acting like a cowboy on his final day of high school? Why don’t you appreciate the beauty of Sally Eilers or any other of my so-called “geezer gals”. Is it because you wasted your youth on bad music, Internet videos and cheap public television programming? That might be an impediment when I ask you to justify your problem with my entries.
