Check, one, two
Something wrong with this monitor, I was singing off-key
ย
You recognize this song?
I thought you might
Well let me tell ya
It's a lot more than you realized
It ain't just no song about, uh, Billie Jean
It's, uh, about all the Billies everywhere
Great guys like Billie Martin
You know him? The guy with the 'tache
Billie Graham, I'm sure youse heard of him
Yeah, the holy guy
And what about ol' Billie the Kid?
Yeah, Billie the Kid, a lot like me
Guy carries a gun, y'know? Talks of peace
Watch out, the Kid's not my son
Whoo!
ย
Meanwhile, back with this, uh, Billie Martin character
They say he can get kinda cranky
That's right, what I said before
Anyway, the guy can get kinda cranky
Sometimes he coaches the New York Yankees
I said the man used to play
Jack
Billie Graham, sayin' his prayers
Hopin' to get that ol' ticket upstairs
Jack, I said the man can play
Whoo!
Uhh!
Give it to me boys
ย
Whoo!
Meanwhile, back to Billie Jean
There's been talk that, uh, she had
Something to do with me for a while
No way
She's got this kid
The kid sings, kid dances, wears shades, y'know
A glove, somะตodd a glove
Well, let me tะตll you something
The guy's talented, but he's got nothing to do with me
ย
Whoo!
I think we're coming to the bridge
Somebody take me to the bridge
Get me to the bridge
Take it Eddie
Whoo!
It feels like it's time to fade out
Somebody fade me out
Take it down, take it down
Whoo!
Uhh!
Jack
Christ
Dude

Are we having any success getting Tom on the phone?
No, we, we, I spoke to a man who, who I said, I said...
Wait, can you speak up a little bit?
It's Valentine's Day
I said, "Is this Tom Stevens?" and he goes "Yeah"
I said, "I didn't wake you up, did I?" and he goes "No"
I said, "Wait a minute, is this Bingo?" and he goes "What's a Bingo?"
Bingo is an affectionate nickname
It's been a long time
Mmm, yeah
Well my tongue gets t-t-tight when I try to speak
My insides shakin' like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this soul of mine
To love that girl that I love so fine
When she touched my hand, what a chill I got
Lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love, uhh, I'm all shook up
Mmm, mmm, yeah yeah yeah
Mmm, mmm, yeah yeah yeah
I'm all shook up
Thank you Memphis, thanks Cleveland
I'm all shook up
ย
That was pretty horrible, but I could, I could swing with that
Yeah she's got something in her hand
Let's do this one now
Break it down, take it to A
Let's do it one more time
So at any rate, this is a real pretty song
I used to, uh, have sung to me as a kiddy
This is so fucking Dan Fogelberg, I can't believe it
This is, this is called "Circle Around the Sun"
You ready?
