Did you know that this IS NOT a joke?
Did you know these songs are hysterical?
Did you know that if you read this interview with Paul Anka, you'll discover he actually believes he has improved some of these songs? (Kids, let's keep it quiet, raucous laughter is not appropriate in the game Did You Know?)
Did you know all of these classic songs now sound basically the same?
Did you know you could blend each song seamlessly into the other, creating one long continuous song that just could be the longest in the history of the world?
Did you know there is a Saturday Night Live skit from the 1980s starring Joe Piscopo in which he plays Frank Sinatra doing basically the same thing Paul Anka does here, only to the song "Under My Thumb" by the Rolling Stones?
Did you know that skit was supposed to be very funny, and it was?
Did you know this CD wasn't supposed to be funny, and it is?

Did you know no one probably had the guts to say to the great Mr. Anka, "Bad idea boss?"
Did you know that if the swing version of "Jump" plays in your head all day today because of this, you can get it out of there by singing "The Wheels of the Bus Go 'Round and 'Round"?
Did you know I could be this annoying by writing in question form?
Did you know I'm tired of writing in question form?
Did you know this is the last question?
Did you know that my favorite morning show plays this CD on a daily basis as bumper music? I MUST be old because I like his versions!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that I find that hilarious?!!! I am sorry, but I just have to laugh at this. That's a shame because I really like Paul Anka and have a lot of respect for him, but I mean, come on!!!!
ReplyDelete"Jump, hey, yeah, whoa, might as well jump!" I'm laughing myself silly right now just thinking about it. It's ridiculous. I'd say these songs are ruined for me for the rest of my earthly life!
Well, I did mean "like" in that the songs make me laugh, however I have always loved his voice. The radio show I listen to plays the songs for laughs!
