The office supply store asked me to go online to rate and review a binder I recently bought so I made this. And yes, I realize it's ridiculous.

Nothing can top the 1-877-Kars-4-Kids jingle in the annoying department, but Kars for Tots comes pretty close. And is it just us or does this Kars for Tots seem not quite on the level?")

When you need to get from city to city on the East Coast and you have no money, it’s time to ride the Chinatown Bus! No stations! No depots! Just cheap transport from a random neighborhood in one city to another!")

Energy! Movement! Positioning your brand in an upbeat and fun lifestyle! That’s why we make actors dance in commercials! Dance, actors! DANCE!!!
Bot don’t feel bad for actors looking silly dancing in a national commercial, that dancing paid their mortgage and qualified them for health insurance.
The music this week was fun to work on, I went for super-peppy, happy, like that Rusted Root song that showed up in an Enterprise Rent a Car commercial. And a big thank you to my friend Lee Avant for starring in her SECOND 52 Sellout commercial!")

There is just no way in absolute heck that it takes 10 people to write a 3 chord pop song! Havana!? The Middle? 17 songwriters between them and only 3 chords. Not even a change in the chord progression for a chorus or bridge! Just the same dang 3 chords throughout the whole thing!
OK, obviously this is something that bothers me, which is why I was so happy that this bit from my live concert album (Rob P. Rocks A Jazz Club) went over so well with the live audience. Some comedy industry people have told me its a subject thats too specific to music theory people and musicians, but I think its something everyone can understand if presented properly.
So here it is, a fun bit from my live concert album for you to enjoy on YouTube! If you like what you hear why not buy a track, or the whole thing, over at bandcamp? https://robprocks.bandcamp.com/album/rob-p-rocks-a-jazz-club
Or iTunes or wherever you buy stuff.")

A cupcake strolls through the city without a care in the world. I heard a rumor its going to get its own HBO show soon.
Update: I posted this video 6 days ago and yesterday corporate cupcake company Crumbs went out of business. BEWARE THE POWER OF SATIRICAL SONGS!
Lyrics:
Nine dollar cupcake you better be damn good
There better be a job baked into you
that helps me afford my neighborhood
You better be my soulmate
or the holy grail
You better have the winning lotto numbers
or Kate Uptons email
You better have flour made of cocaine
or frosting made of gold
You better get me higher
than the biggest joint I ever rolled
You better give me confidence
and take away my dread
And tell me I made all the right decisions
when I lie awake in bed
Nine dollar cupcake
you think youre better than me?
You just waltz into my hood
and bougie up my street
Im sure youre fancy
but why should I care?
I dont need to eat everything
with my nose up in the air
When I first heard about you
I just laughed and mocked
But what the hell do I know
theres a line around the block
Why do people love you
I cant figure it out
I guess give them something
that they can blog about
Nine dollar cupcake are you why
The rents too damn high
Our culture gets stale
When the whole towns upscale
Nine dollar cupcake
Ive got a hunch
That I will hate you more
than I hate people who love brunch
Nine dollar cupcake
messing up my hood
All right, Id pay five bucks for one
but only if its really good
Nine dollar cupcake...
