A love song to the late great WB Television Network that brought us those amazing shows like Felicity, Buffy, Dawson's Creek, and more. From my 2001 album “Living it Down”

And before you tell me I ripped off David Cook’s The Time of My Life, please note that my song was released 7 years earlier. If anything, he owes me money.

Lyrics:

When I get down I get these visions
How life would improve from different decisions
And then I see those in the same boat as me
In all those young dramas on prime time tv
They don't get down or even depressed
The same lifestyles as mine just give them depth
I would get jealous but there's one thing I know
There'd be losers like me if they weren't the leads in a show

That's why I want to be on The WB
Then all of my problems would benefit me
My lonely behavior would be so heroic
When I’ve nothing to say I’ll just look stoic and deep
On The WB

If life were a drama and I the lead in it
I could hold your interest for forty-four minutes
And if I go flat I’ll remember this notion:
Everything’s poignant when it’s in slow motion
But real life never feels so dramatic
With no station breaks or tricks cinematic
A boring existence is what you’ll be living
When you play a character 24-7

I want to be on The WB
Where even ugly kids are still kind of pretty
Bands on the radio would write me ballads
All the attention would nurture and validate me
On The WB

I never see them pay the rent
Their apartments must be heaven-sent
With square footage like basketball courts
How the hell do they get such good credit reports?

(Spoken)
Tonight on Living it Down, Rob learns that his once-artsy neighborhood has become so trendy he can no longer afford it.

His girlfriend begins dating an older, investment banker who has lots of money to spend on her.

And finally, Rob must face the ultimate decision between Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and ramen noodles.

That’s tonight on an all-new Living It Down. Because if you want to chase your dreams, you’re gonna have to sleep a lot.

I want to be on The WB
And all the lead actresses will lust after me
And I’ll always be cool, and always come off suave
And all of my problems will resolve so obviously
On The WB
