It started with a harmonica loop and an idea to write a song called "my wife". Give it up for Adam- he came up with the M-A-N and W-I-F-E idea and contributed heavily to the lyrics. This song was written in early February, but we decided NOT to give this to our wives as Valentine's day gifts. I did play it for my wife- she smiled at times, but also gave hints that she was not thrilled (it was the rolling of her eyes during certain verses) and she may have said something like "why did I marry a freak head" under her breath. It's an original, not a parody. It would have been much better with a real female vocalist. My wife could have done it, but she adamantly refused when I asked. She has no time for this nonsense!

Ohare Rat Song (Such a Good Feeling) ©2008 Howard Segal to the tune of More Than a Feeling by Boston
This song was conceived sitting in traffic on the Edens at 8 PM 5/7/08. Inspired by the Jonathan Brandmeier show earlier that day. I started recording the "Guitar" at 9 PM and then did the vocals on the macbook pro in our garage (D was going to sleep). That's not me doing background vocals- I recruited an actual Rat from the alley to stack harmony. He did okay, except on the word RAT. Friggin' Chicago rodent.

Aired 4/21/2008 on WLUP 97.9 FM Chicago, Jonathan Brandmeier show.
Kent Voss liked it. But then someone pushed a button saying it was "the biggest puss song I've ever heard".
You know what? Johnny B is the biggest puss morning radio personality I've ever heard. Shank him Hector.
Thanks Johnny!

For some reason I've always liked this song which is fine. But to create this version, I must indeed be a wacky individual don't you think? Meanwhile I am one of several individuals who are creatively inspired by Kent Voss. My song aired 3/18/2008 along with parts of the song "Sexual Weirdness" by Pete (member of the listener hall of fame) who also wrote the well-known "Let the Man Do News" aired daily on the Brandmeier show. It was Pete's lyrics "move aside, let the man do news" which obviously inspired my lyrics "step aside rooster- you're blocking my view, permit the man to do news, pale white man do the news". We're all crazy in Chicago! Just havin' fun indeed.
No harm intended.

It's 37 seconds. Dedicated to Mr Movie Phone. Features J and B on vocals.
It was aired at the end of Mr. Movie Phone's weekly segment on Johnny's show April 3 2008.
Since that time I have not heard Mr. Movie Phone on the air (as of 4/21/08). Did this song kill Mr. Movie Phone?
No- he must have taken some time off. He came back 4/24/08. Whew!
Disclaimer: It is true that I had my niece and nephew say the word crap and turd on this song. They are good kids who know not to repeat these words in mixed company. Besides, turd and crap are harmless unless ingested orally. Both words are legal on public broadcast media. If you have complaints, too bad. Get off my site.
I won't release the version with vocals to the general public for now. Enjoy the instrumental version or join VOX.
Let That Hector Play. On the aired version March 11 2008 below, you can hear Johnny B playing along on his drums. Bonus.
Johnny, Bruce Wolf, Hector in the morning.
