I redid some lyrics and made the video late on May 4 2009. And you will have to watch to find out why Hayden Panettiere is in my video!
Home of the "Misdemeanor Weiner"
The restaurant is real and has raised controversy because of the name. Owner Jim Andrews refuses to back down and change the name. He plans to hire ex-offenders to work at his place, which no one is opposed to, but the Alderman is upset about the name of the establishment. Johnny B interviewed the owner several times, as well as the alderman. The listeners called in with ideas which I used for lyrics. Jay Leno came up with "Pervert Burger" and my buddy came up with "Chocolate Shank".

Edited Karaoke Track with my right hand on my organ...haha! (you have a sick mind)
Just found out this video was aired on WGN-TV Morning News just after 8:30 am this morning (April 15 2009), only 8 hours after it was completed. Another collaboration. Music by Edwardo, Video by Howeirdo (moi). Join the effort by WGN Radio's Garry Meier to get a Ron Santo statue at Wrigley Field.
The song was aired on WGN Radio, the 50,000 Watt megahorse. Garry mentioned Edwardo but referred to me as "a guy" and "somebody"! The video is now posted on WGN radio's web site, right there on the petition!
Here's Edwardo's edit of the aired song and "Howard plug"
You think this is gay? lol! I don't care...it was fun. Fun as in gay.
Here are some bits of "Roland Burris" (aka me) on WLUP in the past week.
Snow in Chicago. I captured it on digital media.

It was a crazy week here in Chicago. The police shot a wild cougar 5 blocks from my hood and there was an earthquake (minimal but palpable) April 18 2008.
An original song written and recorded in February 2008.

Excerpt aired 10/6/08. Johnny must have received many many songs about the Cubs, and we were honored to hear ours. Hopefully he will play more of it eventually: he did keep it going for awhile while he talked which is not usual! And he laughed at our chorus! As you will hear though, he was enthralled with another ridiculous song- a stupid and bad one- which is beginning to grow on me. It is so funny because it was meant to be serious. But- honored I am to have now 13 months in a row with at least part of a song aired on the radio. It is fun!
