My stupid voice mail cracked up Johnny B on the radio today 10/29/08! So yeah, today was my 1 year anniversary of having a SONG aired on the radio courtesy Jonathon Brandmeier at WLUP 97.9 FM Chicago. In addition to airing over 30 of my stupid songs, they used to air a lot of my wacky voice mails. Today they aired this immature and ridiculous voice mail which I sent from a non-cordless phone in my office on yesterday. Not only aired it, but aired it 3-4 times. Then at the end of the show, they aired another voice mail that I left 7 months ago! I'll add it in later. Plus, uh oh, I need to make a YouTube video for this. Thanks Johnny! Thanks Kent!! Thanks Sir Elton.

Halloween Hairdo- Palin Song ©2008 Howard Segal to the tune of Lady by Lenny Kravitz. It starts with Johnny saying that a lot of people want to be Palin for Halloween. Then Esmerelda tells listeners how to do her hairdo. And then Johnny plays the first verse of my "pretty ditty" as Johnny calls it!
Palin ©2008 lyrics by Howard Segal; music by Lenny Kravitz. Ooh, I'd fish with her any day, any time! I'll let her take the hook out of the fish mouths!

A song written 9/28/08. Playoffs start in 3 days. Cubs will host LA. The White Sox have to win a game 9/29 vs Tigers and then 9/30 vs. Twins to get into the playoffs. Wowza.
A tribute to the world's greatest board operator and assistant producer, Hector Soriano. Johnny always makes fun of Hector, asking him to come over for romantic evenings. And Hector says NO!! I hesitated to use Brown Boy, nickname coined by another contributor. But it just fit properly. I love Hector. Too much for my own good.

Parody of the old Cal Worthington dealership commercials.
This morning 8/21/08, Johnny aired 5 of my 10 advertising ideas for the VIP Odorless Toilet. The big contest is tomorrow. There's no way I will win, but I would be honored to make the finals. 3 finalists picked by the station and then the company picks the winner. If I win, I will donate the prize to WLUP or to charity. The prize? A VIP odorless toilet. There seems to be at least 100 entries, but most were voice mails or written emails. Only me and one other guy (The Godfather of contributors, Eduardo) actually recorded a song! To be honest, I like my catch phrases but the best one is the lady who says "Go odor free with the VIP". I can't believe how geeked up I am about a toilet.
