Car Talk Star

from Sweet Tooth by Lojo Russo

/

about

I wrote this in 2009 for NPR's Car Talk program and submitted it in 2012. I've listened to this show for many years (one of my favorite NPR shows) and always wanted to be one of the songs they played. Thing is, I didn't have a car related song until I wrote this one.
(Note the use of their theme song's hook in my song.)

lyrics

Car Talk Star
© 2009 Lojo Russo
Composed & Performed by Lojo Russo


Car Talk - I wanna be on Car Talk
888-CART-ALK
What a thrill to be on
Car Talk - Hear my voice on Car Talk
I don’t even own a car - I just want to be a Car Talk Star

The Tappet Brother’s are
my favorite radio stars
I never miss a show
without a car I’ve got no place to go but…

Car Talk - I wanna be on Car Talk
888-CART-ALK
What a thrill to be on
Car Talk - Hear my voice on Car Talk
I don’t even own a car - I just want to be a Car Talk Star

So humble and so keen
Their Fair City’s favorite scene
Finding smells and fixing guzzlers
Stump The Chumps, weekly Puzzler

Car Talk - I wanna be on Car Talk
888-CART-ALK
What a thrill to be on
Car Talk - Hear my voice on Car Talk
I don’t even own a car - I just want to be a Car Talk Star…
Oooohhhh…Car Talk!
888-CART-ALK
What a thrill to be on
Car Talk - Hear my voice on Car Talk
I don’t even own a car - I just want to be a Car Talk Star
