So, "The Legend of PRB" has been doing smashingly on the DT20...thank you all who've voted for it (two weeks in a row at number 1! Woo!). This brings about a serious question...
Many have said it's one of my best songs, musically and vocally (which for me, is a big thing, considering I'm...well say, not the strongest of singers). I'm currently considering sending it to Dr Demento for his show, but the subject matter is keeping me from it. Considering it's about a REAL person whom I know personally, some of the jokes may be considered a bit to "in" for the show (despite my attempt to make them as broad about general drinking as possible, it IS funnier if you know of Rob's "Party" persona, IMO) and that may keep it from being played. However, since Rob's own song "Gamer Funk" (which itself is also about the con scene) has been number 1 two months running on Dr Demento's Top Ten, a SONG about the number one artist would do at least moderately well in that setting...or so my theory goes.
What say you, friends? Should I just forgo all worries of "in jokes" and send it, or should I keep it twixt our little comedy music community? Please...any help would be appreciated.
Oh, and thanks again for voting for my songs...after doing this for 15 years only locally and without much success, to have my work be so well recieved is amazing, and I love you all. Seriously. ^_^ |

I think that everyone can identify with someone who is a different person when they have a lot to drink. If they know Rob Balder, it's a bonus.
I say send it in! |

Why don't we all request it and then he'll have no choice. |

| It can't hurt to submit it but don't be surprised if it isn't played because it is an in-joke. It's a fun song. |

I think the subject matter is the problem. Few will know who PRB is, even if you mention the name itself.
It can't HURT to submit it, but I rather doubt he will air it, since it is unlikely his audience will know Rob Balder that well.
