Lyrics:Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)

From This Might Be A Wiki
Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)
By: They Might Be Giants
Year: 2026

Well I know it sounds funny But I'm not in it for the money, no I don't need no reputation And I'm not in it for the show

I just want a hit record, yeah Wanna hear it on the radio Want a big hit record, yeah One that everybody's got to know

Well if the program director don't pull it Then it's time to get back the bullet So, bring the group down to the station You're gonna be an overnight sensation

I've been tryin' to write the lyric Non-offensive but satiric too And if you put it in the a-slot It's just got to make a mint for you

And I want a hit record, yeah Wanna hear it on the radio Want a big hit record, yeah One that everybody's got to know, whoa

Overnight sensation

I fit those words to a good melody Amazing how success has been ignoring me So, long I use my bread making demos all day Writing in the night while in my head I hear The record play, hear it play

Hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah (number one) Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah Wanna hit record, yeah
