Micah Sommersmith - The Tunes are Spinning

lyrics

The tunes are spinning, they’re spinning in circles
And everyone is riding along
Men and women, Winslows and Urkels,
All sharing their homemade songs

(SpinTunes)
And every round somebody’s going home dejected
(SpinTunes)
Because their finely-crafted tune just got rejected
But let’s not dwell on that now
Instead let me tell you about how

The tunes are spinning, they’re spinning right atcha
They’re coming on thick and fast
The one that’s winning is that one that’s catchiest,
That makes an impression that lasts

(SpinTunes)
But all this music tends to leave a person senseless
(SpinTunes)
We need a guide who’s already lost his senses
So let me introduce to you
A gentleman who used to do
A lot of interesting things

He’s the undisputed minor duke of comedy
He’s the William Henry Harrison of harmony
Never takes home the statue, but he’s still a nominee
I’d tell you more, but I think he might be onto me
Here’s your host, the one and only Tommy G

The tunes are spinning in parabolic arches
And everybody’s having some fun
From tender ballads to vitriolic marches
There’s something for everyone

(SpinTunes)
Guitar solos that will melt your face off
(SpinTunes)
Rhymes so sick you’ll need to take a couple days off
Let’s go ahead and dive in
Let’s give these dang tunes a spin
It’s SpinTunes!
