| . i love the way he annunciates his ee's, and a's (that turn into ee's) etc. very idiosyncratic...and the song is a PERFECT match for those silly lyircs - which aren't THAT much sillier that the original lyrics - (wtf is was the orginal song about, anyway - it makes no sense to me?!) i think al may historically be attracted to pop songs with bad lyrics - think about it - "bad", "another one bites the dust", " i want it that way"? all pretty bad lyrics...(it's a sweeping statement - "like a virgin" is pretty good  ).

| Laugh all you want, but we had to do an eBay commercial for real. It never aired, but here's a short clip. WARNING; it will stay in your head for days: http://www.itrstudio.com/ebay.mp3

| No items were mentioned. This was a real eBay commercial, commissioned by a local ad agency in Dallas. We had the music done at Dave Martin's Java Jive studio in Nashville, and we did all the vocal tracks and mixing here.
