SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   Reality Intrudes, Let's Hope It Doesn't Bite! -- NBC's top entertainment executives confessed this past June that they had misjudged the public interest in so-called reality shows and that NBC was now committed to finding a reality show of its own for next summer or sooner.   One such show the executives talked about extensively, though they said they did not yet have a deal, is called "Chains of Love," which consists of one young woman selecting 4 men she would like to date from a pool of about 100, and then being literally chained to those four men for several weeks, discarding them one at a time until she selects one winner.  Garth Ancier, the president of NBC Entertainment, called it "a relationship show." 


On A TV Show by Amergin

I see the audience all clapping
As I speak in the microphone,
And there to watch me are my momma and my poppa
On the stage there stands my sweet Mary,
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's so good to have my own TV show.

Chorus:
Yes, they'll all come to see me,
Laughing gently and hand aclappin',
It's so good to have my own TV show.

Our new house is so pretty,
And the paint is freshly dried,
And there's an old oak tree that I nailed the swing on.
Down the road I walk with my sweet Mary,
Hair of hold and lips like cherries,
It's good to have my own TV show.

Chorus

Then I awake and look around me,
At the four people chained all around me,
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
'Cause there's a host and a TV camera,
Shackled together we'll walk at daybreak;
Because I'm on a damn reality show

(Final Chorus)
Yes, they'll all come to see me
Eyes glazed, and mouths adrooling
As they watch me on a damn reality show.
