Things I have Done
When I used to work at Countrywide there was a big black English dude named Earl who processed the submitted loans. Whenever he wanted to use the restroom he had to walk past my desk. Sometimes he would just go and sometimes he would take a newspaper with him. On the occasions that he took a newspaper I got into the habit of singing "Duke of Earl" at him as he passed. Of course this was too irresistible and pretty soon everyone in the area was joining in and adding harmonies and shit. We were actually pretty good sounding. Earl hated it but laughed every time anyway.

When I worked at the oldies station this is one of many songs I would sing along to, on the air. I really belted this one out though. What the hell, it was a small market AM station and nobody was listening. Only a few people ever told me they noticed.
ReplyDeleteYou werked at oldies station? What else you did I never heard of? Writing this story made me laugh hard cause there couldn't have been a more appropriate of catchier song for the situation. Why did they write a song about the Duke of Earl to begin with? So wierd.
