#1065. Adam Crowley

Adam Crowley filled in for Mark Madden last week.  

 

Double M went on one of those "chronologically forgotten" rock'n'roll cruises.  You know, Sha Na Na, Wild Cherry, Jethro Tull, Bread, and so on and so forth.  Sounds like a good time was had by all.  Indeed, everyone got down and some even opted to let it all hang out.  In A Gadda Da Vida!

If the Super Genius ever retires or meets an untimely demise, I hope Crowley fills in permanently.  Adam Crowley, with his sharp wit and irreverence, is a breath of fresh air.  That first google search entry pretty much sums it up.  He's the only Pittsburgh radio personality who's truly capable of stepping in for Mark Madden.  Stylistically, those are some enormous shoes to fill.  But Crowley is unusually solid.

Adam Crowley, we want Madden instead.
Oh, Adam Crowley, Mark will die and be dead.
All the while Mike Tomlin’s black magic
Flores had Better Call Saul.
Your Pittsburgh Pirates are so tragic
Bob Nutting isn’t on the ball

You are harming, XDX is the cure
You should be farming, minor leaguers hardcore
Mario Lemiuex’s not in the red
Goals for what they are worth
The Flyers are really the weakest
Our division goes back and forth

Adam Crowley, Roethlisberger of course
Adam Crowley, Mason Rudolph remorse
Pittsburgh has some horrible traffic
Our parkways say it all
The sports teams are sometimes fantastic
Complaining fans can always call

Why do you spread discontent
All the money that was spent
All the money, all the money that was spent, yeah

 

Mr. Crowley
Ozzy Osbourne

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head?
Oh, Mr. Crowley, did you talk to the dead?
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
Yeah, you waited on Satan's call

Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure?
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred
Manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse?
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic, of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall

Was it polemically sent
l want to know what you meant
I want to know, I want to know what you meant, yeah

Timeless Ozzy song.  The lyrical progression and musical momentum really lends itself to a parody.  That is, if you're last name rhymes with Crowley.  Or is in fact Crowley.  I'll probably do one for CPAC stooge and Fox News commentator Monica Crowley.  Mrs. Crowley!

Please do not share this material with Pittsburgh sports journalist Adam Crowley.  On second thought, feel free.  He'd likely get a kick out of it.
