Comedy set to song: TV meteorologists' forecasts freaking out you, your kids and grandma, too? Snow on the first day of spring (as if !)? Weather that's wicked and amping up your fear factor? This is your song, from the 2010 Tulsa Gridiron, performed to the Curtis Mayfield soul standard "People Get Ready" by a line-up of "TV weather 'casters" - John Cory, Olivia Duhon, Jay Krottinger, Meredith Lee Weger and Dave Garcia, with a spoken intro by Ross Adkins.
Original lyrics (below) by John Cory.
People get ready, there's some weather comin'
You don't need to go out, you just stay tuned in
All you need is us, to know a storm's a comin'
We'll make it scary, so you won't get bored
So people get ready, there's some snow in Lawton
Travelin' the turnpike to OKC
It's comin' soon, you better hide your children
Your pets and your Grandma, from the cold north breeze
There ain't no chance, for the channel-hopper
Who would leave us behind
because our tale gets old?
Have pity on those, whose attentions have wandered
There ain't no hiding place from this comin' storm
People get ready, there's some weather comin'
You don't need to go out, you just stay tuned in
All you need is us, to know a storm's a comin'
We'll make it scary, so you won't get bored.
2010 Tulsa Gridion Director: Rebecca Ungerman. Producer: Kerry Malone.
