We're Loud! (A parody of NBC's "Proud as a Peacock" promo)

I was bored yesterday, and so I wasted a little time putting this video together for fun. I have combined the "We're Loud!" jingle with the showgirl version of the NBC promo.

We're LOUD! ah huh say it again,
NBC
We're LOUD!
We're in last place,
LOUD!
We're gonna fall right on our face
LOUD!
Since Freddy came our ratings always stayed the same
An 18 rating, a 14 share,
Bet ya wonder if we care
NO!
We're just proud to be NBC,
We're LOUD!
We're livin in the past,
LOUD!
The bottom's droppin' out real fast
(LOUD!)
Of our boring shows, just watch us jam 'em up your nose
We don't care, it's all there, NBC is always there,
We're not just proud, weeee're also LOUD!
We're LOUD!
We're louder than the rest
So LOUD!
It doesn't matter we're not the best
LOUD!
We're gonna screw around and run this network in the ground
The peacock's dead, so thank you, Fred
Yeah! Thanks a whole lot!
NBC, Proud as a Peacock!

An 18 rating and a 14 share?

Some net execs would give their left arm for that today.

We're loud! We're living in the past *cut to vid of Jay Leno*...I could see that happening

RCA TK 44 AT SECOND :20??

@ShermansAlley They should be.

This parody was created by the EXACT SAME people who produced NBC's "Proud As A Peacock" campaign (same ad agency, same production staff, same performers as in the original promos ... down to the last detail).

Back then, people had grapefruits!

@strandedbuckeye YEAH THANKS A WHOLE LOT

[strandedbuckeye]

Thanks for the laughs!

Someone lost their job over this, I bet.

And I hope they felt it was worth it. :D

@tjveil I was never even affiliated with NBC and I was given a tape with this song in the late 80's I would certainly say they did not get them all

[bakerandbaker1]

MyNetwork TV is a cable affiliate for Fox stations, like WSBK TV 38 for WBZ in Boston. It's an overflow channel, nothing more. NBC is third out of three in my mind, if only because of a lousy primetime lineup. Give NBC shows that air on CBS, Fox, or even ABC they're #1 rather easily with news and sports unrivaled on network television today.

[UsonianAC]

@bakerandbaker1 Yeah, and MyNetworkTV doesn't even consider itself to be a television network anymore.

[bakerandbaker1]

CW doesn't and shouldn't count...and neither should Fox.

Anything wrong with the fact I can remember the lyrics to this more clearly than those of the original song?
