Jerry Springer (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Jerry Springer" is a 1998 song written by "Weird Al" Yankovic. The song is a parody of Barenaked Ladies' 1998 hit song "One Week". Released on Yankovic's 11th studio album Running with Scissors, the song describes Al's obsession with watching The Jerry Springer Show and describes some of the recurring things that happen on the show, such as fights, cursing, married couples cheating, and how it's very addicting. Jerry Springer, the lyrics tell us, "puts the 'sin' in syndication."

During a "musical intermission" of the song, a man and woman speak out a dialogue that would likely be found on the show:

  • Man: "Baby, I've been sleeping with your sister."
  • Woman: "Uh! Well, which one?"
  • M: "All of them."
  • W: "Well, I've been sleeping with your best friend Jake."
  • M: "Yeah? W-well me too (woman gasps)! And I've been sleeping with your dog Woofie (dog barks)."
  • W: "Woofie, you bitch! (A bleep is played while the woman says 'bitch', but the word can still be heard fully) And, I've been sleeping with your pet goat! (Goat bleats)"
  • M: "That goat doesn't love you!"
