JoeyBoots 04-12-2004, 07:03 AM It has begun.....Dan is a multi-talented dude who can come up with great lyrics off the top of his head for any kinda parody song...he can sit in front of a computer and in minutes mix a song that is genius in its completion....he has a photographic memory when it comes to movie lines, song lyrics, STERN SHOW history. Dan has awesome technical expertise and a true shot for the job......9 more peeps to go after Dan finishes his week......I wish him well. :hw:

JKGroups 04-12-2004, 07:29 AM Agreed ... he was great & can actually contribute instead of leech (like John did).

An interesting Dan.

Anarchess 04-12-2004, 10:11 AM Fantastic Job, Dan!!! Congratulations, you came off as smart and funny and talented. Yay!! Best of luck. Not sure who else has a week coming up but it will be hard to top you in this contest! Have a great week :kissy:
DJinAC 04-12-2004, 11:04 AM Way to go Dan the parody from this morning was awesome.. :D
Ipokesmot 04-12-2004, 12:07 PM Good luck to you Dan!
Hope to see you there soon.
My clip arrived at the studio this morning from AZ according to the usps website.
Now the wait is just killing me heheh.
smoopappy777 04-12-2004, 01:09 PM He did good, but luckily for the rest of us who are trying out for the job, it has several other aspects to it. Like bits, on air prescence, pranks and celebrity interviewing.
Personaly, I don't think he has a good on-air voice. He sounds like an over-smoking stand up comic. I'm not ragging on him... just giving my oppinion.

Jealousy rears its ugly head from the person who keeps claming he's a shoe-in to win. Coincedence?
smoopappy777 04-12-2004, 01:20 PM Jealousy rears its ugly head from the person who keeps claming he's a shoe-in to win. Coincedence?
An accusation is thrown at a person who clearly stated that he was simply giving his honest oppinion. Life sucker? Yes.
***I've given my oppinion in my post above. I'm not going to sit here all day like you will, and bicker back and forth about shit, that thanks to you, will eventually have nothing to do with my first post. ***
How about some intelligent, philosophical conversation... instead of ass-kissing a bb favorite?
Bicker on... but I meant what I said in the paragraph in asterisks.

Dan the Song Parody Man 04-12-2004, 01:27 PM Thanks to everyone for their kind words of support and encouragement! Hopefully you'll be enteretained by the rest of my contributions throughout the week. I configured a laptop that I borrowed from a friend to perform much like the PC that I do most of my production at home with, so that I can create "on the fly". I had a bunch of things prepared for the week here, but I decided to just wing it and do a quick mix while I was here, to show them that I can think on my feet and work spontaneously. For anyone who missed it, here's what I came up with on the spur of the moment, recorded on the laptop in the back room.

I'll post some of my prepared material that I opted not to use later when I get it uploaded.

lntimid8or 04-12-2004, 01:27 PM After just the 1st day of the contest, with 4 more days to go with Dan, i think its a waste of time to let others try. Dan raised the bar so high, not many will be as nearly as good as Dan to win. I think Howards gonna get sick of 75% of others and will probably get rid of them by the 3rd day.
Good job Dan

Good job Dan
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but from just the potential candidates that I can think of off of the top of my head, there is a vast ocean of talent, and each person brings their own style and personal flair to the table. No matter what happens, I'm sure that its going to be a real tight race, with many surprises along the way.
Here's my new FCC anthem that I hope Howard plays this week. I enlisted the help of a few very talented singers to pull this one off!

Timmy 04-12-2004, 02:11 PM Do you now have access to all the shows audio clips that they use? Like that Congresswomen from New Mexico?
You can finally do that janet Jackon "Nasty Boys" mix wh her clips.
smoopappy777 04-12-2004, 02:13 PM Dan The SPM,
Good luck. I can see we think alike. I just bought a laptop (that I've always needed anyway) and plan on using it during my week if I get picked. Not just for audio production, but to organize bit, prank, and celbrity ideas. I've been using my Treo for this since the job opening was announced, so I have a bunch of frigin memo files backing up.
I bet you came up with that "Oh KC" parody idea two months ago, when that song was aired during a show. I thought of the same thing as I heard it a week ago while I listened to that January re-play on my computer. I just deleted that line of text from my "Song Parodies" memo file. :)
But that's a good example of why people trying for the job should keep their ideas to themselves.
My coment above was deliberately based on all I'd heard so far, which is your voice and one song parody. I'm sure I'll have plenty of compliments by Wednesday, and I won't hold them back.
Chip
mariier33 04-12-2004, 02:26 PM Dan you did awesome on the show today! I wish you alot of luck!
Cabbie 04-12-2004, 02:29 PM great job this am....dan is a pimp////

Good job Dan
I think Richard Christy (KC - GUYS GUYS GUYS) will be very good also. I'm also curious to what Joey has in store.
spreedogg 04-12-2004, 03:27 PM Hey it's cool Dan got a week..nice job man..good luck to all members from the site who are trying to win a week.
JoeyBoots 04-12-2004, 03:36 PM Here is today's segment with Dan. :hw:
ronnie dio 04-12-2004, 03:58 PM I'm also curious to what Joey has in store.
boot's will bring it...no doubt ,as will rev bob and sal...no doubt :yes: ...gonna be a great competion
p.s..dan,ya kicked ass today,good way to start it all off
ROYSPHLEGM 04-12-2004, 04:29 PM just listened dan. It went well. I gota say I'm hoping a regular (not famous) fan wins it. You or Boots or a complete unknown would be great. I like cabbie, sal, and rev but how effin awesome would it be for a guy to go from listener to part of the greatest radio show of all times. Good luck man.
Dan the Song Parody Man 04-12-2004, 05:56 PM Here is today's segment with Dan. :hw:
Thanks for postin that! HAHA, they dumped "my prostate gland"
Oh, KC it's so special when you use your hand
And give me reach-arounds while you hit my prostate gland
leather3 04-12-2004, 07:48 PM Great job Dan...Sounds like Howard wanted to hire you on the spot.
Schnoffle 04-12-2004, 09:25 PM You are amazingly creative! Listening to the FCC song and diggin' it big time, humming (!!) along right now... :)
TheBlueprint 04-12-2004, 09:39 PM Congrats Dan.
Loving the FCC song. I don't think it would get too much airtime though considering it's a little slow and it might slow down the momentum of the show. Neverthless, it's really good.
Keep up the good work!
:hw:
Bob Thorney 04-12-2004, 10:19 PM I liked the KC song parody, Dan! :p

"I'm not a gay!" - KC Armstrong
Timmer 04-12-2004, 10:59 PM BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!
Even though paodies are his strength, he still hit a homer with that KC. song...
I am interested to see how the rest of the weel plays out.
Everyone will have strengths and weaknesses...

Dan this link seems to be broken.
Great appearance, dan. I hope you get the job!!!!
:D
JoeyBoots 04-13-2004, 07:43 AM this link seems to be broken.
Great appearance, dan. I hope you get the job!!!!
:D
the link is fine.....sucks that they cant use the song anymore....what aired yesterday was fine.
ok,, cool.....took a bit of working, but i got it.
for some odd reason the 1st few times i tried to get it i would get redirected to the SFN front page. !!!???
thanks, joey!
howard was just giving dan some props!
that "tom laughing" thing is funny!!!!
excellent week so far - and it's only day 2!

yeah HOWARD seems to have a hard-on for that guy who did that tom/laff song....he's a plumber in florida or something and HOWARD keeps saying HE wants to hire him.....weird.
Doctor Ivan 04-13-2004, 09:04 AM http://greetings.123city.net/TempPictures/40490.jpg
I can't believe he wouldn't allow all of that.
lntimid8or 04-13-2004, 11:26 AM That Karnac bit today didnt go over so well.
Anarchess 04-13-2004, 11:33 AM Not every bit can be hilarious, but it was a new approach for Dan and we gotta give him props for trying! All in all, nice day Dan! You will be fine for the rest of the week. We are pulling for ya :hw:
SanTropez1971 04-13-2004, 11:56 AM go Dan go, best of luck.

Yeah, i know every bit cant be hilarious. I think the bit didnt work because it was too intelligent for most of Howards audience, unless you went to harvard. I know at least 3 of them flew right over my head. Robin seemed to get the last 1 though.
Still a good job though.
Purity Knight 04-13-2004, 01:31 PM Yeah, i know every bit cant be hilarious. I think the bit didnt work because it was too intelligent for most of Howards audience, unless you went to harvard. I know at least 3 of them flew right over my head. Robin seemed to get the last 1 though.
Still a good job though.
Actually that's the exact feeling I got. I love Dan, but it almost came off a bit "Dennis Miller" in that the references were maybe a bit too 'heady' so to speak. I think playing wet farts would be more inline with THE SHOW listeners... :jj:
Still doing awesome Dan.
tipton 04-13-2004, 01:51 PM dan was also credited with the intro to the news today... but both the laughing tom track and that news intro were done by Richard Christy, whom if things work out with the Iced Earth tour and he gets his week will be tough to beat.

Richard Christy is gonna be tough to beat... all his stuff is awesome. Its funny, everytime HOWARD talks about him he calls him a differnet profession. "I think he's a postman". "I think he's an electrician". "I think he's a plummer".

Christy second from the left
Ipokesmot 04-13-2004, 06:46 PM I felt Dan's pain today, damn.... well still the rest of the week to go.
I'm confident my "Beavis & Butthead Visit the FCC" clip is funny, I just hope they play it soon.
Purity Knight 04-13-2004, 07:36 PM I'm confident my "Beavis & Butthead Visit the FCC" clip is funny
Now that's the funniest thing you've said on this board.
Ipokesmot 04-13-2004, 07:46 PM Now that's the funniest thing you've said on this board.
I've only provided a few-second sample on this board, how would you know heh.
Do some voices, make a clip, and impress me ;)
Dan's clip was funny also.. I don't know what happened with the Sternac bit. I would guess Howard usually rehearses bits like that, so maybe the timing was off since it was read cold.
JoeyBoots 04-14-2004, 07:46 AM awesome segment today....the story is an instant artie classic.....excellent. :hw:
JoeyBoots 04-14-2004, 07:53 AM ba bam....a double dose of artie!
dan hits it outta the park today.

bigmike75 04-14-2004, 10:40 AM That story today about artie was nothing great. It was the same kind of artie story people have had scince he joined the show. nothing new.
hope dan knows a fat,retarded,high talking,studdering.crackhead,
midget for the whackpack.
JoeyBoots 04-14-2004, 11:28 AM .....

I'm packing now. I'm already running late. Had to take care of a job right at the end of the day. dammit!! I still need to straighten out some scheduling issues for tomorrow morning that just popped up to screw with my plans.
anyway, I'm off to pickup Dan's wackpacker and bring him to NYC. He lives in my area so I volunteered to do the driving. I should of snapped a photo the other day, but you can be sure I'll have some for tomorrow. "Dan's struck gold" - KC
Dan's been doing a great job. anybody know who's up next week?

you're such a prick!
:)
just got home.. could someone post the Dan/Andy clip from todays show? Andy was real disappointed. fucker should have gotten to bed early, but he insisted on hitting the bar last and downed several double martinis. he could barely stay awake today. he's normally much more animated.
We saw Quinton Tarrentino & Darrel Hanna, plus KC gave us Vegas promotional Artie Lange baseball bats. Artie even came to the green room during the break and signed them. It was a fun trip. I'm going to bed now.

Dan the Song Parody Man 04-15-2004, 07:31 PM Hey Everybody!
It's been a great week so far, despite the ups and downs! I have a few things to say about the Sternack bit, which I'll post later...I'm confident that when you get a look at Andy, my prospective wackpacker on the E! show, you feel diffferent about his potential.
I was included in the writer's meeting after the show today, which was an unexpected honor, and that was as awesome peek inside the inner workings and planning that will be going into the Vegas Shows. Sorry, but I can't divulge any more info other than the fact that it will be an incredible time for all who listen, or better yet, attend.
Everyone at the show has been phenomenal, making me feel right at home. Tomorrow will mark the end of the fastest, and most sleepless week that I can remember! Best of luck to everyone who follows me in the weeks to come, as you will have the experience of a lifetime.
Talk to you all soon!
Tony Fox NYC 04-15-2004, 07:44 PM Best of luck, Dan!
I'm hoping that they play my *controversial* demo and that I get chosen for an audition as well.
Maybe I will see you on the battlefield!

Whether you get the job or not Dan, I envy your experience being so close to THE SHOW. That's an amazing honor to be recognized by the greatest and most groundbreaking radio program ever and Howard himself. Congrats dude. Criticism from others can never take that away from you.

I concur :cool: You should get this Dan....
SPM has my vote so far :D
RichfromBoston 04-16-2004, 03:44 PM Good luck, bro. Any idea who's next? Maybe CAbbie?
Anarchess 04-16-2004, 07:38 PM Great Job, Dan! Congratulations on a great week :hw: :tu:
ghostwriter 04-18-2004, 05:42 PM Good luck, bro. Any idea who's next? Maybe CAbbie?
I swear if Cabbie gets a shot I will not listen that week..I cant stand that cry baby piece of shit! He is only getting a shot because he works for their station. Boots deserves a Shot more so then Cabbie.
