This week’s song is a collaboration with famed musical-theatre song-writer, Drew Gasparini. Drew, whose new show, Crazy Just Like Me, won the best of fest award at the New York Musical Theatre festival, wrote the music to this song, based on my lyrics. It was a great experience working with Drew who really challenged me to keep changing the lyrics to be funnier and funnier. The version of the song below, is NOT the final version. Based on feedback from this performance in Adam Gwon’s workshop I changed the lyrics again so that they would be funnier. Check out the version we presented at the workshop:

INSPIRATION:
Drew and I worked on this song mostly via e-mail until we got together at his apt. He wanted to write an “I AM,” cabaret song based on an embarrassing event that happened in class. I thought of this one moment that I witnessed in High School where a teacher embarrassed a kid for staring at her boobs. I took that idea and ran with it.
