Was I having a nightmare fueled by sleep deprivation and Kara DioGuardi's sudden obsession with the word ''artistry''? Was it a gauzy dream floating on the dulcet wings of my iTunes download of Allison Iraheta's ''Papa Was a Rolling Stone''? No, actually, it was just a special Thursday-night edition of the American Idol results-show extravaganza!
In honor of the truly bizarre telecast — and a very classy exit by Texas oil roughneck Michael Sarver — I present this week's Idol-themed ditty, set to the tune of Marvin Gaye's ''Heard It Through the Grapevine.'' Click here if you want to sing along with a little musical accompaniment; heck, even if you're not sure you've got enough soul to successfully pull off a Motown number, just remember it didn't stop the guy whose name rhymes with Hot Back-on-fire. (Oh snap!)
Ooh, I wonder if the judges knew
That they came across so rude and crude
As they faked it through deliberation
While the oil-rig guy — he begged for salvation
It took me by surprise I must say,
To see Matt land in danger's way
Don't you know that...
The results show's on the decline
Now the kids don't even sing live
Oh the results show's on the decline
And I'm just about to lose my mind.
Dancing Paula, yeah.
They say that a man ain't supposed to cry,
So the roughneck holds his tears inside
Losing Idol's not the end you see
But he lost to Megan Corkrey
Watch this Hybrid video from Ford
Damn Simon's T-shirt has got me floored
Oh yeah...
The results show's on the decline
Maybe Nigel shouldn't have resigned
Oh the results show's on the decline
And I'm just about to lose my mind.
Go home, Kara, yeah.
