My 2010 Holiday Greeting

What?!? An actual post on my blog?!? Yes indeed...Happy holidays, everybody! Here's an old chestnut dusted off for this year's holiday greeting...It goes out to all you lonely fruitcakes out there...PIECE OF FRUITCAKE!



"PIECE OF FRUITCAKE"
Music and Lyrics by: Mandel Ilagan

Here I'm sitting on my plate,
One piece of old fruitcake,
Everybody's going home right now

My friends have all been eaten up
Washed down with egg nog cups
Sitting in somebody's tummy now

What do I do?
My Yuletide cheer and joy have come and gone
Where do I go?
My rum-filled blues just keep on going on

Here I'm sitting on my plate
One piece of old fruitcake
Filled with candied goodies for your tongue

Some green stuff on the outside
Some red stuff on the inside
On top a cheery that's been plucked young

Please don't leave me
Next to the package from Hickory Farms
The cheese smells bad
The sausage brings my cherries bodily harm!

I wished you, "Merry Christmas,"
Was sweet and so good
I brought in some Joy to the World like a fruitcake should
Why don't you eat me now?
Have your cake and fun...
A little bit more nutmeg never hurt no one

Someone bite me
My nuts are falling off onto the floor...
I'm crumbling here
My gooey texture's getting dry and sore

I brought you luscious goodness
Even had some raisins too
I didn't even say a word when you cut me in two...
Please gobble all of me
I'm almost alcohol-free
A little bit more nutmeg never hurt no one

Here I'm sitting on my plate
One piece of old fruitcake
The fun is over 'cause the party's done
A little bit more nutmeg never hurt no one

For those of you that missed it the first go round...

Here's my appearance last year playing piano on "The Price is Right!"


I do a lot of waving at the camera...

An intergalactic holiday greeting for all of you...

Happy holidays!

It's been five years since my friends I released this, but I think it still holds up...


It's still one of my favorite things that I've done with my friends. Happy holidays, everybody!

I have a game on the Wii!

Well, in the continuing saga of things I'd never think would happen to me...I discovered that my pricing game "1/2 Off," is one of the games featured on the latest edition of "The Price is Right" for the Wii and the PC.

This week, I finally had a chance to play the game...Here's the video of my attempt to win $10,000 in fake cash!


I wonder how I'll fare when I play "Press Your Luck!"
