Kevin Marshall's America
Albany Declared One of 10 “Dead Cities” in the United States (Capitol Confidential)
In light of this devastating news, I offer this tribute – in the form of a song I wrote the lyrics for and performed – to our dearly departed sister city across the Hudson.

STALK ME
Ryan Seacrest: Randy, what did you think of Kevin Marshall’s performance?
Randy Jackson: Kevin, what’s up, what’s going going down? You were kinda pitchy at times, but you worked it out dawg, mad props to you!
Kara DioGuardi: I just couldn’t take my eyes off that swank tattoo on your shoulder. I’m sorry – were you singing? I was too busy daydreaming about writing a song for last year’s Idol winner. You did good.
Simon Cowell: Kevin – I’ve listened to William Hung, I’ve listened to Sanjaya Malakar, and I can certainly say, that if you ever got nominated on votefortheworst.com, there’s no way you’d ever get voted off our show. Clap clap clap.
Ryan Seacrest: Okay, now if you want to vote for Kevin, dial 1-555-ALIVE-AT-5. Calls are toll free from landlines, but we will gouge you for standard text messaging rates. Up next on Idol, it’s Don Rittner with his new hit, “Schenectady’s Just a Lot of History to Me.”
A.W.E.S.O.M.E.!!! Kevin, you are on fire!!
Chuck – read your post even before listening – great!!
I’ll have to listen at home, but I’m looking forward to it!
Karaoke song of the half decade!
This should be your song like how “Times Union Center Arena” to the tune of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly is performed by Peter Parma.
In fact, this would be the perfect foil to his performance of that song. Imagine them back to back (with yours second)? GENIUS!
Hey Kevin-
Great song! (You forgot to mention that Albany has a giant dog
that sits upon on a building downtown that has a blank stare…just like Governor Paterson and the rest of those twits at the Capitol!)
Greg
Brilliant. Makes me want to “pour out a 40 for my dead homie.”
Love it…..ha ha ha.
Cheers for Erastus Corning. Not only a cool name, but longest serving mayor “of a major American city!”
Kevin, your speaking voice was much more impressive than I thought it would be and the song hilarious.
Greg, that’s because that dog is in Menands, not Albany. May Nipper live long and prosper. (I hate “Star Trek” but I love Nipper.)
Aweseome. I’m with @derryX, this would be an excellent compliment to any number of Peter’s songs.
Fantabulous!!! I love it!
