Did you know the Morning Edition theme song has lyrics?!! Well, it does and here they are for your sing-a-long pleasure! — Tanya
The Morning Edition Theme
Oh I hate to get up in the morning
Please don’t wake me up this morning
Let me stay in bed … and … sleep (I don’t like to daydream)
****
The world can turn without me today
And if you wake me up I can say
That we will not be friends… for… long
****
Remember when… we used to sleep forever?
Dreams… floating as light as feathers
When… will those delightful dreams
Come back again?
Tell me when!!!
****
For crying out loud, please would you shut up
No news, no features, I’ve had enough …
But, say, who wrote your great … theme … song???

LISTEN TO EPISODE 4.5
fakecriterions:
If you enjoy what you see here, there is a podcast you really should be listening to, How Did This Get Made, hosted by Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas. For each episode, they choose an incredibly bewildering film and try to figure out how the thing ever came into being.
For the next one, they’ve chosen the upcoming Nicolas Cage sure-to-be-insta-classic, Drive Angry. What is this film about? Nic breaks out of hell to drive big cars and stop satanists from sacrificing his granddaughter.
NOW WHAT HAS THIS TO DO WITH ME, THE FAKE CRITERIONS READER, you are surely asking yourself?
Make a cover for Drive Angry! Do it!
:: If you read us on Tumblr, tag your post with “fake criterions” and “drive angry,” we’ll see it and then reblog your work.
:: If you read Fake Criterions on google reader or something of that nature, email your Drive Angry cover to fakecriterions[at]gmail.com and we’ll post it with your name.
There are no prizes for this, it’s just for fun. We’re excited to see what you folks can do!
Also, did we mention that it was shot in 3-D? And has William Fichtner? There you go. Photoshop it, make it out of macaroni and photograph it, whatever. Just go nuts.](http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh10wueXZD1qf1yxjo1_400.jpg)
