Story Behind the Song
I was E-mailing Harry Shearer (one of the "Spinal Tap" creators), because he was dissing Rubert Murdock..I asked Harry if he was Rupurt's "Golden Boy"(Harry kinda works for FOX-doing "Simpsons" voice-overs)---He was slammin' the aussie, and only the inner circle gets away with that..except for Harry-he must have trained "Magillas" at hand, at all times..Anyway, what price fame and fortune??? Our hero gets off easier than most....
Lyrics
GOLDEN BOY
We've got what we need, cuz we've sown the seed for the Golden Boy
We've come so far, he's our shinin' star, he's our Golden Boy
Don't send him to the street, & force him to compete,
Cuz we're gettin' by, and we cast the die for our Golden Boy
We cut the deal, and we greased the wheel for our Golden Boy
We'll make it or bust, we put all our trust in our Golden Boy
We'll stepback and say "Hooray", cuz he's perfect in every way
& You must concede, that we have the need for a Golden Boy
2X (Ah,ah, the Golden Boy)
We're standing by our guns, cuz he's the chosen one
Altho I can’t recall why he gets our all, the Golden Boy
He's workin, he's workin it, the boy with the golden touch
He's workin. he's workin it , you know he loves us so much
Sometimes I've got to wonder, if it's a blessing and a curse, but
He's here to serve, all we deserve, this Golden Boy
Musical Interlude (we hope...)
So we put him on a shelf, and try to see ourself
So wink and then nod, and check your facade, You little Golden Boy
When the glitter is gone, it’s time to move on for the Golden Boy
Cuz the newness has faded, and our thoughts have turned jaded for Golden Boy
But if we get into a jam, he's our sacraficial lamb,
And we'll weep our tears, and then check our peers for our new Golden Boy
We'll admit our defeat, and start combin' the streets for a Golden Boy
They come and they go' so on with the show , and our Golden Boy
