Stay Classy Gigolo Joe

So the opening couple of lines of this one just popped into my head recently. It seemed like a really silly novelty sort of thing so I kind of dismissed it at first. But then I found myself continuing to sing it so I thought, all right, let's see if I can make a song out of this. It kind of seemed like the type of track that had the potential to be a totally embarrassing train-wreck if I wasn't careful. I have lots of old cassette recordings of silly songs from my younger days that seemed really funny at the time, but became kind of cringe-inducing to listen to later. I think the key is you can't be "too cool" for the song. You can't be too ironically detached or feel like you're above it. The only thing to do is jump right in and try to really sell it. So I did my best to do justice to this silly idea I had and I think it ended up coming out pretty cool. Hope you enjoy it.
