This song was in part inspired by, and takes its title from an episode of The Simpsons entitled “Marge on the Lam.” In this episode actor Troy McClure introduces himself by saying “You might remember me from such tele-thons as ‘Out with Gout '88’ and ‘Let’s Save Tony Orlando’s House.’”
In a Q&...
[Verse 1]
"We proudly welcome Tony Orlando"
The state fair marquee reads
Inside 1,000 people with yellow ribbons sing
And clap on one and three
[Chorus]
Watch him burn
He's dropping to his knees
Watch him burn
A medley, hits from Grease
Watch him burn
He never fails to please
[Verse 2]
Meanwhile in Tahoe, outside Casa Tony
Wetting rags in gasoline
A jealous Frankie Valli says, "Dawn, I want you back"
Lights a match and counts to three
[Chorus]
Watch it burn
Reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
Humming "Sherry," splits the scene
Watch it burn
Reluctantly he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
Humming "Sherry," splits the scene
[Outro]
