A raucous pseudo-big band swing number from the show "Fame Game", with cynical vocals.
|
"Fame Game" is a spoof on TV talent competitions like "The X Factor." A cheap reporter sings of his cynical and selfish delight as he exposes the scandalous foibles of the great, good, and famous in society.
|
In this number the slimy reporter has just connived with one of the "Fame Game" competitors to publicly accuse another competitor of being unfaithful, thus spoiling his chances of winning!

Chos:
We'll build him up, we'll pull him down,
We'll change his whole world around.
Can't you hear that jingle, jangle sound?
Exclusives all around!
Verse:
I love dishing the dirt,
I love people being frank.
Football players and lap dancers,
Are just money in the bank.
The best feeling, when someone's caught it,
Is faxing back and yelling out,
"I got it!"
Avarice and subterfuge are qualities that I hold dear,
I believe my adoration for the job comes over loud and clear.
Chos:
We'll build him up, we'll pull him down,
We'll change his whole world around.
Can't you hear that jingle, jangle sound?
Exclusives all around!
Verse:
I'm so flattered you've taken this to me,
Is it true, really?
Like it, love it, print it on Friday.
Front page! Ooh!
Other allegations are fine,
We don't want a court case,
So we have to toe the line!
I promise you that by the week's out,
It will all be there in ink!
And the public will very soon by changing how they think.
(The public changes how it thinks.)
Chos:
We'll build him up, we'll pull him down,
We'll change his whole world around.
Can't you hear that jingle, jangle sound?
Exclusives all around!
You can try secrecy,
Flying to Rio.
You can't hide
From the Puppet Master!
