So on episode four they play the whole thing not just the clip! I recorded it and enjoying listening over and over right now so had to share here. Ha sorry
Awesome! I wonder how this came about…. :)
im more interested in jack using this to springboard to some serious Jazz explorations …mlet me put this out there as a fantastic source for exploring the dialogue and concepts of jazz artistry …. http://www.openculture.com/2015/04/leonard-bernsteins-introduction-to-jazz.html …. lets get a little hop in our step shall we???
dare you to find the movie Clifford with martin short.. anyone? no? nevermind. nice beat though, lets come back at midnight and hear the whole song! hahaha
well…..ya!
Great tune, and the show was far better than expected. Jiminy Glick’s return interview with Larry David certainly was the highlight of the show for me.
It is quirky and I like it. Keep the surprises coming!
And why not?!! :-D I say it’s an honor to write the theme song for the Maya and Marty show. They are brilliant skit comedians and I hope it a hit! Together they’ll bring some of that hilarious parody type humor to tv like SNL used to do really well and Martin’s characters from Second City Television show did to perfection in the 80’s…music sounds just right for this project, Jack, LillieMae, Dom, Fats, and Dean! Congrats.
Go Lillie Mae!!!
