I write many parodies for guest speakers and colleagues at Rotary but this time I wrote one for myself. It is to the tune of "That's Entertainment" (from the MGM musical The Band Wagon and later used in MGM's 1970s compilation of its great musicals from the 30s ,40s and 50s).


A Salute to Public Relations The Tune: That’s Entertainment

I have the most wonderful job Stand above all the rest of the mob How to help the most ne’er do well slob? Public Relations!



Your firm could be right on the brink Your own mom comes and tells you: You stink! What to do? That’s the time you should think: Public Relations!



You stand all alone with your back to the wall. You’re low as can be. You got nowhere to fall. Get up! Start running! Don’t crawl In the worst kind of snafu It’s me who can help you.



The spin, not the shape you are in Helps you win friends so time to begin I’ll treat you like the dearest of kin If you’re up a tree Call Tom Hogarty Public Relations!
