Either,
NBC is closing its eyes to a situation it does not wish to acknowledge
or
They are unaware of the calibur of disaster indicated by a drop to fourth place.

Wellllll we got trouble my friend.
Yes we trouble right here at NBC
With a capital 'T'
And that rhymes with 'G'
As in "Gee we're screwed"

Yeah we got trouble,
Trouble right here at NBC,
I know you dont care,
But our network share is just one dude!

Well a few years ago we were sitting on top
With Seinfeld, Frasier and Friends.
Then those shows bailed
And the new ones failed
And it started a nasty trend

And the guy who passed on 'Lost'
Was promoted instead of tossed

And now the peacocks getting it from both ends!

Well we got trouble right here at NBC
With a capital 'T'
And that rhymes with 'G'
As in "Gee we're screwed"

Yeah we got trouble,
Right here at NBC,
I hate to disrespect,
But My lawers checked,
And I cant be sued!

(spoken)
And it's not just NBC folks, all of television is changing!
And we gotta change with it.

Tivo has people skipping past commercials, unlike the good old days when we just got up and left the room!

Then theres the internet! At this very moment your kids are on YouTube watching a cat on a toilet. Instead of watching that footage where it belongs... On the Fox Network!

And worst of all, tv's biggest night of the year is kicking off with a song and dance number performed by a host with limited musical ability!


Yeah we got trouble
(cant hear this line) ...trouble
We had a lot of viewers now we've got a few.
To prove things are going to he||,
We're relying on Howie Mandell.

With a capital 'T'
And that rhymes with 'G'
As in "Gee we're screwwwwwwwwwwwwwed!!!!!"

One of the best songs ever or the best song ever?
Enjoy!!!

I loved the Howie Mandel part.

P.S. your signature is gross

I just loved it all! Conan rocks, especially when he sings!
Hey whats wrong with my signature ? I think its awesome!

Blatantly bumping cos I spent like half an hour writing this out!

I must agree! I dont care what wnyone else says I lov emy signature, all the more awesome noe that I've met them!
Hmmmmm what would you do without me? Have a normal conversation every once in a while?

Haha.. Why does that sound so bad?! Normal conversations are over rated, lovely : )

Ooooooh now I dont feel so bad for my odd, odd behaviour!! Yay! Im saving you all from normal conversation! I have a purpose!!!! WOO HOO!!!! *Does happy dance*

I love the song! Thanks! When was it on the show? And SCZ your signature is very sexy! Yay, man on man action!

Conan should devote a whole show to singing. Only.
hehe ()

No problem at all. Best way in the world to waste half an hour! Glad it brought joy to all.
I also love my signature. I have no idea how anyone could find it gross but y'know whatever! Their problem not mine! Thank you
Hee hee I just watched the song again. Oh how I love it!!!!

He has to do the dance show first! I want to see the show where he just dances for an hour straight!!!!

How about dancing 'and' singing? Now that's a good show!!! LOL

best song ever!

Good job SCZ on transcribing it!!
After the spoken word and before the chorus, the back up people chant "He can't sing!" (But we all know he really can : D)
Oh and here's the line you missed (it's just scat, really)

Yeah, we got trouble
Tee-t-t-tr-tr-Trouble!

Thats what it sounded like to me but I wasnt sure if that was it of I just couldnt hear properly! Thanks a million!

MY GOD WOMAN YOUR AWESOME THANKS FOR THE SONG!!!!!

I liked the monologue he did before the song, it was very reminiscent of Late Night's monologue.

And that just made it all worth it!!!!
I like being awesome!!!! Or atleast someone saying that Im awesome!!!!

I WISH I COULD PAY YOU FOR TYPING OUT THE SONG.

...but I'm broke as h.ell. xD

And your signature owns all others. I love seeing those studmuffins make out. Other girls at my school are all "ew whats wrong with you? Guys kissing is gross"

They don't know what they're missing.

Awwwh your joy is all the payment that I need! But if people want to send cash I wont refuse!
I know. Stephen and Paul making out is one of the hottest things in the universe!!! (all the better now that Ive met them! lol) I dont get why people dont enjoy it! And I definitely dont get how they could be grossed out by it! Its amazing! Mmmmmmmm Stephen and Paul!!!!

That is so true! I don't get it! How can anyone think that two guys making out is gross?!??!?! It is fantastic!

If theres one thing Ive learnt its that Irish people are luckier out of Ireland but if theres another thing its that people are weird! Seriously! Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert making out! BRILLIANT!!!!
But each to their own I guess and I certainly found mine!

Another blatant bump just because I spent forever typing this out!!!

No problem at all!
Just glad to spread the Conan joy and love!
Its my only goal in life!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write out the song! I love that song. It's amazing =)

That's a fantastic goal in life!

Aint it just! And all I have to do is talk constantly about Conan! And it's not like I dont do that anyway!

I agree. Is there anythig better than talking about Conan? Well maybe two guys making out!

And once again we are totally out of topic!

So would mine!!!

Who needs to be on topic when you talk about Conan or two hot guys making out!!!
Dya know what the best thing in the world would be?
Conan and Colbert making out!!!
My mind would MELT!!!!

Hmmmmm what are the chances of being able to organise that?
They're friends! It would be brilliant! Best tv ever!!!

I watched the Emmy Awards a few days ago.
And I couldn't catch what Conan was singing at the opening monologue.
I was wondering what he was singing....
When it comes to songs, I am not good at listening lyrics.
Thanks to sweet cone zone, I could understand what he was singing.
Your transcription was really helpful.

Well, I hope I can understand what conan said everything someday......

How much would we have to pay??

I dont know but I know I'd pay it!
And be very happy in doing so!

Yes, me too! And I wouldn't care about the costs!

Here's a link to download the mp3: http://rapidshare.de/files/32232862/Conan_...-27-06.mp3.html


I should've thought of making the mp3 sooner than 2 weeks after the fact. oh well
