I used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=8775\">sing with him<\/a> all the time at his gigs in Chicago, and he wrote a duet for him and me called &#8220;You and I Are Just About to Fall In Love&#8221; which appears on his album <i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patmccurdy.com\/album.php?8\">Show Tunes<\/a><\/i>.  On occasion, we would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=8063\">clamor into a photo booth together<\/a> for mayhem and hijinx. Pat has written an anthem for the Packers, and here is the official music video.  It has his goofy humor and frankly I can&#8217;t get enough of it.  The manly manly background singers.  The electric guitar section.  Pat in lederhosen is an image I won&#8217;t get rid of any time soon.  And I especially love the ridiculously stupid and satisfying musical change in the very last line when he sings &#8220;Green&#8221;, as he heads into the big finish. <\/p>\n<p>I got no horse in this race, I&#8217;m a Patriots fan, but any time I get to promote my friends I take it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Super Bowl Sunday.
