    It seems like the day before yesterday when I was dreaming about being on Mountain Stage. Here I am, twenty five years later, presenting you with some of my favorite memories from the program. In that timespan, my idols have become mentors and close friends. I am forever grateful to Larry Groce and everyone at Mountain Stage. Your program continues to amaze and inspire me. You have helped lift me up to places I was unable to see or reach. Thanks for the fine work over the years and thanks for the cape! Todd Burge (March 2016)

lyrics

Hip About Time
by Todd Burge ©2005 Bunj Jam-BMI


Tomorrow came in smelling just like today
Tasting the same as yesterday
I flicked my Timex
Then dropped kicked my Swiss
But the days (would) tick me off
The same old way


So cry baby cry, but don't ask who booed who
Get out of bed & stop hitting snooze
I'm so hip about time
He's not sleepin' in…..
I'm so hip about time
he's not sleepin’ in
I'm so hip about time


I was in a fog and Big Ben was sleepin' in
Don't say Fre're Jacque, Dor-mez vous
Ain't been kicking your ass too
So rock-a-bye baby on your rocky top
And if you forget that tune your misery will stop

Breaker Breaker


So cry baby cry, but don't ask who booed who
Get out of bed & stop hitting snooze
Now I'm so hip about time
He's not sleepin' in…..
I'm so hip about time
he's not sleepin’ in
I'm so hip about time


So cry baby cry, but don't ask who booed who
Get your ass up & stop hitting snooze
I'm so hip about time
Son-ne les matines
I'm so hip about time
Ding dang dong
I'm so hip about time
