A New Happy Birthday Song with Rekha Shankar
“No crust or bust, it’s your birthday.”
SERIES SEVEN PREMIERE! Rekha Shankar (Dropout, Smartypants, Game Changer) joins 108.9 The Hawk as Amelia Dorch, Val Verde’s number one songwriter!
Amelia has written three James Bond themes, collaborated with Bono, survived the recording studio with Axl Rose and created one of the rarest private-press albums in Val Verde history. But now she faces her greatest challenge yet: replacing “Happy Birthday.”
That’s right. Amelia has written a brand-new birthday anthem, and it’s got everything the original forgot: pepperoni, extra sauce, unbelievable pizza deals and the immortal words “crust or bust.”
PLUS: Art Spart returns from online rehab, the Val Verde Dollar Cinemadrome unveils its latest dollar movies, Lower Hog Street declares independence, Whisp prepares his long-range missiles, Stevie Wonder waits angrily in the green room and a new PSA from Geoff “The Angry Man” Garlock
108.9 The Hawk. Val Verde’s second favorite classic rock radio station.
Sponsored by: Morgensons Crematoriums, Shetland Creameries and Sharney’s.
Rekha Shankar is a comedian, writer and performer known for her work on Dropout, including Smartypants. Her television writing credits include Grand Crew, Digman! and Animaniacs, and she previously served as Head Writer at CollegeHumor.
