There are just some folks it's impossible to hate, no matter how talented they are
(I invoke for a moment Amanda Green's heart-warming song, "Every time a friend of mine succeeds, a little bit of me just dies inside.")
No, Adam Gwon has never made me die inside. He's too damn nice. And funny. And talented. Oops. I've just broken a cardinal rule of musical theatre writing and said in the dialogue what I'm going to say in the lyric. Too bad.
And no, this is not a paid advertisement, I gushed on my own dime. And time (my Daily Ditty 30 minute rule).
No music for this one - make up your own!
GOIN' GOIN' GWON
Who has won every award?
Had shows in many a venue?
The list of singers who’ve sung him is a Broadway Who’s Who menu.
Every song pops.
He never stops.
He’s goin’ goin’ Gwon.
(His Ordinary Days
Delivers in extraordinary ways.
He’s the mind-blowin’ ever-goin’ Gwon.)
He’s funny and cute -
Even his bio is charming.
From “Gwoncerts” to webseries, his productivity is alarming.
Both tunes and words -
Sleeping’s for the birds!
He’s goin’ goin’ Gwon.
(Such an open-minded guy -
We even wrote a song once, he and I.
That easy-goin’, ever-glowin’ Gwon.)
In the garden of Eden, this Adam
Wouldn’t be eating apples with Eve.
He’d be banging out songs with the other Adam and Steve.
Writing hits upon hits -
Hope he never quits.
Keep a’ goin’ goin’ Gwon!
HAPPY B'DAY ADAM!
