You Could Sing the Phone Book

Randy Jackson, a judge on American Idol, has a favorite phrase to let a contestant know he thinks they have talent, "You could sing the phone book."

American Idol finally did it. They had someone sing the phone book. Well, actually the top ten sang a number with lyrics based on the contents of the yellow pages.

I have to say, it was hi. larry. us. And it was pretty good. I was channel hopping when I saw it, and I didn't see the beginning of the song, so I don't know who wrote the music or adapted the lyrics, but I'll bet they had a great time writing it.

I wouldn't buy it as a single, but good on American Idol for making fun of itself.
