The JBJBs have recorded a rockin' version of our song "Verizon on the Horizon" at JBJB Studio One. Jules and I wrote the song shortly after we found out that we were one of the families in the running for the My Home 2.0 makeover and FiOS upgrade. At the time, Verizon, FiOS and the makeover possibility were figuratively shining on the horizon of our family's technology challenges and the song was just a natural result of that excitement.
(Listen to song in above player, or click here to download MP3.)
After rehearsing it with Julia, I knew that with a little luck down the road it might have some commercial possibilities with our friends at Verizon. The song was catchy and simple enough . . . and the chorus "Verizon on the Horizon" captured the rollout that FiOS is now doing community by community with their superior product.
Jules and I recently recorded and mixed the song in just a few days at the new studio — leaving it with a raw, high energy, rock feel. We premiered the song at the Wurtz block party and everyone seems to really like the result: rockin' crazy guitars, banging percussion, a catchy tune and a nice JBJB vocal duet between Julia and her dad.
We hope you like it too! C'mon Verizon . . . can't you just hear this in a commercial?!
Hope everyone has an awesome summer!
Jerry and Julia (the JBJBs)
Lyrics, Verizon on the Horizon:
Verizon, on the horizon
Verizon, day's gonna shine like the sun You know it was a rainy day had nothing to do—ia then I saw my daughter—a her name is Jul-i-a and she said . . . Verizon, on the horizon Verizon, day's gonna shine like the sun you know I was really close really close to comatose my daughter said you need a dose a heavy dose of FiOS and she said . . . Verizon, on the horizon
Verizon, day's gonna shine like the sun

Great stuff, Jerry and Jules! I like the guitars and percussion, reminds me of the Velvet Underground a bit. Love the album name you've got in the mp3 data, too...I'm starting to build a nice little collection of JBJBs on my mp3 player!

You know those songs you keep singing all the time -- the ones that get stuck in your head? This is one of them! I think it could be a big cross-over hit and go from commercial to one of the top 10 songs of 2008 (think "I'd like to Teach the World to Sing" and you'll get the idea). Everywhere you go people would be singing -- and humming -- "Verizon . . . on the horizon."
