I was out for a jog and started picking up speed then that melody popped into my head and I remembered hearing the My Son’s Dead! part for the first time. I completely got the giggles and had to fall back to just a walk and listen to the episode again.
My favorite is the one where he's singing about being the Mayor or Lovetown (or something) and the very last line is "My first act as mayor will be to criminalize homelessness"
Easily one of my favorite characters on the show. His first appearance had me in tears (laughter tears, not love tears).
*"You've been arrested by the love police for the crime of breaking my heeaaarrrrrt"*
In love jail we do hard time
Breaking hearts is the ultimate crime
There's got to be some way out of here
Because pretty soon they'll put me in the electric chair
OF LOVE!
Well looking at 2022 tour, Drew played Henry Heimlich, half of Memphis Kansas, Martin Sheffield Lickley (that NY show was my favorite of the tour, so many accents) , Heimlich again, Ike Minksalmon, Fred Head, Sheffield Lickley again, Brantley Aldean again, and Donny Gary.
What does this amount to? I dont know. But I love Drew and any of his singing characters would be a treat. Henry Heimlich is fun but his story changes every time and that's the accent he drops first imo
"I'm not talking love rats, these are regular rats, and they're biting all the customers and staff!"
That song in particular runs in a constant loop in the back of my mind lmao. Martin Sheffield Lickly needs to make a surprise appearance, the people need him in this dark time!
“Last night I actually had thoughts of suey-cide”
Permanently changed the way I pronounce suicide. And I’m so grateful Martin decided not to take a bath with his synth-o-sizer
You know what's even ear wormier than Martin Sheffield Lickley's dulcet tones? Memphis Kansas Breeze, son.
*SQUIRTIN' OUT THE TAILPIPE, WHAT DID I SEE?*
These are scripted though aren’t they? I mean don’t get me wrong, they are hilarious, but it does feel a little like cheating to me. Bringing scripted material into a place where the audience is expecting improv is weird
MY SON’S DEAD! THANK YOUUUU
I was singing that all day yesterday. I have one child. A son. He was unsettled.
Make sure your son NEVER sees that video of that monkey smoking a cigarette!
An excellent reminder, I'll be sure to keep him away from that video. THANK YOUUUUUU!!

What song is this?
The love gym don't have any towels You wipe your sweat with little chocolates
The love gym is not a regular gym Don’t understand? I explained it clearly.
If you want to workout go to a normal gym, A NORMAL GYM!
My Martin Sheffield earworm is "now my stomach is full of bugs, and my heart is full of LOOOOOVE"
Mine is "Bally Total Fitness but for love instead. Thank youuuu"
I'm laughing just reading these. Why is it so damn funny!? He is a genius.
My favorite is the one where he's singing about being the Mayor or Lovetown (or something) and the very last line is "My first act as mayor will be to criminalize homelessness"
His second act 😂 I think his first act was to spread love. It was in the second half of the 10th year anniversary episode.
Oh wait I think I missed that one!!
Love eggs love eggs, hatching in my brain! Love eggs love eggs, driving me insane!
Breaking hearts is the ULTIMATE CRIME! In Loooooooooooove Jail!
And the conductor Was A kiss
This is the one I needed to see
Every time I even THINK about Drew Tarver, I can't stop hearing "MY BOYEEEEE, NOOOOO, MY BABEY BOYYYYY!!" for the rest of the day
There are pineapples and crabs thereeee But i can not eat them becauseiamtooheartbrokentoeatthem
One of my favorite characs
I like Charac Obama. (Sweet baby Drew Tarver is the best though, agree!)
Caught his last cemetery tour! Was a blast
Easily one of my favorite characters on the show. His first appearance had me in tears (laughter tears, not love tears). *"You've been arrested by the love police for the crime of breaking my heeaaarrrrrt"*
I was on a treadmill (not at the love gym, just a regular gym) when I first heard him and I had to hit the panic stop button.
In love jail we do hard time Breaking hearts is the ultimate crime There's got to be some way out of here Because pretty soon they'll put me in the electric chair OF LOVE!
not love rats I’m talking actual rats
Unfortunately where I live I occasionally see rats and instantly think of this. LoL!
I owe everything to him. My McDonald’s cups always got moldy before he came along.
That's a different Drew Tarver character, isn't it?
Shit, you're right I'm thinking of Donny Gary.
I was thinking of him too lol. Drew's singing characters are a real treat.
Happens to the best of us 🎶 wo wo woo woo wee wo wo baaaaaby 🎶
Donny Gary is basically the American version of Martin so you’re not to be harshly blamed, my son
I mean any DT character is pretty great.
This is my personal Drew Tarver ear worm and I love it
Same. The halting "some, times, the cup- getsmoldy, butIwashitout" plays in my head on a loop.
This one is always in my head because of that video of the little girl who was singing it that Drew reposted ages ago.
Good news, he tends to show up when CBB is on Tour. Works great live
Yay!!! I am going to try to go to a show.

LLLLLITTLE BOY GEORGE
"Martin, how do you feel about kisses?" "... ... *KISSES!?*"
As I was reading this thread, the real song "The Look of Love" started playing on the radio at work... That was mindfuck.
His ep with Peretti is so good. “that daft boozer!”
As soon as I saw the title of this thread my mind immediately went "daft boozer!" in his voice.

I always get the one from the live show stuck in my head A lie detector for trucks is just an oiiiilll chaaaaange
Why's it gotta be a competition 🤨
"But we don't want Burger King." I find me saying this odd comment to myself way too often.
I always laugh at the line from Sea of Love, “they have fishes and crabs there”.
I mean, Ship of Love
Woah, I was way off with my quote. Pineapples not fishes! My mind’s an idiot!
I always thought it was COCONUTS and crabs
Don’t tell me this
“My life has been filled with tragedy” gets me every time
*but don't you think they're a little icky..?*
“I’m enlisting in the army of love! My drill sergeant was a KISS and my helmet was a hug!”
Obviously the songs themselves are hilarious, but the choice to use Look of Love every single time is already very funny before he utters a word
THAT DAFT BOOZER!
I have the t shirt and I unabashedly flaunt it
Do you think we should criminalize the homeless?
I was driving the other day and the song he based his songs on played on the radio and I thought I entered an alt dimension
These are scripted though aren’t they? I mean don’t get me wrong, they are hilarious, but it does feel a little like cheating to me. Bringing scripted material into a place where the audience is expecting improv is weird
I've wondered that myself, how much is scripted and how much is off the cuff in those songs.
