Thanks for having me here.

I tried the whole starving musician thing, and I played in all the clubs around here on Monday nights.

Can you see the recognition?

Well, I have to tell you the story of the song. Yeah, tell the story. Tell the story. Okay, so after I got out of the music business, I had a college roommate who went into the movie business.

And he knew that I was a musician and he was making a movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a producer. And Schwarzenegger was the director of Christmas in Connecticut, the remake. Sounds about as good as it was, I think. And they needed it as a song because she played, Diane Cannon played the lead and she was a cook on TV or whatever.

So the song had to be about food and they wanted to use Harry Connick's recipe for love or something like that, but they couldn't afford it. Yeah. So Stan calls me and says, we need a song that's kind of upbeat about food for Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie. Can you do it? I said, well, when do you need it by? Thursday. It was Tuesday. So I just went and wrote a little song.

And my wife is a singer, a fantastic singer. And I said, honey, can you sing this song? Because we don't have time to go find anybody else. And he listened to it. He said, I like the one with the girl. And that's how the song was chosen. Yeah. Yeah. I want you to play it. I really think you should. So it went. Now, remember, it had to be about food. So it went. Let's go to the kitchen.

I got something fixing up. They're inside the oven, something warm and loving. Friends wouldn't laugh if they knew that it's true. We're cooking for two. Here's the accordion bridge. I was a soup for one girl, leftovers every night. Oh, but once I tasted your kisses, I was dynamite. Here's a recipe for all the world to see. We take some me and some you. Let it stew. We're cooking for two.

I love you. We're cooking for two. That definitely ranks amongst one of the most embarrassing things I've ever heard.
