Abby & Arnold’s Magic Carpet Ride
Princess Abby’s long black hair trailed behind her, whipping gently in the night air as a burly Arnold Schwarzenegger carefully piloted the enchanted Persian rug on which they sat. The pair had barely lost sight of the city below when their souls could no longer contain the song in their hearts and they began to sing…”I can show you the world….”
No, the last few lines are not my attempt at an alternate-reality Aladdin screenplay. They actually describe a dream my Big Big House Morning Show partner Abby had a few nights ago. Yup, it was just her and the ‘Governator’ sharing a romantic magic carpet ride high above ancient Persia, complete with a performance of the Disney classic, “A Whole New World”. When she caught wind that a couple of artists we play at Spirit FM actually covered the duet, Abby felt that it was high-time we reenact her odd date with Arnold. The resulting song was…well…something…

To be perfectly honest, recording it was blast!! Arnold is one of my favorite impressions to do because the man’s just got so many memorable lines. I could have probably stuck with material from the Terminator movies and had more than enough phrases to work with. Now I just have to find a way to plant Christopher Walken into her dreams…
There’s GOT to be an inception ‘how-to’ on the web somewhere, right?…

Awesome! I laughed so hard… Really really creative – However, I think Abby can do so much better in her dreams than the ‘terminator’… Come on Abby how about Mr. Mcdreamy… ?
