Ryan Hopak and the Happy Chinchillas featuring Janna “I Like Ebert” Parody of Nelly Furtado’s “I’m Like A Bird” New lyrics by Ryan Hopak When I want to See a flick And don’t know what to choose I turn to My favorite critic And I read his reviews And Leonard Maltin’s OK Gene Siskel was, too I like Ebert, and what he has to say Film goers counting on him When they’re reading his column (And baby all I need for you to know is) I like Ebert, he really makes my day He’s the best movie watcher With the first name of Roger I don’t think he Liked “Gladiator” When he said this film sucks But he kept me From the theater And he saved me eight bucks And when he’s on TV My nose is on the screen I like Ebert, I really love his show Like the way that he sums up All those films with a thumbs up (And baby all I need for you to know is) I like Ebert, and everybody knows He’s the critic from Chicago Always taking up the front row (And baby all I need for you to know is) Well I don’t care that he’s got a wife And I’d be his co-host for life If he would leave Richard Roeper If movie popcorn were our love The one for Roger & me would have to be The biggest tub Oh, will he hold my hand When the lights go out, yeah Answer, man Thumbs up or thumbs down? I like Ebert (I like Ebert) He’s got real sexy glasses And a lot of movie passes (And baby all I need for you to know is) I like Ebert, I wanna take him home Nobody could look better With silver hair and a sweater (And baby all I need for you to know is) I like Ebert, and if he thinks I’m cute Pretty soon we’ll be getting Rave reviews for our wedding (And baby all I need for you to know is) I like Ebert, and when we say, “I do” Instead of rice over our heads They’ll be throwing Raisinets (And baby all I need for you to know is) I like Ebert, and on our honeymoon My “Citizen Kane”-loving big stud Will want to do it on rosebuds (And baby all I need for you to know is) I like Ebert, and when the night is through He’ll be calling his new bride A non-stop exciting thrill ride (And baby all I need for you to know is) But until then the balcony is closed Don't forget to request Ryan on "Dr. Demento"  or your local radio stations.
