Mulder Tribute

I had a total flashback. Today is one of those mornings that reminded me of Chicago Summer. There was this radio show I used to listen to (Eric & Kathy) and they were playing a song called "David Duchovny" sort of a tribute/joke song written by Bree Sharp. I never even watched X files but Gillian Anderson is a hometown girl (Grand Rapids native!) so I thought I'd do a little post here.

I'd to upload the music but since i don't know how right now I'll just guide you to the link at: http://duchovny.net/multimedia/radio.htm. The radio show transcript is after the lyrics. I hear there is a new X files movie coming out sometime so who knows, maybe there's a revival coming our way...

David Duchovny by Bree Sharp

It's Sunday night
I am curled up in my room.
The TV light
Fills my heart like a balloon.
I hold it in as best I can.
I know I'm just another fan.
Still can't help feeling i could
Love a secret agent man...
And I can't Wait any more
for Him to discover me
I got it bad for David Duchovny
David Duchovny
Why won't you love me
Why won't you love me
Why won't you love me
My friends all tell me
Girl, you know it's just a show.
But deep within his eyes
I see me wrapped up like a bow.
Watching the skies for a sign.
The FBI is on my mind.
Waiting for the day
When my lucky stars align
In the form of David Duchovny
Floating above me
In the alien light
Of the spaceship of love
David Duchovny
Hovering above me
American Heathcliff
Brooding and comic
David Duchovny
Why won't you love me
Why won't you love me
Why won't you love me
So smug and so smart
He's abducted my heart
And I'm falling apart
From those looks I receive
From those eyes I can't leave
You could say I'm naive
But he told me to believe (ooooooooh)
My bags are packed,
I am ready for my flight.
To put an end to
Daydream days and sleepless nights
Sitting like a mindless clone.
Wishing he would tap my phone
Just to hear the whisper
- the man, the myth, the monotone...
And I'll say David Duchovny
Why won't you love me
Why won't you love me
David Duchovny
David Duchovny
I want you to love me
To kiss and to hug me
Debrief and debug me
David Duchovny
I know you can love me
I'm sweet and I'm cuddly
I'm gonna kill Scully!
David Duchovny
Why won't you love me,
Why won't you love me,
Why won't you love me....(repeat and fade)



Eric & Kathy Show
Chicago Radio Station Interview
June 1999
On the set of Return to Me
Swanny: Hi Mr. Duchovny, I John Swanson, Swanny, from the Eric and Kathy show, howya doin'?
DD: Good.
Swanny: It's David Duchovny Why Won't You Love Me? on Eric and Kathy.
Eric: David?
DD: Hello.
Eric: Hi David, how are you?
DD: I fine, who is this, Eric or Kathy?
Kathy: It's actually both.
Eric: Wow. How are ya? We've been playing your song all week, "David Duchovny Why Won't You Love Me?" and it's a pleasure to finally speak to you.
DD: Sure, that's what Swanny told me here, that you've been playing that song.
Kathy: You've heard the song, haven't you?
DD: Yeah, a friend of mine brought it to my attention about nine months ago.
Zwecker: This is Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times, David. How are you?
DD: (with his usual wit) How many people you got over there?
Eric: (joking) It's like a studio full of people.
Kathy: We're just having a party.
DD: Sounds like you're doing a good job.
Eric: What do you think of the song?
DD: When I heard it I thought it was a really good tune, and I was embarrassed by the lyrics. But I never thought it would be a public thing, so right now it's just even more embarrassing than when I first heard it.
Kathy: Hey David, what did Téa think of the song?
DD: It was actually a friend of hers that brought it to me and her first reaction was "I wish I had written a song for you."
Eric and Kathy: Awwwwwww. . .
DD: But then, of course she's not musical at all, so. . .
Kathy: That's sweet.
Eric: That's nice. So have you had a chance to meet Bree Sharp, the woman that sings it?
DD: No I haven't.
Eric: Really, uh, would ya?
DD: Would I meet her?
Eric: Yeah.
DD: You mean like, would I be scared to meet her?
Eric: I don't know. Would ya?
Kathy: I would.
DD: I think it's kinda a funny song. I like the tune.
Kathy: And it's got a good beat.
DD: It does. It has a good beat, you can dance to it, I give it an 85.
Eric: There you go. Quite a tribute. How are things going on the movie there? Bonnie Hunt is fantastic.
DD: Bonnie's the best, yeah, a Chicago native.
Eric: Things are going well for ya?
DD: I think they're going really well. You know you can never tell with a movie until it's all done but there's a good feeling here.
Kathy: Hey, we should wish you an early happy Father's Day.
DD: Is that this Sunday?
Kathy: Yeah.
Eric: How's the baby?
DD: The baby's great, thank you. She's doing great. She's spent more time in Chicago than in any other place in the world.
Eric: Oh that's great.
Kathy: Well wasn't she born just before you came to Chicago?
DD: Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
Kathy: Wow.
Eric: Pretty soon she's gonna be a native Chicagoan and demanding pizza left and right.
Kathy: Yeah.
DD: I know. When do you become a native Chicagoan? How long do you have to be here?
Eric: Oh, about three weeks.
Kathy: No, you have to survive a winter, Dave.
DD: Oh, well then she's not going to make it.
DD: Neither am I.
Eric: Well, David, we appreciate you taking a couple moments out of your busy schedule. Best wishes to you and Téa and the family and good luck with the movie and we can't wait to see it.
DD: Thank you very much.
Eric: Thank you. Take care, and goodbye.
Kathy: Thank you.
DD: I'll give you back to Swanny here.
Eric: Thank you. Sorry about that if he's frightening you.
DD: He's a little scary with the White Sox jacket on, he looks like a normal person.
Kathy: Oh, no.
Eric: Thank you, David.
DD: Alright, bye.
