Question of the Day - 30 January 2021

Q:

There is a very catchy tune on Las Vegas’ ABC affiliate, Channel 13, called “Good Morning, Las Vegas.” Was it performed by a local group? I can’t quite understand all of the lyrics. Can you help?

A:

The song “Good Morning, Las Vegas” was crafted by jingle factory Stephen Arnold Music, which is based in Dallas. Stephen Arnold specializes in “sonic branding,” creating hooks for broadcast networks, cable channels, TV stations, digital media outlets, production companies, corporations, and advertising agencies. Uncredited studio musicians played the “Good Morning” tune, which Stephen Arnold Music Creative Director Chad Cook describes as “super catchy, but not like a typical pop song. We used handclaps, acoustic guitars, and whistles to make it energetic, relatable, and fun.”

The song was devised as a branding exercise for KTNV-TV’s eponymous morning show, debuting during last year’s Academy Awards telecast. Both the one-minute and 30-second versions are available online.

“We wanted to get the word out about our talent, some of whom were relatively new to the show,” said KTNV Promotions Manager Jenny Dolph.

Stephen Arnold Music media representative Linda Rosner kindly shared the song’s lyrics with us and here they are.

I wake up to the daylight
And it’s starting all over
Got the morning on my shoulder
And a new day all around me
Yeah, you got me in motion
It’s my morning here in Vegas
Love to see your smiling faces
And it’s 3-2-1

Something ‘bout the morning
Makes you feel good now
It’s getting contagious
Good Morning Las Vegas!
Something bout the first light
Makes everything all right
Let’s see where it takes us
Good Morning Las Vegas!

I’m ready for my day now
It’s like sunshine hope and promise
Cause right when I turn you on
You give me everything that I need
I’m lovin’ how you show me
All the traffic news and weather
Yeah you bring it all together
And it’s 3-2-1

Something ‘bout the morning
Makes you feel good now
It’s getting contagious
Good Morning Las Vegas!
Something 'bout the first light
Makes everything all right
Let’s see where it takes us
Good Morning Las Vegas!
Something bout the first light
Makes everything all right
I love when we wake up
Good Morning Las Vegas!

    My lyrics
    It's morning in Vegas
    I stagger outside
    Jesus it's already 102 degrees
    I can't see, it's so goddamn bright
    It's morning in Vegas
    I'm going back to bed
    Somebody turn off the sun
    La la la la la
    It's morning in Vegas
    Where's the espresso stand
    How much did I lose last night
    I don't remember
    Where the hell are my pants?
    La la la la la
    It's morning in Vegas
    BLAUUUUGH

    You state that it is available online, but you don’t provide a link? What the hell?

    can't decide
    Kevin is always entertaining.  What I can't tell (and who cares what I think anyway) is whether his posts serve in an 'ambassador' capacity, or as 'warning, stay away.'  But that's Kevin...tongue in cheek, irony.  Luv ya, Kev.
