It’s Finally Here: Rick Steves…the Song

A fun part of my work is being parodied or otherwise becoming part of other people’s creative projects. I stumble into lots of examples of this. And, while I’ve heard several songs about myself, this one — which I just discovered today — is my favorite. Congratulations, Brenton Haack. I’ll take your lyrics in the most positive light possible. Happy travels!

  1. This track did nothing for me. The structure of the verses was interesting, but the lyrics were pedestrian. Plus, either the singer needed his sound turned up in the studio or he needs to learn to quit singing 3 feet from the mic.

    Just saying…

  2. Loved the song. Talented young man! Would like to see you in politics, Rick. We need you in Washington. You’d make a good Sec’ty of State. I’m an “older” American who well remembers the more equitable times before the jobs went abroad. Spent a month in Egypt ten years ago when daughter taught American University. Lovely people, Egyptians.” Italians of the Islamic world”. Warm, outgoing, emotional, great “fam. values” I’m so looking forward to your experiences in the post-ousting of Mabarak era. Thanks for your progressive social values! Ellie in Sonoma Co.

  3. What was that! Maybe it needed some visual. Some of it was hard to understand. I think you deserve something a bit more lively!

  4. Like the rest, I could barely understand the lyric. It terms of parodies, that song has nothing on Steve Ricks, Euronerd!

  5. I’m so glad Rick has a great sense of humor. He could have played his sousaphone in the background.
