infomercials about The Dean Martin Show
saturated my teenage saturday afternoons

my mom never let me buy
this coveted, boozy, melodic box set

i faithfully previewed the same shtick, on loop
always a sucker for a man with a microphone

it’s no wonder i ended up being
such a sure thing at karaoke bars
