Aykroyd

The idea for this song came from an article on thescope.ca that profiled Dan Aykroyd and his skull vodka, which is made from Newfoundland and Labrador iceberg water. As soon as I saw the title of the article, I had the chorus, and knew that I wanted to shout “AYKROYD!”

This was a lot of fun to play.

in the beginning
he had the bass-o-matic
got the selling bug
the rest was automatic

AYKROOOOOYYYD
AYKROOOOOYYYD
DAN AYKROYYYYD
Dan Aykroyd sells all manner of things

made a big movie
he was a blues brother
elwood was a role
unlike any other

AYKROOOOOYYYD
AYKROOOOOYYYD
DAN AYKROYYYYD
Dan Aykroyd sells all manner of things

in the mid-eighties
he was a ghostbuster
then he wanted something
that had some more lustre

AYKROOOOOYYYD
AYKROOOOOYYYD
DAN AYKROYYYYD
Dan Aykroyd sells all manner of things

he was a pitchman a showman
a scientist a fake
and more than one time
he had to jump in a lake

ACKROOOOOYYYD
ACKROOOOOYYYD
DAN ACKROYYYYD
he sells all manner of things

like all good actors
he branched out
he sang he directed
and then came about

ACKROOOOOYYYD
ACKROOOOOYYYD
DAN ACKROYYYYD
he sells all manner of things

once he bought a vinyard
and then he hit full throttle
when he started selling vodka
in skull shaped bottle

ACKROOOOOYYYD
ACKROOOOOYYYD
DAN ACKROYYYYD
he sells all manner of things

dan ackroyd
sells all manner of things
now let’s just see
what the new year will bring
