Ode to Neil Frank (and more)

As many of you already know, but I was too busy working on the following to blog about in a timely fashion, Neil Frank, the KHOU Houston - Ch 11 weatherman has retired. Here is the behind the scenes look at how Neil feels about this... to the song Umbrella by Rihanna.

Push play then sing along!

No clouds in the forecast
Let it shine, its all mine in the bank
Going up with oil prices
When the sun comes I’m set, like Cheveron
He knows more than just weather
Hurricanes aren’t better, You know me
Ready for the sun, prepped for the shinny day
Gene, Norman is here as the new Weatherman
Neil Frank is out of here!

You have my job
And we know I was robbed
I’ll be in hurricane guides
But you still took my place
Gene cause in the sun
You can start saying grace
And that’s when you will wish I was there
With you I’ll never share
Because

When the rain falls, you’ll get blame.
People think that you are lame
No one likes the weatherman
On the beach I’ma gona get a tan
Now that is hotter with no shade
Know that you have no aid
You can’t stand under my sunshade
You can’t stand under my sunshade
Under my sunshade
(ade ade de de de)
Under my sunshade
(ade ade de de de)
Under my sunshade
(ade ade de de de de de de de)

The weather screen, has gotten in between
Getting my car in gear, I’m out of here
When viewers have said their part
When the weather has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard, you’ll be off your guard
Because

When the rain falls, you’ll get blame.
People think that you are lame
No one likes the weatherman
On the beach I’ma gona get a tan
Now that is hotter with no shade
Know that you have no aid
You can’t stand under my sunshade
You can’t stand under my sunshade
Under my sunshade
(ade ade de de de)
Under my sunshade
(ade ade de de de)
Under my sunshade
(ade ade de de de de de de de)

You can go jump off a cliff
Its okay you won’t be missed
I Won’t help you
Watched the forecast that you blew so hard
So go on and let the sun shine
Screw it up, the job will be mine
Because

When the rain falls, you’ll get blame.
People think that you are lame
No one likes the weatherman
On the beach I’ma gona get a tan
Now that is hotter with no shade
Know that you have no aid
You can’t stand under my sunshade
You can’t stand under my sunshade
Under my sunshade
(ade ade de de de)
Under my sunshade
(ade ade de de de)
Under my sunshade
(ade ade de de de de de de de)

It’s a hurricane
Oh Gene it’s a hurricane
Gene, I Won’t help you
I Won’t help you
It’s a hurricane
Oh Gene, it’s a hurricane
