A commenter by the name of Matt (tip o’ the hat) pointed us to the below video of local celebs singing Faith Hill’s “This Kiss” by way of promoting Super Bowl XLV. Pretty funny stuff. A few observations and questions: 1) Dirk and Romo appear to have the most fun with it. Good on them. 2) If I wanted to see Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck make out with a woman who I assume is wife, I would put a surveillance camera in their breakfast nook. Please: no more. 3) Who is the white guy in the TCU hat? Neither Zac nor I could ID him. 4) Similarly, who is the black gentleman of generous proportions? 5) How much did Scott Murray pay to be included in this video? (Update: Apologies to TCU football coach Gary Patterson. But yours is not a face, apparently, that we can pick out of a lineup. Even when you’re wearing TCU gear. Apologies, too, to Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief, whose mustache I should have recognized with my eyes closed.)

Agreed about Dirk & Romo… lol
Please tell me this isn’t going to be widely distributed! (Er, more than on this blog.)
it is apparent that not one has a sense of pitch and rhythm
Very funny.
That would be FW Mayor Mike Moncrief making out with his wife, but the point still stands.
“who is black gentleman of generous proportions?”
Totally laughed out loud after reading this. Must find a way to use this in group setting over the weekend.
How much do you want to bet that Scott Murray heard about it and just showed up?
If I wanted to know that you could recognize Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief’s moustache by sense of touch alone, I would put a surveillance camera in D Magazine’s storage room. Please: no more.
All thing considered, I think waterboarding is still a more effective means of torture.
WTH? What is up with having local “celebrities” try to sing and how is this good for the Superbowl? Didn’t we just have an inane video with some of these same “celebs” trying to dance? Why do PR people think this is a good idea? (google one more thing Dallas) What happened to slick professional videos that inspire and impress? Instead we get freakin’ American Idol Big D Celebrity Edition.
couldnt get to the stop button quick enough
Really Tacky. If I were the SuperBowl, I would run like crazy………….
Russell Maryland, former Cowboys player is the unidentified person
I will never be able to get the image of Roger Staubach saying “ride me off into the sunset, baby” out of my head!
I turned off the TV when I saw this last night. It is so very awful. What were they thinking? Worse: once they saw how bad it was, why would they post it to a website for the world to see? This is a disaster.
More importantly who picked that song? and why is there a part where Brett Hull says nothing and just sways?
and who is the guy singing with his eyes closed and coughing?
The song was greated as a spoof on Faith Hill’s “This Kiss.” Joe Buck and Troy Aikman introduced the video by explaining there were tryouts for performers to earn a spot in the Kick-Off Concert Series-thankfully, Faith Hill agreed to perform. The guests are not only mayors, but sports peeps from all of Dallas’ major sports teams (if I remember correctly, the cougher is Chris Young from the Rangers.) It was hilarious when played at Bass Hall with the tune to her song in the background – evidently it lost something when played out of context without the Joe Buck-Troy Aikman intro.
My eyes! The googles, they do nothing…
Betcha this was done by same MWBE vendor that sold the city on the dancing thing for the meeting planners video a few months ago.
Wow Tony, don’t quit your day job!
it all seemed to make sense when they played it before Faith Hill’s concert saturday night. And Rosie Moncrief co-chairs the fundraising concerts, so her inclusion makes sense, though perhaps not while smooching the mayor.
That was terrible, even as an attempt to be cheesy, it was just bad.
