Little girl red dress pony tail and what a mess Lifes so hard she don't know run away and she's got no home Think it's bad when people care now she's got no one and no one cares Chorus: No one cares No one cares Take a road that leads you out got a home but you wore it out Know too much for one so young it's all about you having fun To think about anothers rare you push away the ones who care Chorus: No one cares No one cares All alone you find yourself a year from now and there's no one else Everyone wants a part of you they take and take until you're through Your hopes and dreams are in the past doing things don't tell don't ask Chorus: No One Cares No One Cares No One Cares No One Cares Outro: No one cares,no one cares No one No one No one cares,no one cares No on No one No one cares,no one cares No one No one No one cares,no one cares No one No one cares

YAE YA……..
YOUR SAYING THAT I’M CHANGING…
IN SO MANY WAYS
BUT STILL MY SHELF HOLDS TRUE
AND I SEEM SO FAR AWAY
EVEN WHEN I’M CLOSE TO YOU
COME BACK FROM THE PAST, MY FRIEND
TO HAUNT ME WITH YOUR SMILE
TO HEAR THE SIMPLE WORDS…
YOU MIGHT AS WELL STAY AWHILE
RIGHT NOW I’M….
TALKIN WITH MY EYES
NO NEED FOR DISGUISE
THE WORDS COULD NEVER SAY
WHAT’S IN MY MIND TODAY….
CAN YOU SEE IT?
HOLDIN’ RIGHT ON THROUGH
IT’S ONLY MERE LANGUAGE
CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
I MUST HAVE SEEMED LIKE THE QUITE TYPE
NEVER HAD MUCH TO SAY
SOMETIMES MAD AT THE WORLD
BUT THAT WAS THE PRICE TO PAY
YOU NEVER THOUGHT I HAD IT, IN MY SOUL
TO TURN OUT SOMETHING GOOD
I GUESS MY VIOLENT ATTITUDE
WAS ALL YOU UNDERSTOOD
YOU MIGHT AS WELL STAY AWHILE
RIGHT NOW I’M….
TALKIN WITH MY EYES
NO NEED FOR DISGUISE
THE WORDS COULD NEVER SAY
WHAT’S IN MY MIND TODAY….
CAN YOU SEE IT?
HOLDIN’ RIGHT ON THROUGH
IT’S ONLY MERE LANGUAGE
CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
AND SO YOUR PRIDE IS SHATTERED
AND YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
AS YOU REACH FOR MY HAND, YOU’LL UNDERSTAND
I LOVE BEING CLOSE TO YOU.
WELL YOU’VE GOT YOUR WAY NOW…
I’VE OPENED UP TODAY..
NOW I JUST HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND
THIS NEW MAN’S WAY…
GUITAR SOLO
CAN YOU SEE IT?
HOLDIN’ RIGHT ON THROUGH
IT’S ONLY MERE LANGUAGE
CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD

DRIVIN’ DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN MY PICK UP TRUCK
TRYING REAL HARD TO GET MY COURAGE UP
JUST FOUND OUT SHE’D BE AT THAT DANCE TONIGHT
PASSED ME BY JUST A COUPLE OF TIMES
SMILED AT ME AND MADE MY MIND

SAW YOU WHEN YOU MOVED TO TOWN
JUST ABOUT A WEEK AGO
KNEW I HAD TO MEET YOU
BEFORE MY HEART EXPLODES
CHORUS
DANCIN IS WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO

Lunch With A Fat Woman
Verse 1
As we meet tonight
our time for another session
The blends just right
and the stress it lessens
We’ll meet at the yard
Scully has some incense burning
Playing’s not so hard
when you have such a yearning
Chorus:
The time goes by
the band plays on
Join me for lunch
lunch with a fat woman
Verse 2
Though we’re not the same
in thought and situation
When we play together
it’s such a fine vibration
So relax, enjoy my friends
get into the tune
Our jamming time together
will end all too soon
Chorus:
Verse 3
It was hard to get
where we are today
A little rough and rocky
but an easy price to pay
So we’ll part our ways
after another session
We’ll meet back next time
with a new progression
Chorus:
Get In Touch
About Us
Meet the Band
Joe Santangelo
Drummer
Joe has played with both Jeff and Mike in previous bands. He also played in Area 51. Known for his ability to stay in the pocket, Joe’s main focus is to keep the tempo steady with a precise touch which comes from years of honing his skills.
Although quite comfortable being in the background behind his set, he has no problem belting out a tune while playing drums. Joe is also an accomplished song writer penning words and music on some of our originals. He loves the line up in Crushing Myrna because of his connection with his bandmates,it’s like they know what each other will do before they do it.
They have been together since December of 2010 and have developed into a group that improves with every
session. Joe and the guy’s are on a roll and there’s no stoppin’ them.
Mike Alpi
Guitarist
Mike began playing guitar in the summer of 1977. After countless hours of jamming and practicing at his childhood home with various local musicians, Mike joined his first band, CM2, a combination of jazz fusion and hard rock. He then ventured into untouched territory playing in an alternative/metal, all-originals band, Tribal
Essence. Mike also played in other bands Stay Lost and My Favorite Mistake before moving to Florida from Long Island.
After his arrival in Florida, his co-worker Joe Santangelo asked if he’d like to join a band he was playing drums in called Not Tuna. This brought him in another direction and helped him hone his vocal skills.
Mike and Joe then decided to form their own band and called upon Joe’s old bandmate, bass player Jeff Kemper. Hence, Crushing Myrna was born. After playing many gigs performing cover songs, they went into the studio and recorded their first original CD. This self-titled recording turned out to be an eclectic mix of different genres, with no song sounding the same.
Crushing Myrna’s second CD, Lunch with a Fat Woman, was released in 2016. They approached this recording thinking they’d figure out which particular genre they fit in, but it turned out to be even more eclectic than their first CD.
Jeff Kemper
Bass
Jeff Kemper began playing bass in high school in New Jersey. ‘early music was rock with a Jazz flair – a horn section was added and satisfied creativity through the high school years.
After graduating university in Florida, Jeff contacted the drummer/brother of a friend and the beginnings of the band Blue Logic was formed.
After releasing 2 cds, Jeff and Joe, the drummer, broke off and formed Crushing Myrna, expanding on original material sprinkled with their take on covers for live shows. Adding Mike on guitars added the something extra that sparked a string of original material and 2 well-received cd releases.
Having gelled as a writing team, Jeff, Joe and Mike continue to feed off of each other in creativity and continue also to create their eclectic music for their fans.
