Joey Pajamas on Howard Stern
Joe has also made his presence known on the
Howard Stern Show. That's
right folks, Joe Chiofalo is in fact ... JOEY PAJAMAS.
A few years back Joey Pajamas entered a song parody competition
on the Howard Stern show. With $25,000 on the line, he knew he had
to come up with something great. After all, he listened to the show
everyday for years, and knew all of the personalities. He's been
writing and recording music since the age of 15 - he at least had
to send in something. With four days left before the deadline he
had an epiphany. He knew what he had to do. Every night after working
ten hours a day at his day job, he wrote and recorded his submission.
As the announcement of the winners drew nearer, he heard the good
entries get praised with laughter and reverence, while the bad ones
were scoffed at and dismissed as crap. And still, Pajamas heard
nothing of his parody. Even if it didn't place, he was sure it would
at least get a mention, a laugh from the gang if nothing else. Well
the winners were announced and Pajamas went on with his life wondering
what the f__k happened?? Did they even receive his disc??? Confident
that his parody was air worthy, he continued to send his entry in
to the station every three months for more then a year. He sent
them in to Robin and Gary, then to Gary and Fred, then to Robin
and Howard, and so on. Finally, after what seemed like forever,
he sent in three discs. One to Robin, one to Gary, and the third
one to a new comer to the show, his now good friend, Richard Christy.
Finally Pajamas heard back. Richard explained that his original
lyrics were too risque for testicle radio. He advised Pajamas to
change the lyrics and he'd get it to the powers that be. Pajamas
went right to work re-recording his original vision. Unlike most
parody submissions, Pajamas starts from scratch in his Midi studio
using only great samples and a microphone. NO BITCH KARAOKE tracks
here.
Within two weeks it was not only finished and delivered to
Richard, but the second verse was used as the intro to Robin's news.
"Lovin Robin's Back Door" finally had its moment in the sun. The
brilliant spin off of John Fogerty's " Looking Out My Back Door"
This would be the beginning of a wonderful collaboration between
the brilliance which is the Howard Stern Show, and a singer/songwriter
with a witty, perverted sense of humor. From that day on Pajamas
has sent in all kinds of comedic bits. Some of them parodies, some
of them original snippets. His country cover version of "This is
Beetle" was a big hit, and "Anal Receiver " was number one in the
top five in the country for weeks".
"He's real talented" says Howard Stern, the
King of all media.
Pajamas finally got to meet his pal Richard,
along with most of the staff at the Howard Stern Film Festival.
They've even worked together on a few bits. One with PJ supplying
the music/lyrics, and Richard laying in a brilliant choice of his
favorite Homo discipline sound bite.
Since then
Joey Pajamas has become a major contributor to the show. "Really very talented"
says Howard Stern, the King of all media. With tracks like "Lovin'
Robin's Backdoor", "Sal's a Moe" and endless X-rated parodies, Joey
Pajamas is there to stay.
