I think it’s going to be a cabaret show and a blend of our styles. I’m really excited about doing something with Patti LuPone. Who else are you dreaming and dying to work with? I was like, “He should write a whole blue musical.” He was like, “I wrote the South Park movie, bitch!” But I never dreamt that he and Scott would like want to work with me. We chitchatted for a second and he came up with this song about a joke I had and was so quick and sharp. I remember meeting Marc with Scott on the set of “Smash” and liked him immediately. It was great and got got me really fired up. Jukebox Jackie was the first time Scott and I wrote together.

Marc has a Tony award and five Academy Award nominations, so it was incredible! He loves the song “Titties.” (Photo by Tammy Shell) I’d be like, “I can add this here and you can do that there,” and we’d make each other laugh. They write well-executed songs, whereas my songs have always been a bit scrappier. They like everything to have a perfect rhyme, which is a real challenge for me, because I don’t work with any rules. Working with Marc and Scott was interesting because they have this one rule: exact rhyme. I got a grant to write a new show at Joe’s Pub they were like, “Would you like a grant?” I was like, “Yeah!” I wanted to work with Scott and Marc and to write a song with Adam and work on something with Matt Ray, who I’d written “What I Gotta Do (to get that Dick in my Mouth)” with. For Rock Bottom you worked with more mainstream musical theatre guys, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman of Hairspray. I also do a lot of collaborating and I happen to be friends with a lot of great, interesting musicians.Īnd you collaborate with all kinds of people, from downtown folks like Neal Medlyn to Adam Horovitz. Sometimes I’ll sit down and try to come up with something, but usually someone will say something funny, or I will, and I’ll vocalize the idea of whatever it is and whoever had it, and that’s usually how a song comes to me. We also have something called a “hook challenge.” The hook challenge sometimes end up being the hits. Sometimes I’m part of a songwriters’ group and we meet once a month and it’s really helpful to have a forced deadline every month. Where and how do most of your songs take shape? She had breast cancer and lost one of her beavertails. We used to call her Beavertail because she’s got these long beavertail-looking titties. I love singing it because the idea behind it was for my mom. Write it!”Īnd now I play it at all my shows.

And then afterward we were having egg sandwiches and I said to Adam, “Is this silly?” And he said, “Yes, but it sounds like a hit. I came off the field and I sang it into my phone immediately. You got them little nippy titties, put ’em in the air. There were five or six of us doing batting practice and I was out in the field shagging balls and this idea popped into my head. “You got go those tube sock titties, put ’em in the air. It’s a bunch of crazy people in their 40s out there playing catch in the snow.Īnd Catch Club is where you came up with your song “Titties,” right? It can be hard with everyone working a lot but when we’re in the swing of it we will meet twice a week-even in winter. I got the triple crown once, which hasn’t been repeated. It’s super-fun and everyone’s really cool. Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys) is involved, too it’s a real collection of artistic misfits. It’s really fun it’s a group of our friends. Growing up I was on a traveling softball team-we were called “The Cuties.” Catch Club came about because a few years ago I was depressed and in a funk and my friend Murray was like, “Get outside and get some sunshine and get an activity going.” It’s great.Ĭatch Club is an offshoot of Team Pressure. I went to Arizona State and did competitive sports.

When you work at night, it’s nice to have a daytime activity, see friends and get some vitamin D and sunshine. We’re the three core members, and we go to McCarren Park in Brooklyn and we play catch, do drills, move around and talk about showbiz. It’s something I do with my buddies Murray Hill and Neal Medlyn (a.k.a. I’d love to hear you talk about Catch Club.
