What will he be challenged to sing next? Check out every single “Ten Minute Tune” he’s done up until this point and make sure to listen The Andie Summers Show every single Thursday to hear brand new ones!
What is a Ten Minute Tune? XTU Nation decides what song and what topic I need to sing about and I only have ten minutes to change the lyrics of the song and practice before having to perform it LIVE on the air!
You can hear each and every Ten Minute Tune below!
I grew up loving music, have you ever seen one of our Classroom Covers?
You can see more of those here.
I grew up singing and performing. I took piano lessons since the age of six years old and was heavily involved in choir and theater ever since then. When I got to college, I was a founding member of the a cappella group, Otto Tunes, on the campus of Syracuse University!
It took us a semester to become an official student organization on campus. Here was our FIRST performance after becoming official. It’s Gavin DeGraw’s “Not Over You.”
TEN MINUTE TUNES!
I came up with this idea when messing around with friends. I love changing up lyrics and making them funny, this was no different but just with much more of time crunch.
We first tried only picking #1 songs but then we said “XTU Nation should decided what I should sing” and that’s when everything changed for the better!
Make sure that you’re listening at 7am every single Thursday to be able to give me a suggestion and then hear it all go down live. Though it makes me nervous, I have a lot of fun doing it.

May 25th, 2023- HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
Coming up on Memorial Day Weekend 2023!! Jeff was challenged to sing Old Dominion’s “Memory Lane” about this great holiday weekend.
Here’s the original…
Here's Jeff's Version
XTU Nation has deemed this one the BEST one to date. What do you think?
Sing A Long!
If I could throw a party on Memorial Day
I’d invite a bunch of vets who fought for the USA
We’d remember those we lost fighting for this country
And we’d crack open beers last Monday of May
Miller Lite!!
Burgers, dogs, go head take a bite
Yeah, I might as well have another,
This where I like to spend my time
Thinkin’ ’bout those heroes that made the big sacrifice
So we can be free here in our paradise
I’m drunk and I’m swimming, with whiskey on ice.
My friends and my family, the best is my Emily,
We’re all very friendly and it’s all in the memory
Of all those we lost this Memorial Day,
I never have to wonder if we’re free, USA!
We’d be, [pause] hanging out just at pool, man this weather beautiful
You ain’t happy you a fool
Thinkin’ ’bout those heroes that made the big sacrifice
So we can play Yahtzee at home with our dice
Church on the weekends, on Sunday look nice.
It’s all cause of heroes, soldiers that our God knows,
GI Janes, GI Joes, we salute you and guitar solo!
May 18th, 2023 - George Strait's Birthday And Summer!
We had to pull out a classic this week to honor the KING of country music, George Strait.
Here's Jeff Mashing George Strait and Bikini Season
Sing-A-Long
I’m feeling heavy this mornin’
Oh no, winter’s gone!
Gotta squeeze my fat butt in
This suit my thighs looks wrong
When that Sun is out
It makes me pout
I’ll be liftin’ at the gym today
Feeling heavy this mornin’
Swimsuit body ain’t okay.
Take a look at my love handles,
It looks like a spare tire
My body just ain’t ready
To sing in a shirtless choir
But I’ll be lookin’ just fine
Cause my smile’ll shine
And I hope that
Neighbors are kind.
Feeling heavy this mornin’
Trust me, nobody minds
May 11th, 2023 - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND!
Jeff was tasked with singing some Carrie Underwood, perfect cause she’s a great mom!
Here's Jeff's Version
Sing Along!
This one goes out to all of the mothers
Kids midnight scream and cry in bed
You step on a LEGO and another,
But you make it to them, kiss on their head
When you don’t hear a noise, swear you say “oh boy”
And you run to come find your kid
Making you a card, with glitter and stars
Carpet ruined it’s morbid
I wanna say it’s Mother’s Day
Even when they throw up, they want to hug Mo-may
Through good days and bad, through parties and sad
To all the mom’s, you are the bomb
Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day!
May 4th, 2023 - STAR WARS DAY!! With Parker McCollum's Newest #1

SING ALONG!
I went and bought a baby yoda and a big a case of beer
Drop my butt right on the sofa, Disney Plus real loud my neighbors can hear
Watchin’ all the movies, oh yeah, one at a time
Gonna see if I can make it through The Last Jedi
May the fourth be with you, and also to you throughout the year.
Greedo and Han Solo, who shot first, oh we don’t know.
But we do know today is our day
If you like the first trilogy, more than what’s come recently
It don’t matter cause it’s the fourth of May
After you watch every movie and felt all the highs and the lows
The party always continues, cause tomorrow’s cinco de mayo!

We got pick 30, and we also got pick ten
It’s the NFL Draft, pickin’ up rookies again.
Will we trade em? Give a pick so we don’t spend
All of our money Super Bowl is the end
New football season is in Philly it’s a hoagie not a roll
Another big year for the birds, feel it in all our souls
It’s Jalen Hurts ride or die, TDs not field goals
Yeah, it might be April, but we want a Super Bowl.
Jason Kelce he is back, he never seems to get old,
Yeah, it might be April, but we want a Super Bowl.

Here are the lyrics to sing-a-long!
Flower shops have been waitin’
For this month because now it’s prom season’
Call the dentist, must get rid of my braces
Lots of pictures
I just gotta go ask her we could go together
Get to her front door then I meet her mom and father
He’s holding, a shotgun…
Because it’s prom and I’m nervous
Dancing leave room for Jesus
Boo-ton-ear how do I pin this?
Can your mom help us please?
Will I get my first kiss?
Or heartbreak I get ditched
Damn, I’m so nervous
Maybe I’ll be prom king?
Will this be the best night of my life?
Because it’s prom and I’m nervous

He said, “no way these fans are nuts.”
Drives him crazy says they’re just too much,
She said, “bye, good luck!”
Get back into your Tesla truck
All the Swifties say, “go get… out”
She’s ours again, yeah that’s right.
And now we right there beside her hot girl summers on
We all are prayin’ that she starts to date Zac Efron!!!
But when we say Joe Alwyn
I bet you think, “oh who’s that guy?”
Dated T-Swift till she said “bye!”
Now Swifties boycott his one film
When you think that she’s the best
You’re probably right but who is next?
Maybe she’ll be come the bachelorette
Oh that’s dramatic T-V!
When you think Taylor Swift
You forget Joe Somebody.

After three days
He rose from the dead, rose from the dead
We celebrate
With Easter eggs, with Easter eggs
Almost Sunday! Where’s the bunny?
He’s getting out to lay all of those eggs
With some cash and candy
Yeah, we can decorate
Just dye those eggs with your family
Or maybe we can make a lamb cake
Sounds great, ah yeah
Take you to Easter with fam-ly
Church Sunday morning with me
Kisses from cute old ladies
Pinch your cheeks like your a baby
And then it’s when the sun sets
We drink wine and toast Jesus
You’ll never wanna miss it
And never wanna not be
At Easter with my fam-ly
At one we watch the Phillies

Baseball is back in Philly guys.
Oh yeah, this year will be fun
We were oh so close last season
But this is our year and I’ll give you a few reasons
Turner, Kyle, Bryce and of course Bohm
When a run scores at the bank
It’s like a yeungling cracked with your best mate
We’re all their cheering on our guys
Even in the heat of July
Like a left field homerun from Hall
Followed up by a big SCHWAR-BOMB
Phillies, we missed you and baseball
This offseason’s is going, going, gone

Here’s the original!
Here's Jeff's Version!
You can sing along!!
Everybody’s asking what the hell happened
When they see my face all puffy
Like I always say, “It’s allergy season
That is why my nose is so stuffy”
And I’ve got only one good nostril, I could use some soup.
So I’m gonna complain gotta headache in my brain
But I’ll tell you oh wait AACHOO!
Need a tissue, it’s the worst, just load me in the hearse
This could be my last day on earth,
Nasal drip down my throat, not to mention all the bloat
People say it’s worse than child b irth
Cause I’ve gotta man cold, I’ll tell you the hell that I’m going through.
I feel like this is the end, my sinuses in my head
The worst allergies AKA dead!

What’s goin’ on, weather?
Thought we’re in this together.
It hasn’t snowed in a year.
Hopin’ for precipitation
No snow days for our children
I miss my post shovel beer.
PJs inside out, trying all the tricks,
We need a big big storm like it’s ’96
Where is the snow?
I can’t make Frosty with mud and leaves noooo
I need a Twenty Ten Snowmaggedon
Where did it all go?
I think it all got wasted back in Buffalo…
I mean at least we made the Super Bowl
I know it exactly where it comes from
The clouds are just acting dumb
Don’t they know we really want a storm
Where is the snow? Ain’t nobody know? Where is the snow?

I love my wife and I love my mom
But they’re not the only ladies in this song
I gotta make a list
Great women, Mrs. or Miss.
I gotta think about the all time best
Like Rosa Parks, Queen Elizabeth,
Those everyone knows,
They beat out all the bros.
Amelia Earhart
Georgia O’keefe with her art
These ladies they paved the way
For all the girls that are alive today!
We’ve got an awesome gal that is Shannon!
Then Andie Summers we’re all a big fan and
Let’s not forget about all the grand champions
All the moms out there getting by
Do it better than a guy.

Here’s the original:
And Here's Jeff's Version
What do you think Parmalee will think about this one? Here are the lyrics.
Ash Wednesday, I was there last night,
Lent’s begun time to make things right,
What should I give up this year?
Help me out, should it be beer?
I hope you don’t think that I have a problem,
I just really like to scroll
On my phone all night, bright light in my sight
But no more of my phone that’s the goal
Maybe you, want to take something on
Donate blood, become a donor, shoutout Bob
Yeah, don’t be snacking at my work
Jen says it’s the worst, what are you giving up this year?
Take my ham, and you can take my cheese,
I’m through eatin’ deli meats
Never been so fit before
Only forty days? I’ll take forty more!
Take my chocolate, baby, take my wine
No just kidding, I’m a mom of five
I need all of those things to survive.
Take my kids for just one night.
Take my kids for just one night.
Take my kids for just one night.

I need a weekend, oh yeah a long one, yup
Yeah, I’ve been hearin’ it from my boss
Yeah you know I’ve had enough.
I’m going crazy
Weekend save me
Car on the highway
Finally it’s Friday
But I couldn’t ask for more
Wait, presidents worth thanking God for
So, thank Lincoln
Cause Monday we don’t have to go to work
And thank Teddy
Cause now you won’t answer emails from that jerk
And thank Kennedy,
Cause now you can chill out with your dog,
All weekend long yeah it’s the bomb, so’s this song
Thank God President’s Day!
Thank God
Thank God for the USA!

The Birds are in the Super Bowl and Jeff has been tasked with singing all about it! The song? What My World Spins Around by the one and only Jordan Davis. Here’s the original!
And Here's Jeff's Version!
Sing along with the lyrics!
I love a first sip of my beer glass the O line’s album on
It may be Christmas but I won’t miss this Super Bowl jawn.
I love the matchup of the brothers Travis versus Jason
Kansas City Chiefs and the Eagles man this’ll be fun
And I love a first down in a desert town with goal to go
And I love a Hurts juke, defense is spooked, ha ha you’re too slow.
And I love a party with my family and the drinks they flow,
Philly, this game won’t even be close
The way that it feels, AJ Brown catches a T-D
The way that we dance when the Birds win on T-V
Hey do you remember, Super Bowl win, twenty-eighteen
I can hear now our defense say, “we’re going to disney”
And Patrick Mahomes and his bro going home to some sadness,
I can’t imagine that feeling, we’ll win this
Back ninety years, our team they broke ground
When they fly back to our happy town,
Super Bowl champs we will crown.
