"It's music to a bowler's ears." That's the slogan of something totally new on the bowling scene -- a music CD/cassette titled "Bowl Me Over," featuring ten songs inspired by, you guessed it, bowling.
What bowlers and music lovers might not guess is that these songs, with titles such as "Four-Step Approach" and "When Love Strikes," are not gimmicky novelty tunes. From hot contemporary country sounds to 60s rock-n-roll, this recording is easy-on-the-ears and very entertaining. The clever lyrics have been professionally set to original Nashville-quality music. Some songs have already received radio airplay.
Designed for bowling center jukeboxes and sound systems, the music is also making fast gains in the consumer market. "Bowl Me Over" makes a perfect gift for bowling friends.
But perhaps the biggest surprise of this unique new product is that the featured singer is a professional bowler, 11-time PBA champion Randy Pedersen. Pedersen contributes two vocals -- the bowling league anthem "Let the Good Times Roll" and the comic "Beer Frame Blues" -- and proves he can carry a tune as well as he carries a ten pin.
Bowl Me Over mixes uptempo dance songs with ballads, all designed to set the mood for league night, said song-writer/producer, Tom Dermody. "We can't guarantee that listening to it in your car while driving to the lanes will add pins to your score, but we can guarantee it will psyche you up for the good times to come," he said.
