“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Toe-Tapping Tunes (Part 1)”!

Hi, everyone!

Around this time of year, many people find themselves faced with a decision: whether or not to attend a dance or other event involving dancing. Whether this event is prom, another end-of-school dance, a music festival, an outdoor concert, or any number of other events, the start of summer means everyone wants to shake their tail feathers!

Just the idea of dancing makes some people nervous. But don’t worry: we at Jammin’ with Jamie have you covered with this two-part theme!

The next time a flash mob breaks out, don’t sweat it on the sidelines: sweat it out in the spotlight in the middle of the dance floor with the smooth moves you learned by jammin’ with us to…

Put on your dancing shoes!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Parental Tunes”!

Hi, everyone!

Last weekend sure was busy! Captain America: Civil War opened in theaters Thursday night, Free Comic Book Day was on Saturday, and Mother’s Day was on Sunday!

… Now that you’re done panicking because you forgot, it’s time for us to continue another grand Jammin’ with Jamie tradition and celebrate our moms, dads, and other parental figures in one of the best ways I know how: by jammin’ to…

Why? Because I said so!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Jungle Jams”!

Hi, everyone!

As we discussed last month, now that spring is here, we’re seeing a lot more animals again!

Also, Disney’s newest animated film, Zootopia, opened in theaters last month (If you haven’t seen it, you really should!) and Disney’s live action remake of The Jungle Book opens next week!

Some people complain about animals. I don’t see the point in that. Humans share the Earth with all sorts of amazing creatures, so why not embrace it?

Start brushing up on your animal impressions, because this week, we’re jammin’ to…

The suspense is driving me WILD!

Thoughts On: “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday”

Before we get started, follow Pee-wee Herman’s adventures on his official website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and his new YouTube channel, and join his FREE Premium Diamond Platinum Fan Club!

I’ve written about Pee-wee Herman twice before. Both times, I predicted I’d end up writing about Pee-wee’s Big Holiday when it was released on Netflix.

… I’m psychic!

I was so excited for Pee-wee’s Big Holiday that I stayed up until 12:00 am PT––– 2:00 am my time––– to watch it the second it premiered!

This was how I looked just before 2:00 am on March 18.

Thank goodness I was on a different floor with the door closed… otherwise, my constant laughter would’ve woken everybody up!

That’s about how high I jumped every time I heard news about “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday.”

Here’s the trailer…

Pee-wee’s Big Holiday is written by Paul Reubens and Paul Rust, directed by John Lee, and produced by Judd Apatow. (You all know how much it means to me to see someone who’s both a writer and a performer!)

Let’s do this!

“Ha ha!”

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Election Lyrics”!

Hi, everyone!

If you’ve been exposed to any sort of news outlet in the past few months, you’re well aware that this is an election year.

Elections, especially high-profile ones, are, by nature, divisive. Passionate people on any side of any issue clash like never before with people on another side. Sometimes, there are intelligent, respectful debates of viewpoints in which both sides are listening and open to greater understanding.

… Other times, there aren’t.

With all the insanity, we all need a chance to some together for a special brand of insanity we can all support… Jammin’ with Jamie! No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, this Saturday, you’ll want to be on our team, as we jam to…

All in favor, say, “Aye!”

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Songs of Friendship: Redux!”

Hi, everyone!

Thank you again to all of you to stayed with us so patiently as we worked through unexpected technical difficulties last week.

To make up for lost time, I decided to not only carry over the songs we had to skip over last week for the sake of time, but also the whole theme, giving us…

Let’s do this! … Again!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Songs of Friendship!”

Hi, everyone!

Oftentimes, it can seem like there’s just too much emphasis on romantic relationships.

So, after our annual Jammin’ with Jamie Valentine’s Day shows, I like to turn the attention to something that I don’t think gets celebrated nearly enough…

Then let’s celebrate!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Sidesplitting Serenades (Part 2)!”

Hi, everyone!

Valentine’s Day may be over, but we’re still celebrating on Jammin’ with Jamie in our own unique way!

Our last jam session was met with some great reactions, proving once more that no matter what your feelings are about Valentine’s Day, hilarious music unites us all!

After our previous jam session was such a hit, now I’m even more excited for us to continue jammin’ to…

It’s love at first listen!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Rousing Refrains!”

Hi, everyone!

At this time of year, it seems like a lot of people start to lose their spirits. The novelty of the new year has worn off and they start giving up on their resolutions. The holiday season has ended, but the cold weather and limited daylight remain.

Well, one thing I love to do on Jammin’ with Jamie is motivate you!

In fact, one of the best ways to get motivated is to have a song in your head, so with that in mind, let’s jam to…

“I’m pumped! Let’s go!”

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Jamie’s Favorite Jams (Part 2)”!

Hi, everyone!

Our final Jammin’ with Jamie jam session is this Saturday, June 13, from 6:00 to 9:00 am!

Well… here we are.

From the instant I found out I was going to be on the air for the first time in October 2011––– before the show was even called Jammin’ with Jamie––– I knew the show would have an end date.

I expected the end date to be “as soon as someone other than my parents heard my voice on an audio-only medium.”

I had to re-apply for my slot three times a year, so for a while, there was also the possibility that someone else would get the slot.

But at this point, I’m moving on to a new chapter in my life. I’m filled with that trademark mix of excitement and worry that comes every time you embark on a new start––– something I always encourage you Jammers to do on my show, making sure I always give you the proper motivational melodies to get stuck in your head and give you that extra push when you need it.

I want to assure all of you: the last time I sign off of Jammin’ with Jamie isn’t the last you’ll hear from me. In fact, it’s just the beginning. Make sure you keep checking this website, my Twitter, and my YouTube account, and we can keep up with each other’s adventures together!

So with that, I give you our final Jammin’ with Jamie jam session theme. Are you ready?

Let’s jam!
