INT. RECORDING BOOTH – DAY

A massive slab of a human being sits slumped in the chair, snoring peacefully.  A pair of radio station employees stand nearby, contemplating what to do.  One of them holds a six-pack of beer.

PRODUCER: Are you sure this is a good idea?

STATION MANAGER: I mean, his agent said it was fine.  It’s the offseason.

PRODUCER: All right, but…you do it.

He pulls a can of Bud Light Lime-A-Rita from the six-pack and hands it to the STATION MANAGER.

STATION MANAGER: Okay, here we go [he pops the tab]

PRODUCER: [gasping] Did you see that?

STATION MANAGER: See what?

PRODUCER: I swear to God, his ears just moved. Like a cat’s.

STATION MANAGER: [skeptical] You’re imagining things, man.  Anyhow, his agent said to just waft it under his nose and he’ll perk right up.

The STATION MANAGER starts moving towards the sleeping figure, holding the can forward like some kind of offering…

PRODUCER: WAIT!

STATION MANAGER: [exhales roughly] What, what?

PRODUCER: He said we gotta keep these out of sight [takes the remaining cans of Lime-A-Rita and puts them into a drawer].

STATION MANAGER: Oh, yeah, good call.  That could have been bad.

The STATION MANAGER resumes creeping forward.  The slumbering giant’s nostrils twitch, then he slowly reaches a hand forward, fumbling open and closed until the STATION MANAGER pushes the beer into his massive paw.  His eyes slowly open.

GRONK: [groggily] WAZZZUUUUUPPPPP?

PRODUCER: Rob, do you know where you are?

GRONKOWSKI: [blinking, looking around] Am I in jail?

STATION MANAGER: No…

GRONK: THEN I DON’T CARE WHERE I AM LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED YEAAAAHHHHH!!! [pounds the Bud Light]

PRODUCER: We will, we will, we just gotta get the segment started first.

STATION MANAGER: So, I don’t know if you heard…or remember hearing…but we’ve got some good news.  Electronic Arts selected you for the cover of this year’s Madden.

GRONK: Sweet!  Let’s celebrate!

PRODUCER: Oh, for sure.  So we thought for Request Line this week…

GRONK: I WANNA ROCK! ROCK! DUH DUH NA DUH NA…[starts banging his head]

PRODUCER: …we could ask people to send in request for songs that are from, about, or inspired by video games.

GRONK: Aw, sweet, I LOVE video games.

STATION MANAGER: Great!  So, just introduce the segment…

GRONK: …and then party?

STATION MANAGER: Absolutely.  Just give us a second to get rolling…

GRONK: [blinking, glancing around the room distractedly]

PRODUCER: Rob?

GRONK: Sorry, man, gotta go!

GRONK leaps up from the chair, lowers his shoulder, and crashes through the studio wall, leaving behind a gigantic hole.  The PRODUCER and STATION MANAGER lean through the hole and look out in to the morning sunlight, where they see GRONK sprinting away in hot pursuit of a Budweiser delivery truck.

Welp, you heard it, folks.  Songs from, about, and “inspired by” video games.  I’ll get you started with a carryover from the old KSK days:
