Paul Marturano (Paula’s Stalker) returned to American Idol's auditions this season in East Rutherford, NJ, proclaiming himself the "Next American Idol". You may remember Marturano from season 7, when he serenaded Paula with a stalker song.
Paul Marturano and The Hairy Aureolas sang their new song "The Next Amerrickan Idle," which has already been featured on FOX affiliates nationwide. They spent the morning of the audition singing and performing the song for various morning shows and radio stations. The song includes lyrics like "Your mommy told you that you could sing but she lied to you about everything . Give up on your dreams." Video of their visit to the auditions was recently released on YouTube:
Robbie Nipple of the Hairy Aureolas didn't think the footage would make it to the American Idol episode, but did continue on to say, “Maybe next year I’ll pants Seacrest.”
Paul Marturano sang a love song dedicated to Paula that was all about stalking her. Paul's hilarious song "Stalker" included several humorous lines, and Paula was simultaneously amused and creeped out. Eventually, Simon lost patience, and security showed Paul the exit doors.
Paul took the time to sit with us for an interview and discussed various aspects of his interview process. Paul discussed his other musical endeavors and also what happened to him after security escorted him out of the audition room.
Novac from Idle Idols: For the record: What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favourite colour? Paul Marturano: AH My name is Sir Paula Abdul's Stalker Marturano My quest is to perform my music and comedy for the world while saving homeless animals from shleters before they can be euthanized and my favorite color is Green …..no wait Blue Novac: Are you a fan of American Idol? How did you decide to audition? Paul: I am a fan of the show. I have always wanted to be on the show but have never auditioned because by the time I got up the nerve I was past the age limit. So I decided that I would just go have some fun and see what happened. Novac: Did they give you a hard time because you were overage, or did they pass you through because they knew you'd make for such a fun audition? (more…)
Paul sang a long song he wrote specifically for Paula Abdul:
There is this girl I know, I follow her around.
She hasn't noticed me, it really gets me down.
I broke into her house when she wasn't there,
Took off all my clothes and tried on her underwear.
I'm always thinking of her.
I really think that I love her.
I'm not much of a talker,
so I guess that I'll just stalk her.
Yeah, I'll stalk her.
If she were a doggy, I would walk her.
If she were a blackboard, I would chalk her.
If I were Colombo, I'd Peter Falk her.
But I'm not, so I'll just stalk her.
If she were at bat with a guy on first, I would balk her.
If she were Willona from Good Times, I'd be Jimmy Walker
If she were a bathtub, I would caulk her.
The song was cut off there as the judges informed Paul that his song was creepy, and security helped escort Paul back out the audition doors.
I'm just wondering how many more puns Paul had lined up . . .
