When Robbie Hart - Adam Sandler’s character in The Wedding Singer - realizes Drew Barrymore’s character is on the same plane, he hatches a plan with Billy Idol and the flight crew. Idol announces in-flight entertainment via the intercom. Sandler then proceeds to lip-synch “Grow Old with You,” a song he co-wrote for the film. It’s incredibly sweet with a dash of Sandler’s trademark humor. It’s been one of my go-to tunes for both anniversary and Valentine’s Day singing telegrams for ages. I sang it when my dad proposed to my stepmom. I sang it when surprising a longtime customer at her wedding reception, and was surprised myself when wedding guests joined me and sang along. So we decided to record a cover version. Mexico-born guitarist El Javi produced it and my duet partner Lex sang backup vocals. Mixing and mastering was done by DVLP Academy’s Drew Dugan.

“Grow Old with You” drops February 13 on streaming platforms. Pre-save it here.

Custom Singing Telegrams & Citric Acid Arts (map)

Colorado cupids are thinking outside the box of chocolates this Valentine’s Day by sending their sweethearts, family members and coworkers a Custom Singing Telegram.

Denver-based artist-entertainer Orange peel moses is a titan of the singing telegram world and the founder of Custom Singing Telegrams.

“Valentine's Day is the big dance of the singing telegram universe,” says Orange peel moses. “One Valentine’s Day, I delivered 14 telegrams. I haven't consulted Guinness yet, but that just might be a record of some kind.”

The appeal of a singing telegram, especially when compared to the tried-and-true (read: tired) gifts of chocolate and flowers, is obvious. Imagine the look on your girlfriend’s face as she is serenaded by Cupid during her company meeting. And how might your boyfriend react if Cupid spontaneously appeared at your romantic Valentine’s dinner for a tableside song?

Time permitting, each Custom Singing Telegram can be upgraded and thoughtfully personalized with popular song lyrics rewritten to fit each recipient, for an experience that’s truly unforgettable for all involved.

After all, Orange peel moses is one of the most experienced telegram artists in the Rocky Mountain West. He’s been writing and singing telegrams for nearly 20 years, and his agency has facilitated more than 4000 singing telegrams to date. Other equally talented performers on Orange peel's Custom Singing Telegrams roster include Melissa Ivey and Rachel Taulbee.

Orange peel moses and his crew have performed for former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, KMGH anchor Anne Trujillo, KUSA anchor Corey Rose, former Fox31 anchor Aristea Brady, former CBS reporter Jennifer Brice, Fox31 producer Beth Stringer, Everyday host Chris Parente, Kathie J and Daily Blast host Erica Cobb, and their entertaining antics have been featured on KMGH, KUSA, KWGN, KYGO, The Now Denver and other outlets.

In addition to personalized lyrics, an array of costumes is of course on the menu; Custom Singing Telegram artists have performed as everyone from Spider-Man to Elvis and Marilyn Monroe (either male or female) to the ever-popular Cupid.

Just think about it: Sending Cupid—a grown man dressed in a diaper and wings—to your lover's office is always guaranteed to score big laughs. Or enlisting a singing Fireman to make your Valentine sweat a little in front of his or her peers? Pure gold. Of course nothing beats having the lyrics of a recipient’s favorite karaoke jam retooled utilizing personal details.

“Laughter is a love language, and a grown man in a diaper and wings is guaranteed to facilitate some good laughs and lasting memories,” says Orange peel moses.

Other popular costumed characters for Valentine’s Day include: Love Bug, Heart, Lady Cupid, Marilyn Monroe, Queen of Hearts and Tuxedo Bo.
