In 2013, Disney’s “Frozen” took the world by storm, captivating audiences globally with its enchanting story and memorable soundtrack.
The film’s standout song, “Let It Go,” became a sensational hit, echoing through the halls of countless homes as children and even their parents couldn’t help but sing along.
Among those caught in the whirlwind of “Frozen” mania was Bob Herzog, a WKRC traffic reporter from Cincinnati.
The catchy tune had become a staple in his household, endlessly replayed by his kids until the lyrics and melody were etched into his memory.
He decided to give it his own creative twist.
Inspired by the song’s pervasive charm, Herzog, leveraging his expertise as a weatherman and traffic reporter, crafted a witty parody titled “Just Don’t Go.”
The song cleverly advises against venturing out into snowy conditions, emphasizing the safety of staying home over the risks of navigating treacherous winter roads.
Herzog’s parody is a lighthearted yet informative take on the challenges of winter driving.
He highlights the perils of icy roads and the common hazards drivers and pedestrians face during this frosty season, all while echoing the catchy refrain, “Just don’t go!”
One viewer commented:
“This is the best parody Ive heard of Let it Go. You sir, are amazing. You deserve the worlds best slow clap ever.”
He hilariously plays the part too.
In a delightful twist, Herzog channels his inner Queen Elsa in the music video, braving the snowy landscape and narrowly avoiding slips and slides.
He humorously depicts the chaos of winter traffic, showcasing cars struggling for traction on icy streets.
It’s a song that frankly, has it all!
The video is not just a parody but a fusion of entertainment, information, and a gentle reminder of winter driving safety.
Herzog’s transformation into a fun and amusing character offers a refreshing break from the usual traffic reporting style.
Another viewer shared:
“I would actually look forward to the news, especially the traffic, with this guy!”
No one could keep quiet.
Upon unveiling his creation, the newsroom erupted in laughter, with Herzog himself joining in, albeit with a hint of embarrassment.
He shared that he had previewed the song (but not the video) for his kids the night before, only to be met with their sheepish reactions.
He’s a man of many talents.
Herzog’s “Just Don’t Go” is part of his “Dance Party Friday” segment on the news program, where he regularly entertains viewers with parodies of popular songs.
His creative renditions, such as turning Elton John’s “Rocket Man” into “Traffic Man” and Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana” into “Drive Indiana,” have become a hit on his YouTube channel, with this particular parody amassing over 2.8 million views.
