Howard Stern’s favorite musical bad boy, Red Peters, is serenading Mr. Media!



Red Peters is the king of uncensored comedy music.

While working as a writer and producer at a commercial music production company in Boston in the mid ‘80s, Peters and his writing partner Ed Grenga, began creating and recording off-color and double entendre songs as a relief from the pressures and restrictions of the uptight, corporate advertising and network television music business.

In 1984, as a joke, they wrote and recorded “Bl-w Me (You Hardly Even Know Me),” a big band production using the studio musicians and singers from their commercial sessions. Surprisingly, it became an instant cult classic.

In 2005, Peters’ mellow single, “I Can’t Say These Things,” was adopted by Howard Stern as the anthem for his struggle with the FCC in the waning days before leaving terrestrial radio and as his initial theme song at Sirius Satellite Radio.

Peters now entertains millions on his own Sirius XM Satellite Radio program, The Red Peters Comedy Music Hour on Howard 101, showcasing rare, uncut and uncensored original comedy music talent.

His latest CD, Red Peters Presents: The Summer Song Sizzler, contains 16 hilarious, uncut and uncensored songs by the best and the brightest artists interviewed on his Sirius XM program.
