Mike Holmes and Charlie Major Make It Right

In the 2007 episode of Holmes on Homes "Country Kitchen" (originally titled Nashville Kitchen), Mike and his crew tackled a kitchen disaster in the home of Woody and Nancy. Nancy was a sign language interpreter and taught Mike to sign a few phrases, including "Make It Right" and to fingerspell his name, M-I-K-E. Woody, on the other hand, was the manager of Canadian country music star Charlie Major. According to Charlie Major's MySpace blog entry, dated November 2007:

Charlie Major and his manager Woody Bowles had been looking for a cause for Charlie to support. Charlie was especially interested in something that had domestic impact for Canadians—and he found it close to home. To his manager's home, that is. Woody was the victim of a renovation nightmare—the kind The Holmes Foundation was founded to help put an end to. Charlie wrote a song called, "Make It Right" which happens to be Mike Holmes' trademark slogan. Charlie debuts the song on the show, and actually helps with some of the renovation work.
In honor of the Holmes Foundation, Mike and Charlie teamed up to make a music video for the song "Make it Right." The song more than adequately described the philosophy that drives Mike, and the concept behind the show that made him a legend.



Make it Right by Charlie Major

Lyrics:

Make it right (make it right)
Make it right (make it right)
If it takes all day, if it takes all night
Tell you what I’m gonna do for you
Gonna make it right

If you got a problem
Don’t know what to do
Don’t lose heart
Don’t despair
I’ll be there for you

I can take your troubles
Ease your worried mind
Take that mess that you’ve been left
And make it right

Should have been done right the first time

If you’ve been mistreated
Feel like you’ve been used
Don’t lose hope
Don’t despair
I’ll be there for you

I can take your worries
Help you sleep at night
I Come along
Take that wrong
And make it right

Should have been done right the first time

If you’re going to do it, do it right the first time
