A Song for the Season - 2011
You might recall that last year about this time, I wrote a song for the season, lyrics to Don McLean's American Pie. I felt the creative urge this year and Ive hit the legal pad again. Last year we were coming off a horrible, messy offseason, and something uplifting with a deeper message felt right. This year, Hoke has been recruiting so well and we're getting so much press, I'm feeling the rockstar vibe.
To the tune of Walk this Way - Aerosmith:
Brand new sideline mayor, always pointin’ at the players

Love it, this was good. Thanks, now we just need Stephen Tyler to sing it for us.

I am waiting for the Run DMC version...

I respect that you took the time to do this, but why?
August 16th, 2011 at 7:46 PM ^
Why not?
August 16th, 2011 at 9:07 PM ^
good answer!

BF I've liked your work in the past.
I also applaud your strategy of flipping the burden to the person who initially asks you "why?" Burden flipping is ALWAYS step 1 of debate IMHE.
However, you're the one who produced something (and for that also you're to be applauded). Therefore, the burden remains on you.
And as of now I'm not sure you've met your burden.

he made it because he loves michigan football.

For purposes of MGoBlog, such creativity requires no reason, especially if it involves Michigan football (or any of our varisty sports).

Because like you, me, and the rest of the Maize and Blue faithful, we're teetering on the edge of insanity because of lack of Michigan football and the anxiousness of the impending season. Of course, it could be just sheer boredom. Either way, it's very creative. Well done sir!

You said it once - why say it again?
Perhaps I should consult with Aerosmith.
But aren't "refrains" redundant? I mean, shit "brah," you said "Yeah this is Michigan, Guaranteed" 6 times!
August 17th, 2011 at 5:31 PM ^
The song refrains that many times.
August 16th, 2011 at 10:25 PM ^
Well done.
August 17th, 2011 at 12:12 AM ^
Good solid stuff here.
August 17th, 2011 at 11:59 AM ^

August 18th, 2011 at 7:39 PM ^
