OT(?) - Which song should RichRod have picked?

Love the One your With

Of course anything by Morrissey

musical preferences, but this is a song I think of after last night's meltdown..

Baby Got Back by Richard Cheese.

AND I MADE MYSELF SO EASY TO LOVE 

Maybe "Ceiling Unlimited" by Rush for Denard?

"In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains"

He should have just played Inspectah Deck's opening verse in Triumph by Wu-Tang Clan.  Not that it's relevant or anything--it's just amazing.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away, know when to run
You never count your money, when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin', when the dealin's done.

Or throw everyone off with a Disney song like "A Whole New World"

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
 

It was on MGoMix for 2010 and it encapsulates the same emotions:

Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door
Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more
His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor
Mama's thinking family dinners weren't too much to ask for

Everybody here's got a story to tell
Everybody's been through their own hell
There's nothing too special about getting hurt
Getting over it, that takes the work

Cause one way or another, we'll all need each other
Nothing's gonna turn out the way you thought it would
But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover
Cause everything comes out the way it should

Blessed are the hungry, blessed are the week
Blessed are the humble, blessed are the meek
Blessed are the ones on the other side
Blessed are we for just being alive

One day I stopped wanting anything at all
The heavens opened up like a waterfall
No use in worrying about when it ends
Just for now be thankful for what i get

Cause one way or another, a man's gonna suffer
It makes no difference the way you wanted it
But friends and lovers, don't you duck and cover
Cause everything comes out the way it should in the end

Seems like life is a palindrome
You cry when you die, you cry when you're born
In between it's all about the ups and downs
Add 'em all together, they cancel each other out

Cause one way or another
One way or another
You won't get what you wanted
You'll get enough, for sure
One way or another
Winter pays for the summer
Won't get what you wanted
What you got'll be good

Someone's in the back yard, banging on the door
Daddy's gone away, he's coming back no more
His baby's curled up on a stranger's floor
Mama's thinking happy endings weren't too much to ask for

Rod gets knocked down, but he gets up again.

You're never gonna keep him down.

He'll be singing, when he's winning, he'll be singing.

"You're So Vain."

The Doors - Alabama Song (for Dee... too soon?)

Well, show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way
To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why
Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find
The next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die
I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you know why

Queen - We are the Champions (seriously this one fits):

I've paid my dues - 
Time after time - 
I've done my sentence 
But committed no crime - 
And bad mistakes 
I've made a few 
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face - 
But I've come through 

We are the champions - my friends 
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end - 
We are the champions - 
We are the champions

Can someone please supply a Groban and Lloyd Brady?  

Love always,

RichRod

by Metallica would have been appropriate and awesome....

They deserve it.

Livin' on a Prayer comes to mind as well....i think all of us feel that way...we're half way there...got the offense... now just need to improve the defense!

Given the overall context and team unity section - Lean on Me.  It worked for USC didn't it?

Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer.

....and believe I can fly.....

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

Hey, cause I believe in me, oh

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

Hey, if I just spread my wings
I can fly
I can fly
I can fly, hey
If I just spread my wings
I can fly
Fly-eye-eye

or just rolled straight into "I'm gonna piss on you" by D. Chapelle.

Then, he could have played the end of this clip: "This band is unstoppable!"

Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God
I don't know but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dogs, no smog
And Rita cooked a breakfast with no hog
I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
Finally got a call from a 5 star that doesn't want to bail out
Hooked it up on later as I hit the do'
Thinking will i work, another twenty-fo'
I gotta go cause I got me a drop top
And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop
Had to stop at a red light
Looking in my mirror not a journalist in sight
And everything is alright
I got a beep from Gibsons wife and she can fuck all night
Called up the homies and I'm askin y'all
Which park, are y'all playin basketball?
Get me on the court and I'm trouble
Last week fucked around and got a triple double
Freaking niggaz everyway like M.J.
I can't believe, today was a good day

Drove to the pad and hit the showers
Didn't even get no static from bloggers
Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me
Saw the Freep and they rolled right past me
No flexin, didn't even look in a niggaz direction
as I stretched another 20 seconds
Went to T Clem's house, they was watchin D cone rap
What's the haps on the craps
Shake em up, shake em up, shake em up, shake em
Roll em in a circle of niggaz and watch me break em
With the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven
Seven even back do' lil Joe I picked up the cash flow
Then we played bones, and DB's yellin Dominos.
Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A.
Today was a good day...
 

Hey wait, wait a minute Pooh
Stop the shit
What the fuck am I thinking about?

Some want his career alive at Michigan and some want it dead

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
And I ride, dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
 

Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It’s the, eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger…

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive

It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger…

Risin’ up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

He shouldn't have chosen one at all.

All She Wrote by T.I. Featuring Eminem........easily .....T.I. Assumes the role as RR while Eminem assumes those who want RR gone.  Great song.

Rollins Band - Hotter and Hotter

Yea I'm running hot
I'm running hot
I'm running hotter and hotter and hotter
As the years go by I can't deny the flame that burns inside me
Many times I wonder why I still act the same way
Something burning inside, I get hotter and hotter

Got green lights standing in my way
Hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter, oh Yeah I refuse, I refuse
To standing around being abused
I'm already gone when you turn your head
Don't point your finger of blame
You see me burning like the sun in your eyes
And you want to slow down but I just have to fly
I'm hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter as the days go on, man

Hotter and hotter
As the days go on
Year after year after year after year
I'm on fire
You can't stop me

No need, no need to ever burn out. I'm scorching and torching no time for front porching.
Hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter... and hotter
Hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter

The days go on and the years go by and I'm hotter and hotter and flying on by
Better looking less of same I'm on my way to up the road to the next thing
You see me burning hotter and hotter and the years go by
You wonder to yourself how come that man hasn't burned out
Don't ask me why
Got green lights in front of me

Getting hotter and hotter you see
Hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter...oh yea
Hotter and hotter and hotte and hotter and hotter you see
Hotter and hotter and hotte and hotter and hotter you see
Gasoline for breakfast, Napalm for lunch
Hotter and hotter and hotte and hotter and hotter... yea ... yea ... yea

Five Finger Death Punch - Bulletproof

You can take the money, you can take the ride
You can take it all but never get inside
You can't take my honor, you can't take my soul
You can't take the fact you'll never have control

[Chorus:]
You won't break me, no matter how hard you try
You can't shake me down, I'm fucking bulletproof
All Ive learned, it's like poison
All I've known, inside my mind
All I've seen, it's like venom
All I know, it's all that remains

You can keep the fortune and you can have the fame
You can have the shit you never will obtain
But you can't take my virtue, no you can't take my pride
You can't take the anger building up inside

[Chorus x2]

All I've learned, it's like poison
All I've known, inside my mind
All I've seen, it's like venom
All I know, it's all that remains

Nine Inch Nails - Piggy (as a FU to the media):

hey pig
yeah you
hey pig piggy pig pig pig
all of my fears came true
black and blue and broken bones you left me here I'm all alone
my little piggy needed something new
nothing can stop me now
I don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
I just don't care
hey pig
nothing's turning out the way I planned
hey pig there's a lot of things I hoped you could help me understand
what am I supposed to do I lost my shit because of you
nothing can stop me now
I don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now
I just don't care
nothing can stop me now
you don't need me anymore
