A LONG LONG TIME AGO
I CAN STILL REMEMBER HOW
IN MID-OCTOBER THE SPARTANS WERE A JOKE
AND I KNEW THAT THE WOLVERINES WOULD WIN
KEEPING THEIR DOMINANCE IN MICHIGAN
AND, MAYBE, THE SPARTANS WOULD ALWAYS CHOKE

*****

BUT THEN LLOYD CARR WANTED TO RETIRE
AND WE FOUND RICHROD, THEN HOKE TO HIRE
THE WOLVERINES WOULD NOSEDIVE
AND SOMEHOW THE SPARTANS DID THRIVE

*****

I CAN’T REMEMBER IF I CRIED
WHEN BLAKE FUMBLED AND STATE SURVIVED
BUT SOMETHING TOUCHED ME DEEP INSIDE
THE DAY THE SPARTANS DIED

*****

SO
BYE, BYE TO YOUR POSTSEASON DRIVE
PUSHED YOUR LUCK, NOW YOU SUCK, AND YOUR TIME HAS ARRIVED
AND THEM GOOD OLE DAYS OF BEING RANKED AND ALIVE
IS NOW “NEED TO WIN MORE THAN 5”
“NEED TO WIN MORE THAN JUST 5”

*****

DID YOU THINK THE CRIMSON TIDE
STOLE ALL THE RECRUITS NATIONWIDE
AND WOULDN’T BEAT DANTONIO?
OH, DID YOU BELIEVE THAT THE SPARTY SHAM
WAS SUPPOSED TO CHALLENGE A REAL PROGRAM,
AND GET MORE POINTS THAN ZERO?

*****

WELL, I KNOW THAT MARK FELT DISRESPECT
WHILE HIS TEAM BECAME A USELESS WRECK
THEIR FANS, THEY STARTED TO BOO
EVEN LOSING TO THE STRUGGLING COUGS

*****

NO AMOUNT OF COUCHES CAN EXIST
TO SATISFY THAT BURNING ITCH
OF ALL THE SPARTY FANS WHO WERE PISSED
THE DAY THEIR SPARTANS DIED

*****

SO WE STARTED SINGIN’
BYE, BYE TO YOUR POSTSEASON DRIVE
PUSHED YOUR LUCK, NOW YOU SUCK, AND YOUR TIME HAS ARRIVED
AND THEM GOOD OLE DAYS OF BEING RANKED AND ALIVE
IS NOW “NEED TO WIN MORE THAN 5”
“NEED TO WIN MORE THAN JUST 5”

*****

NOW, FOR SOME TIME WE ALL HAVE KNOWN
SPARTY HAS SEATED THE MICHIGAN THRONE
BUT, THAT’S NOT HOW IT USED TO BE

*****

WHEN HART SAID THEY ARE JUST LITTLE BRO
HE REALLY TICKED OFF DANTONIO
AND SPARTY HAD A 8 YEAR WINNING SPREE

*****

OH, THE NATION WAS IMPRESSED, OF COURSE
SUPPOSED TO BE A BIG 10 FORCE
THEY WERE TEAM DESTINY
NOW ALMOST LAST IN THE EAST

*****

AND WHILE HARBAUGH HAS MUCH TO DO
LIKE DRINK WHOLE MILK AND BEAT OSU 
WE KNOW HE CAN MAKE ONE THING TRUE
ON OCTOBER TWENTY NINTH

*****

WE WERE SINGIN’
BYE, BYE TO YOUR POSTSEASON DRIVE
PUSHED YOUR LUCK, NOW YOU SUCK, AND YOUR TIME HAS ARRIVED
AND THEM GOOD OLE DAYS OF BEING RANKED AND ALIVE
IS NOW “NEED TO WIN MORE THAN 5”
“NEED TO WIN MORE THAN JUST 5”

Hatter, I get to be Simon, which means you get all the girls, but I still end up with Edie Brickell.  Which is OK.  But a Don McLean song won't really work as a duet.  Instead, I submit for your consideration:

THE SOUND OF SPARTY

HELLO SPARTY LITTLE FRIEND,

IT'S NICE TO DEFEAT YOU AGAIN,

BECAUSE A VISION QUICKLY CREEPING

LEFT LEWERKE SUDDENLY SLEEPING

IT WAS WORMLEY THAT WAS PLANTED IN HIS BRAIN

AND HIS REMAINS ARE ON THE FIELD OF SPARTY

AND DANTONIO WALKED ALONE

AMONG HIS PLAYERS' SHATTERED BONES

NEATH AN OCTOBER TRASH TORNADO

THE BROKEN SPARTANS WE DON'T REALLY KNOW

ARE FULL OF WOE ON THE FIELD OF SPARTY

This is great, but it's not nearly long enough (TWSS) to be American Pie:

 

I MET A GIRL IN MAIZE AND BLUE

AND I ASKED HER FOR SOME HAPPY NEWS

BUT SHE JUST SMILED AND PARTIED ON

 

I WENT TO THE MGOBLOG STORE

WHERE I'D BOUGHT A TSHIRT YEARS BEFORE

BUT THE MAN THERE SAID THE TSHIRTS WERE ALL GONE

 

AND IN EAST LANSING THE CHILDREN SCREAMED

THE COEDS CRIED, THE STUDENTS STEAMED

BUT NOT A WORD WAS SPOKEN

(THEIR LEAPFROGS ALL WERE BROKEN)

 

AND THE THREE MEN I ADMIRE MOST:

JIM HARBAUGH, HIS DAD, AND HIS BROTHER;

THEY ALL KNEW THAT TEAM WAS TOAST

THE DAY THE SPARTANS DIED

etc.

I want to re-record this. His voice is so awful I can barely take it. If you're gonna talk through it at least be clear enough so we can understand you. Lyrics are pretty funny though

He played hard, played tough, did a great job came up a little short on the execution.  Let's call a timeout and try this same play with a player to be named latter.

May be Vader someday later now he's just a small fry...

 

Not sure if sad or weird al being a genius that I always think of his star wars song before the original.

LOL at all the vocalists on the board.  Like that chick who shows up at karaoke and just happens to have been all-state high school choir, sing song.

Hilarious and great work! 

 

Beat State!!

I have never heard of this song. I thought it was about the movie.

EDIT: Never mind, now I know it. Well done, guy who made the pardoy.

Yeah, the singing voice sucks, but nice concept, and a couple lines of the lyrics were actually pretty solid.  Could go for a longer version with some improved lyrics, sung by somebody that can sing.
