OTish: Private Eye (Ryan Day Spoof Song)
My son and I perform a fun song based on Lyin' Eyes by The Eagles called Private Eye about our friend Ryan Day. It's just for fun and I hope it makes y'all laugh or smile!

Well done, but I'll admit I was hoping for a Hall & Oates - Private Eyes cover when I saw the thread title.

Lois is not coming back for Oates!

"I see you, and you see me
Watching both of the lines with their blocking so clean
Oh, Connor, you ought to know
What your eyes overlook, your camera will show
To your coach
When he does play design, he can't escape my....
Private eyes, they're watching you...."
In all seriousness, the OP did an excellent job, but I thought I would at least begin to fulfill your wish as well.

I was hoping for some Alkaline Trio.

+1 not only for the wordplay, but also for the obscurity of this picture. Kaline on the left, and I think the other two are Jake Wood and Rocky Colavito, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
Kaline should have been a pitcher or a catcher. That way, Ernie Harwell would have been able to say, "Al Kaline - what a great part of a battery!"
I'll show myself out ...

yep, wood and colavito.
i always though colavito had a fringe case for the hall of fame. perennial mvp candidate, perennial 100-rbi, 30-hr guy, drew a bunch of walks, scored runs…but he bounced around a bunch, never played in the world series (no divisional playoffs, back in the day), and he was done by the time he was 33. his closest comps are guys like frank howard and roy seivers and jermaine dye - excellent players who could help you win a championship but who were a notch below all-timer status.

Colavito should have played in the World Series in 1961, when he had 45 HRs and 140 RBIs, and the Tigers won 101 games. But of course, that was the year the Yankees won 109 games behind the Maris and Mantle race for Babe Ruth's HR record.
A case of bad timing if ever there was.

Besides his great offensive numbers, Colavito also had one helluva good throwing arm. I think he's a HOF'r if only he'd been able to play another 2 or 3 productive seasons.

BRAVO!!
Also, very cool that you and your son share a passion for music (and Michigan).
November 30th, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
Awesome!
November 30th, 2023 at 10:19 PM ^
That was great!
Post the lyrics on here.

Ryan Day seemed to find out early
How to win from third base with his team
A rich old booster and he won't have to worry
About his Just for Men and shaving cream
Saturday, The Big House isn't friendly
Paying 5 star recruits has its price
Buckeye tears flow since last November
Harbaugh's revenge is cold as ice
Ryan Day told Greg Schiano
He'll send Harbaugh's signals to Purdue
The Buckeye team is as soft as Charmin
Collude, and Purdue will know what to do
Ryan Day hired a private eye
Connor Stalions is in disguise
ESPN just realized
OSU just hired a private eye
The Big Ten wonders how it got this crazy
The Buckeyes didn't come here to play school
Did the Buckeyes tire or did they just get lazy
The Wolverines just made them look like fools
My oh my, Stalions knows how to steal things
He did it so well, not carefully
Ain't it funny what sign stealing does bring
Everybody does it to some degree
Repeat chorus
Ryan Day hired a private eye
OSU hired a private eye
