And here we go - Shawon Dunston's Lament I was bitchin' when I came here Wasn't sure I was gonna play But I was born in Brooklyn And decided a Met I'd stay I thought I might retire Sick of bein' traded everywhere But playin' ball for Bobby Vee, You know I really learned to care But then Old Square Jaw threw to Andruw with a full count, Oops, high outside! And that stopped the Mets' big party back in 1999! I was bitchin' when I came here But learned to like the Mets real fast My life was just a party And parties aren't meant to last Wild Card was earned by us The Reds fell under the Leit; Off to Arizona And we played games in the middle of the night But then Old Square Jaw threw to Andruw with a full count, Oops, high outside! And that stopped the Mets' big party back in 1999! Todd Pratt started off the party By homerin' over Finley's glove Facin' Atlanta for the pennant This team, I was ready to love The first three games were a real bomb Until we rallied at Shea Ventura Grand Slam Singled, we Had one more game to play But then Old Square Jaw threw to Andruw with a full count, Oops, high outside! (We ran right outta time) And that stopped the Mets' big party back in 1999! Say, say, Old Square Jaw threw to Andruw with a full count, Oops, high outside! And that stopped the Mets' big party back in 1999! Yes it was 1999! You say it, 1999! 1999! 1999! Don't stop, don't stop, say it 1 more time! 1999!

Good stuff! And in the spirit of just missing the World Series... I WISH YOU HADN'T TRIMMED YOUR OWN GARDEN (With love to Bobby Ojeda...because Near Tragedy + Time = Song Parody) I beg your pardon I wish you hadn't trimmed your own garden Because of your bushes Lasorda's Dodgers went and kicked our tushes You were making enough bucks To hire gard'ning trucks That would work for Bobby O I beg your pardon I wish you hadn't trimmed your own garden The Mets had promised us things Like championship rings Based on strong and healthy starting Four-man rotations Not your dopey carnations Well, the edges of your hedges Did look nice and clean But you trimmed from our staff a big-time Southpaw pitching stud When your digit started spouting blood So, reattach your fingertip is what they did While Kirk Gibson teed off on El Sid In the fifth game of the Eighty-Eight LCS I beg your pardon I wish you hadn't trimmed your own garden More than leaving in Gooden That's my biggest retroactive shouldn't I beg your pardon I wish you hadn't trimmed your own garden You were as clutch as they could come You were no bum But without your left arm to help us We had to watch the pennant go Yet there's one thing I want you to know The Yellow Pages lists the pros Who trim and can mow Landscapers don't have to cost you A proverbial limb Figura-tive-ly speakin' So, go back to the shed And put away your clipper For gosh sake, keep it away From your zipper Try to keep your appendages all intact I beg your pardon I wish you hadn't trimmed your own garden And near October It wouldn't hurt if you'd remain sober Lyrics here. YouTube here.

Very nice G!

Nice work by both.

Edgy MD Dec 01 2008 07:48 AM

I want to dock Greg pointies for that creepy video.

Fman99 Dec 01 2008 10:40 AM

Since I can't access YouTube from work I am withholding judgement until I know what song MF is parodying.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 01 2008 10:42 AM

Hint: It rhymes with "1999" Quality pair here

Looks like they pulled the plug on fairy's video?

Looks like they pulled the plug on fairy's video? I was goofing around over the weekend and posted a youtube slideshow.

Da da da da DAH! Da da-da da da! Da da da da DAH! Da da-da da da! Mookie Wilson said When I was young and fleet Kinda speed I had Could make a catcher excrete Let it all hang out Let it all hang out And you know I don't roid up No shriveled testes In my cup Let it all hang out Let it all hang out

I looked for a replacement since she doesn't seem to be around. Apparently, Prince (or whatever he calls himself these days) has youtube issues:: Watch out! Don't upload any Prince videos! They are being deleted immediately from Youtube, in order of mister Prince himself. He used to be cool. Not anymore. So it's not up here, all those songs.

themetfairy Dec 01 2008 12:53 PM

It was working this morning. Oh bother....

themetfairy Dec 01 2008 12:56 PM

You can stream a small sample here.

Mets Guy in Michigan Dec 01 2008 02:19 PM

Too very outstanding efforts!!!!!

SteveJRogers Dec 01 2008 02:23 PM

On the account of TAFKATAFKA Prince being too vigilant in his internet crackdowns, and Greg's piece being more Ojeda-esque than SK's was Dunston-esque (Sorry, but it reads more like a 1999 piece than a Dunston piece) I'm going with Greg on this one. Despite that crazy SIMS video. There are no concert clips of Lynn Anderson on YouTube?

G-Fafif Dec 01 2008 02:30 PM

The Real Lynn for those who find the iClone version a tad creepy.

Fman99 Dec 01 2008 09:30 PM

These were both great but I went with G's tribute to ol' stupid Bobby O.

Centerfield Dec 02 2008 12:17 PM

Great work by both!

themetfairy Dec 03 2008 05:38 AM

Since we have gone 48 hours, I concede this match to my worthy and gracious opponent (who went above and beyond the call of duty by quietly telling me about a glaring error in my parody before he posted his own). Hopefully he will make me Secretary of Parody when he wins the whole thing.

G-Fafif Dec 03 2008 11:21 AM

A pleasure to play in against such a skilled and worthy opponent. Thanks to all for "listening" to us both.

Zvon Dec 03 2008 03:39 PM

Both excellently done
