Nobody Asked, But...PARODY ENCORE! PARODY ENCORE!

From the Now It Can Be Told Department: I had another parody prepared for the finals that I liked every bit as much as "Scenes From A Municipal Stadium," but I felt it wasn't quite what I wanted to send into a battle to decide The Championship of the World. Now that it's over, consider this a bonus track or the aural equivalent of my postseason barnstorming tour. Because I drew him, and because I retain soft spots for songs almost nobody else can stand, I give you... STUCK WITH JEFF McKNIGHT Gonna tweak the roster But not do it right Gonna purchase the contract Of Jeff McKnight Taking off from Norfolk He'd be on that flight Next day you'd say at Shea "Hey, that's Jeff McKnight" When... Not another middling Met Was deemed fit to play And... The Mets were already Twenty out anyway We wouldn't fly a pennant We'd go fly a kite With a team boasting talent Like Jeff McKnight As if to wave a flag Made of white on white Surrender's your best option Behind Jeff McKnight How The Mets lacked fight! Stuck with Jeff McKnight! Ah... Stuck with Jeff McKnight! Ah... Stuck with Jeff McKnight! Went through uniform numbers Like some bulbs burn light His prospects growing dim They were never bright Average weight And average height Were the glowing statistics From Jeff McKnight Failure To ignite! Stuck with Jeff McKnight! Ah... Stuck with Jeff McKnight! Ah... Stuck with Jeff McKnight! Ple-e-ease... Just give him his release And don't bring him back Se-e-e... There's not a single skill set That he doesn't lack The Irish have a word I believe it's "shite" For another dismal season Of that Jeff McKnight Indicative of our early Nineties plight Was our overreliance Upon Jeff McKnight Triumph Of the trite! Stuck with Jeff McKnight! Why... Why recall McKnight? Why... Why recall McKnight? Why, why, why... Why, why, why... Why, why, why... Why recall McKnight? Lyrics here. YouTube here:

Hey, I liked that song. And I would have voted for your parody. This isn't the first time there's been a thread for unused parodies. Later

Fuck, that's incredible. Why are the B-sides always better than the released stuff?

I could go for some afternoon delight about now. Is that wrong to say?
