Round One kicking off the 2005 championship

Yancy Street Gang Oct 27 2005 11:29 AM

Mookie To the tune of "Spooky" by the Classics Four. In the cool of the evening When everything was getting really crazy Mookie walks up to the plate And the Red Sox title hopes are getting hazy Carter has scored; the Mets are down by one run There are two runners on base Anything can happen with our Mookie in the batter's box Bob Stanley must be nervous We can not really know what he is thinking If he can get Mookie out It’s for sure all that champagne will be for drinking The pitch goes astray, Mookie goes head over heels And when Mitchell scores, how good it feels Anything can happen with our Mookie in the batter's box Mookie We'll remember this day that got the Red Sox hearts to start a-breaking Mookie slaps a ball that rolls past first and Shea is now a-rocking and a-shaking Buckner hangs his head; this will be haunting his dreams And we can't believe what we've seen Anything can happen with our Mookie in the batter's box Mookie Ahh, ahh, Mookie, mmm, Mookie, ahh, ahh, ahh, Mookie, ooh, Mookie Ahh, aah, aah, Mookie

Very well done but I don't know the damn song....

Edgy DC Oct 27 2005 11:48 AM

Waiting on Anita. Remind yourself about "Spooky" here.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 27 2005 12:02 PM

I don't know if this will work, but here's a link to the original: http://roadhouse-southern-rock.com/mp3s/classiciv_spooky.wma

The link works, excellent choice, I imagine Mookie might even listen to that .

TheOldMole Oct 27 2005 12:29 PM

"Spooky" was considered Southern Rock????

SwitchHitter Oct 27 2005 02:30 PM

Run, Run, Run (to the tune of "Fun, Fun, Fun" by the Beach Boys) It's the last of the ninth with the Angels ahead 2 to 1 now K-Rod on the mound, it'll be hard to score us a run now. When Wright goes down swinging it looks as if we might be done now We need to run, run, run, till we get a runner over the plate So Willie calls me and tells me "It's all up to you now" I picked up my bat and I knew what I needed to do now Just get a good hit, making sure that the ball would go through now And I can run run run, and let someone put me over the plate. I fouled off a pitch and Rodriguez, he threw me three balls now I sent the next one that he threw to the right center wall now And they don't make that catch, so I go around touching them all now Watch me run, run, run till I make it all the way to the plate. They got a run in the tenth and led with the score 3 to 2 now A single, a walk and then Donnelly, he struck out two now With the count two and and two on Cliff Floyd, that guy really came through now And they can run, run, run till all three of them get to the plate.

Awesome. If these two are any indication, it's going to be a great contest! Great jobs both of you!

Elster88 Oct 27 2005 02:38 PM

Nice job to both of you. I will never enter this contest.

Edgy DC Oct 27 2005 02:42 PM

Voting ends 24 hours after Annie's post went up.

Johnny Dickshot Oct 27 2005 03:02 PM

I had Mookie and considered Spooky once. Yes, good job both.

ScarletKnight41 Oct 27 2005 03:10 PM

And the contest gets started with a bang. Well done!

Edgy DC Oct 27 2005 03:33 PM

Yancy, down 3-2, has thundered back with eight unanswered votes. It's 8-3, Yancy Street Gang.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 27 2005 03:41 PM

I like thundering back. I don't think I've ever thundered before.

MFS62 Oct 27 2005 03:42 PM

Both good. Wasn't there a comment last year that songs that tell more about a player than just one game were preferrable to a "one-gamer"? (IIRC it may have been Annie's song about one Darryl or Doc game) In any event, both of these songs fall into the one-game mode, so it was a moot point. This one is tough. Later

metsmarathon Oct 27 2005 10:41 PM

spooky seems more challenging a song to work with, but, and maybe this is just due to my own unfamiliarity with the work, i just cant get the parody to scan for me. i voted "run"

Willets Point Oct 27 2005 11:11 PM

Did they raise the apple for the inside-the-park home run?

Edgy DC Oct 27 2005 11:16 PM

SwitchHitter is making an overnight comeback.

Nymr83 Oct 27 2005 11:55 PM

this was very close, i went with switchhitter because the song she chose i knew the tune to right away and was laughing as i read it. yancy's lyrics are funny but i had to download the song just to know it and that was enough to push switchhitter over the top for me, very good job by both however.

MFS62 Oct 28 2005 02:13 PM

Is it over, or are we going 48 hours this year? Later

TheOldMole Oct 28 2005 02:19 PM

I'll keep my ballot secret, but I loved both.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 28 2005 02:23 PM

It looks like there's another 7 minutes to go.

Nymr83 Oct 28 2005 02:30 PM

Edgy, can you watch IP addresses? i wonder if someone could make 5 new names and vote with all of them...i don't think anyone here is that desperate to win this thing but i've seen it done on other message boards and just had to ask if you'd know about it?

Centerfield Oct 28 2005 02:55 PM

Looks like it's over. Congrats Yancy. Annie, we have some nice parting gifts for you. Thanks for playing.

Yancy Street Gang Oct 28 2005 02:59 PM

Wow. I never expected to advance to the second round. Great job by Annie. She was a worthy opponent. This means I get custody of Lee Mazzilli and the rest of her guys?

ScarletKnight41 Oct 28 2005 03:04 PM

Yes Yancy - to the victor go the spoils. Annie wins by losing - she gets to open up the Loser's Lounge and she has first crack at the bar and the buffet table. Kudos to both participants on a job well done.

getalife Oct 28 2005 07:31 PM

>>> just had to ask if you'd know about it?<<< We know where everyone works, goes to school, the name of their barber, what they had for breakfast last Sunday, and if they'd vote twice. Well, only sorta. I guess someone could have a work ID and and a home ID and vote twice ... that would be so lame I wouldn't even know how to address it except ... getalife.

Giant Squidlike Creature Oct 31 2005 12:10 AM

Final Score: Yancy Street Gang 16, SwitchHitter 10.

MFS62 Nov 02 2005 04:00 PM

Congrats Yancy. SwitchHitter - good job. You get next pick of the buffet table in the loser's lounge. Enjoy. Later
