Sorry to have to post this here early Mole, but I have the day from Hell coming up and don't want to leave you waiting around for me all day.

Willets Point Oct 31 2005 12:04 AM

"Up on the Hill and Far Away" Goodbye Lee, we've got the stud we need A Yalie, he's hot stuff Oh Darling, Darling, Darling, he's got the arm we need Oh he's got so much... Many girls have loved - Many teen girls smitten Many eyes have gazed at Ron from head to toe Many batters try - Many swing and missing Many times we win, the dream begins to grow Many dream the Mets can go far with this winning Ron lives for the dream and a ring made out of gold. This fellow is a man who gets the no-decision Many many wins he really should be owed. Many think of Straw, and Mex and Nails and Gooden But this fine Hawaiian; you really ought to know, ooh! You really ought to know...

Damn. I actually thought that this was Mole's until I scrolled back up. Nicely done.

Here's mine... I WANNA BE SEDATED I pitched a no hitter for Binghamton I wanna be sedated But then I got hit with that depression I wanna be sedated Well everybody thought that I could pull that chain I blew out my elbow it was nothin’ but pain I can't control my fingers I can't control my brain Oh no no no no no 80 miles an hour that’s how hard I can throw Am I just a minor leaguer or a Long Island Duck I can't control my fingers how am I gonna chuck Just give me that Prozac and I won’t give a fuck Oh no no no no no Only 32 and I’m already scarred I wanna be sedated Got another chance as a St. Louis Card I wanna be sedated Got to show LaRussa I can pitch with verve Hurry hurry hurry before I lose my nerve I can't control my fingers I can't control my curve Oh no no no no no Nine nine nine innings to go... Ba-ba-bamp-ba ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba I wanna be sedated Ba-ba-bamp-ba ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba I wanna be sedated Ba-ba-bamp-ba ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba I wanna be sedated Ba-ba-bamp-ba ba-ba-ba-bamp-ba I wanna be sedated

Wow! Best. First-round. Matchup. Ever.

Edgy DC Oct 31 2005 07:58 AM

I have to climb the mountain and consult the wise one before voting on this.

We should make sure when songs are posted that it's clear what song is being parodied, and who the player is, since some songs don't mention the player's name. (I was able to figure out that Annie was doing Marlon Anderson, and that Mole is doing Bill Pulsipher, but it may not always be so easy to figure.) Also, I can't identify which song Willets' Ron Darling parody is based on.

Edgy DC Oct 31 2005 10:45 AM

Don't tell me you guys never got the Led out... Jimmy Page, Robert Plant...? Ring any bells...? What about Sabbath...? AC/DC? Motorhead...? Oh, what do they teach in this place?! http://www.emp3world.com/mp3/15435/Led%20Zeppelin/Over%20the%20Hills%20and%20Far%20Away

"Over the Hills and Far Away" by Led Zeppelin. I think its good for people to have to figure it out for a few hours before the submitter tells them (which generally is what we do).

ScarletKnight41 Oct 31 2005 11:58 AM

It's a risk, though. I'm more likely to vote with a known song over one that I can't figure out.

metirish Oct 31 2005 12:00 PM

I need to think about this one over lunch.

TheOldMole Oct 31 2005 12:24 PM

Either way can work. Great parody, Willets.

Centerfield Oct 31 2005 01:05 PM

Good job both of you. A really tough call, I had to read them both a few times. I voted for the song about the pitcher that thought too much on the mound and frustrated people by never living up to his potential.

seawolf17 Oct 31 2005 01:12 PM

Wow. This gets harder the more I sing both of them.

Diamond Dad Oct 31 2005 04:25 PM gotta

gotta go with Willets, since I couldn't figure out who the player was for the Old Mole. Love the 80's references, however!! My time. DD

DD no-hitter for binghamton, throws 80-mph, long island ducks...i knew it was Pulsipher, but yeah i'd like to see the guy's name mentioned unless it is in the song.

TheOldMole Oct 31 2005 08:25 PM

Next time I'll remember.

sharpie Nov 01 2005 08:43 AM

Looks like Willets wins a nail-biter. Great work, both of you.

Willets Point Nov 01 2005 09:41 AM

{Jumps over net to shake hands with Old Mole} Well played, old chap!

Johnny Dickshot Nov 01 2005 09:52 AM

I was so torn on this one, I must have cast the last vote -- thankfully not the deciding one. In the end I went with "This fellow is a man who gets the no-decision."

TheOldMole Nov 01 2005 10:28 AM

Willets -- the better man won. I'll be rooting for you the rest of the way (which means I'll recuse myself from voting in your competitions).

SwitchHitter Nov 01 2005 11:38 AM

Mole, come join me in the Losers' Lounge.

TheOldMole Nov 01 2005 03:47 PM

I couldn't ask for better company.

Willets Point Nov 01 2005 03:56 PM

Mole wins for graciousness.
