We had agreed on posting Monday but I'm two hours early. Won't have time tomorrow at work probably. --- Song: “The Ballad of Gary - 'The Kid'" Subject: Gary Carter A Parody Of: “The Ballad of Billy the Kid” by Billy Joel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From a town known as Culver City, Cali' Came a star for the middle of the order And the way he played in his prime Made him a legend in his time North and South of Canada's border Well, he started with a team in Montreal On some real crap squads, he was hid But with his bat and his glove Playing a game he did love And the word spread of Gary - "The Kid" Well, Cashen wanted him in the Apple He had a trade in the works In December '84 "The Kid" came to town Away went Mike and Herm Away went Floyd and Brooks You just knew good things would be going down Well, in '86 he was with the Amazins That team sure did turn some heads He led them to an early clinch He even played third in a pinch After that big brawl with the Reds (PIANO INTERLUDE) Well, it looked bleak in inning 10 But the fans said "ya gotta believe" - we did! And Carter got that first hit You knew the Mets wouldn't quit Who scored first? Gary - "The Kid" Well, he hung it up as an Expo After '92 'twas a wrap And even though he said it'd be a shame Instead of that "N-Y" They put Montreal on his cap On that Hall of fame plaque that bears his name In a town known as Cooperstown, he's honored A catching star for the middle of the order And the way he played in his prime Made him a legend in his time North and South of Canada's border

Don’t believe in Dinosaurs, I committed a crime No real fossils for us to find, Just things made up in, their mind I’m telling you it’s a con-spir-ra-cy Broke up a no-hitter, it was really sweet, Yankmee fans, suffered edit- before i confuse anyone, Carl Everett has been accused at various times of beating his wife, beating his kids, not believing in dinosaurs (and claiming man made fossils to lie about them), believing Apollo 11 never happened, and claiming he'd retire before he'd play with a gay teammate.

My coolness is taking a beating here, but I can't even find a sound clip of that AFI song. They're, like, a contemporary alternative band are they? (ducks)

Youtube is your friend.

Thanks! They really maxed out that $50 video budget.

Nymr83 Jan 08 2007 12:23 PM

thank for finding the video clip, i'm 99% sure that although that is the song it is not their video, so try not to hold it against them lol

Willets Point Jan 08 2007 12:44 PM

That's some fanboi's cheapass video. Just open a new browser window to cover it up while you listen to the song.
