Song: “Sympathy for the Elder” Subject: Julio Franco A Parody Of: [url=http://www.cancerrecords.com/Devil.mp3]“Sympathy for the Devil” by The Rolling Stones[/url] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a Met who's old and gray I've been around for twenty odd years Second oldest man to steal a base Now I'm in the winter of life Approaching retirement age Still I do pilates Eat raw eggs and watch my weight I beseech you Hope you guess my age But what’s puzzling you Is the merit of my game I stuck around with the Indians ‘Til the Rangers picked me up via trade Went and played for the President And we're still friends to this day I played Japan And with Mexicans And in Atlanta I'm beloved by fans I beseech you Hope you guess my age, oh yeah Ah, what’s puzzling you Is the merit of my game, oh yeah I watched with glee, this past year in Queens I just rode the pine, right next to Ledee Skip shouted out "Who will pinch hit for me?" I said, "Randolph, that would be me." Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of progressive age And I'm too old to sacrifice But I can still poke it the other way I beseech you Hope you guess my age, oh yeah But what’s puzzling you Is the merit of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby Ju-, Ju- Ju-, Ju- Ju-, Ju- Ju-, Ju- I beseech you Hope you guess my age, oh yeah But what’s confusing you Is just the merit of my game Just as Beltran needs his curtain call And Heilman throws the eighth Billy Wagner just calls me Moses Cause I knew him back in the day So if you meet me please speak loudly I don't hear so well anyways Remember to respect your elders Or I'll play in 2008, um yeah I beseech you Hope you guess my age, um yeah But what’s puzzling you Is the merit of my game, um mean it, get down Ju-, Ju- Oh yeah, get on down Oh yeah Oh yeah Tell me baby, what’s my age Tell me honey, can ya guess my age Tell me baby, what’s my age I tell you one time, it's 48 Ju-, Ju- Ju-, Ju- Ju-, Ju- Ju-, Ju- Ju-, Ju- Ju-, Ju- Ju-, Ju- Oh, yeah What's my age Tell me, baby, what's my age Tell me, sweetie, what's my age Ju-, Ju-, Ju-

He lost only two in Memphis, got a callup to the Royals, From the… Tides down to N’awlins, he was slinging ‘em true Well, it’s Omaha for one year, ‘fore Milwaukee and the Metsies Tell me where in the world is Josias Manzanillo? He went from Norfolk, to Flushing, was down in New Britain, in Memphis, Tacoma, New Orleans, and then… Threw some gems up with the M’s… he was traded for Wayne Housie Joined Kris Benson on a one-hit, but he walked out on the Bats, Was a turkey in ‘Buquerque, spent a year ‘tween Pitt and Nashville, Tell me where in the world is Josias Manzanillo? Oh tell me where in the world is… Oh tell me where can he be? A Crawdad, a Redbird, then on to Cin-CINN-a-ti, Pirates, and Lou’ville, the Marlins, and then… (skat) Jo-si-a-s… Jo-si-a-s… Oooooh… the teams… Oooooh… the teams… Any place you need him… Any place you need him… (skat) Hit in the ‘nads by line drives! He tried out one more time, in Spring oh-five with the Red Sox He’s only got one nutsack, been around since ‘83 He wasn’t gonna make it, so he spent a year in Pueblo Tell me where in the world is Josias Manzanillo?

Another classic matchup!

This is a good matchup and needs more votes.

I like how we both took really old guys and went in very different directions with them. Nice job, Monk.

TransMonk Jan 30 2007 11:15 AM

I agree...a tip of the cap to you as well seawolf.

Compare Sympathy for the Elder with Sympathy for the Trax: [url]http://cybermessageboard.ehost.com/getalife/viewtopic.php?p=21764&sid=32616cbc53e83a38cbb67033357c8950[/url] In both songs, the singers threaten to play more. Good job men.

TransMonk wins with unusually low voter turnout.

I went wolf. Tough choice.

I thank the other six voters for their support; I really thought I'd put together a winning song -- I even used the word "nutsack"! -- but alas, it just wasn't meant to be. I got outparodied out there today, and you have to give the Monk credit. I'll go back this offseason and look at my songwriting style, play with my meter and my rhymes, and I'll come right back in '08 ready to go. Good luck, sharpie -- you're running into a juggernaut here. In the meantime, nobody in the losers' lounge better get between me and the pigs in a blanket.

I guess they call low scoring matches defensive battles...either way wolf, I thought I was meat when I saw your parody. You did a great job.
