I beg [url=http://www.risa.co.uk/sla/song.php?songid=15676]Ray Davies' [/url] forgiveness L-O-L-Itch I sore him throw a curve, one May night in Shea, The kind that should be strike three but turns out to be A pet gopher, G-O-F-A, Gopher So some dude in the Mezz stands up and sez, “Who’s that loafer? L-O-F-A, Loafer, (lo-lo-lo-fat loafer)." I ‘splain to the dude with the attitude “His name’s Lolich, L-O-L-Itch, Lolich. Could you ease up a bit, he’s trying his best, Could you sit the fuck down and let the guy pitch?” Oh, my Lolich, L-O-L-Itch, Lolich. Well, a thousand fat zhlubs all around me stand up And boo Lolich, they scream “Lolich, Aw, go to hell, Lolich, you fat fucking Lolich!” [guitar break] I’m not dumb but I can’t understand Why they care that he’s fat if he throws like a man, Oh, my Lolich. L-O-L-Itch, Lolich. ‘‘Seaver, Matlack and Koos, they also lose When the Mets get shut out, but only Lolich gets boos. Oh, my Lolich.” I say, “Why pick on Lolich, Poor Mickey Lolich, Poor fat Mickey Lolich?” “Because the others are trim,” they sez, “not like him. When you call us fat, we can say, ‘Not like that!’ We’re not, we admit, the world’s skinniest guys But none of us look like we live on French fries and cream soda, S-O-D-A, soda. We’re bored and we’re drunk and we’re in a mean funk ‘cuz we ain’t won since the days of Swoboda, B-O-D-A , boda. We’re fat, but he’s fatter, and that’s why it matters, We’re poor and he’s rich, the fat son of a bitch And those are some of the reasons for which We boo Lolich, L-O-L-Itch, Lolich, Die in a ditch, Lolich!, Your mom’s a witch, Lolich, Boo, Mickey Lolich…” [fade vocals]

Gotta go with ira.

MFS62 Feb 13 2007 08:21 AM

Ira, Without knowing the song or the player, anyone who can incorporate the word "zhlubs" into a song deserves my vote. Later

MFS62 Feb 13 2007 10:15 AM

Oops. I didn't know for sure the player JD parodied. Of course I remember Lolich and his legendary girth. Later

Johnny Dickshot Feb 13 2007 10:16 AM

I'm not campaigning here, cuz I think your idea is better than mine and you used a better song -- I got it in my head that some cheezy "Yacht Rock" would be funny and nearly broke my back trying to jam a subject into such a song -- but I've tried several times and cannot sing your lyrics to the Lola version playing. I pick it up and lose it. Are you missing parts? Is the spacing right? I can't figure it.

seawolf17 Feb 13 2007 10:24 AM

I voted JD for that reason; I can't sing along. That's the hardest thing to do in this contest -- get the cadences right. If it doesn't sing along, it doesn't work. I busted by ass trying to get the Carmen Sandiego song to click, because I thought that was the key. JD's song is obviously Bruce Boisclair.

sharpie Feb 13 2007 10:35 AM

I voted for JD mostly for that reason too. Also more unusual and challenging song choice which gets major points from me. Both songs had good through-lines.

smg58 Feb 13 2007 11:07 AM

I also voted JD, but the Kinks video is priceless. I just barely remember both Lolich and Boisclair.

Edgy DC Feb 13 2007 12:20 PM

Pinch-hitting Boisclair for Falcone was more or less a downgrade.

ScarletKnight41 Feb 13 2007 01:08 PM

JD had a much greater sing-a-long factor than Ira, and that was the deciding factor for me.

Rockin' Doc Feb 13 2007 07:09 PM

An awful lot of repeat player/song pairings occurring this year. iramets pairing of Mickey Lolich with the Kinks' Lola is the third redux of a previously seen pairing. I believe it was in 2004 that A Boy Named Seo used a masterful Lola/lolich pairing to knock me out of the semifinals. Other previously seen pairings that have reappeared in this year's contest have been Choo Choo Coleman set to Chatanooga Choo Choo and Gary Carter to Billy Joel's Legend of Billy the Kid. I'm not sure what all this means. I guess certain songs and players just seem to go together.

Johnny Dickshot Feb 14 2007 08:08 AM

OK, I'm gonna declare a 14-7 victory here. Good game, Ira. Best I can tell (and cq me if I'm wrong) my eligible field for the finals is: Mazzilli Elster Lidle Koosman Landrith McGraw Shinjo Denehy Stinnett Aker McReynolds Snider Hojo Heilman Milledge Unser Crawford Hillman R. Hodges Tate

Edgy DC Feb 14 2007 08:10 AM

Can't go wrong.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 14 2007 08:14 AM

I used Mazzilli in last year's finals in a faceoff with Sharpie and Rusty Staub. Nothing significant about that. Just a "fun fact."

How long has this shrimp plate been out here on the table?

ScarletKnight41 Feb 15 2007 05:12 AM

We have to buy 'em fresh, because Yancy goes through them so quickly. He must have gained 15 pounds since his elimintation....
