Hey Soup, I've gotta post early because I don't know if I'll have time at work. Reaching back to 1983 for this one: Come On, Get Keith (Come on, get Keith) Poor old Frank Cashen Seaver came on back, but they started slow And the only rising bat is Darryl Bamberger cried Sayonara! Who could blame him? Kong's grown (Kong's grown) So frail (so frail) What can we get for Neil Allen? (How About Keith?) Nineteen-eighty, Nineteen-eighty-three We can win just like the others Come on, get Keith I'm aware (what he means) At this moment - legitimacy Him on the Mets Would lead to success He's under thirty Oh, come on, get Keith (Come on, get Keith) These drunk fans round here Wear beaten down eyes sunk In beer soaked faces So resigned to what their place is We're in last (are we ever) Not so fast (whatever) What if we were bold and clever? (Remember) Nineteen-eighty, Nineteen-eighty-three When we win it all in three years Come on, get Keith! Facial hair (is so neat) Aah, come on let's Throw in Owensby He'd fix this mess Oh, Frank tell them yes Aah, come on let's... Aah, Come on, get Keith, please... Now we've got Keith in Eighty-three Now we've got Keith in Eighty-three Now we have grown Now we have shown Oh, We got Keith Say, now we've got Keith These things they are real and I know How to feel Now I must say more than ever Things round here have changed I say, Nineteen-eighty, Nineteen-eighty-three! Now We've Got Keith I'm aware (what he means) At this moment - legitimacy Him on the Mets will lead to success He's under thirty Oh, Now we've got Keith Oh, Now we've got Keith Facial hair (is so neat) At this moment, he means everything Him on the Mets will lead to success I feel dirty Now We've Got Keith Now We've Got Keith...

Daryl was a rookie When we saw him then, young and strong The Black Ted, they said he was And he would be, before too long Hit those long, high homeruns Used to feel like every night Became a perennial All-Star For the NL out in right Don't you know? Yeah......yeah..... Don’t you know this was just the starting point Don't you know O-ros-co Soon this team would no longer disappoint The City will one day look back and see It began in eighty three. Mex had a coke issue And Whitey wanted no part Allen and Ownbey to Saint Loo Keith got a fresh new start Not happy comin’ to the Mets But put to rest all his fears Once Keith looked around him he said, "We’ll win the Series in three years" Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know that this team will reach the stars O-quend-o Don't you know that we’ll be lighting cigars And whoever wins that Series MVP will get a fancy car Don’t you know Frank will fill this team with stars Foster will go And everybody in New York will see That the Mets resurgence began in nineteen eighty three. Howard told Cashen, "Frank, I'm your man This team we got here, I’ll lead to the promised land" Cash gave him just that year, with a wink, said ‘hey son’ If you think it’s a good team now, next year comes Gooden Don't you know that this team was not so far Not far away Don't you know that they would be great someday Dont you dont you dont you dont you dont you know Don't you know that we’ll all look back and see Don't you, don't you know it began in eighty three……

For whom should I vote?

Nice too see such an upbeat, optimistic take by both parodists.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 10 2008 10:42 AM

Yeah, that's a good question. I voted for Transmonk based mostly on his entry provoking a more visceral reaction. Plus, you know, I kinda liked that he choose a song whose too-la-ray-ays would scare off most parody writers and kill off most who tried.

Valadius Mar 10 2008 10:57 AM

This is gonna be a close one.

My vote has been cast.

I concede the contest and offer my hearty congratulations to the 2008 Cranepool Parody Contest Champion - Transmonk. Your song was amazing. You chose a great tune and did a wonderful job with it. Thanks to everybody who voted for me, I had fun.
