Poetic Ode to Monkeyball

by rubin sierra on Sep 28, 2006 2:59 AM PDT

I didn't realize the song I was covering (Wonderwall, Oasis--here's 30 seconds worth of the sound, so you can get it stuck in your head like it was in '98) was so short; but then, I'm glad it is, because I've got to go to sleep. Feel free to add more verses.

Kotsay is gonna be the A
That is gonna bat number two,
And now, saint's havin' a cow
Saying Macha you don't have a clue
I don't believe that Stomper isn't
really FSU. <tears oblique> ooooowwww

Drumbeat, in the bleachers high street
Close enough to hear M-Bradley shout.
Swish-er went to visit Jennifer
He's in the basement and he can't get out.
Blez doesn't believe we're gonna need
A transcription of that interview ... <tears oblique> ooooowwwww

And all the monkeys' blindfolds--well, they're blinding
And still they type out insights and they're rhyming
There are many posts that I
Would like to reply to
But I don't know how

Bobby Crosbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Not funnier than Bill Cosbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
But snerk-iest of allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Is our monkeyballllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Full lyrics of wonderwall here. As you can see, the above verses simply repeat in various orders; although like I suggested before, perhaps some more verses are called for. Just not tonight.

Edits/disclaimer

Just now was fiddling with the text some more, edited the title and the main course.

I really meant to do something longer incorporating a lot more AN references ... but jesus--rhyming is a pain in the ass!

dude

I also meant to write more verses extolling your virtues, but again--your new sig.

Dude, we need someone with at least half your rhyming skillz to do the ode on your behalf. I'm not worthy--thus the "sort of" in the original title.

Start by rhyming capuchin with Rasputin

The rest just writes itself.

Vodka Swishernova

Place in blender 1 lump bituminous coal, 1 cupcake, 2 oz honey, 2 tablespoons of raw hayseeds, and $2500 worth of vodka. Puree.

I'm glad Blanton plays a bit part in the Vodka Swishernova recipe...I'll make sure to have this concoction prepared for the holidays.

the first verse actually has potential

first line is "how many special people change"...changing teams obviously; fourth line is "slowly walking down the hall"...we're all about the walks...and of course the champagne supernova could be taking place in the A's clubhouse after a World Series win...but I'm not up to the task.

I can't ever think of that band

without thinking of Will Ferrell.

did I miss an SNL skit?

well, I've pretty much missed them all since Chris Farley died, but...what's the connection? I also haven't seen any of his movies except the latest one, which I didn't think was that great

British Parliament skit

wherein Ferrell hijacks the discussion in favor of his man-love for Oasis--THEY'RE THE BEST BAND EVER! Thought I could find it on YouTube, but I can't.

he might have been poking fun at Noel Gallagher

who wasn't satisfied with just trying to make music that sounded like the Beatles', he also had to make a Lennon-esque statement about Oasis being more popular than God or something (I think he was a bit more ambitious than Lennon, who just settled for Jesus.)

this was one of the funniest things EVER

on AN. I'll probably be stoned for saying this but I hate Oasis. HATE!! My ex-girlfriend loved these guys and I used to be required to listen to them every once in a while.

I just realized that I actually LIKED that one song. Very creative man!

you are not alone

I wouldn't say I hate 'em, but I did all I could to ignore 'em.

Honestly, prior to reading this diary, I had no idea that either "Wonderwall" or "Champagne Supernova" (both of which I heard in probably 1 million 20-second snippets during that time when they were omnipresent) was by Oasis.
