Another Griffey Song

by _David_ on May 20, 2010 1:13 PM PDT

With appologies to Attractive Nuisance, and of course to Bruce Springsteen...

Hey Ken Griffey where’s your bat speed gone?

Did it go away, leaving you flailing on?

This is getting dire

Please retire

Tell me now Griffey of your legacy

Do you want it to include destroying this team

This is getting dire

Please retire

Sometimes it’s like someone took your bat Griffey

Filled it with lead, and cut a six inch valley

Through the middle of its head

Each time you take a swing have you noticed that

With a fastball running through the

Middle of your bat

It’s time, this is getting dire

Please retire

I don't know but I know if there's going to be a rash of these things posted I'm going to get stabby really fast

No offense David, but I know how fast these things take off and I hope this doesn’t spawn a whole slew of Señor Spielbergos trying to be AN’s cut price Mexican equivalent.

But I worked so hard on my Mariners themed version of "Tequila" by the Champs.

It’s okay though, this sneak peak will get you so hot you’ll be begging to read the rest.

I didn't intend to provoke murderous thoughts

It’s just a song parody. I understand the sentiment, but let there be room for two of them, please?

The problems are they spawn like bunnies and they get really personal really fast

Somebody posts one, somebody else posts one, then somebody different posts “this one’s not as good as that one why did you bother you suck” and then it goes downhill from there.

I have no desire nor intention to murder you, by the way.

For what it's worth,

my view is that nobody forces anyone else to read a Fanpost. Posting anything at all can be nerve-wracking, and sometimes you have to go through a few bloopers to get to a webgem. You’re not hurting anything by sharing your effort.

I doubt we’re going to see a flood of song parodies. Song parodies are dumb.
