Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 2062773, member: 548"] Okay, guys, you know how much I love "Hamilton." So, I wrote this to the first song in the musical. (Apologies: the second stanza doesn't match the rhythm of the original at all, and I had to truncate the song or else it would be too long, but oh hell. Here it is.) THANK YOU, COACH! [MEDIA=youtube]yIl1OIGzuDg[/MEDIA] How does a misfit, snakebit, team unawake from their Slumber, deep under, instead of run they lumber, get plundered By enemies that always know their number [B]Wake up[/B] - to bring the lightning and the thunder? A two-bit gang without a name to bang Instead of going swish, their baskets going clang Reformed, transformed from a team that's badly choking To frazzle and bedazzle with ballers hot and smoking! And every game the fans be shrieking and be yelling Shouting to the rooftops, "This team, it just ain't gelling!" The coach experimenting with every kind of line up Free flowing, and knowing that soon his time would be up. Then the Hurricanes came, certain devastation reigned Our coach saw his future drip, dripping down the drain He never shirked the work, a light exploded in his brain He found five players he knew could bring the pain! Well, the word got around, they said, "This team is insane, man, They were dead men walking, now they're known as Boeheim's Bane, man!" Play that vaunted defense, don't forget from whence you came, and The world's gonna know your game. "What's your game, man?" Boeheim's Big Time Basketball. He's won a THOUSAND games of basketball! NC double A, it ain't your call. Just you wait, just you wait! Boeheim's Big Time Basketball The team is waiting in the wings for you You could never back down You never learned to take a - - jab! Oh, Boeheim's Big Time Basketball When America rags on you Will they know what you overcame? Will they know you rewrote the game? The zone will never be the same, oh The team is in the locker room See if you can spot him! Haranguing and declaiming, "We shall come up from the bottom!" This season might destroy his rep The fans nearly forgot him (The team): "We fought for him." (Gerry): "I bled for him." (Hopkins): "I've trusted him." (Juli): "I love him." (NCAA): "We're the fools that tried to stop him!" (stop him stop him stop him . . .) There's a THOUSAND games that he's just won And he's not done! What's your game, man? Boeheim's Big Time Basketball! [/QUOTE]
