Description
I took an overused chord progression and an overused melody and made a baby.
I was watching the Diamondbacks beat up on the Marlins tonight. It's was 80's night and they showed the Buckner play from the 1986 World Series. Those not from the US or those who don't care much for baseball may need an explanation. Bill Buckner was a very, very good baseball player who misplayed a routine play and became famous for screwing up (though the lead was already blown at this point). Buckner's bad knees are probably want kept him from properly making the play. But anyway, the guy that hit the ball to Buckner that night did an interview not long after and that's what was shown tonight on 80's night. That player, Mookie Wilson, was commenting and making it sound like he had done something fantastic. He said something about just trying to make contact and get a good ball in play. Um, no. You hit a text-book rally killing ball that by a thousand to one odds was fielding wrong. You lucked out. Don't confuse the two, Mookie.
Mookie. What a dumb name
I just started singing this after I saw the interview. After the game I went in to the music room and put it down. I sang the wrong words in the first verse, They're written below as they should have been. That's why it's different.

Mookie Wilson you don't deserve to be a hero
If I was Bill Buckner I'd remind you
That my knees are the reason the ball went through
It's true
Mookie Wilson stop acting like you meant it.
Bill Buckner on any other day
Or any other player could've made that play
It's true.
Just because you think you are a hero
Doesn't mean you really are a hero
No it doesn't mean a thing
If I was Bill Buckner I'd remind you
That my knees are the reason the ball went through
It's true
Mookie Wilson stop acting like you meant it.
Bill Buckner on any other day
Or any other player could've made that play
It's true.
Just because you think you are a hero
Doesn't mean you really are a hero
No it doesn't mean a thing
Feter
