BOD - The Day The Music Died

OK, I just wanted to hear American Pie, which I like a lot.  Especially with a dude with a guitar and a bunch of some slightly inebriated folks singing along off key (which reminds me of last night).  Just substitute "Bye, Bye Miss American Pie" with "Mister Irish Pie"

Maybe that doesn't work so well..............

Turn the volume up and sing.......................

I prefer What if BOD were one of us?

Isn't that a bit funereal and slow?  
We need to get our game faces on.  And rev up.  Emotions up.  Smiles up.

Today is a great day for up.....

BOD is a DJ (but not a JD).

That perky enough for you?

How about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f06QZCVUHg - the Summer of '89 to focus on past success?

I'd go Bay City Rollers (Just to get the Scots on the board) with

Bye Bye Baby !!!!!!!!

Shouldve known too that I can't linger
Gats has gone and given me the finger
He's got me
But now I'm free so
Bye Bye Baby!

Oh my bod I can't believe it - Kaiser chiefs

Now you got it.

Does this sum things up for the Lions???????

Uncanny metaphor. Bruce and the E-Street Boys (Wallabies), Mr Handclapper (Lions)

Not the linguistic artistry I was searching for. All I wanted was a good rocker to say let's go out and kick some ass. Very Churchillian, actually - no retreat, no surrender (Never Surrender).

Jeez, what do you want?

Like that,

What is Brian was one of us,
Just a couchie like one of us
Making his way to the fridge.

Damn, it's getting late into the eve of the cathartic fight of good versus evil.
Lions versus Wallabies
Mammals versus marsupials
Evolution versus devolution
BOD versus Gatland

What will happen to all this witty repartee? What will I do for phun? Talk to my family? You on crack?

One more song for His Royal Highness BOD: Fill Me up BOD.........

I think this is more appropriate.

Even the artist is relevant!

 




Awumaway awumaway awumaway.....

Johny Cash - Big Bad John

Bri-an
Bri-an

Every mornning at the training pitch, you could see him arrive.
He stood 5 foot 4, weighed 195.
Kind of broad at the shoulders, narrow at the hip.
And everybody knew you didn't give no lip to Bri-an.

Bri-an
Bri-an
O Driscoll
Drico

Nobody seemed to know where he called home
He just drifted into town and stayed all alone.
He didn't say much, kind of quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you'd just said hi to Drico.
Somebody said he came from Ballymagrew
Where he got into a fight over a Cheviot ewe
And a crash and a blow from a moderately sized right hand,
sent a County Clare fella to the promise land.

Bri-an
Bri-an
O Driscoll
Drico

Then came the day in the Lions Press meeting
when the Welsh coach cracked and men started tweeting.
The Irish were praying, and hearts beat fast
and everybody thought they had seen the last
of Drico.
Through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell,
walked a quite small man that the journos knew well.
Grabbed his old kit bag and gave out with a groan,
and like a blackthorn tree he just stood there alone, Drico.

Bri-an
Bri-an
O Driscoll
Drico

And with all of his dignity, he raised his head
Then a hack yelled out, 'Lions rugby is dead!'.
And 100 men scrambled from the hotel suite
now there's only Warren Gatland to deal with the shoite, Bri-an
With iPhones and iPads they started to blog
then came that rumble way back from the bog.
And as smoke and gas smelched all over Facebook,
everybody knew it was the end of the line, for Drico.

Bri-an
Bri-an
O Driscoll
Drico

The Lions never again toured to that wortheless pit,
they just decided the hassle wasn't worth it,
Thousands of words were written, it seemed never to end
But one word kept recurring, Drico, "Ligind"

Bri-an
Bri-an
O Driscoll
Drico
Drico
Drico...

 Maybe we could have a film or something about his life - we could call it "The Life of Brian" or something similar

 That's great Glas

The best Bond parody sing ever.

Great stuff Glas.  Muchly more creative than I.  
And, though I have never done it before, I will give one of Ruby's thumbs:
But the only sing I can think of now is the Lion Sleeps Tonight. Thanks MrsP!

Brian sitting along in his hotel room humming a plaintive song as his friends (and others) enjoy a night below in the lobby on the eve of the big one

The Irish mafia arrive on the 400 A380s.  They swarm the hotel and a few go up to Brian's room to tell him to quit whailing!  "You've always been too nice, Drico!!! - We're taking it from here!!!"

Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la
Sha la la la la

It's not the way you smile that touched my heart (sha la la la la)
It's not the way you kick that tears me apart

Uh-oh
Many, many, many nights go by
I sit alone at home and I cry over you
What can I do?
I can't help myself, 'cause Drico it's you
Drico, it's you

You should hear what they say about you: cheat, cheat
They say, they say you never never never ever been true (cheat, cheat)

Uh-oh
It doesn't matter what they say
I know I'm gonna love you any old way
What can I do? And it's true
Don't want nobody, nobody, 'cause Drico it's you
Drico it's you

Uh-oh
It doesn't matter what they say
I know I'm gonna love you any old way
What can I do, when it's true?
Don't want nobody, nobody, 'cause Drico it's you
Drico it's you
Don't leave me all alone
Come on home...

You're dropped

Love that song RDS...the real one!.  I'm a gonna go listen to it now on YouTube

Music will always win out... no matter what... peace all.... and LIONS.. play that music


With Bread of Heaven, Together standing tall
Swing Low, Flowers of Scotland
We're in it together, One and All

BlackBird (lyrics changed - with utmost respect to Paul McCartney and Brian O'Driscoll)

BlackBOD singing in the dead of night
Take these weary limbs and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this 3rd Test to arise

BlackBOD singing in the dead of night
Gatland take your sunken blind eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be silly by not picking me

BlackBOD fly, blackBOD fly
Into the light of the dark black night
BlackBOD fly, blackBOD fly
Into the light of the dark black night

BlackBOD singing in the dead of night
I'll take my weary limbs and learn to fly
All my life
I was only waiting for this moment to arise
I was only waiting for this moment to arise
Brian a hero, you were only waiting for this moment to arise

 nice one fly half!
