Song Parody: The 2004 Mariners

Believe it or not, this is my first time ever parodying American Pie.
And this is also my first song parody in a WHILE that has absolutely NOTHING to do with Puzzle Pirates.

I hope you enjoy it. Constructive criticism is welcomed since I'd almost like to send it to some Mariners fan sites if I could make it good enough.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2004 Seattle Mariners
(To the tune of "American Pie", by Don McLean)
(New words by Deanna Rubin)

A year or two ago, I can still remember how
The Mariners used to make me smile
And I knew I could go to see
Them win a game, or ninety-three
And thought this would continue for a while

But April this year made me vomit
With every game they'd surely bomb it
Four weeks straight of losing
The jeers were not amusing.

I can't remember what I thought
'Bout the season tickets I had bought
But my home team was quite distraught
The year Seattle fried.

So bye bye to a World Series try
Hit a double but the trouble was they caught the pop fly
And good ol' Boone was watching grounders go by,
Singing "It can't get much worse than July,"
"It can't get much worse than July,"

( LJ-cutting the song because it's awfully long. )

Oh, welcome to December!

What I did today, too. Well, I went to work, getting there earlier than usual but still later than most. I'm getting better, though. I did some work. I hung out for Looterati Tuesday. I made some incredibly bad jokes (Squid: "We're going to get back at those Evil Vikings!" Me: "Err, wouldn't that be 'Revenge of the Nords'?"). I stopped at Best Buy on the way home to get the new Eddie from Ohio album, but wouldn't you know it, they didn't have it (but they did have most of their other albums that I don't have, so I uh... I bought four of them). I picked up the Garden State soundtrack, which at $9.99 is undoubtedly one of the best CD deals anyone can get right now - I advise picking up a copy. Also got the third Harry Potter movie on DVD. I wonder if I'll get around to watching it again any time soon.

I stopped by Sunset to play DDR. I black-flagged Be In My Paradise. Fear me.

I remembered to do two other chores: grocery shopping, and scheduling my car to be checked up. Now I just need to remember to pay rent. I'm a total chore-whore lately. I didn't do much cleaning though -- I got caught up talking to C on Puzzle Pirates, and unfortunately we get carried away with conversations sometimes. On the other hand he taught me some stuff about combo timing in the sailing puzzle and now I am at all Ultimates again! (Not counting Spades. I refuse to play it. It's neither puzzley nor piratey.)

Oh, and in the meantime I've been working on this parody of American Pie the last two days, see, and I just posted it. Woo, go me. I should write more non-PP songs, honestly.

What the heck, how is it December already? This year went by so fast, and yet so slow.
