Off Day Entertainment

On this dreary off day with no impending Bucco loss coming tonight, I thought I'd share with you a brilliant proposal for team song that found it's way to my inbox today, courtesy of reader Nate from South Park. Nate has re-worked the lyrics of Beck's "Loser" to fit the plight of a Pirates fan. Nate's lyrics follow and just for fun, I dug up Beck's original video on YouTube and posted it in below the new lyrics.

In the time of McClatchy and the McNuttings
Littlefield, Tracy, and the rest of their buddies
Rakin' in pennies but not winnin' any games
Makes the City of Champions just go insane
With a cellar dweller payroll, they're rakin' in the profits
Laughin' at the fans, while they're pickin' their pockets
The team's in trouble with a capital "T"
But with the All-Star Game it don't matter you see
Cause in rolls the dough, so the fat cats will smile
Enjoyin' the season while they count their money pile
And don't believe the owners with their media blitz
There weren't other teams wantin' Randa or Burnitz
So until there's an owner who cares about a ring
Join the Pittsburgh Pirate and together with him sing

Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(double-barrel buckshot)
Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?

Please, forces of evil, leave in the night
Sell to Mark Cuban and make things right
Cause Mark's got the money and he's got the brains
Things will be much better with him at the reins
He'll spend enough money to field a winning team
Something we've not seen since the scoring of Sid Bream
The Mighty Pittsburgh Pirates once again will set sail
And in the NL Central, the Buccos will prevail
So sorry Houston, Chicago and St. Louie
You too, Cincinnati and Brewers in Milwaukee
Your party is over, and we're gonna win the ring
The Pittsburgh Pirate will no longer have to sing

Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the Cheez-Whiz)
Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?

(Drive by body-pierce)

Yo bring on down
(I'm a driver, I'm a winner, things are gonna change, I can feel it...)

Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(I can't believe you!)
Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(Sprechen Sie Deutsch, baby)

Soy un perderdor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(Know what I'm saying?)
