Now it's time to tank But Morey say no He did that time And spent that bread Now he treads on He's almost there The 8th spot looks good But Morey scared He can't trade Kmart Or Luis Because his computer say Tanking is infamy To do the bare minimum A noble loser Is better for me But in come Ronny Talkin bout reality Aint no one replacing me At gangsta university Yo, pointdexter, listen up All of the lights Cash light Strobe light Disco light Flash light Stop light It's time to tank next year This is a sign Close but no cigar Or resign A top 5 pick Makes the world go round That's an asset right there Cuz in this league We don't fight pound for pound PUH PUH PUH PUH PUH PUH PUH Post your own

Back in November I made this variation of the song when the started out 0-5 to "Airplanes", when we really could use a win right then. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kn6-c223DUU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xVLFdzBX-fc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Can we pretend that the Rockets, on our team, had a superstar We could really use a win right now (win right now, win right now) Can we pretend that the Rockets, on our team had a superstar We could really use a win right now (win right now, win right now) Yeah we added Miller, PattPatt Lee & Ish I thought this season we’d be better than this Cause after all the draftin’ and tradin' and signin' I thought for sure the red would be risin’ And all the losses and all the bad habits There comes a time where you wonder what happened? And when you're staring at that schedule in your lap And you hoping but the Rockets can make a comeback But this is how the game unfolds Choking in the 4th is getting kinda old And when your team unravels And they sayin' who would you trade for If you had one chance So Rockets, Rockets do not tank Hurry now before it gets too late Rockets don’t go out without a fight I’ll still cheer for them every night Can we pretend that Rockets, on our team, had a superstar We could really use a win right now (win right now, win right now) Can we pretend that Rockets, on our team had a superstar We could really use a win right now (win right now, win right now) Somebody take me back to the days To the 09 season, started in 08 Back when our defense was 5th rank Yeah back when nobody got in our way If we miss playoffs we’re just playin’ for the hell of it We got to get some wins to stay relevant I'm guessin that if we can get some wins or a trade Then maybe yo maybe we'll go back to the days Can’t always blame it on the refs each game No one would have guessed we’d start this way Unless Charles and Barkley were part of your name But we got believers, what's up Jeff Van Gundy So can I get a win to stop the critics And prove to them we’re better than this So here I stand and then again I say I'm hopin' we can get some wins or trades Can we pretend that Rockets, on our team, had a superstar We could really use a win right now (win right now, win right now Can we pretend that Rockets, on our team had a superstar We could really use a win right now (win right now, win right now)
What Rashmon is trying to say, in his own special way, is that this thread is over. The fat lady is singing. I've destroyed it.
Rocketsgirl, would you use those same lyrics today, seeing how the season went and what the future holds for naive optimism? Are you still opposed to tanking and landing a Deron/Carmelo type guy in the coming years? You think the Rockets can without a top 5 pick?
Cleverly disguised hangout thread disguised as the unemployment thread? Kidding! Will work on my song tonight!
I just listened to the song Rocketgirl posted... that's ripped straight from Barney. Negative points. Lol, remember... it must be in English.
what do you mean? I wanted it to sound as much like the original as possible. And yes, I would rewrite the song with the same message- anti-tank. I enjoy watching the Rockets play to win.
Of course there's always Chuck Hayes' (and half the Rockets nowadays) theme song: <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/v8BY86AO5Bs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I meant the original was like a song from Barney. You need to run deep in the streets when you rap. You need to slap people for fun. You need to play rough. You can't be scared of jail.
