    Wow. I thought the Beltran Idiot song would be my favorite for quite a while, but this topped it. Considering it's a local "indie" band (would that be the proper term for you guys Chance?) it sounds finished, polished, and altogether too good for today's FM radio.

    The Good Guys 2005
    By Apollo XVIII
    Chance McClain and Frank Bullington



    We told you, "When you signed them we would come in massive droves
    40,000 Psycho Astros fans for every game at home
    We have stormed the gates of Minute Maid. You can't believe the sound
    You have heard it resonating from downtown

    I can't believe (The Rocket)
    The Rocket's come back home
    To win a ring (And Pettitte)
    That seemed unreachable
    He's on our team (We got 'em)
    And back where he belongs
    The Houston Astros got it goin' on.

    We stopped the Tomahawk Chop, shocked the world by coming back
    Scrap-iron silenced second guessers with aggression and moustache
    In the eighteenth it was locked up Thanks to Ausmus and Berkman
    And All we needed was a series ending home run!

    I can't believe (The Rocket)
    A rookie Killer Bee
    Fulfilled a dream (And Pettitte)
    5 million people screamed
    In the eighteenth (We got 'em)
    Burke beat the Braves at home
    The Houston Astros got it goin' on.

    I can't believe (The Rocket)
    The Rockets come back home
    To win a ring (And Pettitte)
    That seemed unreachable
    He's on our team (We got 'em)
    And back where he belongs
    The Houston Astros got it goin' on.

    Same Story. Better ending (1, 2, 3 GET OUT!)

    I can't believe (The Rocket)
    The Rockets come back home
    To win a ring (And Pettitte)
    That seemed unreachable
    He's on our team (We got 'em)
    And back where he belongs
    The Houston Astros got it goin' on.

    I can't believe (The Rocket)
    That another Killer B
    Is on this Team (And Pettitte)
    Burke the Rookie Bee
    It's destiny (We got 'em)
    Backe and Oswalt goin' strong
    The Houston Astros got it goin on

    Chance,
    Are you going to try to play at the BUS during the Series? The Stros song rocks, maybe you can get it played at MMP during the series. This is definately up there as one of your best, my fav is still the Yao Ming song, I still sing that during Rocket games. Keep it Up!

    That's pretty damn nice... and I don't really like rap. Kinda funny rapping about a bunch of white guys though :)

    Well, Paul Wall IS white, so it's pretty extraordinary all around. And man, I'm not going to pretend I didn't get up and dance a little... ok, I danced through the whole track.

    You're going to have to come correct to top that, Chance...!

    The rapper that sings that song is NOT paul wall (who's white).. its CHAMILLIONAIRE
    they used to be in a group together a few years back but split up when paul wall went with swishahouse and chamillionaire decided to go solo
