"...or how I learned to stop playing it safe and love the flame" Okay...let me just preface this with a disclaimer. This song is VERY cruel to Steve and his basketball game. But I want to be clear...I LOVE Francis and I have no problems (for the most part) with the way he plays the game (playing PG or SG). So please don't flame me for writing a song that is not flattering towards him. It started out with me hearing the song "Give it Away" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the radio the other day. It occurred to me that "Give it Away" was a perfect song to adapt to Francis's turnover problems. Well, it kind of grew from there. I had hopes that maybe Chance or someone who actually has musical talent might actually record this song...but I know that it is way too negative for anyone to take the time. It appears I am unable to write a humorous spoof song that is not negative and cruel. Oh well...more's the pity. So, having said that, enjoy my crappy Chili Peppers cover based on Steve Francis... Give it Away, Steve What I gots I give it back to the defender Don't pass to teammates cause they won't Return to Sender I make Rudy go on a season long bender After Moochie's done with me my ass is really tender What I gots a lot of turnovers I accrue What I gots a lot of money and some tattoos What I gots a TO record that I pursue Don't need to play smart when I jump like a kangaroo I realize that I don't want to be a point guard Passing first and shooting second is just too hard From my play people assume I am a r****d Yao Ming may be tall but I don't really need a co-star Give it away, give it away, give it away now Give it away, give it away, give it away now Give it away, give it away, give it away now I cough it up to Steve Kerr, the Defensive Stopper I refuse to play in Rudy's offensive system Call me Wink cause I won't see you when you're open My brain's devoid of any basketball wisdom My metaphor machine helps Blinebury write his new column From my headaches everyone thinks I am moody Hey, at least I'm not quite as bad as Judge Judy Half the fans on this board just want to boo me I'll never leave cause I got naked pics of Rudy What I gots I give it back to the defender Don't pass to teammates cause they won't Return to Sender I make Rudy go on a season long bender After Moochie's done with me my ass is really tender Give it away, give it away, give it away now Give it away, give it away, give it away now Give it away, give it away, give it away now Menier's disease won't let me eat a Whopper Uhh... thoughts?
Raven, It just doesnt do anything for me because all I can visualize is Flea jumping around in his underwear now. Hehe Actually good job. Between Chance, MacBeth and yourself, we have quite the trio of artists around here.
A typically surrealist Raven Lunatic rant on intoxicant-fueled illusions, which was the perfect rendition to the vivid characteristics of "Franchise" game. It retained all of its quirky, Red Hot Chili Peppers-esque flow and spine-tingling harmonies. A sure hit!
that's freaking 100% pure hilarity. How many adjectives can I....give away, give away, give away to the Raven. We all know what he is sayin' All that pent up Stevie Franchise dissin' Just spare us the New Yorker cursin' Give it away, give it away, give it away back to sender You know you all what to join Raven on a Rudy Bender GIVE IT UP!!!!!! Ra-ven....Ra-ven....Ra-ven!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys for the kind words. I am glad there are plenty of people on this BBS that can laugh at a song like this and not go off on a rant about its inaccuracies.
