Page : <1> :


I was listening to Marc Cohn's classic song "Walking in Memphis" and these new words popped in my head...
If you never heard the original song or don't remember the lyrics, go here to hear it and see the video:
Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn

Here is my version of the song that I call "Scoring on Memphis" with references to our recently departed friend B*D*SS and mention of others too.

Scoring in Memphis
by Paisano®

Put on my blue suede skin
And I boarded my tank
Touched down in the land of the medulla mesa
In the middle of a scrum game
I saw memphis — who was kicking some ass
Yeah I got a first class hunger
But it's gonna be hard to get some gum

When I’m Scoring on Memphis
Scoring with my tank ten feet in the air
Scoring on Memphis
Oh how good it feels when I steal!

Saw the ghost of B*D*SS
On Cranium Crater
Followed him up to the gates of Scrumbag
Then I watched him drive right through
Now regeant x and roo did not see him
They just hovered ‘round his tank
But there’s a awesome game of ts scrum
going on at the Requiem for B*D*SS
Down on the server hosted by roo

(Chorus)
When I’m Scoring on Memphis
Scoring with my tank ten feet in the air
Scoring on Memphis
Oh how good it feels when I steal!

They’ve got fishtank on the mountain
They’ve got lonewolf in the goal
And when things don't look good for your team
and you feel you don't have a prayer
boy you’ve got a prayer in Memphis

Now Sheena does her Leroy
Every night at Sheena's Place
And we all went down to see her
And we asked if we could —
play a little team scrum
And I played with all my might
And she said —
“Tell me are you a Christian child?”
And I said “Ma’am I am tonight”

(Chorus)
When I’m Scoring on Memphis
Scoring with my tank ten feet in the air
Scoring on Memphis
Oh how good it feels when I steal!

Put on my blue suede skin
And I boarded my tank
Touched down in the land of the medulla mesa
In the middle of a scrum game
I saw memphis — who was kicking some ass
Yeah I got a first class hunger
But it's gonna be hard to get some gum
Yeah I got a first class hunger
But it's gonna be hard to get some gum

Yeah, I had mixed emotions while writing it so it makes sense that there would be mixed reactions.
The intentions were good, I assure you. No dis-respect to anyone...and actually high praise for B*D*SS and Memphis.
