1984--a new song

[nodak89]

If there's anything worse than a blind optimist, it's a blind optimist with a guitar (and too much time on his hands ...)

It seemed that after ORU we could use a little extra sunshine to break us out of our Seasonal Afffective Disorder, so here goes. This spoof of Bowling for Soup's "1985" is also inspired by the biweekly "Where are they now?" threads.

Procrastinate and stall
With Georgetown basketball
Reading posts all day
Bad for you GPA

‘Cause of this HoyaTalk Board
Graduate by 24
Woulda been a lawyer man
Now I need a backup plan

Like those long lost Hoyas
He was gonna be a star
Gonna play in the NBA
Maybe just transfer away

But that stuff’s history
Now we got JT3
Looks like we got new life
It soon will be all right…like with

(Chorus)
Mutombo, Alonzo,
Way before the Answer
There was Ewing and Sleepy
And Hoya games still on TV
The Princeton and Old School
Combine them both and we’re cool
We will be back for more 19, 19, 1984

Kenny Brunner samurai sword
Don’t hear from him no more
And what about Boubacar Aw?
Hey man, where are you now?

Where’s Brenden been?
Is he in NASCAR again?
Burton, Braswell, too.
Joseph Touomou

Is Scruggs playing abroad in Milan?
Does anybody know what team he’s playin’ on?
Big Ben and Sarge and Smitty
Mike Sweetney, Jahidi-hidi-hidi-ho!

(Chorus)
Mutombo, Alonzo,
Way before the Answer
There was Ewing and Sleepy
And Hoya games still on TV
The Princeton and Old School
Combine them both and we’re cool
We will be back for more 19, 19, 1984

Big John hugged Freddy Brown
III will remind them that “We Are Georgetown!”<br>David Wingate and Reggie Williams
Remember chanting “Hoya, Hoya, Hoya Saxa!” for

(Chorus)
Mutombo, Alonzo,
Way before the Answer
There was Ewing and Sleepy
And Hoya games still on TV
The Princeton and Old School
Combine them both and we’re cool
We will be back for more 19, 19, 1984 with

Hibbert and Jeff Green
Wallace off a back screen.
There is Bowman, Ashanti
HoyaChat instead of TV
The Princeton and Old School
Combine them both and we’re cool
We will be back for more 19, 19, 1984

Nodak, let me proudly be first to shout out how wonderful an effort that was!!! Top notch! Top notch!!

[SFOHoya]

Someone sign this guy to a record deal already

Awesome

[HOYAPLAYA]

This has got to be up for POY!! Is anyone keeping track of the best posts?

[hoyarooter]

I don't know this song (I'm way too old and stoggy), but regardless, this is truly classic. Nodak's da man! (of course, what else is there to do in North Dakota in December, when the wind chill hits -50?)

[Cambridge]

Incredible

[CAHoya07]

Amazing. Unbelievable. Inspirational. Words really fail me.

I knew I'd like this song better than 1985, because I was born in 1984 . But, man, keep belting out the hits. Eventually, I hope you can get a full band behind you and really belt out some rockin' Hoya tunes. I just got an acoustic guitar for Christmas and am gonna learn, so maybe eventually I can join you, haha. As long as you keep writing those hits, maybe you can record a CD of all Hoya songs and sell them to fans. Imagine what that could do for school spirit!

Anyway, I'm getting carried away. Nicely done, Nodak. Nicely done.

[tgo]

awesome!

[nodak89]

Thanks to all.

I think I'll wait for tournament time for another song.

I'm hoping for the Village People 's "It's fun to play in the N-C-A-A! "

But I would settle for the Beatles "Let it Be" remade as
"NIT NIT NIT NIT
It's not quite the Big Dance
NIT"

[jackdog74]

I like the optimism. So how do we do an "N"?

[TBird41]

Wow nodak...wow.

I don't really have anything else to say, except that is an impressed wow.

CA,

Dibs on Simon. You can be Garfunkel!

[hoyarooter]

Hello Hoyas, my old team
It's good to see you on the beam
Because under the former regime
The pickings became unbearably lean
But with III
We'll get back where we used to be
And hear the sound of cheering

[MEGAFAN]

It's great to see the enthusiasm (and talent) displayed by nodak89. I have already listened to this song countless times on repeat as I surf the Hoya talk board in anticipation of our next game. Although I still love the "Roy... Roy Roy Roy..." song, I must say that the acoustic style displayed lends itself to "1984" a little better. Keep up the good work, and it's encouraging to see that I am not the only one who has lost my sanity when it comes to my dedication to Hoya Hoops.

LET'S GO HOYAS!!! KILL NORFOLK STATE!

Is this....?.....Could it be?.......
I feel hazy....The swirling lights....The, the colors.....
It is!...I've finally found it!....
MEGAFANLAND!!!


Toto, we're not in North Dakota anymore.

[nodak89]

I think it was Jersey in the chatroom last night who was asking about an album name.....

How about using my signature line?

"What's a Hoya?"



(poor timing to bump an optimistic thread, eh?)

[SFHoya99]

It was me and "What's a Hoya?" is now in the iTunes.

[Nevada Hoya]

Nodak, good choice for Garfunkel. CAHoya already has the frizzy hair, albeit blue. Will you be appearing at the Grammies? Keep up the great work!

[tgo]

i thought this deserved a bump, after seeing the highlights of the pitt game on SC before work this morning i had a craving to hear this song.

[GUHoya07]

haha, great stuff! I just found this gem now
