southsider2k5 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 He already has a song. Don't you remember School House Rock and "My Hero Zero"? You're old, you should remember it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbieRubarb Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I'll go with "My Hero, Zero!" from Schoolhouse Rock! My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero, But till you came along, We counted on our fingers and toes. Now you're here to stay And nobody really knows How wonderful you are. Why we could never reach a star, Without you, Zero, my hero, How wonderful you are. Et cetera, et cetera, ad infinitum, ad astra, forever and ever, With zero, my hero, how wonderful you are.

Texsox Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 At least ribbie took the time to quote the lyrics. 2k3 (pre SoxTalk award winner) would have taken the time, but this 2K4 edition has gotten lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction TRIPLE award winning 2k4. Get it straight. I was actually doing a search to post the lyrics, but by the time I got back, Ribbie had beat me to it.

RibbieRubarb Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 or the song "Mr Zero" by The Yardbirds Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains, And ten-cent red roses from department store counters, Watching the moonlight reflect off the river, Beside where the trains cross the bridge and slow down, Trains with white letters on black iron sides, And white rushing water that all rolls away, And Little Miss Someone does not want to stay. Everyone's moving, with places to go, And Mr Zero, he sadly stands still. As the water goes one way, the train goes another, Mr Zero stands still and Miss Someone don't bother. Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow, As campfires of midnight dissolve in the darkness. The room is deserted, the blinds have been drawn, Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone. Fast moving cars disappear down the highway, With signs that say "hitch-hikers: do not disturb". Mr Zero looks quietly up from the curb. Morning has faded, and shadows have grown, And Little Miss Someone is on her way home. Mr Zero stands watching, her plane flies above, And with frost-bitten hands waves goodbye to his love. Walks through the park on a bright summer Sunday, And tapestry kittens that hung on the wall. They all die in the air like a soft minor chord, A vacancy sign, and a bulletin board. Mr Zero is wrapping his jacket around him, Speaking kind words that should have been said long ago, But Little Miss Someone does not want to know. The night is deserted, there's dust on the shelf, Mr Zero sits lonely and talks to himself. It's too late to change, the fine line has been crossed, The charades are all done, Mr Zero has lost.

BTW, if he didn't come pre packaged with that nickname, we would have been accused of racism for comparing him to the fighter pilots of that nickname.

RibbieRubarb Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Actually more than the song the one thing that has been on my brain since we signed our new closer is "When Harry Met Sally" with Billy Crystal. He is discussing the movers who informed him that his wife was leaving him and he said the one had a shirt that read: "Don't f*** with Mr. Zero!" I smell a bullpen sign!!

Flash Tizzle Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Cmon people! There should be only one song playing when Mr. Zero steps out from the bullpen. Fans of 80's music will know this song: "Saved by Zero" The Fixx. How could it possibly get any better then that? At the end of games we will be essentially "saved by zero"..... Its f***ing perfect!!

Texsox Posted January 23, 2004 Author Share Posted January 23, 2004 Maybe, someday Saved by zero I'll be more together stretched by fewer Thoughts that leave me Chasing utter My dreams disown me Loaded with danger Maybe I'll win Saved by Zero Holding onto Wends that teach me I will conquer Space around me Maybe I'll win Saved by zero Maybe I'll win Saved by zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
