The Little Yummer Boy

PrintGCA lamented the lack of a video of me singing. She can continue to lament, because I couldn't learn iMovie in a day. However, I did record some audio, which is embedded after the jump (caution: the audio plays automaticlly and the lyrics are slightly NSFW). The engineering is awful and the harmonies are worse (which is all on me, because I played, sang and recorded all the tracks myself) but I didn't have time to get it perfect because it had to be posted before the WKU game. I hope you enjoy listening half as much as I enjoyed doing it, because that would mean I had twice as much fun as you.
Little Yummer Boy
Come, they told me, come down to the Yum
Homecoming kings to see, who play at the Yum
The blocks that Gorgui brings are always good fun
And Kuric from the wings great damage has done
Behanan "and one"
Buckets in tons
Eighteen in a row the games we have won
Down at the Yum
But I said, that's weak, it doesn't belong
I am a roundball freak, so don't get me wrong
But this is Belk Bowl week, so here is my song
The thrills that I will seek are under coach Strong
Eli goes long
Teddy throws bombs
Victor and Dominique will move it along
Cardinal Strong
On New Year's Eve, I wish to see at the Rupp
Peypey will drive and dish for Buckles' layups
And then the ball goes swish when Chris jacks it up
Steals and deflections by Interrobang Russ
Those are a must
Gotta love Russ
Goodman, Gottlieb, you can shut the fuck up
When we win at the Rupp
Fellow Chronicloids, my song is now done
I hope you weren't annoyed, it's all been in fun
Although at times he's toyed with our emotions
We all have much enjoyed what Rutherford's done
We know the Chron
Is number one
So to honor him, no more will I pun
Now I'll just hum

Dude. This was hilarious.
Kudos to the song and to the pipes.

I can't seem to make it not autostart
I hate web pages that play audio automaticlly. I put “autostart=false” in the embed tag, and in the preview it works; but SBN rewrites the damn embed tag without the autostart parameter, and apparently the default is to play it. So if you come back to this page and you get tired of hearing the song, you’ll have to stop it yourself.
I did put it after the jump, so if it gets bumped it won’t play every time you come to CC.

Haha, awesome!
I didn’t read the lyrics before listening so needless to say I laughed uncontrollably at “Goodman and Gottlieb…”. Great stuff, only on the Chron.

Stop calling it that.

Great stuff Rick
A wonderful melodic combination of Woodie Guthrie and Mahalia Jackson with just a hint of the Oak Ridge Boys. Lyrics by John Lennon of course.

Of all the fantastic CC moments throughout the years, this has to be one of my favorites.
Just finished watching Christmas movies with friends, wrapping the last presents to place under the tree, and now have a new carol.
for real
definitely one of my all-time favorite CC moments.
Beyond the amazing lyrics, I especially love the key changes… and the rhythmic strums/backing vocals on Verse Three… and the conclusion: “hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.”
THANK YOU!!!

Very Nice
This is great now how do I download it? Has anyone tweeted it @gottlieb? He’s just standing on the sidelines in Hawaii doing nothing.
If my posts here don't make any sense just think what my tweets are like @cubsncards

- Rick Pitino
agreed
so many classic lines in there, but calling out those two, followed by “shut the fuck up – When we win at the Rupp”….! One of the best couplets of all time.
by BostonCardFan on Dec 23, 2011 2:28 PM EST up reply actions
and especially since the rest of it is so positive and good-natured
it really makes the f-bomb POP. :)
by BostonCardFan on Dec 23, 2011 2:28 PM EST up reply actions
I knew that was the line that would get the laugh
but for myself, I was prouder of making “emotions” rhyme with “fun.”
"...and the present, for us, is something that we really look forward to."

Simply fantastic, Rick!
You could say that it tickled my fancy.
"You can sum this sport up into two words: 'You never know.'"
Very nicely done!
What did you use to record it?
by cardcorefan on Dec 23, 2011 5:48 AM EST via mobile reply actions

Rick This is just really, really wonderful
Great job, and thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Taking a song so universally reviled and making something you want to hear again and again… It’s a Christmas Miracle!
I just can't stop listening to it.
I feel like my ears are tasting dark chocolate. Well done.

What a great start to the day
Thanks, Rick. That was awesome.

Any other day, I'd say it's impossible for CC to rate any higher with Cards fans than it already does.
Yet Rick found a way to move it higher. Nice work dude.
Rick, you've got creativity and talent shooting out of your ass.
You might want to have that looked at.

Wow! That's incredibly funny and well-done.
I think we all just witnessed the birth of a new holiday tradition.

Jeff Goodman does not understand why Louisville fans are excited about this
but in 2013 rickmbari will be his avatar.
Rickmbari…were you or were you not the lead singer for Men at Work?
Hahahaha

Ok,... so now I feel like a heel for asking if you were a Tom Jones imperonator.
That is awesome, you have to make another one when we go to the Final Four this year.

Listened to it about 5 minutes ago
Still smiling. Awesome job, Rick. The Goodman/Gottlieb line almost resulted in pants peed. Lol.
Go Cards!!!

Incredible, Rick.
I’m sure this took a lot of time, but I think this should be a monthly installment on CC. For paying subscribers only of course.

I like how it comes on every time I come back in here to check what's been posted since I last checked
CC means so much to me that I check EVERY COMMENT! Catch up when I have to, etc. It’s unhealthy – I’ve not eaten much today. lol. It’s all worth it though.
GO! CARDS!
BEAT!
PURDUE!
Me too. I simply cannot have an unread comment. None!

Y'all are great
Thanks for all the compliments. It’s great to get this kind of reaction to a silly parody that I didn’t even think I sang that well. Someday I’ll figure out iMovie, take some time to get a few tunes right, and upload them to YouTube. They probably (and by probably I mean definitely) won’t all be Cards-related, but I’d like to show you what I can really do. Little Drummer Boy is not quite anywhere close to my usual genre.

Maybe this should be your genre
Awesome work by the way

This is the only Christmas song, or Christmas anything for that matter, that I like.

WTF
How did this get back to the top of the front page??
