The Good Phight Bloggers as Awesome Rock Anthems, and Other, Lesser, Forms of Artistic Expression, Part II
*winner of and nominated for zero awards.
Originally published at Phrozen's Notes.
Lizroscher – Blonde, Bad, Beautiful, Airbourne. I'm taking some artistic license with this one, as I don't know Liz personally, nor do I know if she's blonde, but if wit is anything to go on, this is a perfect fit. Plus, it's a rockin' drivin' song, and the band's name is in a foreign language.
TheOrangeCone - Orange Barrels, Heywood Banks. No really. How much more apt can you get.
Actually, this may not be as funny as I'd hoped, so I'll have to try again. How about this? Blaze of Glory, Bon Jovi. Because you don't burn the Werth jersey your Dad gave you. Yeah. Plus, it's solidly in rock anthem territory.
David S Cohen - Put Me in Coach, John Fogerty. For the guy who makes this catch, well, there's really nothing else to say.
Doubleh - Holy Diver, Ronnie James Dio. This may be a bit of a stretch, but, hey, Wildcats are kinda like Tigers, right? Also, because awesome. Not enough cussing, probably, but whatever.
LeepinLizardz - Sigh, Praful. Bear with me. Watch the video. Yeah. "He might be 35 years old, but boy can he still fly. #FreeScottPods" That guy. He may not be the best player on the roster, and he may not be the Dread Pirate Roberts, but the dude loves the game. And I guess he's kinda hot. Or something.
Cormican - Dinosaur, Ke$ha. Sorry, Cormican. No really, it's outta my hands, here. You brought this upon yourself. There's really no other reason than that. Also I'm lazy. Also you're a man to figure. Also I thought this would be funnier than it probably is. But goddamn, I don't like that song. I owe you one, Cormican. Really, I do. Have an Internet Beer on me.
Jose and the Contrarians - La Candela, Yerba Buena. I don't know anything about this song, and I don't speak whatever language that is, but I'm assuming it's about how his truck broke down, his wife left him, and his dog died. Well, the Phillies' Truck may break down from time to time, but he's still our truck, and by God, we love him.
EREX21 - Danger Zone, Kenny Loggins. Bear with me. I'm not sure what to say about this, except that Giant Space Bears are probably one of the biggest dangers of life in Alaska. Unless you're a hockey fan like Rex, in which case, rock on, cause you survived on an asteroid! Unless unless you root for the wrong team, in which case the entire Earth was destroyed. Go 'Nooks! Note: I know you're probably not a Nanooks' fan. I forgive you.
Honorable Mention:
Jason Brannon - Born in the U.S.A., Bruce Springsteen. Well. Being a Birther but for Pujols kinda lends itself to this. Sorry, Jason, I like your writing, but you're kinda a moran when it comes to EVIDENCE!!!
The 2011-2012 Philadelphia Eagles - I Hate Myself for Lovin' You, Joan Jett. I been dreamin' about the
The Rest of TheGoodPhight.Com - We Are the Lonely, John Prine. 'We are the Lonely all together. All together. We're all alone." I love you guys. We're all together.

And here, I went and found you yer own Awesome Rock “”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udijxk21mzQ" target="new">anthem"
I can get behind it, mostly because the video is awesome. Who doesn’t like Giant Space Bears blowing stuff up and chopping boats in half with a hockey stick-lightsaber combination? No one, that’s who.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
Yeah. That video is one of several, and they’re the real intro/pump-up videos played before UAF hockey games. The others are no less awesome, but the destruction is usually limited to Anchorage. I figured this would be more fun.
Of course, it’s not shown in the clip, but I think the Spectrum Wachovia Center is on a different asteroid somewhere.
You’ve captured my essence with a funky Caribbean beat. Well done.

Wasn’t my song Burrell’s walk up music for a while? I can live with that. Also, tigers iz awesome and they’ll rip your throat out if you don’t agree.
"I wouldn’t run if there was a fire. I wouldn’t run anywhere. I hate running." - O. Munn
Wait…DIO…fuckin’ DIO? What’s that crap power metal doing here. I’m fuckin’ dying. Here’s the rules on power metal. King Diamond, Iron Maiden and the rest is garbage. Well some people put Priest in the power metal category…just don’t trust anything after Defenders of the Faith though.
Hey thanks for the Cthulhu anthem, Phrozen. I saw it but didn’t finish my rather cool response before the thread went off the board. Poop. I haven’t been around these parts for awhile.
Cormican, throw that skank in a tarpit
Throw J Mascis in there too…for ruining it all. Then again it was worth it.
LOL. How’ve you been jreed?
Hey, I did say, “…and other lesser forms…” did I not? Cut me some slack, jack.
