Hey! Remember Me?

JohnRadcliff — Mon, 03 May 2010 22:59:09 +0000

Sorry I’ve been gone so long. I didn’t plan on not writing any sports songs for this long. It just kind of happened that way. Anyhow, the good folks at Yardbarker wanted me to pass along this short survey. It really is short, doesn’t ask any personal questions, and you can win a $100 American Express gift card. All they really want to know is if you go to blogs or main stream media for your sports information. You’ve done far stupider things in your life. So go ahead and click that link. I’ll wait.

OK, so your gift from me to you for taking the survey is the Admiral Ackbar theme I did a couple months ago but never got around to putting it to video.

Martial Arts Movies Are Sporty, Right?

JohnRadcliff — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:00:40 +0000

It’s not always easy to come up with a sports song. So I will from time to time post something my band, Ovada has done. The idea behind this song was to use only titles from Steven Seagal movies and to make it kind of bad ass to reflect all the broken bones and jimmy shockers that would show up in the video. I think we got that covered.

The BCS Mess

JohnRadcliff — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 13:54:19 +0000

We had five undefeated teams heading into the bowl season in college football. But only two ever had a shot at playing for the title. That in and of itself is sad. What if TCU is the best team in Texas this year? You’ll never know. I’ve got a million of those “what if” scenarios, but only one answer. You’ll never know. If you agree with this video, send it to your congressman, your school’s president, the NCAA. You know what, don’t bother. Like me, you probably don’t have enough money to be heard.

As alway, a big thanks to LSUFreek for putting the video together, and thanks to EDSBS for linking it up this morning!!

Merry Christmas

I think we’re gonna keep the BCS thing on ice until after Christmas. So until then, Merry Christmas!

A Non-Sports Related Electric God

JohnRadcliff — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 00:08:09 +0000

It seems hard to put stuff together during the holiday season. Being in a band takes away from me doing the sports songs as much as I’d like to as well. So just to give you something to chew on, here’s my band Ovada doing Electric God.

Songs Not Put To Video Yet

JohnRadcliff — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 23:43:04 +0000

This is a collection of songs I haven’t put to video yet. It seems like a good idea just to get a post up. They’re fun, to me anyway. If you’re a Marshall or Greg Robinson fan, not so much.

The first one is Turd Country I wrote for the Marshall-WVU game. Being that I’m a WVU fan it’s kind of one sided.

Turd Country

The next one is written for Syracuse fans. It’s kind of a slight, but it came from a good place because I wanted to say I was happy they got rid of GRob and brought in a coach that understands the program. Anyway, it’s called Welcome Back Syracuse. Original title, I know. Just work with me people.

Welcome Back Syracuse

This last one isn’t really anything to do with anything, just that maybe someone might want a copy of the original version of Rocky Top I did for EDSBS.

Gwar Meets Bluegrass

JohnRadcliff — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 22:19:36 +0000

Head over to EDSBS and check out the Gwar infused version of Rocky Top. I did the music and Orson…he…well, just go listen. It’s mind bottling. Thanks to O for getting me to work on that with him!

I’ll have a song to send to the B C S here in a couple days. Check back.

Between Songs

JohnRadcliff — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:56:19 +0000

Since this site is still fairly new I’d like to at least keep you interested until I have a few more songs under my belt. I’m working on something, but it might not be out until the beginning of next week. So I thought I’d post some other peoples songs up here and give a little tip of the hat.

Here’s Ryan Parker from this summer with the Boston Trophy Party. Let the Boston hate fill your veins.

Here’s our friend LSUFreek with Les Miles singing Short People.

Freek again with a masterpiece, Junk Food.

Charlie Weis Hot Seat

JohnRadcliff — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:25:49 +0000

There’s no doubt that Charlie Weis is on the hottest of hot seats with his second straight home loss to Navy this year and a pitiful overall record against ranked teams. In fact, I doubt there is anything he can do to save his job at this point. But hey, he’s the one that set the expectations so high.

Special thanks as always to LSUFreek for taking my song and making a wonderful video interpretation.

You can download the song here.

Bobby Bowden’s Swan Song

JohnRadcliff — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:26:48 +0000

It’s been neat to build these posts up for the launch of the site. I haven’t watched a lot of these videos for a while. Doing so makes it obvious that I should create this site.

But now we’re finally in the present and the best video I’ve been part of. LSUFreek and I got to know each other and decided we should try to collaborate on some funny. Bobby Bowden was just too big a target not to take a shot at. Everything else is in the future.

You can download the song here.
