More Singing in the Den of Iniquity
I have a buddy named Mark who serves time with me in the Den of Iniquity. He likes music too, but he’s more inclined along the lines of stringed and various instruments. My tastes of course run the more reasonable route of vocal music. So we haven’t yet found a huge amount of common musical ground, but we do enjoy discussing musical things.
Mark: Jerry Garcia! The Grateful Dead!
Me: Gag! Urp!
One thing we do agree on though is that classic rock stations play “We Will Rock You“/”We are the Champions of the World” WAY too much. Sometimes we’d hear that miserable “anthem” several times in one day, yea, in one morning!
So one time a while ago I was working away from a radio. Mark comes over and says Tom your favorite song was on the radio! Meaning “We are the Champions.” In mock enthusiasm I said I don’t need the radio, I’ll just sing it myself! Then proceeded to launch into the second line, something like this (32KB, 0:07).
“Tom!” he said. “You really shouldn’t use that falsetto any more, you’d better stick to bass.”

Never again? I heartily disagree. Where would the world be without great humour like that falsetto? And you know, every time I hear that song, “We Are The Champions” I think of the Mighty Ducks 2…a sick interpretation of hockey.

Kaitlyn! HEY! You offend me deeply. I was the greatest Mighty Ducks fan of all time. I loved those little hunks. Better watch your next words.
Tom, I’m changing my mind about alot of things.You know, between the two of us, something about that sounds kinda like Byran. Honest, I think it was in the “fighting” tone. We won’t tell him that, cause he may never sing again.

Tom, Just thought I would let you know that in my senior year, at the private school we was blessed to attend, the song you have referred to, was our theme song as we went undefeated in football, and only lost one basketball game. Therefore, that song has some sentimental value for me. Some things you learn as you get older, huh? another older brother…dt

Do you recognize the name Green Day? There is a Green Day song that fits me perfectly (w/some changes) I Walk This Empty Street, On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams but I Walk With God, I Walk With God…
