Bonnie Tyler Rules! (Help Requested)

Lipssan1 liked my parody, and suggests someone on this board should record it. So I've written up full lyrics. Let's do this thing!

Total Eclipse At The Park

Turnaround, every now and then we get swept by the Pirates when it seems the team is coming around
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of the jeers
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of Barry's years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see Alou shagging flies

Turnaround franchise!
Every now and then we fall apart
Turnaround franchise!
Every now and then we fall apart

And we need to win this year
And we need it more than ever
And if we trade Matt Cain for shite
We'll be waiting till forever
And we're hacking at slop every night
And hit for power on the First of Never
This team is coming to the end of the line
But there's still enough talent to win one last time
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
It seems we hit like Neifi does and pitch like Steve Sparks
We really must win tonight
The pennant race will start tonight
The pennant race will start tonight

Once upon a time Bonds hit shots to the cove
Now his body's falling apart
There's nothing he can do
A total eclipse at the park
Once upon a time we had Nen every night
Benitez isn't up to the mark
And Worrell is the same
A total eclipse at the park

Turnaround franchise!
Every now and then we fall apart
Turnaround franchise!
Every now and then we fall apart

And we need to win this year
And we need it more than ever
And if we trade Matt Cain for shite
We'll be waiting till forever
And we're hacking at slop every night
And hit for power on the First of Never
This team is coming to the end of the line
But there's still enough talent to win one last time
I don't know what to do, I'm always in the dark
It seems we hit like Neifi does and pitch like Steve Sparks
We really must win tonight
The pennant race will start tonight
The pennant race will start tonight

Re: Bonnie Tyler Rules! (Help Requested)
That is simply amazing.

Oh, and if your pancreas is still functioning, I have a copy of Bonnie Tyler's eight-minute-long cover of Air Supply's "Making Love out of Nothing at All," featuring a ghostly coluratura soprano, full symphony orchestra, and boys' choir.

True story.

Re: GENIUS!
Holy god, THAT is brilliant.  I am literally crying real tears and peeing real pee (though the tears are the only emission actually attributable to the hilarity of your piece; the pee is just for fun).  That is absolutely hilarious.  After the first couple lines, I actually slowed down and sang it in my head, and it scans perfectly.  

I think we can retire the trophy for Greatest Parody of Song.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more/ Or close the wall up with our Giants dead.

Turn around, franchise
I'll be hearing that for a long time. Okay, I already like song. But this is a genius parody, and definitely needs to be recorded by somebody.
Waiting for Travis, Nate, Marcus, and Nick P.

Re: Bonnie Tyler Rules! (Help Requested)
I record music on occasion and may (not making any promises) be keen to take a stab at this.

It would be dependent mainly on whether I can recruit someone, preferably female, to sing it, since I can't sing a lick.

Again, no promises, but I'll look into it.

Mighty Casey would have taken Felix Rodriguez deep.

Re: Bonnie Tyler Rules! (Help Requested)
I can't sing a lick either..but if you DO recruit a female then I can lick a sing.Er.
 I'll see myself out...have a great weekend.
