If It's Parody, It's Genius



(But I'm guessing this one's for real ...)

While the positives of your team winning a championship far outweight the negatives, there's still one aspect that all fans, nay, humans in general dread. And that's the eventual Championship Season Official Song.

Now, I'm not talking about songs that your team adopts during the season as their own rallying cry. I mean the songs that get produced after the championship is in the books (unless you're a punky QB known as McMahon, of course) serving as a time capsule for the year's previous success while hoping it will find its way into the national (fan nation, at least) conscious and become that team's theme song for years to come.

Of course, most of these songs such. Especially this one, for my beloved White Sox.

A sample of the lyrics:
Here come the Sox
Grinders and gamers and overacheivers
Foul weather
fanatics and true believers
A walkoff or a walk, it ain't the ball
that's
smart
Playin' hardball with a 16 inch heart
Sox rule, Sox
reign, Sox
rock
Here come the Sox

Good choice on the dirty 80s hair metal, guys. (Especially that awesome squealing high-pitched guitar riff, straight out of an 80s suspense movie.) That'll do wonders in erasing this image people have in their heads of White Sox fans.

It's bad.

But it's still not as bad as Here Come the Hawks, a recording made for the Chicago Blackhawks in 1968.

It's actually a pretty similar premise to the ChiSox tune, except replace the 80's hair band with Herb Alpert.
