[MEGADETHLOBSTA007]

todd bertuzzi?

[IDF1987]

@MEGADETHLOBSTA007 He got his ass destroyed by Carcillo yesterday.

[kathrynw21]

I think of boogaard everytime. RIP Boogaard. The biggest goon the aeros ever had-3

[DarthTJM]

I can't decide if I consider this or Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner the more emotional Warren Zevon ballad.

[RelevantOne]

Great song, Mitch Albom did the lyrics.

[19fifth]

GOD BLESS THE BOOGIEMAN.......RIP DEREK

[weldie]

Reminds me of Boogaard every time I hear it...

[endorgum]

Czech dont fight Czech just kick ass

[Raggadouche]

Tre kronor!

[sethmusic]

i read somewhere that david letterman did the "hit somebody" vocals....that would have been before he did anything else.....kinda cool....before he was a star, he did this.....is it true?....sounds like him

[psychosnake420]

@sethmusic yes that is letterman but it was in the very early days of his show Zevon was a regular guest on it, which lead to letterman helping out with the song

[srfgaming]

@sethmusic Yes that's Letterman in the song. He is a friend of the writer.

[MyMoppet52]

@sethmusic That was David but he was a star when he did it. He loved Warren. Some of the videos on utube showing Warren 'agreeing' that David co-wrote some of his songs...that is so fun to see. Of course David did NOT co-write any songs. Paul then starts asking Warren how he could have cheated David out of the royalties. They were very good friends. Warren came out nationally about his cancer on David's show. He had the entire hour to talk and sing.

[1444King]

Literally gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Zevon=Legendary.

[Tubernaut]

The big man crumbled, but he felt alright. I miss WZ.

[abuseforapie]

there were swedes to the left, Russians to the right, a Czech at the bovine looking for a fight.

[minonkracer]

@abuseforapie Its a "Czech at the blueline looking for a fight"

[divljipirat1]

[65viewer]

[HockeyBladesLogo]

If you haven't heard, director Kevin Smith is making a movie of this Warren Zevon song, co-written by Mitch Albom with a vocal contribution by David Letterman ("hit somebody!") Smith is known for movies like Clerks, Mall Rats, Zack and Miri Make a Porno and Jersey Girl among others. Albom who is also working on the movie script, wrote the book, Tuesdays With Morrie.

[hon160da]

[hoodus61]

[PPPhrank]

[prolifer1000]

Does the guy die at the end?

[WC6]

Nah, just knocked unconscious.

[pokox11]

Warren Zevon is the John Ferguson of songwriting

[abbydj10]

[BenAffleckSuperFan]

sean william scott is going to play buddy!

[Dpesh7]

the weirdest thing about this song- hearing David Letterman sing the chorus

[OvertureInProfile]

awesome song and slide show lol

[mach36poptart]

A kid on my team tells me that this is my song haha.

[ryanasi]

@mach36poptart sure bud

[marshman121]

woooo canucks!!

[gotit099]

yay at :58, and the very end, YEA WILD! MINNESOTA, STATE OF HOCKEY!

[taran155]

this song was written by Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press, and the guy who starts the "Hit Somebody" chant is David Letterman of Late Show fame.

[RhysEdwards5658]

@taran155

Yeah, but Mitch Albom was writing WITH Warren.

[JeffysPlayhouse]

Kevin Smith is turning this into a movie.

[cenasgay9111]

interesting

[roughridersrule1]

HAHAHAHA Todd Berttuzii

[delorme9]

Love song for Hockey fans

[chavopb]

This should be called the "Dave 'Hammer' Schultz Anthem." Bring back the Broad Street Bullies---NOT!

[nanku42]

E. Boulton!!!!!!!

[guidosegers]

Ivanans!

[kalmanalle21]

did a finn kill him? :o or did i misunderstand??

[TheTigerTrack]

No, the "flashing red light" is what comes on when someone scores a goal. So he finally scored :)

[kalmanalle21]

jeah but 'THE LAST THING HE SAW was that flashing red light'?

[Masterkavi]

@kalmanalle21 Pretty sure he just knocked him out.

[nopi313]

@kalmanalle21 no he didnt get killed the finn just hit him with a heavy chech and knocked him out it is sayin the last thing he saw was the flashing red light that is the goal light he scored but he got knocked out

[coutnall14]

This song could have been written for John Kordic. He stated how much he hated to fight, and grew up wanting to be Bobby Orr. Fits him to a tee.

[GMak220]

Greatest song for the greatest sport by the greatest songwriter!

[yrb37]

GO CAPS!!!

[MusicLover22896]

GO MUDBUGS!!!! WHHOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!

[Critchy39]

Fuck me!!!! : ) the memories this song brings back

[NevadaBoss]

if there is a more underrated song writer in American history, he has yet to show himself.

Truly a master word AND tunesmith.

but then, what else could a Genius from america do?

[CartoonFan56]

Warren Zevon once again shows he is one of the true gods of music. The song is beautiful and heartwarming.

[LiLKash52]

YEA Let's GO PENS 2009 CHAMPS

[SoylentGreenISHUNGRY]

Kevin Smith is doing a film based on this song.

[CartoonFan56]

Here's hoping it turns out well. Mitch Albom is writing the script.

[ac360lover17]

Will Ferrell should be in it. =)

[cowpacino]

Fucking awesome

[mikedjock]

@SoylentGreenISHUNGRY

I love Kevin Smith and I know hes a great director and a funny man. I just hope the movie is a bit touching, cause Buddy's story seems like it is. At least how I vision it.

[micfiends]

@SoylentGreenISHUNGRY is it called goon, because its already done bud

[hey12358y]

Warren Zevon is a genius. I know Mitch Albom wrote the lyrics, but Warren's singing just injects a crazy emotional punch. . The first time I listened to this song, I stood up and yelled when Buddy Scored!!!!

[jackassfromnc]

I never new that David Letterman was in this song. Learn something new everyday.

[barnztormre]

The live version is 100 times better. I dare you not to get chills when the crowd explodes in applaude after Warren sings "when the last thing he saw was the flashing red light".

[godawgs2006]

Warren Zevon was a kid who grew up in Cali with a Jewish gangster for a father and a Mormon mom.

Not surprising at all that he'd have a memorable hockey song, eh?

[dpksweet]

GOD BLESS HOCKEY!

[soxfan801]

I cried when Buddy finally scored

[delorme9]

This is a great song it gives me chills. Hockey is the greatest sport ever invented

[fyldths]

sweeds at the blue line finns at the red russian with a stick heading straight for his head. pure song writing genous

californication has done this singer/songwriter justace

[byrnie13]

this song gives me chills

[dannyrox6]

does anybody know what the song is called that goes i'llbe with you somebodaay plz reply

[36clashfan77]

is it a zevon song? cause if not then why the hell are you asking on a zevon video?

[mcmeister89]

Warren Zevon- "Hit Somebody!"

[steakquesadilla]

cool

[Jokuvaanjee]

im a finn and i like metal music but still this sounds nice, maybe coz it's about hockey :D

[balorandsoft]

Oh are you finnish?

May be it was you who hits canadian farm boy in the end of this song? :))))

[davedavedaver]

Background vocals by David Letterman (yes that David Letterman)

[gilmerlucius]

Written by Mitch Albom (yes that Mitch Albom).

[soxfan801]

Warren was one of the best songwriters ever, gone way too soon. WE all miss and love you ,Diane Warren couldn't carry your songbook

[jmpp678]

exactly

Warren Zevon FTW

[maxiedog13]

ooooh man this makes me wanna be canadiannnnnnnnnn =]

pause it at 2:34

suchhhh a great shot!

[stickpivoter]

Makes you proud to be Canadian :)

None of the fancy stuff just strength, pure effort and bravery. Thats how we beat the swedes in the juniors. ahaha pussy swedes can't every rush the net like a canadian boy.

[porter198126]

Yes that was a great game, however the semi final game against Russia showed the true Canadian heart no quit in that one. I was there the roof got blown off when we tied it up. Best hockey game I've ever been to. Oh yeah Warren Rules

[ilovetheDucks]

heh..Turco..

[Rwingr9]

possibly Zevon's best song ever. he is/was Canadian afterall, eh

[36clashfan77]

he was born in chicago and his family originally came from Ukraine

[Rwingr9]

Thanks for clearing that up

[monkeys37]

This song brings a tear to my eye when Buddy finally gets his goal.

[skinheeds1]

hit somebody yeah

[JillMaytee]

yeahhhhhhh!!!!!

[slapsh0t91]

I think of Colton Orr every time I hear this song lol. GO RANGERS!

[krazy16dude]

Orr is a goon, but not a very good one. When I think of a goon I think of Brashear or Janssen.

[cowpacino]

Pronger

[krazy16dude]

Pronger can score and well. Brashear gets a solid assist a season, Janssen doesn't even count his points.

[cowpacino]

Well then how about George Parros? The Ivy League goon

(I'm a biased Ducks fan if you can't tell) :D

[krazy16dude]

He's too smart to be a true goon. Boogard seems like a definition goon.

[MrKev02]

very good job.... it sombody allready!.. great creativity !

[gandyman008]

most epic song ever! I love it!

[erbfu]

I've never watched a hockey game in my life, yet my 2 favorite sports songs are about it. This one of course, and Big League by Red Rider.

[wookienaas001]

everytime i hear this song i invision Georges Laraque singing his life story. great song

[MichaelChin1994]

At 1:30 or so it is David Letterman who shouts in the background who shouts "hit somebody"

[spuddwebb]

That's one of the coolest things about this song isn't it?

[MichaelChin1994]

Yeah :-)

[parkinsouth]

theres 3 good things in life...

1)good music

2)hockey

3)girls

4)ATV's

warren zevon...nd hockey?i mean cmon..

[spuddwebb]

[alfadawg3552]

Freaking Zevon.... Aint he the best!!!

[crazeebat16]
