"Play Me I'm Yours" exhibition in San Jose - 20 years (Proclaimers parody)

This is a parody of the Proclaimers "I'm gonna be (500 miles)". I wrote it to commemorate the 20th season of the San Jose Sharks. I just happened to find out about the exhibition of Luke Jerram's art installation "Play Me I'm Yours", what a great idea...check out the link:

one of the pianos was in front of HP Pavillion. I decided to perform my parody at one of these pianos. With the help of cover band "Something Awesome", they helped me make this sound pretty good. Hopefully the 20th season brings the cup to SJ!

Here's the lyrics to "Twenty Years (I'll be the fan):

When it's game day, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the fan who's standing first in line.
When I dress up, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the fan who's head to toe in Teal.

If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the fan who gets drunk for the Sharks
Like Iafrate (the planet!), yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the fan that gets in affray for them.

Cuz I have cheered for twenty years,
and I will cheer for twenty more!
And I'll be the fan who cheers the Sharks for years,
and I'll cheer forever more!

Got my knowledge, yes I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the fan who's Nolan 'bout the Sharks.
And when I'm online, all that stuff I know about,
I'm gonna post on fearthefin for all to see.

If I'm at home (if I'm at home) oh I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the fan watching Randy and Drew.
And if I'm laughing, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the fan who's laughing at their jokes.

Cuz I have cheered for twenty years,
and I will cheer for twenty more!
And I'll be the fan who cheers the Sharks for years,
and I'll cheer forever more!

Na, na, nabby! (Na, na, Nabby!)
Na, na, Nabby! (Na, na, Nabby!)
Thanks to you, luck to you, we'll miss you so!
Nitimaki! (or Niemi)
Nitimaki! (or Niemi!)
Who will start, who will start, who will start?!

I'll buy a jersey, and I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the fan who fouls it for the Sharks.
And when I'm yelling, yeah I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the fan who yells from 209 (YOU SUCK!)

If I'm crying, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the fan who cries when the Sharks lose.
When I'm dreaming (when I'm dreaming) well I'm know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the Sharks winning the cup!
Gonna dream about the Sharks wiiiiniiing the cup!

Cuz I have cheered for twenty years,
and I will cheer for twenty more!
And I'll be the fan who cheers the Sharks for years,
and I'll cheer forever more!

Jamie Baker (and Doug Wilson)
Larionov (and Makarov)
Don't forget Irbe and Kelly Hrudey

Owen Nolan (and Mike Ricci)
Brian Marchment (and Mike Rathje)
Don't forget Steve Shields and Mike Vernon

Patrick Marleau (and Joe Thornton)
Joe Pavelski (and Dan Boyle)
Don't forget Jeremy and Cheechoo

GO SHAARKS! (GO SHAARKS!)
GO SHAARKS! (GO SHAARKS!)
Win the Cup, win the cup, win the cup!

Cuz I have cheered for twenty years,
and I will cheer for twenty more!
And I'll be the fan who cheers the Sharks for years,
and I'll cheer forever more!

Great video! I am a Worcester Sharks fan.

[mao2meow]

@72klh Glad you liked it! You should check out my re-make for of this song that I did at the end of the season. I'm still bummed out about the WCF loss v. VAN. The Sharks are a better team than the Canucks, if only they had been a fresher, healthier team. Oh well, flukey goal, flukey end of the season.

Wish I could go back east and check out the Worcester Sharks during the regular season.

GO SHARKS! GO WORCESTER SHARKS!!!

[TehJuxtaposer]

Oh. My. God. I absolutely love the original song of this and now I can't stop laughing!

Great job guys!

I am very emotionally attached to the sharks... been a fan for all 20 years, and was a member of the Pepsi (and the Dew) Tank patrol for 3 years... this really hit my heart
