Pick and Roll Parody

Ah, yes, the ivory towers of academia bristle with the Newtonian genius of McQuady, Kentucky's number one sage. This should build the confidence of the Commonwealth that her children are being well educated at institutions of higher learning like Western Kentucky University -- the Harvard of South Central Kentucky -- when they see this kind of creativity emerging from the tiled and marbled hallways of The Hill.

The song can be sung to the old Dr. Hook song "Cover of the Rolling Stone." It's always been one of my favorite songs, so I think it is funny that someone came up with a parody of Pick and Roll using that song. I started thinking about the song when I started writing columns for High School Zone Magazine and took copies to my parents in Mayfield, "Gonna buy five copies for my mother."

Chris Gregory and I don't have Indian gurus or teenage, blue-eyed groupies, and neither of us wears an eye-patch. I don't have a limo for my poor old gray haired daddy to drive, either.

If you don't know the tune follow the above link and listen. Here you go:

Well I’m a big time blogger
Not killing trees like a logger
And I write about things I know
I write about history and I write about hoops
I’m not worried about making much dough
I’ve got a big gas bill that gives my wife a cold chill
But it’s a chill that has got to go
When my wife starts reading what’s I’m writing
On the Pennyrile Pick and Roll

(Pick and Roll) Wanna read the stories by your lover?
(Roll) Wanna send the link to your mother?
(Roll) Wanna see what I’ll write next
On the Pennyrile Pick and Roll


I’m not shady just taking my old lady
To gyms that she ain’t never seen
I got my little son and daughter
Taking notes for our e-zine
Now it’s all designed to cover our region
But the region won’t really be covered
Until your team hosts a game that’ll get you
On the Pennyrile Pick and Roll

(Pick and Roll) Wanna read the stories that we cover?
(Roll) Wanna write about some others?
(Roll) Wanna see what we’ll write next
On the Pennyrile Pick and Roll

I’ve got me a 5th Region correspondent
Who’ll write anything I want
I got a fancy web counter
That’s keeping track of the hits
I got all the space that a blog provides
So I never have to cut it off
And I’ll keep writing and you’ll keep reading
What’s on the Pennyrile Pick and Roll

(Pick and Roll) Wanna read the stories that we cover?
(Roll) Wanna send a link to your mothers?
(Roll) Wanna see what we’ll write next
On the Pennyrile Pick and Roll
On the Pennyrile Pick and Roll
