CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Sept. 14, 2012) -
Editor's Note: There is a video associated with this release.
Two hockey fans - Calgary eye surgeon, Arun Lakra and international recording artist, Raghav - team up to release youtube song to protest the looming NHL lockout.
| THE LOCKOUT SONG: |
| |
| Here we go again now Donald and Gary |
| I've been worried about a lockout since Corey Perry |
| And Ovechkin didn't suck |
| And Tim Thomas wasn't a wingnut |
We love the game. Not so much the business. Two solipsistic parties who can't find a way to carve up the billions. So who suffers? The loyal fans. And my two little kids.
As our song says…
| We're as scared as a cabbie for Kane |
| We're as fragile as Crosby's brain |
| We're as truculent as Brian Burke with Kevin Lowe |
We can threaten to boycott future games. But they know we're bluffing. We love the game too much. We will come back. We know it. They know it.
Perhaps there is a better way to make our point… in a language they just might under$tand.
Written by Arun Lakra to the tune of Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours," and sung by Juno-nominated recording artist Raghav, "The Lockout Song" says…
| I have seen this all before and I won't take it anymore |
| If you go and lock the door then I won't wear your merch no more |
Enough is enough. It's time to take a stand. No more jerseys. No hats. No bobbleheads. No yo-yo's. No toilet seat covers.
No More Merch… until 2013-14.
Thank you for having a look.
