Christopher Reeves 10/11/04

Former Superman actor Christopher Reeves died after getting an infection that really weakened his heart. He fell into a coma one day and then died the next day. Now who will save the earth from Non and his super criminals (bad Superman II reference). These super criminals were busy causing havoc on earth while Superman was trying to tap Lois' ass in his Kryptonian stabbing cabin. Thinking back I'll give you a break on that Superman I think I'd rather be nailing some dame in the Kryptonian stabbin cabin rather than saving the earth. I could have focused more on him falling off the horse but I couldn't bust on Superman like that. Anyway on to the CITW:


Goodbye Christopher Reeves
I new Superman pretty well
You had all those powers
Lex Luthor would surely tell
You crawled out of nowhere
With a red cape in your hand
Climb upon a horse
And you would never to walk again

And it seemed to me like you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing when to see
Lois’ underwear with X-ray vision again
And it seemed like I knew you
When I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
The Superman curse ever did.

Former NL MVP Ken Caminiti

Ken Caminiti was the first guy I remeber with the bald head goatee look that has been all the rage for the last few years. He was on the juice and probably died of an cocaine overdose. I'm guessgin on the OD but was I right or was I right about Rick James? Ken won a few Gold Gloves and NL MVP a few years ago while he was playing with San Diego.

Goodbye Ken Caminiti
Bald head and goatee served you well
You had the power to swing a bat
Home runs and strike outs swell
You crawled out of Houston
Got some Gold Gloves on your hand
Won the NL MVP
Admitted you were on the stuff again

And it seemed to me that you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing when to call the doc
To get the juice to shoot again
And though I didn’t know you
Figured out how you got big
You candle burned out long before
Your coke habit ever did

Rodney Dangerfield 10/6

Comedy legend Rodney Dangerfield passed away last night. He'd had some medical problems recently and they just caught up with him. To honor the love I have for two partiucular movies he was in I present 2 CITW remixes. One for Caddyshack and the other for Back to School. Bonus on the Back to School since I worked in my favorite line from the movie into the song.

Some where right now Ted Knight and Rodney are talking and I can just hear Ted saying "Bushwooooood". In closing: "Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? Oh, it looks good on you though."

CITW-Caddyshack version
Goodbye Al Czervik
Judge Smailes knew you well
You danced to a Journey song
Ugly pants we all could tell
You crawled out of nowhere
With a giant golf bag in your hand
Became a golf icon
Till you broke your arm again

And it seemed to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Playing with Ty Webb Smailes loses again
And it seemed like I knew you
When I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your days a Bushwood ever did

CITW-Back to School
Goodbye Thornton Melon
I knew you were tall and fat
You did the triple lindy and said
“Well you are short and ugly give me my pen back.”
You crawled out of nowhere
A clothing store to your name
Went to school with your kid
College never was the same

And it seemed to me that you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing when to say
Those things about Vietnam again
And I would have liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your college memories ever did
