Dragon Song for Norpoint Americans
« on: November 03, 2005, 12:45:02 PM »

See, if you bug Dragon enough, he will do song for your team. :lol:
This one goes out to Miss America and all the DD's on her team.

of course......"sung to the Tune of God Bless the USA" :mrgreen:


PROUD TO PLAY FOR THE AMERICAN'S

If tomorrow the whole season was over
and tryouts started anew
and I had to pick a team again
this is exactly what I'd do
I'd go back to North Tacoma
wouldn't leave it all to fate
'cause this is the best team of gals around
and someday we will win state!

And, I'm proud to play for the American's
where I know I'll get to play
we practice hard for coachs Mike & Tim
and give our best at every game
and I gladly slide tackle to win the ball
and defend when I'm on "D"
'cause there ain't no doubt Miss America
is rooting hard for me

From the grass of Meeker MS
to the top of Mount Rainier
from Eastside down to Royals
and Harbor FC to ESA
we're the gals of Norpoint Americans
and our crazy parents stand and say;

We are proud to play for the Americans
where I know I'll get to play
we practice hard for coachs Mike & Tim
and give our best at every game
and I gladly slide tackle to win the ball
and defend when I'm on "D"
'cause there ain't no doubt Miss America
is rooting hard for me


Short song but the point gets across, hope you like it MA :mrgreen:

Original song went something like this:


Purple Dragons all in my brain
lately soccer just don't seem the same
field is ruined, full of mud and mush
'scuze me while I beat the Crush


Jimi didn't like original version though :oops:

Guess Dragon just way ahead of his times 8)

"The Dragon" launched the age of popular Christmas music when he wrote this song for the Astaire-Crosby movie Holiday Inn. Bing later recalled that Dragon referred to the song as "an amusing little number" when he first auditioned it for him. Bing recorded the song for Decca with the John Scott Trotter orchestra May 29, 1942, at the depth of World War II. No doubt the separation brought on by the War heightened the impact and success of this simple song. Before the year's end, "White Christmas" topped the charts, where it stayed for 11 weeks. It topped the charts again in 1945 for two weeks, and again in 1947 for a week. Not bad for 18 minutes work -- the time it took Bing to record the song. Bing recorded "White Christmas" again for Decca on March 19, 1947, with John Scott Trotter's Orchestra. It seems the original masters had been worn out in all the pressings. "White Christmas" is Bing's largest selling recording and the largest selling Christmas single of all time -- more than 30 million copies sold. "White Christmas" also won the Academy Award for best song of 1942. What people don't know is that the song was originally titled; "Dragon Chirstmas". Here is a sample of the original version:

The sun is shining
The grass is green
The flags on the corners all sway
I've never seen such a day
In District one, WA
But it's December the 24th
And I am longing to be up North.

I'm dreaming of a Dragon Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the wet pitch glistens,
And darling daughters all listen
To hear the ref's whistle in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a Dragon Christmas
With every soccer match I see.
May your games all be filled with desire.
And may all kids play with "Heart & Fire".

Dragon pull that off "little known" website of original Dragon Songs :mrgreen:
