Wake Me Up When Hockey Begins (Green Day Parody)
This is a parody of Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends". It is about the summer after the Sharks lost to the Dallas Stars in the 2nd round of the 2008 NHL Playoffs.
I admit it, I'm a one-trick pony. I do parodies. So far they are about my beloved NHL team, the San Jose Sharks. They are my favorite team and this year is t
Story behind the song
I wrote it because I was totally depressed about being so close to winning game 6 v. the Stars. I really did believe that we were going to win it and force a game 7. I thought the stars were in our galaxy, unfortunately I was wrong. Oh well...this is how I got over the loss and what the Sharks did to improve their roster and be the President's Trophy winner for the 2009 season. Too bad the 2009 post season didn't end as the Sharks had hoped.
Lyrics
The season has gone so fast.
Expectations rise then pass.
Wake me up when September ends.
Like the playoffs of before,
a couple rounds and out the door.
Wake me up when September ends.
Here comes that pain again,
this time from the Stars.
Entrenched in R shame again.
This is who we are.
Highlight moments fade to black,
but we never forget what we felt.
Wake me up when September ends.
(music break)
Summer has come too fast.
Who and what will be recast?
Wake me up when September ends.
Wring out the coach again,
and enter ex-Wings McLellan.
Wake me up when September ends.
We pray for some clarity
a new system can bring.
If they play in solidarity,
the Sharks can be the real thing!
As new members settle in,
the a€œspecial teamsa€ work must begin.
Wake me up when September ends.
(long music break)
The new season will start again.
Expectations high again.
Wake me up when September ends.
Like the seasons of before,
we want Stanley even more!
Wake me up when September ends.
Wake me up when September ends.
Wake me up when Hockey begins.
