Reuben Pastor, Seymour Knox, Bob Swados, franchise talks

Oakland Seals, backroom deals, Sabres in Buffalo

 

Clarence Campbell spins the wheel, hello Perreault, Imlach steals

Roger Crozier, Sundae Bafo, faceoff with Beliveau

 

Gerry Meehan, Goyette, Ted Darling, Jeanneret

Christie, seats in the sky, and hip checks by Robitaille

 

French Connection, Aud streak, Buffalo's got a winning team

Thank you Sabres, Thank you Sabres, Timmy Horton goodbye

 

We always loved the Sabres

When our hearts were churnin'

When our dreams were burnin'

We always loved the Sabres

No we didn't light it

And could never fight it

 

Tsujimoto, Danny Gare, Gary Bromley, foggy air

Broad Street Bullies, Conn Smythe goalies, "In the Corner"

 

Blizzard, 12 to 6, April Fool's Day hijinx

See ya Seymour, Monday Massacre

 

John Van Boxmeer, Schoeny shedding airport tears

Earl Howze, Foligno, Wowie Housley, Bobby O

 

Ellis, Colisee, Frankie Sauve, Chevrier

Bert retires, Bowman's fired, Sabres trade Barrasso

 

We always loved the Sabres

When our hearts were churnin'

When our dreams were burnin'

We always loved the Sabres

No we didn't light it

And could never fight it

 

Playoff drought, defector, Pizzutelli, jugular

May Day, We Want Ray, La La La LaFontaine

 

Hannan from, Jason Dawe, Jimmy Hoffa goal call

Aram Khachaturian, Farewell Auditorium

 

Randy Burridge, Barnaby, Jumbotron, Ojibwa

Boogie Man's big nose, melted cheese and nachos

 

Steve Shields, fans in love, Derek Plante off Tugnutt's glove

Dominator Psycho, chaos in the Crossroads

 

We always loved the Sabres

When our hearts were churnin'

When our dreams were burnin'

We always loved the Sabres

No we didn't light it

And could never fight it

 

Lindy-Darcy, Fraser, Dom as Cosmo Kramer

Smehlik, Zhitnik, Number 4's helmet kiss

 

Rolie's in and Rob Ray scores, Sabres win the Border War

Stuuuuu, Simonick, Eddie beats Dominik

 

Tool talk, Peca walks, Sabres owner shown on FOX

SHK, NRK, what else do I have to say?

 

We always loved the Sabres

When our hearts were churnin'

When our dreams were burnin'

We always loved the Sabres

As we learned to suffer

Only made us tougher

 

Larry Quinn, Bettman, blue and gold is back again

7-6, Sausage, staphylococcus

 

Soupy, "Who else?", Goo Goo Dolls, goalies in a line brawl

Captains vanish in thin air, Van becomes a millionaire

 

Goodbye seven, empty wing, hockey heaven, suffering

Jochen Hecht, hole in net, Hull, slug, Dudacek

 

No more beer cups on the floor, FNC's a freakin bore

Grigorenko shoots he scores, I can't take it anymore

 

We always loved the Sabres

When our hearts were churnin'

When our dreams were burnin'

We always loved the Sabres

And when we are gone

They will skate on and on and on and on

And on and on and on and on…

 

We always loved the Sabres

When our hearts were churnin'

When our dreams were burnin'

We always loved the Sabres

As we learned to suffer

Only made us tougher

 

We always loved the Sabres

When our hearts were churnin'

When our dreams were burnin'…

I almost spit my coffee out when you guys rhymed staphylococcus.

 

This is cool. Nothing fancy, just effective. The original song isn't something I've ever been a fan of but I couldn't stop smiling during this version.

Wow! PA really worked his tail off on this. It polished up awesome. To fit relevant lyrics in this mode is tough. I just spitballed with him for a bit at the beginning and was headed towards more of a limerick vibe, but I'm glad you held your ground PA. It works. And Swamp is a freaking jack of all trades. Nice job. My guess is that you don't smoke to be able to get that out. And the Sabre Dance guitar riff in the middle was sweet. The audio clips are perfect too.

The whole of Sabre Nation is going to sing and sing loudly / proudly.

 

A great effort to all involved ... :worthy:

 

YouTube a video and I guarantee it will go viral in no time.

 

You're volunteering to do a video!? Thanks! :)

Great job PA and everyone involved! Im familiar with writing music, and know that its not easy to embody an era or situation in just a few words. Well chosen lyrics. As I listened, it conjured up a video reel in my mind. Felt like I was re-living all of it.

Thanks for the bump Chz. This was a lot of fun to do. My only hope is that someday I'll get to perform it live, complete with Miley Cyrus twerking all up on me while wearing the new third (actually, that would be the only way I would perform it live).

I can twerk.... Maybe the Sabres will let you do it outside the tent party for their next playoff game. Hopefully the day doesn't conflict with your daughter's senior prom.

Oddly enough, it wasn't the thought of you twerking that invoked the taste of throw-up in my mouth from your post.

Sorry. That's a whole lot of emotion balled into one.

Actually, it was only the thought of it being that long before we get to see another playoff game.

Clarified it for you.
