Oh Frenchy

PrintThe rumors are true. After more than a couple adult sodas last night at the blue and orange open mic, I summoned the liquid courage to sing the following tune about Jeff Francoeur. It's sung to the tune of "Mandy" by Barry Manilow. It's either genius or terribly, terribly embarrassing. To make matters worse, there's video coming, too. It will be posted this evening.
Oh Frenchy
Fans remember Mets history
rainin’ down as cold as ice
shadows of a team
collapses in September
cryin’ in the night
The night goes into
Mornin’, just another loss,
No Happy people in Queens,
Lookin’ in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made us, oh Frenchy
Well, you came and you slugged a plenty
When we traded for you, oh Frenchy
Well you’re slumping and you’re hitting .220,
And we need you today, oh Frenchy!
and walking away from the plate
after reaching once again and swinging very late
The tears are in my mind
For Carter we are pining, oh Frenchy
Well, you came and you hit the ball a mile
When we traded for you, oh Frenchy
Well now you suck and where is your smile
And we need it today, oh Frenchy!
I face the mornin'
Cryin' on a breeze
The pain is callin', oh Frenchy..
Well, you came and you slugged without stopping
When we traded for you, oh Frenchy
And we need you today, oh Frenchy!

It's terribly, terribly embarrassing
That you, who by all accounts is a man, can sing to the tune of a Barry Manilow song from memory. However, this is still genius. Well done.
I will not forgive you for making me find that on youtube just so I could figure out how this goes.
You can't spell "Manilow"
without “Man”. Respect the legend.

haha
I had to download the song and listened to it on my ipod as I sung… but it’s a pretty classic/easy to remember tune. Not that I am a huge Manilow fan…
I was puzzled at first
Untill I realized, I was confusing this song with Brandy(your’e a Fine Girl) by the band Looking Glass.
I smell an all-Francoeur parody contest!

Well, no need for me to post this now.
Although the sound did come out pretty good on this one.
May you be locked in a battle of wits against Jerry Manuel.
