Got My Game On
a mix for Neal McDonough
~*~ A few notes ~*~
-I blame
moony_blues.
-No, really. She linked me to the video for Trace's I Got My Game On and I watched it. Then I thought of Jay Hamilton.
-It's kinda difficult to find a track for each of Neal's guys. Some are a little more fitting than others (re: Shurman). I also haven't seen all his stuff, such as Boomtown. I guessed there...
-White & Nerdy is intended with nothing but love for the aDORKablness of Neal. Seriously, if you've seen the bowling video, know of his Star Trek obsession and have seen Just Shoot Me or Angels in the Outfield........
-I love this man. And I love Ruve. Because she has to put up with him.
- YouTube links to follow, at a later date.
Jay Hamilton (Walking Tall) - I Got My Game On (Trace Adkins)
Put on my black silk shirt, my Armani suit
My custom-made hat, my alligator boots
Slip my rings on my fingers, my new shades
Oh, I got my game on
Stephen Connor (Medical Investigation) - A Good Man (Emerson Drive)
My dreams aren’t that complicated
I wanna be the one, when all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
And always helped someone in trouble
Jack Skinner (The Guardian) - I'll Make a Man Out of You (Donny Osmond)
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch I ever met
But you can bet, before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man out of you
Lt. Estridge (The Hitcher) - I Want to Die a Beautiful Death (Everclear)
and Frank and Hawk and Daniel and Rick and Reich
Everybody, they just want to have a good time
Everybody, they just want to forget
Everybody wants to feel like they did when the sky looked good and the world was perfect
I don't care, I just want to die pretty
Max Archer (Traitor) - In My Heaven (Blake Shelton)
In my heaven, we hurt no one
No lying, crying, or dying young
No one's lonely, no one's scared
And anyone is welcome there
Lt. Hawk (Star Trek: First Contact) - Space Cowboy ('N Sync and Left-Eye)
So leave your doubts and your fears behind
Don't be afraid at all, 'cause up in outer space there's no gravity to fall
Put your mind and your body to the test
'cause up in outer space it's like the wild wild west
Dave Williams (Desperate Housewives) - Loco to Stay Sane (Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers)
More I dig in, the deeper the hole
Come off the rails when I get on a roll
Hangman’s tyin’ a noose on the line
Keep a couple screws loose, you’ll be fine
David McNorris (Boomtown) - I Finally Passed the Bar (Michael Peterson and Travis Tritt)
Here's to me, I finally passed the bar
As I drove by that ol' honky tonk, still tuggin at my heart
I never dreamed that neon night school would ever be so hard
I can't believe at last: I finally passed the bar
Neal and Ruve - One and Only One (Paul Brandt)
I thought love at first sight was a fate for someone else
And you'd never catch me fallin' that fast myself
But I didn't even need two seconds alone with you
All it took was one and only one
Ned Dwyer (They Call Him Sasquatch) - Wooly Bully (Sam the Sham & the Pharaos)
Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw
...
Hatty told Matty, let's don't take no chance
Let's not be L-seven, come and learn to dance
Neal - White & Nerdy (Weird Al Yankovic)
I'm nerdy in the extreme; whiter than sour cream
I was in AV club and glee club and even the chess team
Only question I ever thought was hard was "Do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?"
Spend every weekend at the Renaissance Fair; got my name on my underwear
Wyatt Cain (Tin Man) - Bounce (Bon Jovi)
Kicked around, cut, stitched and scarred
I'll take the hit but not the fall
I know no fear, still standing tall
You can call it karma, call it luck
Buck Compton (Band of Brothers) - Here's to Rock and Roll (Shurman)
I came in with the first brigade
Droppin' from an airplane; parachutes fillin' up the sky
I can't go to a liquor store, but they send me off to war
I guess I'm old enough to die
Whitt Bass (Angels in the Outfield) - Dang, Fetch, Oh My Heck (Everclean)
If my football team is losing, if a brick falls on my head
If you go, "BOO!" and you catch me unawares
My reaction will display a certain G-rated tone
So as to not offend the man upstairs
Craig Noodleman (Just Shoot Me) - In the Navy (Village People)
If you like adventure
Don't you wait to enter
The recruiting office fast
Don't you hesitate
Frank Gordon (Timeline) - Back in Time (Huey Lewis and the News)
Tell me Doctor, where are we going this time?
Is this the fifties? Or Nineteen ninety-nine?
...
Don't judge your future on a roll of the dice
Better remember: lighting never strikes twice
Rick (Brothers Three: An American Gothic) - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (The Osmonds)
So on we go, his welfare is my concern
No better is he to bare, we'll get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
