Bradyfan83 - Time for a retirement parody? - Somebody's Baby by Jackson Browne (1 Viewer)

It's been a dozen years since Bradyfan83 has released any new music. Is it time to come out of retirement to honor a retirement in the lead up to the Super Bowl? Maybe we could make this creation a collective effort of FBG nation. While I penned the original, I think this next iteration would benefit from broader authorship. Thoughts? Here's a recipe for what I think would make it work:

1) The song has to be really well-known. It also needs sufficient lyrics to allow for satirical content.
2) The lyrics have to be funny. Every line needs to count. Repeating the lyrics on a chorus works in regular songs, but consider varying them in the satire to allow for more jokes.
3) The jokes can be edgy, but not profane. I think the Giselle break-up, deflate-gate, his diet, should all be on the table.
As with the original "Brady" parody, songs with "Lady" in the title allow for easy replacement with Brady. I'm thinking "Lady" by Styx would be pretty epic. Willing to entertain other song ideas (would prefer to avoid Lady in Red, though). Bottom line is this would have to be written in the next couple days, I can record the vocals in a day, and then someone would have to set it to video using a slide show program (the program I used back in the day has been non-functional for 10 years now).

So let's hear some song/lyric ideas!

Not sure which of the co-writers from back in the day still post here regularly, but tagging a few that remain active: @Ramsay Hunt Experience, @fatguyinalittlecoat, @General Malaise @Bob Sacamano

Lyrics from original parody per request:

Brady
You’re my QB in tight pants and I love you
You’re the starter in my fantasy league for 2

Brady
There’s so many ways I want to catch your passes
Won’t you throw me something softly down the field

Your cleft chin makes me such a fool
Your eyes captivate
And oh, you have good protection
Won’t you just throw me your ball

I’m a tight end but I hope one day to be your wide receiver
How I long for you to hit me in the slot

Forever
Let there be two a days where we can play together
Let me hear you call your audibles in my ear

On the field I see no one else but you
There’s no other player for me
And yes, I want to help you reach completion
You’re rated highest in the league

Brady
Your balls are the only balls I need
In my end zone, is where I want you to be

Cause Brady there’s a touchdown I want you to throw
You’re the QB of my life
You’re my Brady

I really like Lady by Styx because it is anthemic, but there aren't a whole lot of lyrics to work with:

Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I'm sinking
Just touch me and my troubles all fade
Lady, from the moment I saw you
Standing all alone
You gave all the love that I needed
So shy, like a child who has grown
Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear and lovely
You're my lady
Lady, turns me on when I'm lonely
Show me all your charm
Evenings when you lay down beside me
Just take me gently into your arms
You're my lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear and lovely
You're my lady
Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear and lovely
You're my lady

Who's that Brady?
Brady Madonna?

Dude Looks Like a Lady is hilarious, but honestly, it almost has to be

Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) Beyonce

All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies

Now put your hands up
Up in the club, we just broke up
I'm doing my own little thing
Decided to dip and now you wanna trip
Cause another brother noticed me
I'm up on him, he up on me
Don't pay him any attention
Just cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can't be mad at me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, o-ohh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, o-ohh

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Got me tighter in my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup
I can care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn and now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't treat me to the things of the world
I'm not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
Here's a man that makes me then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms, say I'm the one you own
If you don't, you'll be alone
And like a ghost Ill be gone

All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh
 
Is it helpful to drop little snippets that may not be useful, like say "a no trade-y clause"?

Can you twist Bennie and the Jets into something. Seems like that could be fun, lyrically. Needs to have a Bilichick reference too, no?
 
@bigbottom can we get the previous lyrics posted in the first post so that we know what’s already been covered, what could be updated, what may be able to be changed/riffed on?

Lady could work, but I think you'd need to determine the perspective. The rest of the league? An NFL fan who's happy to see Brady go? A devoted fan now losing his idol? Probably not the latter as it wouldn't fit with the sharp digs that make for good satire. ("Brady, you are finally retiring. Thanks, but, please just go.")
 
To the tune of “Lately” by Stevie Wonder:

Lately I have had the strangest feeling
My 8th bowl ring, I can’t seem to find
And the thought of losing to Cleveland’s
On my mind

Far more frequently I miss receivers
While you say, no zip’s come off my ball
When I ask if you just ran the wrong route
You don’t know
Never know

Oh I’m a man of many wishes
I blame the kicker when he misses
But what I really feel
Flat balls won’t let me hide
Cause I don’t have time to slide
My o-line just lets me die


Etc…
 
You’re An Old Lady(Brady) by Sonny Williamson

Well, I got somethin' to tell ya
Baby, you can't do
You can't love me
And some other man, too

'Cause you's a old lady
Know you's a old lady
Now, you's a old lady
Babe, an you don't know how you do

Well, I give you my money
You left me cold in hand
You're takin' my money
An give it to your other man

But you's a old lady
Know you's a old lady
Know you's a old lady
You don't know exactly how you do

'Well, sing it Maceo'

Now, you promised me a car
You know, an a diamond ring
You bought my clothes
You couldn't understand

'Cause you was a old lady
Know you was a old lady
You was a old lady
You didn't know exactly how do you do

You said, when you look at my face
You love me mo' an mo'
I could love you, too
But I just won't tell you, so

'Cause you's a old lady
'Cause you's a old lady
Know you's a old lady
And you don't know exactly how you do
Well, you put out my dress, I bought you
You put off my stockin's, too
You's so funny, I can no wonder
You don't know exactly how to do

'Cause you's a old lady
Know you's a old lady
Know you's a old lady
You don't know exactly how you do

Now, an I got some'in to tell ya
Know soon, you 'llow me a-change
I don't want you, find yourself another man

'Cause you's a old lady
'Cause you's a old lady
Know you's a old lady
You don't know exactly how to do

I don’t care what anyone says, She’s a Lady by Tom Jones is a jam:

Well, she's all you'd ever want
She's the kind they'd like to flaunt
and take to dinner
Well she always knows her place
She's got style, she's got grace,
she's a winner

She's a lady
Whoa, whoa, whoa she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine

Well, she's never in the way
Always something nice to say
oh what a blessing
I can leave her on her own
Knowing she's okay alone
and there's no messing
She's a lady

Whoa, whoa, whoa she's a lady
Talkin' about that little lady
And the lady is mine

Oh, she never asks for very much and I don't refuse her
Always treat her with respect, I never would abuse her
What she's got is hard to find, and I don't wanna lose her

Help me build a mountain from my little pile of clay
Hey, hey, hey

Well, she knows what I'm about
She can take what I dish out
and that's not easy
Well, she knows me through and through
And she knows just what to do
and how to please me

She's a lady
Whoa, whoa, whoa she's a lady (na, na, na, na)
Talkin' about that little lady (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And the lady is mine

Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's a lady (la-la-la-la-la)
Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady (la-la-la-la-la)
Listen to me people, she's a lady (la-la-la-la-la)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, she's a lady
Whoa, whoa, whoa, she's a lady (la-la-la-la-la)
Talkin' about the little lady (she's a lady la-la-la-la-la)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa she's a lady (la-la-la-la-la)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she's a lady (la-la-la-la-la)
Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady
I can't live without my little lady
Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady
 
I'll try another path... how about:

I like this idea a lot. And I can sing the hell out of this one. Some of the others will be really difficult.

You can't belt out "Hit Me Brady One More Time"? Channel your inner Britney!

I actually thought singing this from the perspective of his receivers would be cool...

This is an important point. At the outset, it’s worth noting that bradyfan83 is, in fact, a huge fan of Brady. So I do think a song that hates on him runs counter to his persona. But the way you can thread the needle is to have a love song (or song of devotion) that nevertheless references all those things perhaps in a back handed way. Like he’s so fine, even if he does weigh less than he did in middle school.

I’m trying not to fixate too much on Somebody’s Brady to the exclusion of other great ideas, but I love the “he’s so fine” tag.

A bit obscure but how about Sentimental Brady
 
I think you're on the right track with Lady by Styx. I think it's the perfect follow-up to the original as it has just the right amount of 70s yacht-rock cheese and creates a landscape to interject just a skosh amount of subliminal homosexuality. And selfishly, I want to hear you belt this one out.

If you do go this route, the video will have to include Brady running the 40 at the combine.

The song kind of writes itself, though. I mean, the first stanza could come from the point of view of his center.

Brady, when you're behind me I'm smiling
Give me......all your glove
Your hands build me up when I'm hiking
Just touch me like you're here to invade
Brady, from the moment I saw you {video goes to Brady in the white T tucked in, running a 40 with the speed of a glacier}
Running....allalalalalalaallll alone
You gave all the love that I needed
So spry, can you throw me your bone

Brady Come Back

Baby Come Back - Player (with lyrics)

Funky perfection in the form of 'Baby Come Back' brought to us by the great band Player.This song was originally released in 1977.Thanks for watching and enjoy!
www.youtube.com www.youtube.com
 
A few areas that could be covered:

TB12
Teaching Gronk the playbook
AB staying at his house
Referencing the teams that really need him to stay, 9ers, Raiders or whatever
Throwing the Lombardi
Something about 50 being the new 40

I could see this one of two way though:

1) Brady lover that is mournful/heartbroken that Brady is retiring and sings his praises or

2) Scorned lover that is spitefully looking to move on to another QB and trying to rub it in Brady’s face despite still obviously carrying a torch

Edit: or maybe a 3rd way; begging him to not retire.

Could see that in the vein of Justin Beiber’s Baby.

Brady, Brady, Brady oh,
Like Brady Brady Brady no,
Like Brady, Brady, Brady oh,
Always knew you’d enshrine, enshrine

I'm probably shouting into the void here, but the parody doesn't have to be a song with a title with a word that rhymes with Brady. I'd be inclined to adapt something like Alone Again Naturally. Just a song about him taking up a bunch of goofy hobbies so he doesn't have to spend time with his annoying kids.
