Hmm, I'm decent with coming up w/ theme songs. In 6th grade, we had a project where he had to take a current event and put it to the tune of a well-known song. I still remember exactly what I came up w/ and would like to share it. The current event took place in I belive it was 1998 when a beam fell down in Yankee stadium and it was closed for 3 days and the Yankees for a first played their game at shea during the day and the mets played at Shea during the night.
To the tune of Gilligan Island's theme:
Oh sit right back on you'll hear a tale
A tale of two cities
It started out in Bronx, New York
Had to do with the Yankees
Had to do with the Yankees
On top of Yankee Stadium
There was a heavy beam
The beam then fell onto the field
Which ruined the game for the team
Which ruined the game for the team
Our tale now moves on to Queens
The Mets' home that is Shea
They let the Yankees play a game there
Which resulted in great day
Which resulted in great day
(can't remember this line though it might have had something to do with Strawberry hitting a home run at shea)
It was a sight to see
But the best part about it all
Was someone there was me
Yeah someone there was me
Great song huh? (Hey, I was 12). Hmm, that reminds me of the next year I had to work with two friends to write a play. We ended up writing a play called "Bat Matt"(yes my friend's name was Matt) and he had to save the Palisades Mall(huge mall where I live that was recently built around that time) from sinking. Great story.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
