Lyrics

If I could play each game, I think I'd pass
'Cause Pop says that's how it ought to be
Maybe I'll walk eight steps, then dunk the ball
and not get called for travelling at all....
Making up new rules, is so easy
We can't be fired
Save it up for June, why should we play
when we're all tired?
Breaking all of the rules that's what they do best
So rest, NBA Stars, get some rest.....
Sometimes
All we need's a Commish who can breathe
and who's living
Why did old David Stern have to leave
he would punish you
All we need's a Commish who could breathe

By Joe Aro
Parody of "THE AIR THAT I BREATHE" by THE HOLLIES

    This one is super-smart, wonderful tune, and fantastic (as ever) vocal. They better love it.

    I had to look it up... No! Radiohead did not get away with it. They were sued and lost. Can't believe I never knew that before.

    I'm surprised we haven't heard any commissioner songs on the air (that I can remember hearing)... This one should break that open immediately. Amazing vocal on this one. Also: During that first verse I was like, did Radiohead rip these guys off and get away with it?
