Lyrics

When your home teams disappoint, it's great to know you can turn to Kjersten to sing like this and make your frustrations sounds so great. Thanks, as ever, KJ! [And, yeah, I wrote this before the Nats won 5 in a row....but you get the picture....]

White Rabbit

One hit made him woozy
And the next one made him fall
And then when the defense crushed him
That’s when he coughed up the ball
Goodbye Griffin
You no longer enthrall

And so now we turn to Cousins,
The team’s his for the long haul
That’s ‘cause today’s coach, one Jay Gruden
Has been told he makes the call
Don’t ask Danny,
‘bout some grand cabal

Now the guys on the em’rald chessboard
Can’t seem to hit, can’t seem to throw
And their elegiac symmetry
Yeah it hits a season low
Go ask Barry
Why do they blow?

When both teams appear hopeless
And your interest’s fallen dead
Don’t forget guys skating backwards
Taking high sticks to the head
Remember what Leonsis said
Rock the red
Rock the red

    Thanks for all the kind words! I must admit that I did not know the original but I had a lot of fun with John's version. I agree John's lyrics here are brilliant. It's always a pleasure, John!

    TK hates the song, so maybe it didn't get a real shot. Plus it's on the long side. None of that changes how great a job KJ did (as usual!)

    I can't believe this didn't make it on air....Brilliant from top to bottom. I adored Grace Slick, but KJ's right there.

    oh man...i hate the original but this version is fantastic. essentially you've summed up in 2 minutes what the show will take 4+ months to explicate. and i think everyone feels this way about KJ. i really feel bad for DC sports fans.

    Now this is a real song involving a Grace Slick band. I'm not even gonna front - I had to look up a word in this one and I didn't even understand half the words in the actual definition. Creatively and intellectually amazing.

    Grace Slick looks like Mr. Snuffalupagus next to the elfin Kjerstin Ohnstad, but our Kj can stand toe-to-toe with anyone. Sounds great, you two! Consider my head fed.
