Okay, we admit it. We are finally breaking the rules around here for the first time ever . If you recall, we signed (but didn't really, pffft, read it ) an ironclad legal agreement full of nasty allegations and draconian stipulations from The-Powers-That-Be that allowed us to get out of a debilitating self-isolation lockdown for the greater good of all mankind. That legal agreement, we're told, was very clear and specific (and, as it turns out, legally binding, dammit) that we were NOT to write any more parody song lyrics ever again, or face monumental legal complications and rot in hell for all of eternity.
It's been 15 months, folks, since Thunderstruck Makers last bastardized an AC/DC classic, and this time, we risk "it all" to do so. Hope you're happy (sob, sniffle). Send money for bail, and we'll see you this fall.
Fire the Grills (The Coronavirus Edition) ........ sung to "Shoot To Thrill"
All you people, who want a place you can meet
To satisfy your Bison yearn
Don't need a mask on, or to distance 6 feet
You just show up for some fun to burn
We're gonna show you 'round
This storied tailgate town
Where drinks are going down
And we're .. always grinning
Herd keeps winning!
Fire the grills, test your wills
Don't have to clean-up any booze that spills
Lose your cares, take some dares
If the virus tries to stop us, we'll see how it fares .........Ooh yeah!
We're not evil, but we gotta live free
And Fargo tailgate has made a name
It's not illegal, to drink and laugh, you and me
Before we haul our butts into the game!
So let us show you 'round
In gameday West Lot town
It's sure to wipe your frown
Til it's always grinning
Herd keeps winning!
Fire the grills, warm your chills
Heater's in the corner with a tank that's filled
Have some food, lift your mood
Aint no virus gonna stop us with the right attitude
Cause we fired the grills and we're roasting the kill
Our cup's almost empty, need another refill
Fire the grill, drink your fill ............ Yeah!
Bottoms up now, bottoms up!
No not THAT one, that's MY cup!
(Time for a guitar solo, Angus, don't blow it!)
Fire the grills, have some thrills
Herd gonna play, got an Intro that kills
Let's get loud, ain't we proud
Virus had us down, now we won't be cowed
Yeah we fired the grills and drank all the swill
The virus had it's day, now it's all downhill
Cause the ....... season is heeeere!
........... Aint got no feeeear! Yeah!
(Take it back now, y'all)
Yeah
Fire it up boys ...... yeah
We're gonna set this tent up now
And by "we" I mean "YOU", boys
Oh yeah, you know it's true, yeah
You're gonna set this tent up now, yeah yeah
Then you're gonna tear it down later, down, down, down boys, down
See you, see you, see you, see you all next week!
See you, see you, see you week after week yeah!
We're gonna fire the grills!
Booze gonna spill!
Herd gonna kill!
