Trademark-Infringing Tune Tuesdays VOL X: I Wish it was Christmas Today

Because this is the off season and there's nothing better to do, because there are approximately 4(!) days until football season (that's just a guesstimate, give or take a few), and because it's Tuesday and you need a pick-me-up, I'm presenting the year's final installment of "Trademark-Infringing Tune Tuesdays". Trademark-Infringing Tune Tuesdays is an off-topic post that will feature a band playing a song by a different band each week. Some you may have heard and, hopefully, some will be completely new to you.

For the tenth and final installment of this year's Trademark-Infringing Tune Tuesdays, and in the spirit of the most wonderful time of the year being a mere 4 days away, I present Julian Casablancas's version of Saturday Night Live's "I Wish it was Christmas Today".

I don't care what the students say, football time is near

I don't care what my professors say, football is full of cheer

All I know is the Orange and Blue, are making their way to play for me and you

I wish there was football today

I wish there was football today

I wish there was football today oh oh

I wish there was football today

I wish there was football today oh oh

All I know is that Gene Chizik

Don't care about what ESPN thinks about us

I wish there was, I wish there was, I wish there was, I wish there was

I don't care what the coaches say, Auburn is #1

I don't care what the media says, Auburn won't be outdone

I don't care about anything, but hearing that band play and all the fans sing

I wish there was football today, on that good ol' village on The Plains

I wish there was football today

I wish there was football today oh oh

I wish there was football today

I wish there was football today oh oh

Coach Chiz is bringing a lot of wins

So be sure to be here when the season begins.

I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it!

WAR EAGLE!

And Now, a Moment of Unbridled Optimism and Sunshine Pumpery

Ok, so, imagine this... only for 60 minutes instead of 55.

I'm sitting here watching a rerun of the Iron Bowl on TV. And all I can think is, "We're not gonna do that this year," "Cam's gonna complete that pass this year," "Somebody's going to have to guard the QB on that option read this year," "That double coverage on Darvin is gonna leave Carr or Reed or Zachary or Burns or Lutz or Kitchens or Benton wide open this year," "Our depth means this defense isn't going to be sucking wind in the 4th quarter this year," "That confused looking veteran Bama D is going to be full of first year starters this year".

Optimism level.... up, and steadily climbing. September 4 can't get here soon enough.
