The Lyrics
A hockey love song during the strike...
Where have all the players gone?
Where are the Devils fans?
Where's the puck-wise centerman
In skin-tight hockey pants?
Isn't there a white Hat to break out through the seam?
Late at night, he shoots and he scores, and I'm swooning in my dreams!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the night!
He's gotta shoot high
And he's gotta shoot wide
And he's gotta switch lines on the fly
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the week!
I've got to get checked
Cause I know I'd be hooked
If he'd spend just two minutes with me!
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Dreaming of a power play
With number sixteen in the crease!
Racing down the left wing, crowd stomping to the beat
It's gonna take an hockey star to sweep me off my feet!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the night!
He's going to score
By the end of this tune
And before we eat all of his fries!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the morning light!
Oh I wish he could be
On a line just with me
And he wouldn't be called for offsides!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the night...
*instrumental break*
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the night!
He's gotta shoot high
And he's gotta shoot wide
And he's gotta switch lines on the fly
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the week!
I've got to get checked
Cause I know I'd be hooked
If he'd spend just two minutes with me!
Where are the Devils fans?
Where's the puck-wise centerman
In skin-tight hockey pants?
Isn't there a white Hat to break out through the seam?
Late at night, he shoots and he scores, and I'm swooning in my dreams!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the night!
He's gotta shoot high
And he's gotta shoot wide
And he's gotta switch lines on the fly
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the week!
I've got to get checked
Cause I know I'd be hooked
If he'd spend just two minutes with me!
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Dreaming of a power play
With number sixteen in the crease!
Racing down the left wing, crowd stomping to the beat
It's gonna take an hockey star to sweep me off my feet!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the night!
He's going to score
By the end of this tune
And before we eat all of his fries!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the morning light!
Oh I wish he could be
On a line just with me
And he wouldn't be called for offsides!
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the night...
*instrumental break*
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the night!
He's gotta shoot high
And he's gotta shoot wide
And he's gotta switch lines on the fly
I need a hero!
I'm holding out for some hockey till the end of the week!
I've got to get checked
Cause I know I'd be hooked
If he'd spend just two minutes with me!

"Goalie" and me are with you on this one.
Are you Canadian by any chance Jeff? a bit of a break from the Red Sox sport parodies - DKT sport, but DID KTOS - and a good job done of it - 555
Not Canadian, but I'm a huge hockey fan (I'm in a roller league, I play pickup ice hockey now and then, and love to watch...well, when there's a league to watch).
Good Lord, you're fantastic at this parody thing...
Thank you...this is actually a re-tread. I wrote it years ago and it's posted on my website as Holding Out For A Hatley...a song about a guy on my roller hockey team, and a girl with a crush on him. I changed it up last week to make it understandable to the general public (so I don't get millions of "What the heck is a Hatley"'s)
(SB) Wow, an entire parody about the hockey strike and you didn't use the term "puckheads" once. Enjoyed!
(Summertime) Puck everlasting!
(Summertime) Should've recognised the song from Shrek 2...oh, and you missed a bit. And it's too bad I'm in the same league as Stuart McArthur as DK the sport. I'm actually not much of a sport guy (SHOCK, HORROR!). Nice parody, anyway.
I too am not a sports guy, but who gives a puck? This song was cool, litterly!!!
(SB) Yeah, I agree with Pieman in that I think you left a bridge out, but nice work anyway.
(SB) A seasonal fantasy from the Zamboni of your mind!
Yes, I forgot to post a sign that the bridge is out. =(
I wish I knew enough about hockey to fully appreciate this. I'll go sit out in the penalty box now....
(SB) well, at least I've learnt enough to know that you're not Canadian now, Jeff, going by my last comment, but sadly hockey is still a complete mystery to me - but lol on all the puck puns everyone :-)
