The Lyrics
Usual stuff... girl likes sports, girl tries sports, girl is completely hopeless at sports, girl tries netball, girl is really really good at netball, girl lives happily ever after in a 3 bedroom apartment in london with a man called Nigel and has two children called Betty and Simon...
Ever since she was a young girl
She's tried to play them all
From soccer trough to baseball
She couldn't kick a ball
The coaches didn't like her
Her team-mates used to call
That daft, dumb and blonde kid
Should go play basketball
She stood near the basket
Becomes parted from the team
Failing all the baskets
Almost never seen
She used her intuition
And tried to grab the ball
That daft, dumb and blonde kid
Just smacked into the wall
She's an in-hall hazard
She's got two broken wrists
A break-all hazard
She sure will not be missed
How do you think she duffs it?
(We don't know)
What made her so bad?
Her coach gave his reaction
She heard his hisses and yells
Said she'd take some action
Left that sport as well
Didn't need a replay
Of how she failed them all
Poor daft, dumb and blonde kid
Thought she would try netball
She thought she was
Just bad at everything
But when she started
The team went on to win
She played for queen and country
Was playing at her best
Her team-mates feed balls to her
And watch her do the rest
She's got speedy, fluent movements
It's rarely that she falls
Now that daft, dumb blonde kid
Is queen of all netball
She's tried to play them all
From soccer trough to baseball
She couldn't kick a ball
The coaches didn't like her
Her team-mates used to call
That daft, dumb and blonde kid
Should go play basketball
She stood near the basket
Becomes parted from the team
Failing all the baskets
Almost never seen
She used her intuition
And tried to grab the ball
That daft, dumb and blonde kid
Just smacked into the wall
She's an in-hall hazard
She's got two broken wrists
A break-all hazard
She sure will not be missed
How do you think she duffs it?
(We don't know)
What made her so bad?
Her coach gave his reaction
She heard his hisses and yells
Said she'd take some action
Left that sport as well
Didn't need a replay
Of how she failed them all
Poor daft, dumb and blonde kid
Thought she would try netball
She thought she was
Just bad at everything
But when she started
The team went on to win
She played for queen and country
Was playing at her best
Her team-mates feed balls to her
And watch her do the rest
She's got speedy, fluent movements
It's rarely that she falls
Now that daft, dumb blonde kid
Is queen of all netball

What exactly IS a netball?
It's kind of a variation of basktball... popular with girls
love the way it stuck to the lyrics and to the point
Thanks, SAJA
Great parody... 5's
SOTM--I had to join the "what is netball" team on this one...but it's a fun read...=)
(SOTM) A great piece of work, DAK--told a story, told me something new, funny, heatwarming and original.
Well done, DAK. I like the way the "sure plays a mean pinball" lines are varied.
(SOTM) Good one.
SOTM - I can't believe I KTOS, but lucky for me, I can give you the 5's you deserve.
(SOTM) Rating this by my version of the OS on "Then And Now", pacing seemed a bit off with an extra syllable on many lines, but paced excellent to the MIDI and reading the parody. Funny.
(SOTM) Interesting one. Didn't really know what netball was until I read the comments.
(SOTM) Nice matches to the original lyrics. Reminds me the early 90's Aussie comedy show Full Frontal (starring the characters who would go on to make Kath & Kim) and Magda Szubanski's song 'netball amkes ya wanna tell naughty jokes.' Particularly liked the 'hazard' lines.
SOTM - If I say that I like this, does that make me a male cheerleader then?
I have to agree with Luke; very clever matches here. Especially liked "daft, dumb and blonde".
What Claude said...
(SOTM) DAK shoots, DAK scores!
Debbie Harry has an album called "Deaf, Dumb and Blonde." Your "daft, dumb and blonde" is even better. I also like "Just smacked into the wall." Your story makes me want to find some hardcore blonde netball action on late-night cable. (That's a compliment.)
(SOTM) I thought the humour was a little up and down on this one, but the funny parts were very funny- I'm not entirely sure what this says about me, but I loved "Just smacked into the wall" :-)
(SOTM) Harry Chapin-esque. I could see the video as I read this.
(SOTM) on the internet it is defined as 'like basketball but not as rough'. Excuse me? Basketball is rough? Since when? oh well, 5's.
(SOTM) Good job on a good song...555
SOTM. The best of yours I have read, DAK. Good job
Tried playing netball in a mixed team once...boy, I sucked! Great job, DAK. 555
