The Lyrics
For my "mini" return (you'll get the pun later), I wrote a song about my disc golfing skills. Disc golf is like regular golf except you use a frisbee instead of a ball and a club. It's a lot cheaper, trust me. I decided to use "I Can't Dance" by Genesis to format my frustrations. (BTW, the mini discs are also used at mini courses, that explains the pun). Glad to be back, hope you didn't miss me.
Sixth hole, twenty down
Lost Innova discs going out of bounds
Oughta give this round a shake
Cause everything I toss ends up in the lake
I can't drive, I can't putt
Only thing about me are the discs I strut
I can't drive, I can't play
Just take my discs and throw them the hell away!
My disc's near the pin
But I missed a gimme, damn, it happened again
The sweat's pouring down off of my shirt
I should just quit and went back to work
Cause I can't drive, I can't putt
The only things about me are the discs I strut
I can't drive, I can't play
Just take my discs and throw them the hell away!
And checkin' my feet are in sync
Wonder what they all really think,
"Does this kid just really stink?"
Pros all trying to give me some tips
How to grip it right, how to move my hips
The only thing I need now is some luck
But I hit a tree, hey, what the huck!
I can't drive, I can't putt
The only thing about me are the discs I strut
I can't drive, I can't play
Just take my discs and give them the hell away!
Lost Innova discs going out of bounds
Oughta give this round a shake
Cause everything I toss ends up in the lake
I can't drive, I can't putt
Only thing about me are the discs I strut
I can't drive, I can't play
Just take my discs and throw them the hell away!
My disc's near the pin
But I missed a gimme, damn, it happened again
The sweat's pouring down off of my shirt
I should just quit and went back to work
Cause I can't drive, I can't putt
The only things about me are the discs I strut
I can't drive, I can't play
Just take my discs and throw them the hell away!
And checkin' my feet are in sync
Wonder what they all really think,
"Does this kid just really stink?"
Pros all trying to give me some tips
How to grip it right, how to move my hips
The only thing I need now is some luck

The only thing about me are the discs I strut
I can't drive, I can't play
Just take my discs and give them the hell away!
A "huck" is a type of disc golf shot, but if you want to learn how to throw it, do me a favor: Ask somebody else! Written 6/25/08 by Andrew D. Lacroix.

I was gonna say, "Wish I'd thought of this one -- wait a minute, I did" -- except that was about driving a car. This was a par-6, so you birdied it with your 5.
