Matt Hasselbeck’s New Hit Song: “We Want the Ball”

Writing by bettingfool on Friday, 11 of January , 2008 at 5:58 pm

This is too funny. (ESPN, I love you!) Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck’s now infamous catch-phrase [to Green Bay from like four years ago], “We want the ball and we’re going to score” has apparently spawned a new hit song. Yep. It’s true. I stumbled upon these lyrics to “We Want the Ball“, which is sung to the tune of Queen’s mega-hit “We Are the Champions“…

We want the ball
We want the ball
We want the ball … and we’re gonna score!

Adventure seeker on Holmgren Way
Just an alley creeper, back in Green Bay
Hungry passer boasting, with no time for doubt
But if overtime happens, I won’t throw the quick out
It ain’t much I’m asking, Brett heard me say
Gotta score me a touchdown move out of my way
We want the ball, we want the ball, we want the ball, and we’re gonna score!
We want the ball, we want the ball, we want the ball, and we’re gonna score!

Listen all you Seahawks, come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan, gotta win in Titletown
But just give me, huh, what I know is mine
No Shaun Alexander, this is MY time
Ask my sister-in-law, she was on “The View”
When the lights are shinin’, I’m gonna come through
We want the ball, we want the ball, we want the ball, and we’re gonna score!
We want the ball, we want the ball, and I am bald, and we’re gonna score!
