One of the most iconic songs in metal history. Randy Rhodes (R.I.P.) was a beast guitar player.
It's spelled R-h-o-a-d-s, NOT Rhodes.
Randy Rhoads!!!
Rip Randy Rhoades
Randy has been great 👍
@@whatchutalkinboutcome on man, cut the guy some slack.
I love when people make lyric videos but cant spell. ABORED LOL
Seeing that more and more all the time
So common anymore. Ugh. And somehow it’s ok.
The lost art of spelling and punctuation
but that's how it GO's.... not Goes... LOL that's as far as I've gotten and I'm pretty sure there's more to come... so sad. OMG... the lack of punctuation and all the misspelling... what are kids learning in school these days? Obviously not how to spell and use proper punctuation.
Precahers
We miss you Randy. You were a true guitar God.
fuck yes
One of the best rock songs ever. With one greatest guitarists that ever played a guitar. Rest In Paradise Randy Rhoads. 🎸
I remember when this came out. We were on the school bus. I was 14. We were immediately blown away by the guitar. Ozzy's career was just about as low as it could get and then he met Randy Rhoads. Randy's guitar riff drives the song..it sounds like a a galloping train and the solos sound like they are coming out of a tunnel. Get the mental picture. Tragically, Randy was killed in a small airplane accident at age 25 back in 1982. Another good one to react to is Ozzy Diary of a Madman.....or just about any song on the two Randy Rhoads albums.
OZZY gets credit for his lyrics, but only from the people who are paying attention. That’s been “the problem” for years. People dismiss Rock because it’s not music they like. That’s why us original fans bristle at the prejudice and sheer ignorance of it.
Those people take zero time to actually understand where the artist is coming from.
Case in point is War Pigs. Probably the best anti-war song ever written. But because it sounds so heavy and he mentions Satan laughing and spreading his wings, that’s all they think the song is about. That’s the only part they hear. Cherry picking that and taking it totally out of context. Oh no! It’s a Devil worship song! OZZY even had to write a song about that as a rebuttal! Rock and Roll Rebel.
Amen
Ozzy almost never writes the lyrics. In Black Sabbath, bassist geezer Butler wrote 90% of the lyrics, and in the first 4-5 solo albums it was bassist Bob Daisley.
I'm a true rock, heavy metal fan. Nothing compares in my opinion.
You can't tell some people anything. If they don't know, it just makes me laugh at this point. Except when they say stupid stuff like, Ozzy? He was with Judas Priest right? Then I go psycho on them. LOL!
@@robrichardson7079, ok, I was generalising about the the whole band under his name.
"Blizzard of Ozz" is my favorite solo Ozzy record. So many hits on that one!
The legendary Randy Rhoads on guitar. Ozzy alway surround himself with the best musicians. Try Mr. Crowley or Revelation Mother Earth. Cheers!
It's amazing how his persona as the prince of darkness overshadows his lyrics. Alot of songs he's written are this way. All that gets remembered is his stage antics.
That's why I loved that tv show they did. I saw him in a totally different light when they showed him watching and being fascinated by documentaries on cable.
Kind of the same thing with Alice Cooper... people kind of get lost in his stage persona and miss the genius of his lyrics.
Written (mostly) by Bob Daisley. With the late, great Randy Rhoades. That opening guitar actually sounds like a train on the tracks. That's the genius of Randy Rhoads.
Ozzy is the MAN!!!!! His lyrics are always deeper than what those that just “hear” it think, You’ve got to “LISTEN” to his words!! He’s been my fav since I was 13-14, I’m now 53, and lucky enough to have seen him Live 3 times!!! Long Live Ozzy Osbourne!!!! 🔥🔥💜💜🤘🤘😎
I was listening to “No More Tears” when you announced you were doing this one. I kind of pay attention to the words, but the instrumentation on it is just so damn good, that I don’t analyze it.
Don’t know if you’ve listened to songs like Black Sabbath “War Pigs” and several others of their very early songs kind of give you a first view of Ozzy and many people of our era’s POV of the world at the time. A lot of Ozzy’s music comes from that time and has nothing to do with hatred….except for the people behind turning the gears of the world.
\\m// CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE! \\m// Heaviest hippy song ever and still all too relevant.
Geezer Butler, the bassist for Sabbath, wrote all those lyrics.
Thats why OZZY stands up in a different place in music... Greatest! I love Ozzy and his passion for music...thanks god to give us Ozzy!
Ps. Hail to Randy which was such an amazing guitarrist and person, people can die, but their music will live forever.
This album saved my life ... Mad props to everyone involved with this record
Same.
Ahhh , the genious of Randy Rhoads. What a magical talent. May he Rest In Peace.
Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath were a very political group, they always made social commentary in their songs and and despite the Is the fact that they were named Black Sabbath, they had love as a major theme through their music. Perhaps you should do some Sabbath lyric videos. This particular song was written about the crazy Geopolitical state of the world ie.. Soviet Union vs. The US, nuclear weapons, etc.
oh yeah the song hits very different when you actually go back and listen while actually reading the lyrics and understanding their meaning.
Those first two Ozzy albums are on the same level of Epic as early Sabbath. You MUST get them. Give all of the credit to Randy or Ozzy or whomever.......the ripples made by Ozzy's first couple of solo albums just kept going and going and going........even now, the production still sounds amazing and not at all dated. Give BIG credit to Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, and Don Airey.
I remember when *Tribute* came out, and they made a video for "Crazy Train," it featured old footage of Randy. It was just a few seconds, and it was in slo-mo, but it was INSANE how amazing it was, TO US, to actually SEE the legend Randy Rhoads moving and playing. It's impossible to overstate, in the era of youtube and streaming video of everything that's ever happened in human history, just how crazy cool it was to see even crappy video of him.
I can't think of any other artist whose life was cut short JUST as they were becoming such a monster of a legend, to the point where their untimely death only increased their stature. Buddy Holly? Maybe. But he was actually riding pretty high on his well-earned reputation for a short time before the plane crash. Can anyone think of anyone else? I could be wrong, so opinions are welcome.......
Love it when the best verse is saved til last:
"Heirs of the Cold War, that's what we've become; inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb; crazy, I just cannot bear; I'm living with something that just isn't fair"
Eddie Guerrero wrestled in Japan as Black Tiger in the early 90s. Rey Mysterio's first ring name was Colibri, which in Spanish means hummingbird. Rey was trained by his uncle, who went by the name Rey Misterio Sr
Listen to Diary of a Madman and S.A.T.O. (Sail across the Ocean) from the Diary of a Madman album. Phenomenal guitar work by Randy Rhoads. He started in Quiet Riot before they had their breakthrough. S.A.T.O. were written by Bob Daisley. His bass are so great on this song
Suicide Solution, Over the Mountain and Flying High Again are some of Ozzy’a solo songs that I’d like to see you guys react to whenever y’all get the chance. Some straight bangers🔥🔥🔥
Great suggestions.
Randy ... fuck I miss that guy. Absolute genius. Played every single part of that guitar as if is an extension of himself. And the complexity of his phrasing and melodies is so special. One of the truly greatest talents to ever pick up the instrument. In all due respect to the hosts praising Ozzy (and he is praise worthy), you just listened to one of the greatest guitar players ever....truly ever.
"Shaaaron!!! Im price of fucking darkness!! No bubbles!!" This song is amazing, ozzy and black sabbath have so many good song. Grew up lissening to black sabbath and iron maiden, my dad was a big fan of both great reaction guys
Check out "Jack and Ozzy World Detour Episode: Iron Mountain" Ozzy hears Randy Rhodes Isolated Crazy Train Solo
Crazy... But that's how it goes.
Most relatable lyric honestly you can hear.
Ya know, if you're crazy.
Also Ozzy's lyrics have always been very Beatles. Upbeat, positive, jimmyed up thoughts, clever takes? He's always surrounded himself by the best the industry had to offer too. Randy Rhodes, Zak Wyld, an honestly dozens more.
I have to say this song means more today than back in the day. His whole start was in black Sabbath, and he only became their singer because, only singer to show up at additions with his own PA system. It sounds a little different because this was original guitarist.
Great song 🤘❤️ Mr.Crowley!!! That's the next one, believe me!!!
When you saw "War Pigs", you saw the live version in which they sang the ORIGINAL version and not the album version. Please check out the lyric video for the album version! It has a LOT of meaning also. Crazy Train was written by Ozzy, Bob Daisly-bass player, and the late great Randy Rhodes- one of the greatest guitarists that has ever lived.
Oh yeah..love Ozzy..his music is the kind that you never get tired of..even the old black sabbath songs are something that new listeners can enjoy.....and rock out to ...and the message behind the song is incredible ❤👍
Ozzy once stated that he prefers bassists to write his songs, and I quote; "They've only got four strings to play, so they've got more time on their hands!"
Check out 'Mama I'm Coming Home' written for Ozzy by, the one and only, Lemmy 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love this song. They play this as the walkout anthem for Aston Villa FC home games, ‘cause y’know, Ozzy is from Birmingham and Villa are the biggest club in Birmingham 😉
Great reaction, as always.
A classic for sure! Keep on rockin in the free world guys!
Devildriver - The Mountain
Unearth - Endless
Yep, back in the day...way back into my day (born in '71) which makes this song 40 years old already!!! Damn - time just keeps flyin' on by y'all ;-)
"Blizzard of Ozz" and "Diary of a Madman" were his first two solo albums from 1980 and 81. So many great songs to react too.
It is something Ozzy would say. All of his songs have a deep message. ❤
🦋 Epic Day For some 422 yr old Ozzy! 😂🤣 You Guys crack me up! This Definitely Brought
on some old Memories. Back in the 90's My Ex Husband & His band would practice In our House on the weekends. At the time I had a 2 yr old & a newborn. The only thing that could put them to sleep was the guys playing Ozzy's "Goodbye To Romance" I had to memorize the song to sing it to them at night. When the band wasn't practicing. And To this day I still love that song. Even after countless nights of singing it as a lullaby. "Dreamer" & "See You on the Other Side" is also top on my list of Ozzy Favorite's. There's so many Great Hits Just like Crazy Train. Awesome Reaction to this Classic Guys! RIP Randy Roads May The Music Forever Keep Your Legacy Alive Never To Be Forgotten!
🦋I Read On A Ozzy Fan Site that The song is about the Cold War and the fear of annihilation that existed during this period. Other examples in the song are: "The media sells it and you live the role" referring that political leaders manipulate the thoughts and feelings of the masses for their own greedy and destructive purposes. The mass media then spread these lies, creating mass hysteria. Not Sure How True But It Does Seem Plausible Considering the Lyrics. 🤷
I think it’s very true. A lot of families during that era owned fall out shelters. Even when I was going thru elementary school, we had to learn what to do during an air raid. None of which would’ve helped us if it were to actually happen. But it was pretty serious business.
There are a lot of "train" themed songs going back to the old southern blues music. They would usually do a chugging rhythm with the harmonica or guitar. Try listening to Train Kept Rolling by the Yardbirds. Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck on guitar
Another good one is "Train Train" by Blackfoot
My guys, you have to listen to "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath (widely considered to be the very first heavy metal hit song ever). Ozzy's been deep in his lyrics since the Vietnam War was still on.
My interpretation of the lyrics: "You can call me crazy, but from my point of view the rest of the world is crazy. Wars, famines, etc. That's what's really crazy. Or maybe I'm crazy for seeing that way."
Love the insights today! Details like that train rhythm are why we call these folks artists. There are old country and blues songs that use a train rhythm, and you know Ozzy and them were familiar with that stuff and figured out how to make it work for their sound.
Love the reaction. The lyric video was terrible though. All Abored 😂
More Ozzy please! Or Black Sabbath: Children Of The Grave 🪦
RIP Randy Rhodes 🤟
Mind. Blown. I've sang every word of that song since I was a kid, but not once did I ever hear it the way I read it! That's actually pretty damn deep.
Thanks for reacting to this amazing song. Saw them live back in the days…
"To learn how to love and forget how to hate" isn't Ozzy??? DUDES!!! You need to spend more time listening to Black Sabbath or listen more closely because they have several songs that are love/peace not hate/war, War Pigs, Children of the Grave, Into the Void, Symptom of the Universe just to name a few. You should check them out or revisit them if you already have b/c you missed a thing or two. Great reaction though the song is also an anti-nukes/Cold War with the USSR (as it was called then) and we should love each other and forget how to hate and live in peace not warring with each other like the politicians want us to do and the media is right there egging the hate on. It was true in the 1980's but it's even more true now only this time, instead of hating another country, they're trying to make us hate each other. They were heavy metal to the bone but there still was a heavy "make love not war" theme throughout their music.
Mysterio wrestled as Colibri, or the humming bird, before he became Rey Mysterio/Misterio Jr. I distinctly remember Mike Tenay saying this on an episode of Nitro some time after Misterio debuted. He inherited the Misterio gimmick from his uncle, the original Rey Misterio Sr., sometime between 89-91.
Since you finally got around to Crazy Train, check out Chelsea Wolfe's cover she did with Gwarsenio Hall a year or so ago.
As for other Ozzy songs, check out Road to Nowhere, Shot in the Dark, See You on the Other Side, Over the Mountain, Mr. Crowley, and Close My Eyes forever which he did with Lita Ford. Hell check out some Lita Ford as well. Kiss Me Deadly is a good start.
Finally, there's a live version somewhere on UA-cam of Crazy Train where Ozzy seems almost mesmerized by Randy Rhoades's skills as a guitarist. You can clearly see he had great admiration for Randy.
I am not sure how many comments you guys get to on any given video, but you mentioned that people should suggest songs for you to react to, so here are 3 songs that you might like. Van Halen's "Don't Tell Me What Love Can Do", it is with Sammy Hagar, not David Lee Roth, (personally I think everything got better when Sammy was the lead singer)...2nd and 3rd songs would be "Did My Time", or "Here To Stay"..both are by Korn. Hopefully you get a chance to react to one of these sometime, but even if you don't choose to do a reaction video on any of them, you will take the time on your own to give a listen. Thanks for the great videos so far!
You guys constantly crack me up while still having interesting things to say about the music. Thanks for all you do!
As an aside, I find it almost painful that someone would put in the effort to create a lyric video and not do even the barest amount of proofreading. I literally want to grab a pen and mark up my screen when they misspell the second word of the song... and it just gets worse from there.
Thanks for being here with us
i'm glad the lyrics really stood out to you. Ozzy went solo from Black Sabbath in this era where all metal was considered "Satanic" and he sort of played that up in his image, but the second you actually look at the lyrics, he was never writing about that stuff.
He was writing about society, war, romance, love.
He's a weird dude, but there's a reason he lasted and so many other didn't
he wasn't shallow and writing about demons and nonsense. he wrote about life, about hypocrisy, about his own failures, about things that confused him
He did what all genuine artists did, he was exploring the world and trying to make sense of it with his art.
but he was also a good business man (or rather his wife was), and a solid song writer, he was writing about heavy things a lot of the time, but they were always bangers. you could turn your brain off and just jam out, but if you wanted to actually explore some deeper themes, unlike a million other clones, they were there
From day one, Black Sabbath were all about peace and love, they were hippies. Ozzy's speaking voice is because of the years of singing and drugs and alcohol, on top of the Brummie accent. Most of his songs he contributed some parts or more or less to, always had friends and band members doing the polish on the lyrics, but the melodies he sang were 100% Ozzy, even Sabbath said that he always had an ear for the perfect melody to his songs.
Eddie Guerrero was Black Tiger in Japan, Feuding with Tiger Mask.
If you've never heard them or actually really listened to the lyrics, definitely War Pigs and Children of the Grave are ones to check out.
Just a classic from Ozzy, great reaction/review! Another great from Oz is No More Tears!
Yo Smokey you never cease to amaze me for God's sake you never cease to amaze me my man I'm Smoky view Behringer never cease to amaze me either because your knowledge of the basics as well anyways looking forward to this yeah but who hasn't
Great Ozzy songs to check out are Perry Mason, Thunder Underground, Diary of a Madman, Bark at the Moon and No More Tears. Gotta get at least a couple of those gems. Great video again guys.
NO OZZY DOESN'T WRITE MOST OF HIS LYRICS. BUT HE DOES TAKE CREDIT FOR A LOT OF THEM. And just like OZZY doesn't get enough props for vocals RANDY RHOADS does NOT get the credit he deserves for his guitar playing. He is never brought up in the greatest, when he was the most talented player in ROCK/METAL at the time...IN MY OPINION
On the album is clearly states this was co written by Paisley, Osbourne and Rhodes.
@@hays9008 I know what it says but look it up look up what they did to Jake E Lee.
*Goes to the comments to see if anyone comments about Randy Rhodes, wasn't disappointed.*
The secret weapon in this band is the bass player. Rudy is a monster. He was in the bus that the plane hit when Randy died. Worst day of his life, and this is a dude that escaped out of Cuba with nothing but his clothes.
BTW I got hired at my current job because I could play the intro on guitar. 27 years later... still here.
The most magical thing I have ever seen was Ozzy Osbourne in Vancouver in 1996 get help onto stage from his security not knowing he was probably even in Vancouver onstage all the sudden realizes he's in front of 20000 people all the sudden and scream into the microphone motherfukers
Thats Randy Rhoads!!! Shredding the guitar 🎸.
I came up in East NY. 1980 Rappers Delight then The Message. I was 12. I was white. One of 3 in my school. My friends parents turned me onto R&B and Soul. Disco was everywhere. 12 is a very formative age. At 13/14 I started high school. In BK there were very clear lines drawn between Neighborhoods and colors. I had no white friends. But this was one of the first artists that swayed me over. All my childhood friends went to other high schools, I got left with white kids and this. This was the way things were. But I found Rush in 1983, Led Zep, Heart…etc…. Society sucked that I couldn’t do both, I had to hide my rap knowledge I so wanted to hang on to because I identified, but becoming a teenager I was also liking Rock, Metal and some new wave (Blondie).
Is it the same today? Do kids feel that pressure?
I sang this in my Ozzy Tribute band as the encore of course people love this song and they love Ozzy
When this song came out most of his fans were in their teens or 20s, now we’re your parents’ ages probably. It spoke to many of us because we were the heirs of the "cold war" and had grown up with atomic bomb drills in our schools. The crazy train was our world, and we were all products of that society, not just OZZY, and many of us felt like we were going off the rails with the threat of nuclear war and other crazy stuff going on in the world. We were the first latchkey kids, and what we inherited just wasn't fair. Just like whst later generations have inherited isn't fair. Ozzy’s first two albums Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman saved my life because I finally found out other people felt the way I did. Ozzy writes most of his own lyrics, and he doesn’t get credit for some really meaningful songs. Listen to and read the lyrics to Over the Mountain, Flying High Again, Suicide Solution, Diary of a Madman, Mr. Crowley.
Glorious!
No more tears by ozzy
We use to rock out to this in the early 80’s
Great reaction. This song does have a strong message. The bass player Bob Daisley wrote the lyrics for this song. He wrote most of the lyrics for the first few Ozzy solo albums.
Love you guys, already saw ALL your videos, some more than 10 times, for real. Greetings from Portugal! Try some MY DYING BRIDE "the dreadful hours" or "she is the dark"
I love this song, that being said one of my guilty pleasures in the bluegrass cover of Crazy Train by "Iron Horse" You should give it a listen. Will definitely bring a smile to your face
Ozzy's message has always been, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
Greatful to live in the oZzy erra💯
I remember an interview from years back where Ozzy said growing up with his Dad he had one shirt, one pair of pants, etc, that he wore every day because they were so very very poor. Yet his Dad saved up and bought him an amp as a teen because he saw the passion in him. The rest is history, and we are all the better for it. Great call Mr Osbourne where ever you are!
Bob Daisley had a major input into the lyric writing on much of Ozzy's material from this time, and 95% of Black Sabbath's lyrics were written by Geezer Butler, but Ozzy certainly had some input.... just not as much as some people like to claim!
Bob didn't just have major input in the lyrics... He wrote 99.5% of the lyrics. He's a lyrical genius, full stop. Ozzy may have threw in an idea here and there and if it was good, Bob simply incorporated it. But that's not Ozzy's talent. First and foremost it is his melodies, in my humble opinion. We do in fact have to give him credit for a lot of the melodies we hear in the tunes. Secondly, he's just a f'ing helluva rock'n'roll, heavy metal front-man. He just chews up the audience in live performances.
I love this song , it was on the blizzard of ozz album, and completed right after his main guitar player Randy Rhodes died in a plain crash, now it's Zach Wyled as his main guitar player and later used for Trick Daddy's Let's go
Ozzy is a rock God !! We all knew it. Before he got Sick , Anyone would tell you he was a metal genius. God love him and Sharon
Oh man, I laughed way too hard at the Chicken 🤣🤣 time to go to sleep...
As far as the lyrics not sounding like Ozzy.......Black Sabbath actually did quite a few songs that were simply examinations of the struggle between Good and Evil, and Sabbath made a point of choosing to come down on the side of Good. This was not out of character. Check out the lyrics to "Children Of The Grave."
This is my favorite song by ozzy 🤘🎸
you guys are too kool. i started listening to this when i was 15 yrs old all of the time not knowing what the words where I guess I thought my brain had decifered the words correctly. not even close! I m 54 now The meaning of this song would have never made sense to the ANGRY little girl who thought it was saying something very different. Thank You. Oz Man has a renewed fan who will be searching through his lyrics for important life lessons, you also gained a fan I think you should decifer something from Ozzy"s close friend Zakk Wylde/Black Lable Society in this River.
MORE SABBATH... WITH OUR OZZY.. SAY NO MORE ☮️
By the way, I saw this OZZY tour and 5 others. My list is stupid ridiculous long. I can’t believe I even did it looking back now. Stupid ridiculous.
I believe that Ozzy himself wrote the captions for this lyric video. He suffers from dyslexia so maybe I'm right!
I saw Randy Rhoads perform this live about 3 months before his death..what a Talent
Prince of Darkness is his Stage persona. Little known fact Ozzy and Sharon were in New York when 9/11 attack happened. The found the nearest church and prayed.
You guys reacted to it already, but I think Black Sabbath's song Paranoid fits that description of a song people don't hear what the lyrics are saying
Hollywood and Smo Dog, check out Dairy of a Madman. Not many know that track. I guess it's a deep track.
An interview with Zakk about Ozzy, he called him a one take wonder. He said he was playing a new song and Ozzy just whipped out some lyrics of the top of his head.
Side note the movie Wyatt Earp used 5150 for the train number from Tombstone..CRAZY TRAIN...
I'm sure it's been said already, but shout out to the bass players Bob Daisley & Geezer Butler who wrote the majority of lyrics that Ozzy sang.
Will forever hear “Oliver” when this song plays...
That's exactly how they came up with the name, randy was playing some random shit, and Ozzy mentioned how it sounded like a train, rady replied by saying that's crazy, boom they got the lyrics and name of the song
THE OZZ MAN IS THE GOAT , OH AND HIS NEW ALBUM IS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song is about war and how each generation gets pushed to get on the crazy train and go to war. Many of those who come home have PTSD and can't live in society anymore. That's where the lyrics say "Life's a bitter shame, I'm going off the rails on the crazy train".
Everyone just keeps going along with the way things have always been because "the media sells it and you live the role".
The original riff was Created by guitarist Randy Rhoades and the lyrics were written by Bob Daisley who was the bassist of Ozzy's group.
Bob Daisley wrote a book called "For Facts Sake" where he tells all about how he and Randy sat on chairs across from one another and worked out the songs on the album one by one. Then Randy would double or triple his guitar tracks to make them sound more full.
I believe Crazy Train, Mr, Crowley and Diary Of A Madman we're Randy's best work. Thanks guys!
Ozzy wrote almost none of his lyrics. In Black Sabbath, Geezer Butler was the main lyricist but in Ozzy's earlier solo years (up until No More Tears), bassist Bob Daisley wrote a lot of them. Daisley was also responsible for writing much of the music, along with the various guitar players Ozzy had over the years. Fun fact- Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead fame wrote the lyrics for six of Ozzy's songs on No More Tears, including "Mama I'm Coming Home". In fact, a version of the song "Hellraiser" from that album was recently released with Lemmy singing some of the verses.
if you go into the lyrics of a lot of black sabbath songs, and also a lot of ozzy solo stuff, you'll hear through they're hippies at heart.
A National Acrobat by Black Sabbath
I always thought this song has a very similar message to Imagine by John Lennon. Forget the teachings of old. Let's imagine a better world for ourselves and take that crazy train to love people and leave money, war, and greed behind.
Diary of a Madman🤘
Nice hat Hollywood congrats on the Braves winning the NL East
You should check out Liliac doing a live version of this song on the Santa Monica Pier, they are 5 siblings and kick butt!
Doink the Clown and his sidekick Dink........legends 😂
