If a Blazer was a song...

PrintI got this idea from the "If a Blazer were a Beer" post. Since I know nothing about beer but quite a bit about music I thought I would make a post comparing each Trail Blazer to a song. Feel free to make suggestions if you know a song that fits a player better. Also I didn't do players that are not currently in the rotation. I didn't do Bayless or Sergio as to not start any disagreements about who is in the rotation and who is not. If you have a song for the players who are out of rotation, suggest them to me and I'll add them to the list.
BTW, some of the songs I chose do have curse words in them. I did not use any sections that had cussing in the portions of lyrics I pasted here. But if you don't want to hear any cussing, don't click on the link.
Greg Oden: "Day 'n' Nite" By Kid Cudi. This song is mellow while also being powerful. And you just can't seem to get it out of your head. I imagine that some players have a hard time getting Greg out of their heads, after he's dunked all over it. Also, the lyrics correspond with how I think Greg must feel at certain times.
Here's the opening lines of the song:
Day n nite. I toss and turn, I keep stressin’ my mind, mind.
I look for peace, but see I don’t attain.
What I need for keeps this silly game we play, play.
Now look at this.
Madness the magnet keeps attracting me, me.
I try to run, but see I’m not that fast.
I think I’m first but surely finish last, last.
Joel Pryzbilla: "Substitue" By The Who. Joel is the ultimate substitue and this song perfectly resembles him. Its a bit grungy but still happy. I think the lyrics paint a better picture here:
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by
Nic Batum: "Solaar Pleure" By MC Solaar. Okay, so I know your thinking I just chose this song because its by a french artist. Well, you are kind of right. French lyrics aside, this song represents Nic well. It is raw and powerful. The song sometimes sounds as if it needs a bit of finishing but you still enjoy listening to it.
Je suis au paradis, je sillonne les plaines
A la recherche de resquilleurs dans le jardin d'Eden
J'ai contrôlé les anges, pas de haine mais pas d'ennemis
Sinon j'ai le canif et j'inaugure le meurtre au paradis.
J'ai joué au maigrelet chaque fois que l'on m'a provoqué
I just put the lyrics in there so you could enjoy some french. The lyrics don't really have anything to do with the Nic. Its more the feel of the song I like. Plus, imagine a highlight reel to this. SICK.
Travis Outlaw: "Ain't that Peculiar" By Marvin Gaye. The song is laid back at times but still manages to catch your attention, kind of like Travis in an interview. Concerning the title of the song: Travis is peculiar in that some nights you say to yourself, wow now THATS an all-star. But the next night your yelling for a trade. Peculiar. On to to a snippet of the lyrics.
Honey you do me wrong but still i'm crazy about you
Stay away too long and i can't do without you
Every chance you get you seem to hurt me more and more
But each hurt makes my love stronger than before
I know flowers go through rain
But how can love go through pain
Brandon Roy: "Superstar" by Lupe Fiasco. Finding a song for Brandon was the most difficult. I wanted something that showed his talent and finesse while not being too cocky. I was originally going to choose a Kanye West track but eventually decided that Kanye was talking too much about himself for it to have any relevance to Brandon. "Superstar" begins with the sound of people clapping and cheering. I don't think I really need to explain that one, I'm sure you've all clapped and cheered for Broy and some point and time. Lupe's style of rapping in this song is interesting because he changes pace not only during the course of the song but during the course of a line. Remind you of a certain player's crossover? Here's some of the lyrics.
And the light bulbs around my mirror don't flicker
Everybody gets a nice autograph picture
One for you and one for your sister
Who had to work tonight but is an avid listener
Every songs a favorite song and mics don't feedback
All the reviewers say "You need to go and see that"
And everybody claps 'cause everybody is pleased
And then they all take the stage and start performin' for me
LaMarcus Aldridge: "No Diggity" By Blackstreet and Dr. Dre. Not only is "No Diggity' fun to say, its also a down right smooth track. LaMarcus has a smooth jumper that is reflected in the beat which gets you bopping your head. Listen to the song and try and resist the urge, it is impossible. Dr. Dre brings rawness to the track, like a LaMarcus O-board and dunk. Some lyrics for you. Replace all the "she's" with "he's" if you want it to make sense.
East side to the west side
Pushing phat rides, it's no surprise
She got tricks in the stash
Stacking up the cash
Fast when it comes to the gas
By no means average
As long as she's got to have it
Baby, you're a perfect ten, I wanna get in
Can I get down, so I can win
Steve Blake: "Carry That Weight" by The Beatles. Steve has to carry the weight of being the only true point guard on the team. He also carries the weight of knowing he is going to be playing a large amount of minutes. The song is has few accelerandos and keeps a steady beat. This reminds me of Steve's game play, he isn't flashy but holds the team together and plays a clean game. Here are some lyrics for you.
Boy, you gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Link to the song (sorry The Beatles didn't make a music video for this one.)
Rudy Fernandez: "Creator" by Santogold. I love this song because its exciting and contsantly changing. Rudy is the same way. he never ceases to amaze us with a between-the-legs pass or a well-timed three. Here's a snippet of the lyrics.
Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards
Okay, well thats it. Don't forget to make some of your own suggestions, especially if you know a song that fits our current pine riders. Hope you all enjoy this!

Another nice idea. You rock (almost literally). With his style and jersey number Nic is "bringing 88 back" for me
The Cool Kids – 88 (no real videos, just tracks with pictures available). It was on the NBA 2K8 soundtrack, but they are still pretty unknown like Nic. E.g. here nicely animated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYgxmYVbZOo (some PG language)
Lyrics e.g. here http://www.urbanlyrics.com/lyrics/coolkids/88.html
[…]
Flickin’ on my fit
I got my foot lookin like a ‘88 draft pick
Is that sick? It gets sicker than the flu
And sir, you came to pretend I’m a douche
Attain you a class on how to be cool
And in fact, I’m the superintendent of the school
Uh, yeah and I’m back on my job
I press and twist knobs
Just to make your head nod
All you wack rappers need to keep your day job
And my work here is done, I’m a take the day off
(Chorus)
Do the smurf, Do the wop, Baseball bat
Rooftop, like I’m bringin ’88 back
[…]
I've heard that song before but never knew who it was by, I am forever grateful to you
All you wack rappers need to keep your day job
And my work here is done, I’m a take the day off
that line is sick!!!!

Przybilla: Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult.
Go – Joel – Priz – billa

Tull? Zeppelin? B.O.C.? Gong?

I thought so.
hopefully not a perfect match in the “stoner” part of the song

I agree with you. But alas, I am not a huge fan of heavy metal
and therefore do not have a great sampling of such. If you know a good heavy metal song I would be interested…
I Blazersedge daily, nightly and ever so rightly.
A warrior like Joel,
Sample lyrics
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless gray
On they fight, for they are right, yes, but who’s to say?
For a hill, men would kill. Why? They do not know
Stiffend wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
What's the point?

I think Roy’s game against Houston, especially his last second shot to win it, really matches up quite nicely with O Fortuna.

do you only listen to The Fish?
Petra? Really? I dug Petra when Greg X. was the singer back in the day. Someone told me he went to jail for molesting somebody. Probably isn’t true.
I do believe in Greg, I do believe in Greg. I do I do I do I do I do believe in Greg.
i dun know, i did some googling and didn't find anything on that.
but yeah, I am a Christian Music junky. My dad used to run a Christian Rock radio program aimed at teenagers when i was in elementary school…he’d let me come down to the station with him and help him pick out the tunes and sometimes even go on air with him
"This is Ssssolid ROCK Radio! The phone lines are open—five seven five one eight four oh or toll free at one triple eight….441…8927. "
I got into all the old classics like Petra, Degarmo and Key, Steve Taylor, Carman, DC Talk etc. Fun stuff.
Bedge or go home -- Sabonis4Ever
Yeah, wiki says he just got divorced.
of course, when you’re 13 and the youth leader says something happened, it’s gotta be true.
I was surprised I didn’t see any Geoff Moore and the Distance or Audio Adrenaline. Those were the days.
I do believe in Greg, I do believe in Greg. I do I do I do I do I do believe in Greg.
I'd use "Home Run" if this was a baseball blog
Audio Adrenaline had a lot of good stuff…..maybe Shav could be “Free Ride” since he’s going to get a ring with us w.out having to do much.

Pray to God for no bad dreams
Here… I’m still waiting here, my dear
For one kiss from you
So here… I’m still waiting here, my dear
To kill all of you

Greg Oden = "Sometimes" by Ours
pressure fried the coldest head
bent to the side wishing he was dead
and i would still defend
i would still defend
i give up on it all
i give up on the greed
i give up on the ones
who give up on me
held up by the poor somewhere
there’re unaware but i know we are scared
if i was to give in
the fight would soon begin
so i give up on it all
i give up on the greed
i’ll give up on the ones
who’ll give up on me
I do believe in Greg, I do believe in Greg. I do I do I do I do I do believe in Greg.
those lyrics work really well (especially the opening lines)
side note, the singers voice i find very interesting. Not bad though, I like that he plays it a bit subtle in the beginning and doesn’t just come out screaming like a lot of other rockers.

I'd say Channing is...
Justify my Thug (9th Wonder remix) by Jay-Z .
I never asked for nothin I don’t demand of myself
Honesty, loyalty, friends and then wealth
Death before dishonor and I tell you what else
I tighten my belt ‘fore I beg for help
Foolish pride is what held me together through the years
I wasn’t felt which is why I ain’t never played myself
I just play the hand I’m dealt, I can’t say I’ve never knelt
before God and asked for better cards at times to no avail
But I never sat back feelin sorry for myself
If you don’t give me heaven I’ll raise hell
Channing’s a stand up dude and he tries really, really hard for the team. He takes what he’s given minutes wise and just tries to produce. Sometimes he comes up short, but I still think he deserves our respect.

Roy also has the "Heart of a Champion"

But that song while great might be a little too boastful for him. I was thinking about doing a Blazers video to that tune. There was a great Danny Granger video set to that which really fit the workout intro.
Yeah, I found it hard to find a song for Brandon
that wasn’t too boastful. I found that too many songs that have the word “champion” in their title talk about themselves a little too much.

The Nonce, World Ultimate
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ryAKG4Lpk
Mainly because of the section of lyrics below and the flow of the song. (Just a warning, I couldnt find the lyrics online, so I had to scribe them from listening…) I think the whole song kind of describes Roy in kind of an odd way, but it works in my head.
I can see with second sight that your equipped to fight
With certain elements, elements thats clear to the eye
When induced through my cable they like deadly combine
Through my radius, the gaseous form, galaxy storm
I still create the rhyme with the forces of course
Hand the toy a loss, while I flip positions
Enhance my lyrics, look im in my b-boy stance
While my DJ’s next to me cuttin on one knee
To the world, hell, how ya’ll feel?
Its kind of long, but its good. Just remember, its the World Ultimate.

BRING BACK REAL MUSIC!!!! Also, do you know if I can download this song somewhere?
I Blazersedge daily, nightly and ever so rightly.
I agree, bring back real music
I havent seen much of their stuff around much except for the Youtube tracks. I picked up the album when it came out in the mid 90’s because of the single they released “Bus Stops” and I am glad I didnt just get the single.
As for downloading it online, I havent seen their stuff on iTunes and I am not a member of Napster or any of the other downloading sites, so not sure if it is even downloadable. There are some sites out there that lets you convert the YouTube videos over to MP3, but the audio quality isnt near CD. You might try there.
But really, if you can get your hands on the album, its a keeper in my book.

That Rohff guy is better than MC Solaar. But then again, maybe I'm just saying this because he scares me

Minor tweaks to Brandon and Nic
Brandon – “Do it till your satisfied”.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B4-tmcBv40 by BT Express
Hailing from Brandon’s epic game against Phoenix this year and Wheels’ unforgettable quote. This song is sick and it makes me think that Wheels was rocking to this before the game.
Nic – “Sexy Boy”.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK9L2HUEGZM by Air
Great French band and the title speaks for itself given female cult following here at BE.
I didn't mean to turn you on
First off, I thought Wheels was just saying whatever came to mind. It makes more sense now that he was quoting something
little less creepy. Also, that “sexy boy” song is great. I’m buying it. I’ve heard it before but never knew the artist. Thanks so much!

I just thought of a song that is perfect for the entire team while they are on this long road trip......
The song is “Highway Song” by the Southern Rock Band – Blackfoot. If you follow the link it goes to the bands official website and Highway Song immediately begins playing.
This superb rock ballad is in my opinion the best example of a Southern Rock Ballad with the only possible exceptions being “Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd and “Green Grass and High Tides” by The Outlaws.
The Outlaws have a song named “You are the Show” that would perfectly describes the relationship between the Blazers and the Rose Garden Fans.
Please check these out – they are two of the greatest examples of Southern Rock ever recorded, I kid you not.
