50 ways to Miss a Quad Jump
by Saul and Bart
I hit a bar in Brisbane shortly after oneThe men's SPs had finished...it hadn't been much fun
I figured after all the skating I'd seen done
There must be fifty ways to miss a quad jump
The place was quiet, with the faint sound of piano
Seated at the bar I spied Brian Boitano
He shook his head and muttered, "What a bunch of guano."
There must be fifty ways to miss a quad jump
Just slip off an edge, Reg
Don't hit your pick, Mick
Fall on your rear, Greer, what a tough night
Too much lean, Dean, man those scores were mean
Not enough height, Dwight, what a poor flight
He said, "it grieved me so to see them such a mess
I wish there something I could say to lessen their distress"
I said, "they'd appreciate that, but could you please explain about the fifty ways."
He said, "they'll probably just sleep on it tonight
And in the morning practice they all begin to see the light"
And as he paid his tab, I realized he probably was right
There must be fifty ways to miss a quad jump.
Just slip off an edge, Reg
Don't hit your pick, Mick
Fall on your rear, Greer, what a tough night
Too much lean, Dean, man those scores were mean
Not enough height, Dwight, what a poor flight
(alternative refrain or too many ideas not enough song!)
Brush your free toe, Joe, one too many, Evegni
Take a step out, Scout, you won't take the lead
Land on two feet, Pete, that sure ain't too neat
Not enough speed, Reed, To get done the deed.
