My first thought is from Billy Preston

 

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me

 

I'm not tryin' to be your hero

'Cause that zero is too cold for me, Brrr

I'm not tryin' to be your highness

'Cause that minus is too low to see, yeah

 

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

And I'm not stuffin', believe you me

Don't you remember I told ya

I'm a soldier in the war on poverty, yeah

Yes, I am

 

------ instrumental break ------

 

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'

You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me

 

You gotta have somethin' if you wanna be with me

You gotta bring me somethin' girl, if you wanna be with me

He already has a song. Don't you remember School House Rock and "My Hero Zero"? You're old, you should remember it

I'll go with "My Hero, Zero!" from Schoolhouse Rock!

 

My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero,

But till you came along,

We counted on our fingers and toes.

Now you're here to stay

And nobody really knows

How wonderful you are.

Why we could never reach a star,

Without you, Zero, my hero,

How wonderful you are.

 

Et cetera, et cetera, ad infinitum, ad astra, forever and ever,

With zero, my hero, how wonderful you are.

I'll go with "My Hero, Zero!" from Schoolhouse Rock!

Glad I am not the only 30ish one in the house who remembers SHR!

The sad thing I wrote my message and posted it before I saw yours...

At least ribbie took the time to quote the lyrics. 2k3 (pre SoxTalk award winner) would have taken the time, but this 2K4 edition has gotten lazy.

Correction TRIPLE award winning 2k4. Get it straight.

 

I was actually doing a search to post the lyrics, but by the time I got back, Ribbie had beat me to it.

or the song "Mr Zero" by The Yardbirds

 

Diamonds of silvery rain in the fountains,

And ten-cent red roses from department store counters,

Watching the moonlight reflect off the river,

Beside where the trains cross the bridge and slow down,

Trains with white letters on black iron sides,

And white rushing water that all rolls away,

And Little Miss Someone does not want to stay.

Everyone's moving, with places to go,

And Mr Zero, he sadly stands still.

As the water goes one way, the train goes another,

Mr Zero stands still and Miss Someone don't bother.

 

Yesterday's kiss will be cold by tomorrow,

As campfires of midnight dissolve in the darkness.

The room is deserted, the blinds have been drawn,

Little Miss Someone has packed up and gone.

Fast moving cars disappear down the highway,

With signs that say "hitch-hikers: do not disturb".

Mr Zero looks quietly up from the curb.

Morning has faded, and shadows have grown,

And Little Miss Someone is on her way home.

Mr Zero stands watching, her plane flies above,

And with frost-bitten hands waves goodbye to his love.

 

Walks through the park on a bright summer Sunday,

And tapestry kittens that hung on the wall.

They all die in the air like a soft minor chord,

A vacancy sign, and a bulletin board.

Mr Zero is wrapping his jacket around him,

Speaking kind words that should have been said long ago,

But Little Miss Someone does not want to know.

The night is deserted, there's dust on the shelf,

Mr Zero sits lonely and talks to himself.

It's too late to change, the fine line has been crossed,

The charades are all done, Mr Zero has lost.

Sorry 2k4, I got a 5 year old son.

I know everyone of those songs by friggin heart now.

 

That Schoolhouse Rock DVD is awesome!

It took me a while to search up Nothin lyrics. I waded through more s*** until I found it. BTW, if he didn't come pre packaged with that nickname, we would have been accused of racism for comparing him to the fighter pilots of that nickname.

Its been 20-25 years for me, and I still know them all by heart. I guess you never forget

Actually more than the song the one thing that has been on my brain since we signed our new closer is "When Harry Met Sally" with Billy Crystal.

 

He is discussing the movers who informed him that his wife was leaving him and he said the one had a shirt that read:

 

"Don't f*** with Mr. Zero!"

 

I smell a bullpen sign!!

Cmon people! There should be only one song playing when Mr. Zero steps out from the bullpen.

 

Fans of 80's music will know this song:

 

"Saved by Zero" The Fixx.

 

How could it possibly get any better then that? At the end of games we will be essentially "saved by zero"..... Its f***ing perfect!!

Maybe, someday

Saved by zero

I'll be more together

stretched by fewer

Thoughts that leave me

Chasing utter

My dreams disown me

Loaded with danger

Maybe I'll win

Saved by Zero

Holding onto

Wends that teach me

I will conquer

Space around me

Maybe I'll win

Saved by zero

Maybe I'll win

Saved by zero

How about some Mr. Zero Haiku?

 

WhiteSox winning late

the game is in jeopardy

Mr. Zero saves

OEO...ZEEEEEERO! (If maggs is gone)

OEO...ZEEEEEERO! (If maggs is gone)

Please, no.
