Chiefs Song Parody (based on an idea from RIP58) – “Reid is Building a Dynasty” (to the Box Tops’ “The Letter”)
8 repliesWith apologies to RIP58 (as I no doubt ruined this song), the Box Tops (who originally wrote this song), and 3rdNLong, from whom I am not trying to steal thunder:
“Reid is Building a Dynasty” (to the tune of “The Letter” by the Box Tops)
Gimme a ticket for the big ol’ game
Ain’t got time to sit and complain
Chiefs have won the West
Now we are the best
Reid is building a dynasty
I don’t care what the pundits say
Third time in four years, we’re on our way
Chiefs have won the West
Now we are the best
Reid is building a dynasty
Well the Bengals came to town and tried to beat us
In Arrowhead
Critics said that they was favored
Called it “Burrowhead”
And then…
Punched us a ticket to the big ol’ game
Now they all sit around and complain
Chiefs have won the West
Now we are the best
Reid is building a dynasty
Well the Bengals came to town and tried to beat us
In Arrowhead
Critics said that they was favored
Called it “Burrowhead”
And then…
Three of four years in the big ol’ game
Great time to be a fan, can’t complain
Chiefs have won the West
Now we are the best
Reid is building a dynasty (2x)
Nas, I love it. This is great. I won’t upstage you and do this song. You’ve done it quite well. Thanks, Rip, for the great idea too!
Nicely done.
Do we know anyone who actually makes those Hype Videos?
I assume the Chiefs have a media department that handles that stuff. Clay at RedTribeCinemas makes some too, and I’m sure there are other amateurs who know how to as well.
This song. I can see the video with it
I apologize to RIP, as this song is no doubt irrevocably ruined in his mind and wasn’t quite what he had in mind. I also apologize to (and thank) the Box Tops, who originally wrote this under-two-minute song that has a surprisingly high amount of lyrics.
No way. It flows well, the words fit, and it works.
But, I think we’re more of the Joe Cocker version. Rougher edge to it
Beautiful job Nas, for some reason the idea just popped in my head last night. Glad you completed it, and very nicely done by the way….
Glad you liked it! This must be one of your favorite songs; this is the second time in ~a month you’ve posted or referenced it. I hope I did it justice!
