The Baseball Project - Disco Demolition

Veeck, as in wreck, said What the heck.
I've got a losing team and a blank check.
I got a need to put some butts in the seats
It's time for a gimmick to make it complete
There's a guy on the radio saying Disco Sucks.
Doesn't matter to me but I know what makes bucks
Let's bring out the fans to blow up records they hate
In the break between a double header against the Tigersgreat!

Win or lose, there's one thing that I've said
It's better to be flash than boring insteadf
They left the field in a terrible condition
Disco Demolition

The first game was done and DJ Steve Dahl took his place
Flak jack, tank, a helmet to stir up the ranks
One Donna Summer, two more by Chic
Three Sylvester, Toot toot beep beep
But look there's Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye
That ain't disco, I mean, what the hey?
The flames grew higher, the field blew up
Pandemonium, riot, second game called by the umps

Not long down the line, it was fine
For frat boys to get down and funky at Woodstock 99
Steven Tyler in a scarf begat Boy George in a dress
The fans ate it up without any duress
A bonfire set ablaze by fear of sex and race
At a time when we all should have hung our heads in disgrace
