Song Parodies -> Beckham Is Headed For Trouble
"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" Based on the performance by Gordon Lightfoot
"Beckham Is Headed For Trouble" Parody by Michael Pacholek

And, once again, The Rest Of The World has sent America an emissary to try to bring us into the family of nations, in the hope that we will finally take their side and see that soccer is not an incredibly stupid game. This emissary will have as much success as all the others. Note that "Real," Spanish for "royal," is pronounced "Ree-AL," not "REEL."

The legend lives on from the Brazilians on down
of the great man who was known as Pele.
But Edson, it's said, couldn't bring game ahead
and the real football remains our melee.

With a load of Dutch strife, there was once Johan Cruyff
and the German named Franz Beckenbauer.
Chinalgia, paesan, you were putting me on.
Your game turned the minutes to hours!

The scheme was the pride of the world's other side
to make all these Americans love soccer.
They even tried chicks with their sports-bras and kicks.
Well, I might want to meet them in lockers!

It might have been nice if the girl named Posh Spice
had remained just Victoria Adams.
Her hubby, it seems, has a young man's steams
and his cheating had left her quite saddened.

This overgrown kid played for Real Madrid
and the Big Red United, Manchester.
But on national team, he made all England scream
for his captaincy's sordid divester!

So popular remained that they hadn't abstained
from the movie with Parminder Nagra.
But Becks at his peak found something else to seek
and his secretary served as Viagra!

When MLS came, the commissioner came on deck
saying, "David, to save us, we need ya."
He signed a contract, but as matter of fact
not yet has Real Madrid freed ya!

Ex-Captain wired in, "Me and Posh are comin' in
and your revenues, they're gonna double."
If fortunes he told, he'd not have any gold.
David Beckham is headed for trouble!

Does anyone know where the love of sports goes
when 90 minutes seems like 10 hours?
It seems it's revealed, spends less time on the field
than he's fixing his hair in the shower!

For, you know, it seems Becks, he is quite metrosex
with his sharp suits and five-dollar water.
And all that's remained is how Posh looks so pained
as Becks puts moves on team owner's daughter!

Los Angeles town wants to give him a crown
that they tried to give to Kobe Bryant.
The idea, it seems, is he won't wreck their dreams
giving women a good kind of cryin'.

And farther below, there's the Home Depot
sponsor paying for name of the Center.
It ain't Hollywood, for Becks, might be no good.
Could this superstar be a resenter?

On some musty old film, at the Meadowlands played
New York Cosmos, now reduced to rubble.
In five years, by golly, it will seem such a folly.
That Beckham is headed for trouble!

The legend lives on from the FIFA on down
of the big flakes who ask, "Why not futbol?"
Superior, we said, game of helmet on head.
Silly handless game, 'twould be a bad call!

Thanks for posting this Char. This parody is quite good! Here in the L.A. area the media is in a frenzy over Beckham's arrival. Frankly, most sports fans here could not care less. He is past his prime as a player and soccer will not appeal to the American sports fan until there is more scoring in the game.

Give me hockey any day over soccer (even over the NFL as well!) How 'bout those Ducks, eh?

(I suspect I may be a Canadian trapped in a US citizen's body!)

Why thanks, ClosetCan. for informing us that Beckham is past it as a player! You would be a Soccer/football expert? Imagine Galaxy paying $125mil. for a player who is past it... :D
As Jim says, send him back to England.

Hollywood stars host Beckham party
Friday, July 20 2007, 10:27 BST

Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have joined forces with Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett to hold a welcome party to mark the Beckham's move to Los Angeles.

David and Victoria Beckham re-located to the US last week for David's new job at football team LA Galaxy.

It looks like they will be welcomed in style with a party being held in the Museum of Contemporary Arts in LA this Sunday, according to People magazine.

The invitations were sent out with the message: "Please join Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith in welcoming David and Victoria Beckham to Los Angeles."

I am with ClosetCanadian on this, right now Posh and Becks are all over like Paris Hilton was 6 months ago. Maybe the hype of Beckham will make Soccer more popular for the short term, but even MNia Hamm hasn't be able to make popular.Nothing against Soccer,just us staid old farts in the US don't go for anything "new" no matter how old it is.

Sorry if my comment offended you SilverHeels but I do believe at his age Beckham will be more prone to injuries and will not be the dominating player he was when he starred for Manchester United. As for his new contract, the Galaxy are paying him for his drawing power to put people in the seats more than his ability to put the ball in the net. It will be interesting to see if he can resist all the distractions Hollywood will offer. And if we Americans do send him back to England, you have to take Victoria back as well!

David AND Victoria will be welcomed with open arms. We never wanted them to go to LA.
btw Victoria's sense of humour has been completely misunderstood by the Americans. Give them a break - America invited them, after all.
