Tributing Stuff (Part 11): Tribute to the 30 Rock Tribute to Scotiabank Place and the Ottawa Senators

Two of the best things in the sports and entertainment world... ok, in the entire known world, are the NBC series 30 Rock and the Ottawa Senators (at Scotiabank place). I think this goes without saying. Now what if those two things were combined into one mega-best thing? Has this question been keeping you up at night and haunting your dreams? Have no fear! Your dreaming days have come to an end!

In this 30 Rock scene, Danny had made a "psych-up" song for the Ottawa Senators which had been nominated for a Juno in the same category as Sir Dave Coulier (who must be the same Dave Coulier who played Joey Gladstone in Full House).

The catchy lyrics were:

“The crowd’s getting loud at Scotiabank Place!
Make a hockey lovin’ face at Scotiabank Place!”


The sad thing is that this is the caliber of "psych-up" music that they would actually play Scotiabank Place. 'Tis a sad day in Canadian sport "psych-up" song history when NBC writers can write "psych-up" songs at will, which are as good, if not better than the ones that Canadian our teams play.

One final thing: In the video of Danny while he is singing... look at his pants. Are they skin tight and beige? Or he simply not wearing pants? Why would you write that into the scene!?!?! This show is so ridiculous that even I can love it. Bless your tender heart 30 Rock, bless your rock-tender heart.



I think we should petition to get this song as our official psych-up song. If I could do that I would probably consider it my life's biggest - and shortest lived - accomplishment. A man can dream can't he?
