King of Shocker Nation

[Kung Wu]

I KNEW we won over some K-State fans when we whooped KU, but I didn't know Bruce Weber could yodel a little. Good effort Bruce.

One of you in Wichita has got to ask Marshall what he thinks of the song.

The second time I listened to it, it sounded a little better. Of course it was late at night. I might actually like it if I listen to it a few more times.

OK! Here are a few of my favorite things; yodeling, boobs & beer... (watch the entire video)

She has nice... yodeling skills!

Amazing; I guzzled (chugged) a couple of 32oz Shock-Top draws and it sounded a whole lot better. :)

What chaps my hide is that the first 25 seconds is actually a heck of a sweet build up. You really think something cool is about to happen ... then ... well you know the rest of the story.

When I see this thread, I feel like it should say "Kung of Shocker Nation"

Maybe we could record that one too

Sounds like a wedding night story...just sayin. Not mine of course.

I think you and I could hang out!

Ok, just to clear some things up. The day Gregg made his decision to stay, it occurred to me that the Marshall/Alabama scenario was very much like the character in Roger Miller's "Kansas City Star" song wherein a local TV performer turned down an offer from Omaha for "better job and higher wages" because of his local celebrity. Taking Millers iconic music (admittedly corny C&W), I composed some lyrics as a parody about the great news that Gregg Marshall had decided to stay at WSU. I then contacted a local person who had the knowledge and ability (Jim Ferrell) to see if he could round up a singer/musician who could imitate Miller's style. He even found additional musicians for the trombone and rhythm and put a marvelous audio track together. Brian Hall, a very talented WSU student did the video which makes the whole thing go. I did it for fun and hopefully for the enjoyment of my Shocker friends.

I jumped in somewhere in the middle, listened for 5 seconds and shut it off.

The only thing worse would be if it was done as a rap.

It's a parody of Roger Miller's "Kansas City Star". Google that and you'll see the similarity.

[ShockerLarry]

Enhances the stereotype Wichita hayseed mentality. Belongs on hee haw; not the high energy, play angry, shocker basketball program. Use the lyrics and change the tempo, singer, melody and you might have something that isn't used as a laugh meter against shocker nation. Oh, and lose that yodeling crap. That belongs in dog patch missourah.
I applaud the effort though. I'm sure the 70+ crowd will love it.

It's a parody for Gods sake!

Myself, as well as all of the coworkers I shared the video with took it for what it was, a satire, and had a few good laughs about it, so for adding to the entertainment value of a sometimes otherwise monotonous work environment, I say, "Thank you."

It was fun and I did it not as an attempt to make musical history but to give Shocker fans something different to enjoy. Glad you liked it.
