The following song is a parody of One Republic ft. Timbaland's - Apologize. It centres on comments Marc Murphy tweeted regarding the quality (or lack thereof) of the umpiring in the Round 12, 2012 clash between West Coast and Carlton. As a result, Murphy was forced by the AFL to apologize for his comments.
I remember watching the game, and after seeing the AFL acting ultra sensitive over his twitter comments it sparked the idea for this parody song - my first. I only got around to finishing the filmclip recently, which is why i'm only releasing it now.
I'm the first to say I don't have a Buble' voice, but hopefully it's bearable enough.
Cheers, hope you enjoy.
LYRICS:
I'm hanging by a noose, got me 10 feet off the ground
They gag me for my tweets, not allowed to make a sound
I tell it how it is, and the AFL cut me down, but wait
Forced to say i'm sorry
Should've known they'd turn around, and say...
That it's now time to apologize (Just do it!)
It's now time to apologize (Just do it!)
WOAH-OAH WOAH
If I had my time again i'd vent my thoughts on SEN
They fine us for our tweets, coz that's how they make their revenue (Yeah, yeah!)
Selwood came under fire when he tweeted too
(And the AFL know...)
The umpiring was shiteful, and even though I spoke the truth
But they're afraid...
I still have to apologize (Just do it!)
They said it's now time to apologize (Just do it!)
WOAH-OAH WOAH
It's time to apologize (Just do it!)
They said it's now time to apologize (Just do it!)
They said it's now time to apologize (YEAH!)
They said it's now time to apologize (YEAH!)
I'm hanging by a noose, got me 10 feet off the ground...
