Great video.
If you guys don't like the song, maybe "Going the Distance" by Cake would have worked better.
I like the song, I just have a hard time picturing it fitting in with disc golf.
So
Going the Distance, eh? Hmmm, let's see...
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags goes up,
Churning and burning, they yern for the cup.
They deftly manouver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank,
Wreckless and wild they pour thru the turns,
Their prowless is podent and secretly stern.
As they speed thru the finish the flags go down.
The fans get up, and get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup,
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.
Yeah!
No trophy, no flowers, no flash bulbs, no wine.
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster truck force.
In his mind he's still driving, still making the grade.
She's hoping time that her memories will fade,
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns,
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone, all alone in her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's figting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's figting and biting and riding on his horse!
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance...
The imagery I see in my head from this song doesn't jive at all with disc golf. At least not in it's entirety. Don't get me wrong, I like the song. Other than "going for distance" and "going for speed" the disc golf tie ins are weak. I mean, what in disc golf would serve as "riding on his horse?" This perhaps,
Many years ago, a friend of mine used to race jet skis. We had talked about making a jet ski video with this song. Maybe it's that idea that's clouding my ability to see this song as fitting for disc golf.
To each his own Phil.
The title of the song is the only thing even remotely applicable to disc golf.
