I was goofing off on the interwebs and came across the classic Kids in the Hall sketch "The Daves I Know". You can watch it below.
The next step was fairly obvious. Please enjoy my personal version of the song. I left out a couple. Kinda thought there would be more, though.
Hi, I’m rob. I’d like to tell you about the Daves I know.
These are the Daves I know, I know.
These are the Daves I know.
These are the Daves I know, I know.
These are the Daves I know.
Dave Pellicane, he teaches kids Shakespeare
Writes a sentence every day, has for 20* years
*ish
These are the Daves I know, I know.
These are the Daves I know.
These are the Daves I know, I know.
These are the Daves I know.
Dave Fairbank was an ink-stained wretch
Spends his days combing the beach, teaching his pup to fetch
CHORUS
The great Dave Flynn, he was larger than life
Saw the Pogues, met his kid, just don't tell his wife
CHORUS
Dave Milhiser, you guys don't know him
He's my high school buddy, realtor and a gem
CHORUS
David Robinson, of that name I know two(!)
One is my uncle, the other teaches school (college, that is)
CHORUS
Daves Lazorchak and Bucciero, a pair
Soccer coaches (school and club), definitely care
CHORUS
David Lau, a Lammie from the past
Don't remember lots when I saw him in Hoboken last
These are the Daves I know, I know.
These are the Daves I know.
These are the Daves I know, I know.
These are the Daves I know.
My middle name is David, and my extended family roster contains a dizzying number of Davids and Kates.
ReplyDeleteMy niece Katie is engaged to marry another Kate next June. I've had to ID the latter as "Katie's Kate" before, which seems kinda wrong.
Discussion of Daves really gets the conversation popping here, eh?
ReplyDelete"these are the daves i don't give a shit about", i guess
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the lyrical shout-out, rob
ReplyDeleteHi, Daves!
ReplyDeletethese are the daves rob knows!
ReplyDeletein third grade, there were five daves in my class-- but these days, not so many daves abound . . .
ReplyDeleteAnd Rob's recent procedure has stopped his ability to contribute to making more Daves.
ReplyDeleteStupid office episode: Back in the day in our newsroom sports department at one point we had five guys named Dave or David. At times, we just referred to everybody as Dave, even the women, who went along with it or just tolerated our dumbassery (more likely).
ReplyDeleteThe Lady Daves
ReplyDeleteLike the Bruces MP sketch
ReplyDeleteIs your name not Bruce?
No, it’s Michael.
Mind if we call you Bruce to keep it clear?
When Bill Keith the banjo player joined Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys, Monroe renamed the banjoist 'Brad', since they already had a Bill in the band.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's the two Johns in They Might Be Giants. And their respective dressing rooms, presumably.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Johns, sort of - Rke. County Police raided a number of massage parlors here on Monday, making 13 arrests.
ReplyDeletePhotos were released of 11 of the women charged (Asian women, aged 35-62), and all are being held without bond.
Two men were arrested and cited as well, but their photos were not released. One of them was recently a city council candidate for the gop.
I lived with another Mark in college. Luckily we both largely went by out last names- the other Mark's last name was Roberto but we shortened it to Berto. TJ has met this man and will never, ever forget it.
ReplyDeleteRELAX, GUY
