Randy Newman's "Sail Away"


In America you get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
Ain't no lion or tiger, ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog, sail away with me
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

Not bad.

I actually had no idea Randy Newman existed until I looked him up and saw he did that cool toy story song.

[Crazy-Canuck]

Anything more than 20M per year, you thank him for his services and let him know a jersey retirement and statue is in his future.

[svart]

We should have mutual interest for him to go to the Magic as well.

[EvanZ]

Oh man this is a good one, Sail On by The Commodores:

Sail on down the line
'Bout a half a mile or so
And I don't really wanna know
Where you're going
Maybe once or twice, you see
Time after time I tried to
To hold on to what we got
But now you're goin'
And I don't mind about
The things you're gonna say, Lord
I gave all my money and my time
I know it's a shame
But I'm giving you back your name
Yeah, yeah
Guess I'll be on my way
I won't be back to stay
I guess I'll move along
I'm looking for a good time
Sail on down the line
Ain't it funny how the time can go
Friends say they told me so
But it doesn't matter
It was plain to see that
A small town boy like me
Just wasn't your cup of tea
I was wishful thinkin'
I gave you my heart
And I tried to make you happy
And you gave me nothin' in return
You know, it ain't so hard to say
"Would you please just go away"
Yeah, yeah
I've thrown away the blues
I'm tired of being used
I want everyone to know
I'm a-lookin' for a good time
Good time, yeah
Whoa, sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, honey
Good times never felt so good
Sail on, sugar
Good times never felt so good
Sail on

My guess is that Klay returns next season.

[thunderdunk]

I think the board's consensus is that Orlando should offer him a big number and he should take it. Hopefully the Dubs don't get into a bidding war. I read somewhere that someone was speculating that the Dubs would offer Klay $20M/season for 2 years. Hopefully they don't. As for Klay, hopefully he catches fire in Orlando and wins another ring there. Good for him. Just doesn't seem likely.

[thunderdunk]

Think about the Dubs paying Klay $20M/yr plus the lux tax on that. That would be pure insanity.

[floppymoose]

Can we sing sing sing Klays Orlando trip into reality?

Worth a try...

Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free

I mean, i guess the Australian league is a possibility?

Check out his “Little Criminals” album.

How did you come up with Australian league from that song...

We of the never never?

[DevinVassell]

I'll give little criminals a listen. Always on the look out for some oldschool music.

Oh sorry, right, thats Christopher Cross. Somehow i had a short circuit and was thinking of Little River Band. I was thinking of “Cool Change” which also has sailing references.

[DevinVassell]

Ahh... but yeah cool change works.

Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
And now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change

Channeling Klay...

[floppymoose]

Come, c'mon, c'mon, come oh-oh come into my arms
Oh, let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby, I want you now, now, oh now, oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
Could it be magic?

[whatisacenter]

Here I sleep the morning through
'Til the wail of the call to prayer awakes me
And there ain't nothing at all to do
But rise and follow the day wherever it takes me

I stand at the window and I look at the sea
And I am what I am, and what will be, will be
I stand at the window and I look at the sea
And I make me a pot of opium tea

Down at the port I watch the boats come in
Watchin' the boats come in can do something to you
And the kids gather around with an outstretched hand
And I toss them a diram or two

Well, I wonder if my children are thinking of me
'Cause I am what I am, and what will be, will be
I wonder if my kids are thinking of me
And I smile and I sip my opium tea

At night the sea lashes the rust red ramparts
And the shapes of hooded men who pass me
And the mad moanin' wind, it laughs and laughs and laughs
At the strange lot that fate has cast me

Well, the cats on the rampart sing merrily
That he is what he is and what will, be will be
Yeah, the cats on the rampart sing merrily
And I sit and I drink up my opium tea

I'm a prisoner here, I can never go home
There is nothing here to win or lose
There are no choices needed to be made at all
Not even the choice of having to choose

Well, I'm a prisoner here, yes, but I'm also free
'Cause I am what I am and what will be, will be
I'm a prisoner here, yeah, but I'm also free
And I smile and I sip my opium tea

If they let CP3 walk there is basically no luxury tax.

[EvanZ]

It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
Lazy day in bed music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
I love my sunny day
Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so

[watch1958]

How long till the point of no return?

If CP3 walks and they get nothing, that would be a shame. Means that they (Bob) panicked and gave Poole a big extension, then MDJ had to extricate them from that contract, and they end up with nothing?

I understand addition by subtraction, but imagine if they had traded Poole right after the chip for someone/something actually valuable? That said, gaining cap relief is better than signing the wrong player(s) for the wrong $$$. Which returns us to the discussion on Klay.
