Jarvis Landry parody (Dirty Laundry)

So I went down to the Steelers/Browns game yesterday.  Not much happening.  Tailgating scene was a pathetic joke.  Heinz Field attendance ended up being 5,260.  No tickets, no freebies, no action, no nothing.  Just me and my wine.

But I did see a Jarvis Landry jersey and it got me to thinking.  Jarvis Landry?  Where have I heard that name before?  Where have I heard that syllable progression before?  Oh yeah, Don Henley's solo mega-hit from the early 80's.  Dirty Laundry!  Catchy, unforgettable rhythm.  Easy lyrics for a parody.  

And Saffy thought to himself... so let it be written, let it be done.

JARVIS LANDRY

He makes his living off the N-F-L
Just throw him passes, passes he can sell
Even though the Browns all smell
They love Jarvis Landry

Well, he coulda been a winner, but he wound up here
Factory of sadness, there’s nothing left to fear
Throw a spiral over here
Give us Jarvis Landry

Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high

Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch electrify

We got the Jimmy Haslam owner
Who owns Flyin' J
He can tell you ‘bout his truck stops, pumpin’ gas night and day
We hope some day he’ll go away
Give us Jarvis Landry

Can we call for arbitration?
Is the contract set?
You know, the clowns in the press box have a gambling debt
Post it on the internet
We need Jarvis Landry

(Guitar solo)

Can you smell what Baker's cookin', burnt sauerkraut?
His team, they really stink, has there ever been a doubt?
Still he grabs it on his rout
Eat your Jarvis Landry

Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high

Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Smoke another joint
We could use a bye

Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high

Catch ‘em when they’re low
Catch ‘em when they’re high
Smoke another joint
We could use a bye

Dirty little Brownies
Ugly group of guys
They got their silly little jerseys that look like pumpkin pies
Their coaches do not heed our cries
We love Jarvis Landry

There’s no room for innuendo
Yinz all whine and bitch
When the game is done, they will have dug their own ditch
We all know he’s super rich
Give us Jarvis Landry
