  • In Honor of Old Yankee – from Hawgcycle

    I asked Chat GPT to right the backblast as a song in the style of Yankee Doodle Dandy. Enjoy.

    (Verse 1)
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee,
    To Wolfpack Mountain, with a thrill, we joined his workout frenzy.
    With 27 Pax, we gathered there, for a celebration so grand,
    For our friend Yankee, beyond compare, we formed a mighty band.

    (Chorus)
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee,
    We did his favorite workouts still, to make him feel quite cranky.
    We exercised with all our might, to celebrate his birthday right,
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee.

    (Verse 2)
    We started with a 4x4x48, just as Yankee desired,
    Four burpees every four, no time to grow tired.
    Side Straddle Hop, a challenging feat, to end in perfect sync,
    Angie’s List struggled with the beat, but we laughed, not a blink.

    (Chorus)
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee,
    We did his favorite workouts still, to make him feel quite cranky.
    We exercised with all our might, to celebrate his birthday right,
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee.

    (Verse 3)
    Imperial Scott Walkers, we marched with pride,
    Bill Buckners, oh, the Red Sox’s ride.
    Climbing mountains, reaching peaks, conquering what we dared,
    For Yankee’s tribute, strong and sleek, his spirit in the air.

    (Chorus)
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee,
    We did his favorite workouts still, to make him feel quite cranky.
    We exercised with all our might, to celebrate his birthday right,
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee.

    (Verse 4)
    A Dirty McDuece, exercises galore, we pushed our limits high,
    Merkins, LBCs, and so much more, reaching for the sky.
    Running laps, up stairs and ramps, the energy burning bright,
    Hawgcycle’s tribute, like a champ, a challenging delight.

    (Chorus)
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee,
    We did his favorite workouts still, to make him feel quite cranky.
    We exercised with all our might, to celebrate his birthday right,
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee.

    (Verse 5)
    Levee to the Chevy, a backwards race, we faced it with a grin,
    Bobby Hurleys, partners switch their place, determination from within.
    To the flag we ran, spirits held high, eight-count body builders soared,
    Yankee’s honor reaching the sky, our bond forevermore.

    (Chorus)
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee,
    We did his favorite workouts still, to make him feel quite cranky.
    We exercised with all our might, to celebrate his birthday right,
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee.

    (Verse 6)
    Yankee Aggressor, Southern Gentlemen’s pride, we gave it all we had,
    With four burpees, side by side, laughter filled the squad.
    In unity, we stood so tall, with gratitude in our heart,
    For Hawgcycle and Yankee’s call, a friendship to never depart.

    Chorus)
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee,
    We did his favorite workouts still, to make him feel quite cranky.
    We exercised with all our might, to celebrate his birthday right,
    Hawgcycle led us up the hill, in honor of old Yankee.
