Really cute/clever redone song lyrics about our hobby! Because You Know I'm All About That Base!

Because You Know I'm All About That Base!
Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't got no one-of-ones,
But I got all the junk wax sets in all the right places!

Jukebox Junkie (Ken Mellons; one hit wonder?):
I'm just an old baseball card junkie (I originally thought he said "jockey")
Spendin' my time, spendin' my money
Feeding these albums with hardcore baseball
I'm just an ol' baseball card junkie
I can't stand it here without my local card shop
I keep slidin' my Visa, in the slot
So I can buy every set from Bowman to Upper Deck
I'm just an ol' baseball card junkie!

Strawberry Wine (Deana Carter):
Strawberry rookie
Ten years old
Christmas morning
Saw in my stocking
My first big rookie card
(I'll let you guys fill in the rest)

Talkin' Softball:
We're talkin' UK basketball
From Lexington to Louisvlle
We're talkin' UK basketball
From Ashland to Paducah
Adolph Rupp, and his four shiny silver cups
Joe B Hall, with title number five
We're talkin' Rick Piteeeeeeeeeenoooo...
Tubby, Cal, and Pope!

Basketball (Kurtis Blow and later Lil Bow Wow):
Tell me were you in the joint, the night the Goose scored 41 points?
When Rupp's Fab Five won titles back-to-back
They didn't cut, no kind of slack!

Speed (Montgomery Gentry): (my other main collecting hobby)
I'm tired of these clunky 8-bit games
I need to find a system that's true 16-bit
I need to get one pretty quick
Hey mister, what you got out on that shelf you can sell me on sale?
Maybe one of them new next-gen consoles
The kind that makes you think you brought the arcades home
Color palette don't matter, no I don't need no Mode 7
All that really concerns me is:
Speeeeeed, an' how fast can it go
Can it get me over da loops quickly
Blast processing, can it outrun that fat plumber?
Yeah, what I really need
Is a blue hedgehog
An' a whole lot of speeeeed

I love it!

I'm not saying you should quit your job and move to Nashville, but I DO love it!

And, you know I'm all about that base sets! (though I do love the early-mid 90s sets and the "regular" Hertiage ones and those 80s Topps Glossy Send-In/All-Stars). Yeah, it's pretty clear, I ain't got no one of ones! But I got all the junk wax sets in all the right places!

Cool!

I can see someone writing a song to Dylan's Where have all...

"Where have all the set collectors gone?"

There was that one song called "Where Have All The Cowboys [collectors] Gone?" Where is my Troy Aikman...where is my Roger Staubach...where's my Emmitt Smith...where have all the Cowboys gone? And BTW, this here is the BEST..."slideshow music video"...of a Cowboy song...EVER. Especially how that pic of the little boy in the oversized Cowboy helmet matches with the lyrics...he did indeed "grew up dreaming, of being a Cowboy!"
