I was really quite pleased with myself when I came up with a song to describe Lewis Hamilton’s love-hate relationship with the stewards to the tune of Phil Collins’ Another Day In Paradise. So I thought I might open up the floor to other people to rewrite songs to describe events in Formula 1.
“Another Day in Paradise” – the Lewis Hamilton remix
He calls out to the man in light blue:
“Sir, can you help me?
I tried to pass, but I got a drive-through
Is there something that you can do?”
He walks on, doesn’t look back;
He pretends he can’t hear him
As Lewis pulls into the pit aisle
With darkened whispers this is a racial profile
Oh, think twice – it’s another day for
You and me in paradise.
Oh, think twice – it’s just another day for you,
You and me in paradise.
He calls out to the man in light blue
There’s been another crash;
You can tell from the shouting
Twenty seconds post-race and counting.
Oh, think twice …
Oh, Lord, there’s internal rhyme, though in not every instance
Oh, Lord, the meter is occasionally a little bit bizarre
You can tell from his fastest lap time
You can see he hit Felipe Massa
His fans will say he’s guilty of no crime
Just don’t mention Paul di Resta.
Oh, think twice …
So, now it’s your turn. Please include the lyrics and a link to the original song so we can sing along.

1st July 2011, 14:31 at 2:31 pm #172800AnonymousInactivePM, your uni semester isn’t over yet? Over here, it’s been officially over with for almost two months now (heck, even the second sessions for both semesters are completely done).
Thanks for sticking that Phil Collins song in my head now. Ugh!
