Hatteras Isle Theme Song -- "Hatteras Isle" and Related GP2K1 Post
by SteveM
Hey Dee Dee, Rod, Andy, Edmund (we prob. past each other last night),
and other arriving GPers:Dee Dee...Thanks again for the awesome food and hospitality.
Especially thanks for taking the time to practice the
"theme song." I did a google search to find the song, and
realized what happened with the lyrics....Since the song
has a prelogue before the show, then the show, then the
ending part of the song, I followed that same format in
my post with a summary of GP1 in between the two parts
of the lyrics. You understandibly ended it once I started
posting the summary comments. Anyway, here's the original
post with the summary still included cuz it brought back
some good and funny memories. Just remove the part between
the asterisks, and ya got the whole song. (I expect the
*complete* version to be painstakingly practiced so you
can play it for me with perfection upon my return ;-) j/k )I'm still hopin' to get back down sometime this (sat)
evening...Prob around 8 or 9. I'm bringing my winter
gear....brrrrr. Hatteras may be far enough south to
moderate the temps some, but there calling for lows
in the low 40s and highs in the low to mid 60s here
for the next few days with stiff winds.....brrrr.Anyway, here's the Hatteras Isle post:
"Hatteras Isle"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of an epic trip
That started from this ascii group
Among this surfing crew.The Foon was a body boarding man,
the M@rkster stoked and sure.
Five surfing friends set off that day
For a three day 'palooz, a three day 'palooz.The current started getting strong,
the tiny board was caught,
If not for the strength of his paddling arms
The Mind would be lost, the Mind would be lost.The group scored waves on the shore of this enchanted
barrier isle,
With Foonigan
The Surfsarge too,
The Myron-man..and his darts,
The M@rky M@rk,
The digressor and various plans,
Here on Hatteras Isle.
Ok, here's where the theme song takes a break
and the episode starts. In the place of the episode, I
guess I'll put in some highlights here that don't quite
fit in the lyrics, but I'll still keep them concise:Cool sunset (see pic on the prodigal M@rk's site); clean
head-high to double-o waves; Nice bar/restaurant; Foosball;
The AS Jack Daniels banner; the flying tampon; the
Foonsuite; 4:20; Houskeeping "service"; Bubba's BBQ and
the aftermath; Everyone scoring great waves and good rides
(even I got a few); Surfing performance anxiety; But,
overall, good waves, good times, good friends.Episode over, back to the closing part of the song:
So, this is the tale of the surfing bros,
They're stoked for a long, long time,
They'll always know the best of waves,
It's a joy to ride.The Foonster and the SurfSarge too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
As a General Mitchell guest.The waves!, the sights!, the epic times,
All truely luxuries,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
It's the best that it can be, the best that
it can be.So, join us here each year my friends,
You're sure to share some stoke,
With several surfing newsgroup bros,
Here on "Hatteras *Islllllle*"
