Ever since I heard this song title, I can't stop singing "We like Sportz" by the Lonely Island https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEVdca9U9LM&feature=kp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Imagine an anthem to golf, tennis, chess, curling and (most likely with Al) bowling, in the style of stadium glam rock! 8)
While I'm not the biggest KISS fan, I would love to see an arena-rock themed anthem about curling, chess, Quidditch, or other nerdy/obscure "sports". I think that'd be the way to go, rather than a repeat of the Garfunkle and Oates song (which I don't think could be improved on if it's the same topic.)
Well, within Harry Potter, Quidditch actually is a big stadium sport. So while it's nerdy it wouldn't really be ironic. But yeah, I'd love a big ballad about sports like curling, chess, bowling, etc. Sports that typically aren't associated with epic arenas.

True, but there are people that actually do play quidditch (minus the flying) so that brings it back down to incredibly nerdy and not a big stadium sport

Decent song, I like the target and the idea but this feels like it was on the cutting room floor of his debut album.

I'm not a huge fan of this one after the first listen. It feels pretty generic and not at all current. Hoping it will grow on me as I listen to it more and more!

There was something very Tom Lehrer-esque about this song. Or maybe it just reminded me of "Fight Fiercely, Harvard" because of the genre.

When I heard this, I kinda thought of "Harvey The Wonder Hamster" - anyone else?
