With the return of the NHL to Winnipeg (it is not known if they will be called the Jets) I thought I'd chime in to some music that all fans Winny would like to hear. And for those of you that don't know these, here are the lyrics.
Back in 1975, debuted a tv series called Welcome Back Kotter. Coincidentally, the show went of the air in 1979, the same year the Jets arrived in the NHL. Here's the theme song, for those unaware!
Welcome back,
Your dreams were your ticket out.
Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.
Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they're turned around.
Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)
Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)
Yeah we tease him a lot cause we've hot him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
Then there is my favourite Nick Nolte movie, 48 Hours. It did more for Eddie Murphy, truth be told. Now, remember the song by the Bus Boys, The Boys Are Back?
We’ve been waitin’ for a long time
Yes, we’ve been waitin’ for a long, long time
We’ve been waitin’ for a long time
But we ain’t gonna wait no more
We’re getting’ ready to rock & roll
We’re gonna - 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3!
Well, there’s a reason everybody should be shakin’ in the house tonight
And you should grab your favorite lady and promise her you’ll do it right.
Tell Fat Jack to jump back and give you a shot of some booze
So you can party to some stomp-down, butt-bumpin’, rock & roll, rhythm & blues.
‘Cause the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town.
I know that everybody when they hear the music will be doin’ it on the floor
Jump up and down they turn around and tell the band to play some more
‘Cause tonight you can dance and romance and do anything you feel like doin’
But don’t look surprised ‘cause you know what I like and tonight we ought to do it
‘Cause the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town. Oh, yeah.
Well, there’s a reason everybody should be shakin’ in the house tonight
And you should grab your favorite lady and promise her you’ll do it right
Tell Fat Jack to jump back and give you a shot of some booze
So you can party to some stomp-down, butt-bumpin’, rock & roll, rhythm & blues.
‘Cause the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
The boys are back in town.
And when the boys are back,
There ain’t no foolin’ around!
