Ground control to Mebrahtom

Take your protein bars and put your singlet on

(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to Mebrahtom (Eight)

(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), Nike's on (Four)

(Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may gods (Blastoff) love be with you

This is ground control to Mebrahtom, you've really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

Now it's time to leave the Kenyans if you dare

This is Mebrahtom to ground control, I'm running through the tape

And I'm crying in a most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today

Here am I waving 'round my big flag, far above the world

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past twenty six point two miles, I'm feeling very still

And I think my Katana 3's know which way to go

Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows

Ground control to Mebrahtom, Let's Run is mad, there's something wrong

Can you hear me, Mebrahtom?

Can you...

Here am I reading lists on Letterman, far above Conan

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do

If you drop a couple of hits of acid and synch video of Meb's NYC marathon run with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", you get some awesome, mind-blowing results.

Cool.

re: Big Smack Junky

I like it. maybe something about red,white, and blue in the "planet earth is blue" line instead. we should convince a musically gifted letsrunner to perform this and put it on youtube.

Were you the one to do "The Ritzenhein Will Not Be Televised" also?

Good stuff

Maybe something like:

"I'm red, white, and blue, but they don't believe it's true."

(If you decide to use that, I'll settle for a mere 10% of the profits.)

or possibly:

My flag is red, white & blue

Not that it matters to any of you

re: Konka

Men has a link to letsrun on his website, I wonder if he's reading all the tributes to his greatness. Somehow I doubt dean k has ever heard of Letsrun
