d.: (ring) Hello, ma’am, sir or nonbinary individual. How my I be of service to you today?
Ralph: HI, d.c., it’s Ralph, and I have the lyrics to the new fight song for Houston pro football team.
d.: Okay, let’s hear them.
R.: A one, a two, a one two three four…
“Look out football, here we come, Houston Oilers, number one”
“Houston has the Oilers, the greatest football team”
“We take the ball from goal to goal like no one's ever seen”
“We're in the air, we're on the ground ... always in control”
“And when you say the Oilers, you're talking Super Bowl”
“'Cause we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Number One”
R.: So, what do you think? Do you think the team will buy it?
D.: No, Ralph, I don’t.
R.: Why noooot?
D.: While I agree that the Houston pro football team needs some encouragement after the way they played in their last game, that song has two problems. They all played like this guy.
R.: What are the two reasons that Houston's pro football team won't want my song as their new fight song, then?
D.: Well, number one, the Oilers moved to Tennessee twenty-seven years ago and changed their name to the Tennessee Titans.
R.: Okay, I could change the name of the team…
D.: Also, if you try to sell this song, you’ll be sued for copyright infringement, because this was the Oilers fight song when they were stationed in Houston.
R.: Oh, well, back to the old drawing board, I suppose.
D.: Then, I guess that’s all the time we have for today, folks. Pleas join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner.
