What better way to celebrate the holiday season than by rewriting a Christmas carol and tailoring it to one of college basketball's most successful programs of all time?
So with help from vocalist Amy Woodall, violinist Christine Kuznia (perhaps the greatest player of the 21st century), and executive producer Christian Simpson, we present to you a holiday classic that's sure to bump Bing Crosby and Burl Ives off the airwaves in the Bluegrass State and beyond.
Props to David Glenn Show producer Hayes Permar, who gave me the idea when he did his brilliant P.J. Hairston parody song over the summer.
SN’S OTHER CAROL: Kansas We Have Heard on High
HARK THE HERALD-LEADER SINGS
(sung to the tune of “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”)
Hark the Herald-Leader sings
Glory to Coach Cal’s team
Peace at UK and Rupp Arena
God and Pitino reconciled
Joyful Big Blue Nation rises
To its feet following Randle’s might
With the Harrison twins and Cauley-Stein
Good, good times in Lexington
Hark the Herald-Leader sings
Glory to Coach Cal’s team
We just love Jerry Tipton
Clay and Story, Ben Roberts too
All we need to know about UK
Come from that quartet
Oh yes there’s Kyle Tucker
But he works for that other paper
Yes, you people are crazy
You hear it straight from Calipari
Hark the Herald-Leader sings
Glory to Coach Cal’s team
Who’d we forget? Oh yeah, James Young
Poythress, yes Ashley Judd too
40-0 went in smoke
But a title run’s no joke
Will this team grow up much faster
To raise banner 9 from the rafters
If they don’t let’s hope its not Rick
Seeing Cards win makes us sick
Hark the Herald-Leader sings
Glory to Coach Cal’s team
