Here's my joke about this: everything about this. Thank you, good day.
OK fine, a little more context. Tim Tebow, for those of you too cool to know or trying-hard enough to pretend not to know, is that one main football guy these days. (Not liking sports is on the List for hard btw). He is extremely popular. People were tweeting about him something like 9500 times a second the other night when he played in an American football game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, "the most-watched game of season, the most-watched wild card game ever with 42.4 million viewers and the most-watched TV program since Super Bowl XLV," according to the NFL. In other words, he's a total thing. That's partly because he's objectively pretty bad at football, comparatively speaking, and for some reason people think he's an underdog, which he is in no way, shape or form, as Drew Magary pointed out in this great Deadspin piece.
The real reason people care is because he loves Jesus. More than you probably. More than your grandmother even, a problem which I addressed here in Tim Tebow and the war on Christianity. In short, he's driving the entire country fucking insane. Even people in countries that don't care about football, like British musician John Parr, who'll you remember but probably not from the eighties. He recently re-recorded his 1985 hit song “St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)." Lyrics, (via FOX Denver) below. On second thought I take back what I said about not liking football being on the list. I'm doubling down on my stance for hating music though.
Tim Tebow’s Fire (Lyrics)
by John Parr
Growin' up
Gotta keep your eye on the ball
Gotta keep your eye on the ball
Make it fly,
Give it everything, give your all
But maybe sometimes if you feel the pain
You'll find you're all alone
Everything has changed
Play the game
You know you can't quit until it's won
Soldier on
Only you can do what must be done
You'll find you're all alone
Everything has changed
Play the game
You know you can't quit until it's won
Soldier on
Only you can do what must be done
You know I’m out there
Down on one knee
a prisoner
And I’m tryin' to break free
CHORUS:
I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's
Flyin' higher and higher
a prisoner
And I’m tryin' to break free
CHORUS:
I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazin' sky
I'll be where the eagle's
Flyin' higher and higher
Gonna be a man in motion
All I needs my Broncos team
Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebows Fire
Oooh...
Burnin' up
Don't know just how far that I can go
(Just how far I go)
Soon be home
Only just 4 downs to go
I can make it
I know I can
You broke the boy in me
But you won't break the man
(CHORUS)
Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebows Fire
Oooh...
Burnin' up
Don't know just how far that I can go
(Just how far I go)
Soon be home
Only just 4 downs to go
I can make it
I know I can
You broke the boy in me
But you won't break the man
(CHORUS)
I can see a new horizon
blazin on the Mile High
I'll be where the eagle's
Flyin' higher and higher
blazin on the Mile High
I'll be where the eagle's
Flyin' higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion
All I needs my Broncos team
Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebows Fire
I can climb the highest mountain
These Broncos cant be beat
I can feel St Elmo’s Fire burnin' in me
Burnin' in me
Just once in his life
A man has his time
And my time is now
And I'm comin' alive
I can hear the music playin'
I can see the banners fly
Feel like a man again
Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebows Fire
I can climb the highest mountain
These Broncos cant be beat
I can feel St Elmo’s Fire burnin' in me
Burnin' in me
Just once in his life
A man has his time
And my time is now
And I'm comin' alive
I can hear the music playin'
I can see the banners fly
Feel like a man again
I’ll hold my head high
Gonna be a man in motion
These broncos can’t be beat
Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebow’s fire
(CHORUS)
I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me
Burnin'
Burnin' in me
I can feel it burnin'
Oooh, burnin' inside of me
Gonna be a man in motion
These broncos can’t be beat
Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebow’s fire
(CHORUS)
I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me
Burnin'
Burnin' in me
I can feel it burnin'
Oooh, burnin' inside of me
