Rock for Michael: A Benefit Album to Woo the Greatest of All Time Back to the Court

Good evening, I’m Frank Gifford. The sports world was rocked this week by the surprise retirement of Michael Jordan. In a last-ditch effort to get him to change his mind, many of the biggest names in music have come together to record a hastily put together benefit album. Ladies and gentlemen, rock for Michael. Oh, I’ve seen magic and I’ve seen burn. I saw Kareem retire, but I never said a word. But I always thought I’d see you play one more time again. Yeah, run away might better come back. Got season tickets, can’t get my money back. Don’t you know that you’re so crowd-pleasing? Want to stick around for one more season. Hey, I want to play one more year. Play with all the fans and play for the cheers. Play the Sonics, play the Knicks too. Even the Celtics will still root for you. I’ve seen you score 500 points. I want to see you score 500 points. Just to be the man who can say you saw a man score a thousand points on a basketball. Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan. Oh, yippee-yay, keep Jordan in the mother****** house. Michael Jordan, where you think you’re going with your tongue hanging out on your ball and shoeing? Don’t you know you in a higher class? So come on back before I pimp slap your ***. Please don’t quit yet, Michael. You’re the best dribbler. Who’s flipping gonna pass you? Oh, dear. La-ba-la-ba-dee-da-ba-doo-ga-fish, so boring. Oh, yeah. Play on, play one more year. Play against Isaiah, play against Olympia. Take the basketball, throw it through the hoop. Do a 360 and slam in, Allelu-oo-oo-oo. If you stop playing, you’ll get as big as a whale. Everybody’s playing, everybody’s staying, baby. Michael, don’t forget about your endorsement money. Everybody’s playing, everybody’s staying, baby. Michael, sleep on it. Michael, baby, won’t you sleep on it? Won’t you sleep on it? Give us an answer in the morning. Michael, sleep on it. Michael, baby, won’t you sleep on it? Won’t you sleep on it? Give us an answer in the morning. Play on, play one more year. Both games, the end is very, very clear. Play on, play on. Play on, play on. Play on, Michael. Play on. Play on. Live from New York, it’s Saturday night.
