Hulkster In Heaven

I read it in the paper, I saw it on TV
I guess there'll be one empty seat, When I wrestle at Wimbledy.
I used to tear my shirt, But now you tore my heart.
I knew you were a Hulkamaniac, Right from the very start. (Right from the start)

Chorus: You were my friend, I'll see you again (This is not the end)
When the Hulkster comes to heaven (Heaven, heaven, heaven) We'll tag up again. (Again, again)

The world just lost another Hulkamaniac. (A friend to the end) (I'll see you again)
I wish Hulk's love could bring you back again.
You were my friend, And I'll see you again. (I will see you again)

When I climb back in the ring, You know we'll win this fight.
I wish you were here at ringside, To cheer me on tonight. (Oooooooooh)
The spotlight now grows dim, But now it's not on me.
The prayers we said together, Are still our guarantee.

Chorus

(The world just lost my friend.) (He's my friend.)
You were my friend (You were)
I'll see you again (I'll see you)
When the Hulkster comes to heaven (Heaven. Heaven)
We'll tag up again. (Again)
The world just lost another Hulkamaniac, I wish Hulk's love could bring you back again (Bring you back. Bring you back again)

(You were my friend)

to quote a friend's journal:
"Now I never actually saw this but in my younger days I remember seeing this in an old WWF Magazine (don't ask, I said I was young) a young boy died of leukemia. Which is, of course, very very sad. His favorite wrestler/person in the whole world, as he was to many a person in the 80's was Hulk Hogan (not me mine was Junkyard Dog), and I swear to allah this is true: so the boy's parents had a gravestone/headstone made with a picture of Hulk Hogan posing on it, which I am sure is still there, carved into the stone mind you, with a quote from the Hulkster saying, and again I am not making this up, "Dear xxx I will wrestle you in Heaven." And then there is a big old Hulk Hogan signature on it. And that will be there for as long as it stays up. Thats the memorial they got for their son."

Politically homely (jim in vancouver), Monday, 2 November 2020 21:42 (five years ago)

actually I think there's a few raps

oh my god thanks for reminding me of this

I remember hearing of that line "I used to tear my shirts...but now you tore my heart" and thinking no fucking way is that real

the album is kinda fun. I used to hang out with a band called Beach Patrol that of course got their name from this album

This song is amazing, like too good to be true. Never heard it before.

in all I think the fake horn is the funniest part of the whole song

frogbs, Tuesday, 3 November 2020 04:34 (five years ago)

it's funny how he doesn't hold his notes at all

Lover of Nixon (or LON for short) (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 3 November 2020 04:39 (five years ago)

I don't think the song is very funny, it is definitely really weird and macabre, and also better than it has any right to be.

Cabo Weibo (卡波微博) (Deflatormouse), Tuesday, 3 November 2020 05:39 (five years ago)

The lyrics are great and in particular the word "Hulkamaniac" is so cumbersome and unmelodious.

Cabo Weibo (卡波微博) (Deflatormouse), Tuesday, 3 November 2020 05:45 (five years ago)

I don't find the fake instruments distractng it just feels really DIY and intimate, his vocal is so buried too. The sincerity is a little surprising, like, he's sort of in character but not really.

i remember a cassette copy of this being thrown into the crowd at a show i attended once. was amazed to learn of this release

Not many adult cast members of Mr Nanny (1993) still with us, but good to know Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake is still around.
