First there was Johnny Bower with Honky the Christmas Goose, then there was Guy Lafleur’s famous disco album. That was followed by the famous, or infamous Alex Ovechkin rap song. We’ve seen the San Jose Sharks and many other teams do parodies of Christmas albums. Also who could forget Matt Lashoff’s album?
Then there are the hockey tribute songs, 50 Mission Cap and the Lonely End of the Rink by the The Tragically Hip; The Ballad of Wendel Clark by the Rheostatics; Clear the Track here comes Shack; and many others.
Now a new NHL superstar (he was voted a starting all-star, so he’s a superstar) is being honoured with a rap song. Yes folks, Latvian rap group OLAS have released a song called Zemgus Girgensons.
LWOS’ own Aivis Kalniņš (twitter @LWOSShakcc) has translated the song’s lyrics into English for us. The song celebrates Zemgus’ Girgensons getting voted into the NHL all-star game.

Who’s the one with a lot of money? Zemgus Girgensooons
Who’s the one which word are we shouting? Zemgus Girgensooons
I am so clean,
I am so white,
I am so free,
I am so young
I enter a club and drop some cash
Just like Zemgus Girgensooons
Sit on a sofa, my foot on the table,
I don’t care if anyone is in front me
Go through the club and have a shot
Just like Zemgus Girgensooons
You saw me, i am in front of you baby
You like my songs, you want to be near me
You come at me but i deke right by you
Just like Zemgus Girgensooons
I see the coolest chick in the club and say
I’m your destiny, Yo
But she says i’m not as famous
Just as Zemgus Girgensooons
Zemgus Girgensooons Zemgus Girgensooons Zemgus Girgensooons Zemgus Girgensooons
Am i calm? Am i precise? (Yeah, yeah)
Shooting right in the aim,
Money in the pocket
Chicks, BMW, money and everything
Always i’m ready just like it was a derby
Nation is crazy and that is my background
I am like Girgensoons
Don’t judge me cause i don’t care
Believe me, bro Nobody belives you
There is no faith in you
I am still a son
I am the style
I am free
Eggs are in the house and your legs are quivering
Girls are dreaming while cooking eggs in the oven
You’re making me laugh when you say that your fierce opponent
You can’t beat me while i’m alive
Girls dance, million in the bank,
Soon they will play my music everywhere
I’m not a copy but i have one clone No other than…

We have no doubt that this is another NHL inspired hit (at least it will be in Latvia, judging by their all-star voting patterns).
