Below are the lyrics to Frank Zappa's song, Carolina Hardcore Ecstacy
I coulda swore her hair was made of rayon
She wore a Milton Bradley Crayon
But she was something I could lay on
Can't remember what became of me . . .
Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy
She put a Doobie Brothers tape on
(La la la la la-ahh la)
I had a Roger Daltrey cape on
(A Roger Daltrey cape on)
There was a bed I dumped her shape on
Can't remember what became of me . . .
Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy
Somewhat later on
I woke up and she was gone
There was dew out on the lawn
In the sunrise
Later she came back
With a rumpled paper sack
Which she told me would contain
A surprise
She stuck her hand right in it to the bottom
Said she knew I'd be surprised she got 'em
Take a Charleston pimp to spot 'em
Then she gave a pair of shoes to me . . .
Plastic leather, 14 triple D
I said: "I wonder what's the shoes for?"
She told me: "Don't you worry no more!"
And got right down there on the tile floor
Now Darling STOMP ALL OVER ME! . . .
Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy
Is this something new
Having people stomp on you?
Is it what I need to do
For your pleasure?
(Yo' pleasure . . . it's . . . uh . . . uh . . . all I need)
"What is this, a quiz?
Don't you worry what it is
It is merely just a moment
I can treasure . . . "
(What is . . . ?) (You know . . . )
By ten o'clock her arms and legs were rendered
She couldn't talk 'cause her mouth had been extendered
Looked to me as though she had been blendered
But was this abject misery?
No! No!
Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy!
Well . . .
But was this abject misery?
No! No!
Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy!
But was this abject misery?
No! No!
Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy!
It might seem strange to Herb and Dee--
Carolina Hardcore Ecstasy!
It's a song about a guy who ends up meeting a woman who wants him to stomp all over her for pleasure. Seems rather odd and somewhat perverted does it not? Well it is a Frank Zappa song but it's kind of fitting after the day the Winnipeg Jets had.
First let's back track to a tweet from Evander Kane yesterday on the Jets' day off.
Their they are getting pedicures.
Fast forward to today where during the morning skate rookie defenseman Zach Redmond goes down during a drill after taking a skate to the back of the leg above the knee. By all accounts it was a mess and the coach even acknowledged how some of the players were a bit shaken by the scene. REdmond had successful three hour surgery and by all accounts is recovering well but there is still no prognosis but we wish him well.
Not sure there is another foot theme as nothing went off Hainsey's skate into the Jets goal thankfully but this game was a rodeo.
If you read the column earlier today you would have seen that I wanted the Jets to test the 'canes and stretch them out putting some pressure on the defense, a depleted group, with emergency call up Brian Murphy from Kitchener getting his first start.
Well they did that but a whole lot of other things as well in the start. Passes were atrocious and turnovers aplenty as the Jets had trouble getting anything going except Blake Wheeler's shot from wide on the right wing wing which handcuffed Ward and caught the far top corner.
Soft serve describes that one, and perhaps the theme of the night.
Pavelec was no better at times but just good enough to keep his team in the game with some help from the posts.
Mark Stuart showed his character after blocking a shot with his fore arm and wincing his way to the bench were with his glove off we could see the bleeding from the impact.

With just under two minutes left in the period, otherwise known as fire-drill time for Winnipeg, the "canes got back in it when Semin picked Hainsey's pocket on a routine clear up the ice from the left of Pavelec. Staal got the puck sent it back to Semin who at the goal line did a blind behind the back pass that went through a slot the size of a milk carton between Bogosian's knee and skate as he tried to cover Semin. Tlusty slid the puck in the far side past a stunned Pavelec. It was Sedin-like.
With no scoring in the second period the Jets opened the third period scoring when Kane took a shot from down low near the goal line and slid it between Ward and the pipe.
Double scoop, softserve.
Not to be outdone, Pavelec let in one from Staal in the slot on a relative routine shot. However it appears to bounce up and off Clitsome's skate- oh there's that foot theme again, and jsut through a handcuffed Pavelec.
However, in due course as if it was a game in Philadelphia, the Jets came right back with Andrew Ladd getting his second point by scoring from the crease. Little either lost the face off or knocked it forward and LAdd jsut went to where his new office is, the high and low slot, pulled it around Ward and it was 3-2 Jets.
But this game was changing quickly. And Tlsuty tied it up just a minute later as Kane could not win a battle for the puck on the boards against a player with no stick. It got worse from there ans Jokinen seemed to be dangling between nowhere and the defense and lunged as Tlusty skated towards the net as the Red Sea opened slotting one under Pavelec's arm.
Single scoop dropped by the defense.
But this game was not going to be a simple tie and won in OT or the shoot out. No sir that would be two predictable and Frank Zappa was never predictable. This time, just 16 seconds later, Wheeler took the lob pass from Ladd and ripped under Ward's glove and wide of his pads. After seeing the video it looked like Ward was going to do some Gangnam style after the goal the way he had to recover his balance.
The Jets did what they could to hold on even getting a PP to finish the game and keep Carolina pinned in their own end rendering them nearly unable to pull Ward. For the visitors it was a good sign and the negativity clearly being exorcised from the group.
Wheeler with two goals on the night even got a hat tip from the coach post game when Noel said "Wheels... going off and creating his own joy and everything". It was a loose group post game who had to be worried and shaken earlier in the day after the loss of Redmond. Loose is good and perhaps getting your toes done the day before keeps you light on your feet as the Jets had the Wheels going for sixty minutes tonight.
But was it abject misery?
No
