I and I caught “Eight Men Out” on cable tv, and then captured this still of John Sayles, as Ring Lardner, singing a parody of “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles” (by Burr and Campbell, 1919, Tin Pan Alley thing):
I’m forever blowing ball games;
Pretty ball games in the air;
I come from Chi;
I hardly try;
Just go to bat and fade and die;
Fortune comes my way;
That’s why I don’t care
I’m forever blowing ball games;
And the Gamblers treat us fair.
Youtube has an authentic version of the song; interestingly, the British football club West Ham does a version of this, I also found.
