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).
