This is perhaps the bands most well-known song and propelled the group into stardom, with lyrics such as &#8220;You and me baby ain&#8217;t nothin&#8217; but mammals \/ so let&#8217;s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel&#8221;. It was released in 1999 internationally and a year later in the US and UK. The song was also remixed by Eiffel 65, who also enjoyed a similar short-term success at the time. The music is based on the Pet Shop Boys song &#8220;In the Night&#8221; (the B-side of the &#8220;Opportunities (Let&#8217;s Make Lots of Money)&#8221; single from the album Please), and was reportedly written in 1986, by then 14-year-old Jimmy Pop.<\/p>\n<p>Roster:<br \/>\nMark Anderson<br \/>\nJoshua Brody<br \/>\nDaniel Canarick<br \/>\nToby Carroll<br \/>\nBethany Cocco<br \/>\nJane Cramer<br \/>\nEric Devlin<br \/>\nJamie Goski<br \/>\nHilary Goldstein<br \/>\nAlex Gross<br \/>\nPeter Hanchak<br \/>\nJonathan Hanson<br \/>\nAmy Krawczyk<br \/>\nKelly LeVasseur<br \/>\nBill MacGregor<br \/>\nSylvia Marcos<br \/>\nKerry McGovern<br \/>\nAlex Eben Meyer<br \/>\nElizabeth Moy<br \/>\nChristopher Neal<br \/>\nJennifer Nedbalsky<br \/>\nCate Nolan<br \/>\nC: Martin Olson<br \/>\nDoug Robinson<br \/>\nShannon Roddy<br \/>\nScott Rosenthal<br \/>\nG: Michael Tuckman<br \/>\nKristin Varner<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>COBRA KAI<br \/>\nColor: Camouflage<br \/>\n2006 Regular Season Finish: 2-17-1 (15th place)<br \/>\n2006 Playoff Results: Lost to Mathematics in first round<br \/>\nNHL Team They Closely Resemble: 1984-85 New York Rangers<br \/>\nSynopsis: After playing the first two-thirds of the season as Henry Motion, they changed their name to Cobra Kai, unveiled new uniforms, and over the final third of the season, they played more like a unit rather than a bunch of individuals.  They must overcome the loss of defensive stalwart Brendan \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Flounder\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Hay, and the early season schedule is not kind, with three of the semifinalists from the 2006 season in the first four weeks.

Captain Peter Putka is the league\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s liaison with the Parks Department, and that combined with the fact that their name is partly derived from one of the sites where games are played should result in a home-court advantage for all games played at Corlears Hook Park.  That home-court advantage, however, will not be afforded for games played at Moffo Rink.

The biggest offseason loss was the departure of goaltender John Meyer, although he is still listed on the roster, possibly as a goalie emeritus.  Trevor Tyrrell, widely known as Jesus, will be the main goalie in a rotating goalie system for the 2007 season.  The only uncertainty for the Rainbows is which of the following will be greater: the number of games they win in 2007, or the number of combined appearances by their players at the bars after games.<\/p>\n<p>Roster:<br \/>\nDan Abdo<br \/>\nAaron Behr<br \/>\nJennie Brown<br \/>\nJohn Cassidy<br \/>\nK.C.

If a few more bounces had gone their way, they could have easily finished four or five spots higher in the standings.  They are another team that changed goalies in the offseason, but if they can reverse their luck, doubling their win total from six to twelve is not out of the question.<\/p>\n<p>Roster:<br \/>\nHenrik Carlsson<br \/>\nGabby Carson<br \/>\nRob Carswell<br \/>\nKlara Chan<br \/>\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hacksaw\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jim Dandeneau<br \/>\nJeff Dworkin<br \/>\nNoah Farkas<br \/>\nSara Farkas<br \/>\nSara Fenchel<br \/>\nEllery Gillette<br \/>\nMicael Holmstr\u00c3\u00b6m<br \/>\nAna Hurka-Robles<br \/>\nJeff Kamen<br \/>\nJanica Lee<br \/>\nPeter Maltin<br \/>\nAbigail Meisterman<br \/>\nG: Jim Morris<br \/>\nLena Moy-Borgen<br \/>\nAaron \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Coach\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Pagdon<br \/>\nDanny Polinsky<br \/>\nKaren Rosenberg<br \/>\nC: Adam \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Legend Killer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Rubens<br \/>\nDave Shyu<br \/>\nJoanna Smith<br \/>\nAnthony Spagnolo<br \/>\nZack Tinkelman<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>FILTHY GORGEOUS<br \/>\nColor: Green\/Black<br \/>\n2006 Regular Season Finish: 10-9-1 (9th place)<br \/>\n2006 Playoff Results: Defeated Gouging Anklebiters in first round, lost to Pork Fried Rice in quarterfinals<br \/>\nNHL Team They Closely Resemble: 1991-92 Minnesota North Stars<br \/>\nSynopsis: Filthy Gorgeous, ironically, suffered the most from the creation of the new teams, as approximately ten players from the 2006 roster are playing on either Corlears Hookers or Skyfighters in 2007, as they scavanged the abandoned SF roster.

The name &#8220;Fresh Kills&#8221; refers to its location along the banks of the Fresh Kills estuary in western Staten Island.<br \/>\nOpened in 1948, it became one of the largest refuse heaps in human history. It also achieved the status as the highest human-made hill directly on the East Coast of the United States. It is also seen as being the largest man-made structure on Earth. In fact in 2001 it&#8217;s peak was taller than the Statue Of Liberty. Under local pressure and with support of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the landfill site was closed on March 22, 2001. However, after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, the landfill was temporarily reopened in order to receive and process much of the debris from the destruction. Most of the debris was later removed and sold for scrap.<br \/>\nStarting in 2003, the site was planned to be transformed into reclaimed wetlands, recreational facilities and landscaped public parkland, the largest expansion of the New York City parks since the development of the chain of parks in the Bronx during the 1890s. In January, 2005, Staten Island Borough president James Molinaro announced plans to open three roads leading out of the former landfill to regular traffic, as part of an effort to ease the road congestion for which Staten Island has become notorious in recent years. Construction on the actual park is expected to start after the completion of environmental and last use reviews at the end of 2007. The three-phased development of the park is expected to last 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>Roster:<br \/>\nJennifer Chen<br \/>\nCaroline Currie<br \/>\nShane DeBlasio<br \/>\nPatty Fernandez<br \/>\nC: Kevin Foster<br \/>\nAlexandre Frenette<br \/>\nNicolas Frenette<br \/>\nG: Dave Gil de Rubio<br \/>\nJeff Goldberg<br \/>\nHsi-Yun Hsiung<br \/>\nC: Amy Jones<br \/>\nHeidi Karst<br \/>\nJulie Kim<br \/>\nJeff Lesser<br \/>\nHiromi Moore<br \/>\nPatrick Moore<br \/>\nRaphael Pereira<br \/>\nEugene Rha<br \/>\nB.R.

Much of the old team remains from &#8217;06, with the addition of three promising rookies who join the frontline attack that already features veterans like Chuck DeFranco, Shannon Voto and the team&#8217;s Godfather, Schuie.  On defense, the Anklebiters boast stalwarts Kim Gill, Naomi Gabay and the 6 million dollar Jason Korsakoff.<br \/>\nStill, as frustrated forwards throughout the league know, the team&#8217;s Rock of Gibraltar is in goal in the form of &#8220;Quiet&#8221; Mike O&#8217;Connor.<br \/>\n&#8220;I feel good,&#8221; O&#8217;Connor said recently after a team scrimmage.  &#8220;And I think the team is ready to make a run at this thing (the BTSH Cup).  I mean, really, who&#8217;s gonna stand in our way?  PFR? Overrated.  Unicorns?  Their goalie&#8217;s on the sauce and Showtime wrestles like a girl.  LBS?  Well, let&#8217;s just hope they don&#8217;t get their pretty white outfits dirty while they play.<br \/>\n&#8220;Yup, I&#8217;m feelin&#8217; good about the new season.&#8221;<br \/>\nFamous for being the object of league-wide persecution, the Anklebiters open the year with a clean slate and an empty rap sheet.  Will that continue?  And will they once again outnumber every other team at the Johnsons 3-to-1?  Time will tell, but judging by the team turnout at the BTSH opening party, the Anklebiters should once again dominate the BTSH social scene.<\/p>\n<p>Roster:<br \/>\nMary Abramtsev<br \/>\nAmy Barrett<br \/>\nChristy Cabot-Bini<br \/>\nCharles DeFranco<br \/>\nEric DiPierri<br \/>\nC: Phil Donohue<br \/>\nNaomi Gabay<br \/>\nNick Gardella<br \/>\nKim Gill<br \/>\nMegan Kelly<br \/>\nTom Kornecook<br \/>\nJason Korsakoff<br \/>\nAlex Lowen<br \/>\nMike Menkes<br \/>\nCaroline Morrissey-Bickerton<br \/>\nG: Mike O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Connor<br \/>\nAlex Owen<br \/>\nPete Prohaska<br \/>\nMichael Ross<br \/>\nJeremy \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Schuie\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Schumacher<br \/>\nSeth Shenkman<br \/>\nMatt Tsiang<br \/>\nShannon Voto<br \/>\nZach Weiner<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>LBS<br \/>\nColor: White\/Blue<br \/>\n2006 Regular Season Finish: 13-7-0 (5th place)<br \/>\n2006 Playoff Results: Defeated Tuques in first round, defeated Dark Rainbows in quarterfinals, lost to Pork Fried Rice in semifinals<br \/>\nNHL Team They Closely Resemble: 2001-02 Toronto Maple Leafs<br \/>\nSynopsis: The skirts, collared polo shirts, pound symbol, and general whiteness of their uniforms all scream elitism, but don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let that fool you.

Their alcoholism can be seen as a strength, and as a weakness; the drinking results in a strongly unified team, but also draws attention and focus away from the hockey aspect.  The biggest offseason development for them is the goalie situation, where 2006 starter Rob Gorden and Tim \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Scrappy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Gray will share time in a platoon scenario.  They play with a dogged and tenacious style, so if they can avoid a goalie controversy, they should definitely improve on their 2006 finish.<\/p>\n<p>Roster:<br \/>\nCharles Asch<br \/>\nEric Breitman<br \/>\nMary Brower<br \/>\nScott Brower<br \/>\nJason Cheek<br \/>\nEric Cole<br \/>\nDustin D\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Addato<br \/>\nRitch Duncan<br \/>\nCarine Faveris<br \/>\nKyle Fogden<br \/>\nG: Robert Gorden<br \/>\nG: Tim \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Scrappy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Gray<br \/>\nRachel Greene<br \/>\nJesse Kalb<br \/>\nZ.Y.

One of those returning players is rookie sensation Mike \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Cupcake\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Bartlett, who looks to avoid a sophomore slump.

However, it has been five years since their last championship, and Ed Lau and Gail Bichler, both formerly of Pork Fried Rice, were added as free agents to help obtain that elusive third title.  The Rehabs have all the pieces in place to win that title, with depth and talent at the skill positions and Anthony Romeo holding down the fort in goal, but attendance could be their downfall.

After a one year hiatus the Skyfighters return with a promise to show up for every game.  This is eerily similar to the Southern Methodist University football team receiving the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153death penalty\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in 1987, and not fielding a football team in 1987 and 1988.  After being a perennial contender in the early and mid 1980s, SMU has struggled to reach mediocrity since returning from probation. Will the same fate befall the Skyfighters?

The offseason losses were minimal, with super ref Katherine Brown and 2002 asshole of the year and original team member Scott Daulton being the only major departures.  Only five players (Mike Woodsworth, Amy Farley, Susanna Tenney, Kevin Lutsky, captain Larry Zimmer) were on both championship teams, which should keep the 2007 squad hungry for a third title, and that hunger will be necessary, as every team in the league will bring their A game when facing the defending champs.<\/p>\n<p>Roster:<br \/>\nEmma Arons<br \/>\nG: Roderick Cruz<br \/>\nMichelle Doucet<br \/>\nCeline Dujeux<br \/>\nAmy Farley<br \/>\nJennifer Hale<br \/>\nDarrell Hartman<br \/>\nLaurissa James<br \/>\nErica Lee<br \/>\nKevin Lutsky<br \/>\nTom MacDonald<br \/>\nTara Roscoe<br \/>\nJasmine Sandler<br \/>\nScott Taylor<br \/>\nSusanna Tenney<br \/>\nBrian Vroom<br \/>\nElettra Wiedermann<br \/>\nCorey Winters<br \/>\nMike Woodsworth<br \/>\nC: Larry Zimmer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Eli Kazin of Cobra Kai BAD TOUCH Color: Grey\/Red 2006 Regular Season Finish: 2-18-0 (16th place) 2006 Playoff Results: Lost to Pork Fried Rice in first round NHL Team They Closely Resemble: 1983-84 Saint Louis Blues Synopsis (Courtesy of Wikipedia): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Bad Touch\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is the first single by The Bloodhound Gang off their 1999 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-weekly-reports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.miyagimedia.com\/bruise\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
