I asked ChatGPT to write a song about the Oilers losing the cup to "Cats in the Cradle"


“Cups in the Cradle” (Oilers Edition) 🎶
To the tune of “Cats in the Cradle”
🎵
My boy turned on the TV just the other night
Said, “Dad, the Oilers gonna win this fight?”
I said, “Sure, son, we’ve got McDavid,
The Cup’s comin’ home, yeah, Lord be praised!”
But the first game slipped and the second was tight,
By Game 3 I was stressin’ every night.
They fought real hard, gave all they had—
Then the Panthers scored, and it looked real bad.
And the Cup’s in the cradle and the Panthers roar,
Oilers fans cryin’ on the kitchen floor.
"When you comin’ home with the Cup?" we plead,
But they just skate by with lightning speed.
They just skate by with lightning speed.”
🎵
McDavid skated like a man possessed,
But the puck just bounced like it had a vendetta, I guess.
Draisaitl tried, Nurse gave his soul,
But Bobrovsky stood tall in that cursed goal.
We had the power plays, we had the shots—
But every dang bounce went to the Cats’ side, not ours.
And the Cup’s in the cradle and the dream’s on ice,
The champagne’s warm and the hats ain’t nice.
“When’s next year?” we whisper through the tears,
'Cause we’ve been waitin’ like this for 30 years.
We’ve been waitin’ like this for 30 years.”
🎵
Now my son’s grown up, got a kid of his own,
He said, “Dad, the Oilers curse is still not gone.”
I said, “Yeah, son, but hope’s a wild old flame—
Next year, for sure, we’ll win that game!”
But the puck still slips and the net stays dry,
We just watch that Cup as it waves goodbye.
And the Cup’s in the cradle and the Leafs still moan,
All of Canada cries in a hockey tone.
“When you bring it home?” they ask and sigh,
And we all just laugh, then we kinda cry.
Yeah, we all just laugh... and then kinda cry.
