For Jackson High’s homecoming last week, super-talented videographer Matthew Robertson (who compiles the Jackson football team’s weekly highlight videos) collaborated with his pal Andy Gay for a goofy, entertaining musical performance.
Gay, quarterback of the unbeaten Timberwolves football team (8-0), shows off his rapping skills in a homecoming-themed video that Gay and Robertson made to pump up fans for last Friday’s game against Mountlake Terrace. In addition to making the edited video, they performed a live version of the song for Jackson students.
Gay’s voice sounds distorted by an Auto-Tune device like the ones used by pop singers and rappers like T-Pain. The lyrics are pretty funny. At one point, Gay raps:
J to the A … C … K … S-O-N. All we do is win.
And later he adds:
Get in the stands … with the fans … and join the crowd … and get real loud.
Besides Gay (who wrote the lyrics) and Robertson (who did the music production), others who appear in the video are Taylor Mead (he does a crazy flip at 2:59), Kevin Anderson, Kiefer Anable, Jake White, Anthony Argueta, and A.J. Coppage.
Here is the video.
