"Hit Somebody! (The Hockey Song)" is a song on Warren Zevon's 2002 album, My Ride's Here. It was written by Zevon and Mitch Albom. The repeated line of "hit somebody!" is said by long time friend of Zevon and television host David Letterman. It is one of Zevon's longest songs. The song is a parody of violence in ice hockey. The song is about a Canadian farm boy named Buddy, who started playing hockey at age nine and has a deep love for the game. However, he wasn't any good at the sport. What he was good at was hurting people on the other team. This lead him to be the team's "goon" on all the youth hockey teams he played on, until he got the attention of a scout from the Calgary Flames. Buddy spends his entire lengthy professional career as hockey's greatest goon (with a penalty box throne), but grows to long to actually play the sport.

Featured quote

"I don't remember stardom with any longing, it was a brief opportunity to be rude: 'Fire that opening act. I don't like the way he looked at me.' My success was a fluke. I was a folk singer who accidentally had one big hit."

Warren Zevon considering his brief time in the Spotlight.
