Honey, let me break this down for ya:
– Paul Westphal, the DJ for the Phoenix Suns, reportedly sampled Steve Kerr’s complaint about “thumping techno club music” being blasted during timeouts in NBA games.
– Kerr, Golden State Warriors coach, had expressed his disapproval for the loud music being played during Suns games.
– The Suns’ DJ responded by incorporating Kerr’s comments into a drum and bass track during a recent match up with the Golden State Warriors.
– Fans seem to be loving this audacious move by the DJ, with tweets and comments about the track flooding Twitter after the game.
Alright, strap in folks, here’s my hot take on this country music version of a Western shootout.
To Techno, or Not To Techno
That is the Question
Well, I’ll be a cat in a henhouse, if this ain’t the fussiest thing I’ve heard since Kenny Chesney ran out of beach songs! Now, whatcha got here is a clash of the cultures. Multi-millionaire NBA coach Steve Kerr, known for his tactical genius and prowess with a basketball, finding himself in a tussle with the mysterious spinner of records for the Phoenix Suns, one DJ Paul Westphal.
Turntables at Dawn
Kerr, bless his heart, speaks out about the heart-thumpin’, nerve-jumpin’ techno music rattling the rafters during timeouts…and what happens? Westphal, sly as a fox in a henhouse, takes those grumbled words of protest and spins ’em into a straight-up banger of a track. If that ain’t a power move, I don’t know what is!
So, sugar, the next time you’re at the rodeo and the clown starts blasting “Achy Breaky Heart,” just remember – you could be hearing Steve Kerr’s voice over a bass drop. And as fer me, well, I reckon I’d rather dance to Billy Ray Cyrus any day of the week. Y’hear? But, honey, don’t let this old southern gal tell you what to do, sometimes you just gotta roll with whatever tune life is singin’.
