Bay Area Artist Celebrates Giants World Series Crown with 'We Are the Champions' Video

After chronicling the 2010 run with Don't Stop Believin, Ashkon dives into the Queen classic for inspiration.

Was the 2012 Election nothing but a brief distraction for your neverending case of Giants Fever?

Ashkon hopes so. The Bay Area artist (@AshkonMusic) reconnected with Portal A for a video recapping the Giants' incredible playoff run, just as he did in 2010 with his version of "Don't Stop Believin.'" This time, Ashkon turned to Queen's "WeAre the Champions" for inspiration. The video was directed and edited by Kai Hasson (@KaiHasson).

[LYRICS]

Down 0-2, after two quiet nights,
Headed out on the road, it felt like goodbye,
Then came a speech, and Vogey was strong,
A Freak in the pen and an MVP slam had us heading back home!

Chorus:
Now we are the champions, my friends...
Cuz we kept fighting, til the end,
We are the champions, we are the champions,
No time for losers, cuz we are the champions
Of the world

Down 3-1, our last hope on the mound,
Pitched the game of his life as we cried #RallyZito,
He made all of us proud,
And our second half hero continued to soar,
A taste of the heavens, we won it in seven as it rained and poured!

-Chorus-

After all that we'd been through, we were finally there,
And all they kept talking about was this damn pitcher, like we should be scared,
But the heart of a Giant, can never be torn,
A Panda ate Tigers for dinner, we swept, and proved everyone wrong!

Alt Chorus:
We are the champions again,
Cuz we kept on fighting til the end,
We are the champions, we are the champions,
No time for DODGERS, cuz we are the champions
Of the world

-Chorus-
