"We feel that all life experience can be related through the hockey metaphor."

Watching the Zamboni brings out the rugged individualist. The machine is the ultimate off-road sport utility vehicle. It shaves, it cleans, it leaves a glossy finish, it grabs attention. It manages to retain an aura of mystery. The Zamboni has inspired key chains, license plates that read "My other car is a Zamboni" and song. David Letterman mentioned it in a Top Ten list and has driven an ice resurfacer for his show. A growing number of artists use it as a muse, including cartoonist Charles Schulz. Martin Zeller, former lead singer of The Gear Daddies, penned the now infamous "Zamboni" song; this version is performed by the masters of niche marketing (in the category of...hockey music?), The Zambonis. The Zambonis has reached cult status. The band played in Denver, supporting the Avalanche during the 1997 Stanley Cup semi-finals. Their music and appearances live on. The audio excerpt of "The Great Zamboni of Devotion" is a song from The Zambonis' album, "Play-Off Fever." |

The Great Zamboni of Devotion |

Seems I wait all day for this Dare I dream of just one kiss Feels like I've been banged against the boards Zamboni goes around and around Stomach just won't settle down I've been here a hundred times before I want to ride that great Zamboni of devotion The rink will make those feelings disappear And your love would be nice While the Zamboni goes around the ice... That great Zamboni is you my dear! |
I want to ride that great Zamboni of devotion The rink will make those feelings disappear It's the price that I pay For those hockey head game that you play... That great Zamboni is you my dear! I want to ride that great Zamboni of devotion The rink will make those feelings disappear Oh, how I wish I could be the mustard on your knish... That great Zamboni is you, my dear! |
