Jimmy Fallon strikes again with his song for SKELETON!!! Sung to the tune "You Remind Me" by Nickelback

Never made it as a luge man
Couldn't hack it on the bobsled, now
You dont have to remind of how I will get hurt
You dont have to remind me

Havn't done it since it since the 40s
Go down a mountain like 50 stories
All the drugs that i'll be takin'
For all the bones that i'll be breakin'

I will cry
I could die
They'll have to find my body at the bottom

These few words in my head
Sayin' don't die don't die don't die on the sled
Yeah yeah
Please don't die on this little sled

So what do you guys think of skeleton?
It looks like fun!! I can't wait to actually see some runs at the Olympics!!! When are they anyways?!?! Soon I hope!!!

I didn't know what Skeleton was until last night when I saw USA win gold in it. I'd heard about the sport a few times as it was mentioned by folks, but I didn't know what it was....then I saw it last night! Sheesh! I thought the luge guys were crazy...now I KNOW who the real crazy ones are. Going HEAD FIRST??? What's wrong with them?!?! I hope they never crash... :kduh:

The scary thing about all of those sports is that, even though all of the athletes are professionals and the best at what they do, at some point they weren't. At some point, they had to take their first run on the Skeleton, or the luge. I just can't imagine hitting that wall if you take a turn too high or if you don't stop well enough at the end can be too fun! But, oddly enough, if you talk to people about those three sports, they will tell you the most dnagerous one is actually the bobsled. The logic is that if the sled tips over your head crashes into the ice. Whereas, with the other two, your center of gravity and body is so low to the ice that a wipe out puts you on the ice quickly and reduces the chances of a serious crash.
