Guy Lafleur : Disco King
Monday, August 13, 2007

From his association with Pfizer Canada's erectile dysfunction products to his role as spokesperson for Hairfax (think hair restoration), Guy Lafleur has never shied away from endorsing products that might make his legions of fans feel a bit uneasy. Yet, those ventures pale in comparison to the disco album The Flower decided to release in 1979. The premise was simple, mix hockey tips from Lafleur himself with disco music. CBC went way back into its vault to unearth this gem of a report on the album's release.

A bit of research even turned up an mp3 track from the album. The song is called "Scoring" and, from start to finish, it sounds like one big sexual double entendre certain to rape a few of your childhood memories with lyrics like these:

Once you have mastered a good shot, you must learn when to use it
It's important when you practice your shots to always shoot towards the target
Remember that backhand shots are more difficult because of the curved stick

[chorus]
Yes you can do it
You know you can do it
Baby all you gotta do is try
