D. Cook Does Not Want Your Life: Rocco & D Man… A Convoluted Tale
Posted on: February 6, 2011
Wow. A lot just happened to me in 10 minutes. I was happy, I was heart-broken, my heart healed, I got real serious, I talked about football (it’s the Super Bowl duh)…and then me and D Man made up.
Let me start from the beginning:
1) I saw on Twitter (because Twitter is the word of Oprah… sorry Facebook.. Mark Zuckerberg can suck it) that ItsMyT1me (my official D Man connoisseur) posted a video of D Man singing “Heroes”. I immediately got excited because I thought it was the Foo Fighter song “My Hero”.
It wasn’t. But thankfully, it wasn’t Mariah Carey’s “Hero” because that would have been too much for me to stand. I’d have to hang my new-found love for D Man on the coat hook to dry.
So anyway… it wasn’t… and not gonna lie, I was a little pissed. His song is good, but I love that Foo Fighter song (which is weird because I’m not a Foo Fighter fan.. more on that later). I decided to post the video anyway… because he’s wearing a treat hat. (Lee D. is mentally *high fiving* both Cook and I at this moment. And yes he reads this. Trust me.)
All good… Did you see the treat hat??
2) In my dismay I silently wondered if D Man has ever done the Foo Fighter song that I originally hoped it was.
I love the “My Hero” song because, and only because, it was in Varsity Blues. And I only like Varsity Blues because, and only because, Dawson Leery was in it, he had an accent and he threw a football at his father’s face.
And the best scene ever. On repeat.
I find excuses to fight with Mamadukes and Big D so I can say “I don’t want your life” (with the Foo Fighter song playing in the background of course). But it’s weird because I say it in that accent… and I’m not southern, at all. Really strange.
So, that’ mainly why I love that song… and D Man loves it too for that exact same reason. I’m pretty sure it’s the exact same reason.
I was going to make fun of him for crying.. but then I realized that’s mean and that would make me a hypocrite because 1) I cry all the time and 2) Lee D. was Mr. Waterworks at one point in his life.. and I didn’t make fun of him.
What I do want to make fun of are his pants… I think I can see the outline of his anatomy. He has jeggins are. What’s with these American Idol guys and their jeggins???
The fact that I can just type in “David Cook” in Google and find him in tight pants at any given time is the problem. That’s not even from the video above… that means he has more than one pair of ball hugging pants. That’s an issue. (sorry that was graphic). And look at his shoes.. he has alligator shoes on again. What am I gonna do with this dude??
I’d like to publicly thank Lee DeWyze (<—- full name… I’m in super serious mode) for never, ever wearing jeggins. You look great in your boy pants.
Anyway… D Man’s hair is A+ in that video.. it’s excellent. Really. It’s superb.
And he does this song a great justice… I’m glad he didn’t F it up… because I would never be able to watch VB again.. and I would never be able to say “I don’t want your life” in an accent again.
Thank you D Man. Thank you for making that song still sound great and epic.
Oh my.

All pants on David Cook become jeggings, whether they started out that way or not. It’s just one of those (fortunate) mysteries of the universe
If you like the Foo Fighters song, My Hero, and want to see “the D Man” do it justice, you might want to catch David’s rendition of the song that he performed on his American Idol top three “hometown visit.” The following is the full performance which was not shown on Idol.
Yes, thank you Lee DeWyze for never, ever, EVER wearing jeggins!! Oh and I totaaly agree Varsity Blues was only good cause Dawson Leery was in it!
that so did not work. lol. please delete…
OMG, I love, love, love this blog! That was the best 15 minutes I spent on line today, reading and watching these videos.
David’s pants are famous. They are currently on display in London and I’m not even kidding! David had women following him all over the country that summer just to see him in those pants (and no, believe it or not, I was not one of them LOL). And that haircut was my favorite of his many hairstyles. I even liked the subtle guyliner he wore on tour. Let’s see. Did I leave anything out? Oh yes, he wears tight teeshirts too. Can you tell I like the guy just a little bit? Oh and I have one more variation on David’s “My Hero” but I have to upload it. YT is not my friend anymore. It deleted all my videos which is why I’m reloading all these old ones. Anyway, I’ll come back and drop off the link to David’s last and best performance of My Hero, a rocking version with his band.
I haven’t embedded a video before so this may or may not work but here it goes… here’s the only time in 154 shows that David sang My Hero on the Declaration Tour.
(oh and if it didn’t work, please delete.
Thanks)
I was there and this was BRILLIANT!
oooo be very careful there. D man’s pant are the things of sweet sweet dreams. We like our Rock Star in jeggins it is the only thing that keeps some of our hearts beating.
If you look at very many pics of D man you realize it really does not matter how tight/loose the pants are they always outline his anatomy. It is his curse (blessing) he must live with. Believe me he has tried to cover it (you can see the shirt tug in almost all videos) but to no avail it has a mind of it’s own. When he sings it sings too!
I too am glad Lee D does not wear jeggins, probably not for the same reasons, but I would like to request that he consider not wearing his pants so low on his ass. It makes his legs look even shorter than they are, causing a very disproportionate look. Not to mention he is coming very close to the “pants on the ground” category. (Sorry I know he is your fav but it had to be said.)
