http://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/players/lionel_richie/88291 Recent articles about Lionel Richie en-us (Eileen Blass-USA TODAY Sports)   I had a dream. I had an awesome dream. With apologies to Lionel Richie (who thinks playing games in the park is an awesome dream), I woke up this morning (editor's note - Friday morning) with the knowledge that for the second straight year Duke would lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The dream that I had included Seth Curry struggling and Mason Plumlee getting in foul trouble. So I am going to watch the first round game against Albany and live-blog it. I know that live-blogging has been usurped by Twitter and it isn’t something I have tried before, but I am going to give it a shot.

This one features the Brazilian Blur, Leandro Barbosa, on lead vocals as the Suns sing Lionel Richie's,"All Night Long." Barbosa linked to the video on his twitter today and mentioned how this was "My 15 minutes of Fame as an actor!!!" So does Barbosa have a singing career in his future? To me he sort of sounds like a sheep. Not a sheep, as in a follower, but literally like a sheep.

Not sure where they come up with this stuff, but it's not bad. The voice sounds a little like Joaquin on the Mike and Mike in the Morning radio show. H/T Ball Don't Lie.

He may have garnered the label of “coach killer” when he escorted Mike D’Antoni out to the curb. Fans were starting to become very tiresome of the underachieving star. Then he started to dominate and is leading the Knicks into the playoffs without the help of Jeremy Lin or Amare Stoudemire. Now Knicks fans adore Melo, so much so that they’re loving this Melo painting and making parody songs of the deadly scorer. Enjoy “Melo Is it 3 You’re Looking For?” the Carmelo Anthony tribute set to Lionel Richie’s work of art, “Hello.” Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:27:45 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/the_carmelo_anthony_lionel_richie_song_you_didnt_know_you_wanted_video/10594873 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/the_carmelo_anthony_lionel_richie_song_you_didnt_know_you_wanted_video/10594873 The Carmelo Anthony Lionel Richie Song You Didn’t Know You Wanted (Video) http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/the_carmelo_anthony_lionel_richie_song_you_didnt_know_you_wanted_video/10594873 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/0/c/0c04b4fc8a0a87a24e188fe625d24be751d68272/mini/nba-preseason-denver.jpg Wow, the car companies are really bringing it this year.  Toyota joins the fray with some ideas for reinventing a few things just as they claim they have reinvented the new Camry. Here is the commercial:   So, to recap, Toyota has reinvented the following: The couch: Decent idea, and I like the sentiment, but it seems like it would be uncomfortable in either the male or female style. The police officer: Totally on board with this one. The baby: A baby that doesn’t poop and is a time machine?  Yes, please. The DMV: Definitely in need of some upgrades, so this is a healthy start. The blender: Plays Lionel Richie, which is better than blender sound, but I would prefer the Phil Collins model. The plant: I’m worried about the plant’s ability to discern criminals from non-criminals. Curtains: Made of pizza?  If they are scentless and somehow stay fresh and hot forever I would pay up to $6000 for those. Rain: Who couldn’t use an easier weight-loss plan?  Sign me up.

Someone grabbed clips from countless movies to remake Lionel Richie’s “Hello”, a classic love song that has no business being remade. Nonetheless, this is an incredible work of montage genius.

Wait, what? Yes, the classic All Night Long, Lionel Richie’s catchy 80s smash hit, is the song of choice for the Nashville Predators locker room celebration tune, which may seem odd seeing that the majority of Predators players were either unborn, or, at best, toddlers, when the song was released way back in 1983 (the lone exception being 36-year-old elder statesman Francis Bouillon). Dated or not, it’s hard to argue with the Preds taste in music, because All Night Long has everything you’d want in a party song—an infectious Caribbean beat, a chorus that’s fun and easy to sing along with, and the silky sweet vocals of the great Mr. Richie.  Honestly, I defy anyone to come up with a better song for a group of burly, sweat-soaked h...

The team wins, files into the room, somebody plugs their iPod into the speakers and cranks up the volume. And there was much joy. The Minnesota Wild were using "The Dog Days are Over" by Florence + the Machine last season, thanks to DJ Kyle Brodziak. Thanks to HBO, we know that the Washington Capitals were pumping fists to "Beat Dat Beat Up" by DJ Pauly D. The Nashville Predators play in the cradle of honky tonk. Yet their locker room celebration song is … Lionel Richie's "All Night Long"? From Josh Cooper at The Tennessean: The origins of the decision to play the song are murky at best. Jerred Smithson's iPod is used for locker room music. But Smithson said he takes suggestions from players for songs, and mentioned goaltender Pekka Rinne asked Smithson to purchase it. Rinne denied these rumors. "It was kind of a fun song and it got everyone in a good mo...
