I've decided that I want this song played at my funeral

You HAVE to listen to this song. Hogan put out a cd in the mid 90's called "Hulk Hogan and His Wrestling Boot Band."

There's a couple of Hogan rap tracks on the album. It's amazing.

I own this CD. It's the goods. Jimmy Hart does a Buffet-esque song on it that's... just fantastic.

I wonder if someone close to Hogan died around the time of this or was there some other reason this was written? :?:

[Shisen Kopf]

Ok, so next year you want this song played. Got it.

I guess this answers my question

According to Hogan, "Hulkster in Heaven" was written in 1992 in honor of a Make-A-Wish Kid whom Hogan had invited to sit ringside at a show in the UK.[1] When Hulk went out to wrestle, he saw that the seat was empty.[1] Later, he was informed that the young "Hulkamaniac" had died before the match had begun.[1] The lyric "Guess there'll be an empty seat when I wrestle at Wembley," was a direct result of the situation, despite the fact that Hogan has never wrestled at Wembley Stadium, and had not wrestled at Wembley Arena yet at that point[2] (although he would eventually wrestle at the arena in September 1994 for WCW).[3] Proceeds from the album went to help the young boy's family, who was having trouble paying the medical bills.[4]

There's no excuse for that song

In hindsight, that Make-a-Wish kid died for a good cause.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

wow

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

the fact that he thought that song would be a good tribute to that kid is the most sad and funny thing I've ever heard.

[Lock Jaw]

Dunno, I'd be honoured.

Brings a Goddamn tear to my eye.
