Lyrics are really more of a guideline, anyway

St. John's is in the middle of competition at the VTV Cup in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Most recently they posted a 3-0 win over the VTV Club team Long An and over Sri Lanka. But that's not the real highlight, IMO.

After the match, the team had massages, ate food, and then did a little karaoke. First to perform was assistant coach Li Chen who did his rendition of "Can't Help Falling in Love," then it was head coach Joanne Persico-Smith, who "changed the lyrics of Billy Joel’s New York State of Mind to say 'a Vietnam state of mind.'"

Look, I know you want to show your appreciation to your hosts, but "A Vietnam State of Mind"? That must have been as smooth as "Christmas is all around us." What is a Vietnam state of mind, anyway? A fresh outlook on socialism?

And did she change the rest of the lyrics?

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the USA
Hop a flight to Hanoi Beach or to Da Nang.
I'm taking jet planes, for a number of lengthy flights-
I'm in a Vietnam state of mind.
