Wyclef Jean
2008
The Australian Open is in full swing. So Sportsong of the Week #72 had to be a song about tennis! It's 'Venus (I'm ready), a serenade to Venus Williams of Grammy Award-winning artist Wyclef Jean from 2008. Wyclef is clearly ready for Venus to win, so hopefully she is as well!

"Her name is Venus.
I'm ready
Ruler of the universe.

I'm ready
To Cleveland and down to Florida
I'm ready
And now the whole world knows about you
I'm ready
I'm just a fan
I hope you read my letter
Sincerely yours wyclef
Ooh, ooh, Ooh, Ooh, oh oh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
