Politics in Song!


Nothing like a good campaign song!

While Googgling (IBaNAaV) for something completely different, I ran across this little gem:

THE JOHN KERRY SONGBOOK
...where every number is in the key of F!


My personal favorite:
PAINT YOUR BANDWAGON

Away out here we have a name for bloviating liar,
And Kerry knows he gets no gain
From the windbag called “Moore-I-uh.”

Also worth noting:

Uptown Johns
Owned by the unions and the Mafia dons
I bet they never worked an honest day
I bet they quibble over which hairspray
They're almost gay...

JOHNNY THE JOKER
[Tune: "Minnie the Moocher", performed by Cab Calloway]

Well, let me tell you the story 'bout Johnny the JoKer,
A slip-slidin', unctuous o-okey-doker,
He trashes Bush's "incompetency",
But here's the JoKer's global terror po-olicy:

[Choruses--solo vocal/back-up vocal echo]
Jihadi-hadi-hadi-JIVE! (Jihadi-hadi-hadi-JIVE!)
Jihadi-hadi-hadi-JAM! (Jihadi-hadi-hadi-JAM!)
Jihadi-hadi-hadi-SCAM! (Jihadi-hadi-hadi-SCAM!)
You heard he served in Viet Nam? (You heard he served in Viet Nam?)

And especially:

I Am the Very Model of A Modern Kerry Democrat

Kerry :
I am the very model of a modern Kerry-Democrat,
I'm an information animal, a medal-dripping technocrat,
I know the Kennedys of Camelot, and hide my votes historical,
While my Deaniac supporters consult the Usenet Oracle;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters matrimonial,
I understand rich heiresses, and lust for figures patrimonial,
About Republican recessions I'm steaming up my views,
With many bogus facts about the bad news in the better news.

ALL :
With many bogus facts about the bad news in the better news.
With many bogus facts about the bad news in the better news.
With many bogus facts about the bad news in the better news.

What else is there to say? Like my oldest friend always says, the Dems just can't dance. I doubt they can sing either, so I can't see any Anti-Bush site being NEARLY as much fun!!!

Everybody SING!
