Parody Time

Times are very tough right now. The financial world is spinning out of control, the stock market is plummeting, mainstream media continues their biased coverage of the election, the devastation is unending in TX, Brady’s injury has ruined many football pools and things all over appear to be in trouble. So it seems to me that everybody (or at least conservatives) could use a few chuckles.….

A friend of mine recently asked me if I knew about the Capital Steps, a group that sings political parodies. Not only was I aware of them but I made sure that I saw their show the last time I was in DC. Plus what my friend could not have known is that for the past thirty years, before I had even heard of the Capital Steps, I was writing funny parodies to popular songs and poems to commemorate family occasions.

This summer I tried my hand at writing my first political parody. One of my inspirations was the fact that I’ve always thought that Barack’s name sounds like what a chicken says. Barahck Barahck. Silly, I know. As I wasn’t sure how that would go over I just tucked my song away. But thanks to my friend, and the need for a bit of silliness to offset all the bad news I decided to actually print it. So, this one is dedicated to you, Jim and I hope everyone enjoys it.

Since I can’t sing, you will have to hum to yourself as you read my parody to Bad Bad Leroy Brown. (To see the words to the original song click here: (http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/homealone3/badbadleroybrown.htm). With deepest apologies to Jim Croce here is my parody to Bad Bad Leroy Brown

Barahck Barahck Barahck Hussein

ln the South side of Chicago
Is the elitist guy I know
Yes he’s a Harvard man
With a really dark tan
Barahck Obama is that bro

Now Barahck runs from trouble
You see he stands against our war
All the blue state liberals call him "Détente Lover"
All the red states call him girl

And it's Barahck Barahck Barahck Hussein
The wimpiest man in the USA
Wimpier than old Al Gore
And scarier than Michael Moore.

Now Barahck he a chicken
‘Cause he vows to leave Iraq
And he likes to wave a big white flag
In front of Islamic attacks
Though he acts so presidential
He got no experience at all
He’s got the media in his pocket, for sure
But we’ll still vote McCain this fall

For its Barahck Barahck Barahck Hussein
The wimpiest man in the USA
Wimpier than old Al Gore
And scarier than Michael Moore.

The primary bout a month ago
Barack lookin’ fine
When from the edge of our country
Came a girl named Sarah
And oo that girl did shine
Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the troubles soon began
Cause Obama learned a heapin’
Bout keepin’ all the votes of the common man.

And it's Barahck Barahck Barahck Hussein
The wimpiest man in the USA
Wimpier than old Al Gore
And scarier than Michael Moore.
