I’ve had a song of mine named the number 8 best record of 2006 by blog critic writer, Al Barger, and I’ve had a cameo on an MTV-award-nominated music video by the band, Cake. I’ve also had national airtime and I’ve had a couple of minor internet hits.

But I’ve yet to land a hit as big as Disco Duck. Some say disco, and Disco Duck by Rick Dees, sucks. I agree, but I must add this: It sucks really good!

Yer the new Rick Dees, you are

Oh, don’t bother to answer. I’m sure you’ll be back in a few days, to tell more transparent f*&^% lies about people who haven’t yet had the good fortune to invoke your sympathy through the death of a loved one.”

Somebody needs to take a chill pill. The song lyrics were not meant to be taken that seriously to begin with. Mix a little satire with a little hyperbole, and you’ve got a perfect recipe for such a song. I didn’t have access to a “delete” button, and if I did, I would have deleted them.

Not that I’m ashamed of the song. I’m not. Folks who know me know that I think Obama’s bright, and that I like him, as a person. And I respect the fact that his grandmother died. I thought my song, benign though it may be to all but the most sensitive, tightly wound liberals, wasn’t appropriate given the this deeply personal loss of my opponent.

because, as we all know, if there’s anybody that can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, it’s the dems. or, more accurately, if there’s anybody that we can’t possibly trust to be above board, it’s the republicans.

That’s fucking precious. Is that like ‘admitting they were complete lies, and that I’m a fucking liar for writing them’ taking it back, or ‘pretending I never wrote them for a few days, then back to business as usual’ taking it back?

Oh, don’t bother to answer. I’m sure you’ll be back in a few days, to tell more transparent fucking lies about people who haven’t yet had the good fortune to invoke your sympathy through the death of a loved one.

But look at it another way, if Obama doesn’t win, a huge number of people are going to be pissed and this won’t be anything as mild as the 50% of voters who were pissed in 2004 and threw eggs at Bush’s inauguration caravan. This will be taking pissed off to the streets in huge numbers, not only in America but around the world.

In the minds of the majority (it appears) there can be no other outcome. Even a few wingnuts are voting for Obama. That kinda speaks volumes, too.

R.I.P. My sympathies to Obama and his family. Those who made cruel jokes about Obama’s grandmother’s death, or were cynical about it need to reflect on their behavior. Those kinds of comments make it difficult that any of us will ever be perceived to be compassionate conservatives.

My first try at BLT-style ‘political songwriting’. Whaddya think?

Obamie the Commie

words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008

Obamie the commie

is comin’ to town

he’s measuring drapes

and he’s makin’ his crown

let’s prevent his kingdom

from gaining that ground

Obamie the commie

is comin’ to town

he’ll take Joe the Plumber

and spread all his weath

we’ll never be healed from

the blow that is dealth

if he and his croonies of communism

take over the White House and fill it with friends

He’ll give William Ayers

a high cabinet post

instruct all his commies

to go out in vote

in 2012 and again in 16

his communist plan

and his communist dream

Obamie is comin’

he’s comin’ to shape

a communist nation

with communist states

he’ll tell you his plan

is so grand and so great

but watch what will be all our fate

Obamie the commie

is comin’ to town

he’s got us all fooled

that he won’t drag us down

but I’m not a fool

I will vote for McCain

to make sure this country

stays reasonably sane

Ahh, what a great image. And good audio, too . . .

What will it be, “A Couple of Mavericks” or a Socialist and his Sidekick

I would normally scream at you for talking shit about WbgVa, but I like the idea of East WbgVa too much to be pissed off.
