I've always been able to turn out a parody tune, but I've rarely put it to use other than the annual follies-style performance we put on at work for the yearly holiday party. But something about Hillary's recent escapades awoke the muse in me - please follow me below the fold for the new lyrics to "Californication", I don't think you'll be disappointed...
Without further ado:
"I was always opposed to it"
Was her NAFTA characterization
And sniper fire in Bosnia?
Misspoke due to sleep deprivation
What do you call these kind of things?
They're Hill-exaggerations
Her work in Northern Ireland
Peace process prevarication
And her famous Iraq War Vote
Was war hawk equivocation
It's understood that Hillary's camp
Sells Hill-exaggerations
Pay your spin-doctor very well
He'll weave a spell of fiction
Obama's speeches, she'll beseech us
Are nothing but erudite diction
Inevitable
Campaign in trouble
Seems like Hill-exaggerations
Seems like Hill-exaggerations
Family and Medical Leave, a fairy-tale weave
It's her very own fabrication
It's not a slam, she don't give a damn
About party polarization
She passed S-CHIP, or was that a blip?
It's Hill-exaggeration
There's a disturbing trend to no apparent end
Of complete, utter falsification
NARAL can you hear her smears
Of his support for your organization?
And Kyl-Lieberman's not a vote for war
It's Hill-exaggeration
Supporters may not admit it,
but she's getting a reputation
What do you call these kind of things?
They're Hill-exaggerations
Inevitable
Campaign in trouble
Seems like Hill-exaggerations
Seems like Hill-exaggerations
She just keeps on saying these things
It's a personal aberration
She wants to be leader of the world
I think that's an abomination
Obama's got to save the world
From Hill-exaggeration
Pay your spin-doctor very well
He'll weave a spell of fiction
Slicker than the rest
There is no test
But we wonder what she's saying
Inevitable
Campaign in trouble
Seems like Hill-exaggerations
Seems like Hill-exaggerations
If anyone has access to a studio and the talent to sing it, I'm thinking of a video track to accompany it - let me know in the comments, ok?
