There's been a definite Beatles theme to the titles of some of the posts at Blog for America. Yesterday, we had
Carry that Weight, earlier today there was
Here Comes the Sun. It was just crying out for some parodies.
Georgie Buffoon (to the tune of Rocky Raccoon)
Now somewhere in the dirt ranchin' fields down in Texas
There lived a young boy named Georgie Buffoon
And some troops his Daddy sent off to fight that Sahd'um guy.
Saddam said Daddy's gonna die. Georgie didn't like that
He said I'm gonna get that boy
So as soon as he got to town
Plannin' for a boom in the White House war-room
Georgie Buffoon looked into how soon
He could make his war plans all viable
Condi would come. Her lies they should stun
But Congress was weak and was pliable
Saddam, they said seems to have nucular dreams
And yellow cake purchased from Niger
Anthrax in this vial Powell said with no smile
Oh, my! Would kill bears, lions, tigers...
Buffoon and Big Dummy (who you know as Rummy)
Went onto FOX News with the lowdown
The next thing we saw. Broadcast Shock and Awe
He said Bring 'Em On! This is a showdown
His weapons we sought. Son's killed as they fought.
Saddam in a hole like a spider
Now - Election rolled in. Squeaked thru for a win
Reported the heads on the cable
He claimed a mandate his schemes to push
'Cause he weren't just a one term Bush
So, we'll be invadin' - We'll be invadin' Iran as soon soon as he is able.
Now Georgie Buffoon's apoc'lypse of doom
He said's to be found in the bible
But, Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
Lest be blamed for ol' Georgie B's libel
My Corporate Friends
(to the tune of With a Little Help from My Friends)
What would you do if I started a war,
Would you stand up and vote against me?
Give me 4 years and I'll string you along
'Cause I've found "mission creep" is the key.
I get by with my corporate friends,
Places high with my corporate friends,
Things I'll try with my corporate friends.
Forget the UN. We'll blow Saddam away.
(does it worry you to be alone?)
Co-a-li-tion gets smaller by the day.
(are you sad because you're on your own?)
No I get by with my corporate friends.
Do you need anybody?
I call on help from above
Could it be anybody?
I want all hawks and no doves
Did you believe that they had weapons sites?
I was certain that they had them at the time.
How do you sleep when you turn out the lights?
Deaths don't faze me so I sleep just fine.
Oh, I get by with my corporate friends,
Places high with my corporate friends,
Things I'll try with my corporate friends.
Do you need anybody?
I call on help from above
Could it be anybody?
I want all hawks and no doves
I get by with my corporate friends,
Yes, I got high with my corporate friends,
Things I'll try for my corporate friends.
With my corporate frieeeeeeeends!
