Question To Readers About Song Links
Could you folks please help us out by participating in the poll below?
We want to make it as easy as possible for readers to sing along with posted song parodies. That is the reason that we have posted a link to the original song whenever a song parody is posted. Our hope is that if a reader is not familiar with the original song that the parody is based upon, or if the reader is familiar with the song but presently cannot quite remember how the tune goes, he/she can select the link and hear the original song which will appear in a new window. Our question is, would you prefer that the original song link be played with the original lyrics, or would you rather it be played as an instrumental version?
Here is an example of both versions to accompany The Palins as sung to The Flintstones TV theme song.

THE PALINS
(sung to the theme of “The Flintstones”)
Palins. Meet the Palins.
They’re a modern backwoods family.
They’re just like the Clampetts,
From a town as small as Mayberry.
Let’s fly with the Johnstons down the street,
Through the courtesy of Oxy-C.
When you’re with the Palins
You’ll have a drunkin’ driving good time
Live off the state dime
And they’ll be no school time.

Sarah Palin Boob Tube Themes – 6
This photo reminded me of the old 1960′s Patty Duke Show so, here comes the parody…

THE SARAH PUKE SHOW
(sung to the theme of “The Patty Duke Show”)
Meet Barbie, who lives in Sarah’s head
At least she’s not in Levi’s bed
But Sarah’s only seen Russia
And once or twice an oil gusher–
Neither one’s well read!
She’s got dozens
Multiple per-son-al-it-ies
One is a lipsticked pitbull
One is a winking tease
Barracuda once sold the Guv’nor’s jet
With Putin she wants a tete-a-tete
Pontius Palin was in a witch mass,
An ev-an-gel-i-cal jack-ass–
Whet a wild duet!
She’s got dozens
Multiple per-son-al-i-ties
They wink, they blink, like Colonel Klink
At times they even dress in mink—
She has lost her mind
Because Sarah is twelve of a kind!
Inspired by BigPete
This one is for you, BP.

BACKASSWARD WOMAN
(sung to the Santana song “Black Magic Woman”)
She’s a black magic woman
She’s a black magic woman
Todd’s got a backassward woman
Got us so blind we can’t see
Sarah’s a black magic woman
And she scares the bejesus out of me
Don’t turn your back on this lady
Don’t turn your back on this lady
Yes, she looks like Rosemary’s Baby
Wants Alaska to secede
Don’t turn your back on this lady
Unless you are with the A.I.P.
A witch mass going Palin
A witch mass going Palin
Yes, she’s a bitchy Sarah Palin
Repeating, “Drill Baby Drill”
She likes sacrificial nailin’
But no birth control pill

OUR SARAH SHOULD KNOW
(sung to the Beatles song “Your Mother Should Know”)
Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before Sarah Palin was born
Though we all wish that she’d just up and go
She really does blow (she really does)
She really does blow
Sing it again
Let’s all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before Sarah Palin was born
Though we all wish that she’d just up and go
She really does blow (she really does)
She really does blow
Give her a wink and pass her the bong
That Todd’s sister fired-up real early this morn
Sarah Palin should learn to “Just Say No”
Our Sarah should know (our Sarah should)
Our Sarah should know
Our Sarah should know (our Sarah should)
Our Sarah should know
Sing it again
Da da dada da da da dada dada dada da da
Da dada da da
Though we all wish that she’d just up and go
She really does blow (she really does)
She really does blow
She really does blow (she really does)
She really does blow
She really does blow (she really does)
She really does blow
Ye-ah
What’s My Religion?
Whatever happened to “separation of church and state”, and why does Sarah Palin take every opportunity to invoke the topic of religion into her public remarks? Most recently, on May 16, 2009, Palin’s remarks about Barack Obama’s receipt of an honorary degree from the University of Notre Dame were quoted on freerepublic.com. She took the obligatory Christian-Right-Conservative-Republican approach of bashing the Catholic university’s decision to both honor the pro-choice Obama with the degree and invite him to deliver the commencement address. Palin said,
My favorite grandpa, Clem James Sheeran, was Catholic. Irish to the core, his favorite place (other than church) was Notre Dame. I can’t imagine what he would think as the university recognizes someone who contradicts the core values of the Catholic faith by promoting an anti-life agenda. As we learned today, our nation is more pro-life than ever before; it is a very important time to strengthen the message that every baby is created for good purpose and has the potential to make this world a better place,
Ms. Palin however, was silent as to what Grampy Sheeran would have thought about some of the other Notre Dame commencement speaker/honorary degree recipients. For instance, where was the outrage in 1995 when the honor was bestowed upon the pro-choice Condoleezza Rice? Or, in 1992 and 2001 when the degree was granted to pro death penalty advocates, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush respectively ( the Catholic Church denounces the death penalty)? It seems that Little Miss Sunshine only concerns herself with adherence to Catholic doctrine when Democrats are involved. Big surpise there.
Also, just wondering, but if her “favorite grandpa” was a devout Roman Catholic, how did Sarah end up being a pentecostal member of the Wasilla Bible Church? And what became of the days when she had witches expelled from her body?
Oh well, just another crazy day in SarahLand. Let’s have a song…
Rich Girl link: http://users.cis.net/sammy/richgirl.htm
WITCH GIRL
(sung to the Hall & Oates song “Rich Girl”)
You’re a witch girl, up in A-las-ka
And it’s getting worse for you every day
You can perform like a Playboy Bunny
You can perform like a Playboy Bunny
What’s that itch girl? Has it spread too far?
Penicillin won’t make it go away
Pray, Honey that it don’t spread too far
Spread too damn far
And don’t you know, don’t you know
That it’s wrong to preach politics of hate
You’re so far gone, so far gone
Lil’ Miss Caribou you belong in a zoo
Todd should be in there too
‘Cause
You’re a witch girl and you’re no big star
And mascara won’t help you hide your age
You can go on wearing rimless glasses
You can go on wearing rimless glasses
There’s a hitch girl, you’re a has-been now
And the voters are about to turn the page
The pitbull is a pig with lipstick now
Now say “Bow Wow”
Not too bright, a bit insane
It’s so sleazy, to damn others just because they complain
Those little fools and their ethics rules
They just get in your way and impede your payday
They will rue the day, oh…
You’re a bitch girl, and you’ve gone too far
But that defense fund should help to pay your way
You can rely on that SarahPac money
You can rely on that SarahPac money
You’ll be a rich girl with a brand new car
And then you’ll move your family far away
Say money but it won’t get you too far
Say money but it won’t get you too far
Say money but it won’t get you too far
Get you too far
And you say
You can rely on the SarahPac money
You can rely on the SarahPac money
You’re a rich girl, a bitch girl
Oh, you’re a rich bitch girl yeah
Say money but it won’t get you too far
Oh, get ya too far
Tortured Logic
Is anybody else as sick and tired of listening to former Bush administration officials and Fox News suck-ups continue to deny that they tortured prisoners and simultaneously declare that waterboarding was an overwhelming success which yielded valuable intelligence? How can both statements be true?
First of all, one must determine whether so-called waterboarding constitutes torture. U.S. Code section 2340 defines torture as follows:
(1) “torture” means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control;
immobilizing the victim on his or her back with the head inclined downwards, and then pouring water over the face and into the breathing passages. By forced suffocation and inhalation of water, the subject experiences drowning and is caused to believe they are about to die. {See,White, Josh (November 8, 2007). “Waterboarding Is Torture, Says Ex-Navy Instructor“. The Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/08/AR2007110802150.html. Retrieved on December 17, 2007.}
Conservative columnist, Christopher Hitchens voluntarily experienced waterboarding twice in 2008. He lasted 12 seconds the first time and 19 seconds on the next attempt. Of the experience, he said,
There is a common misconception that waterboarding simulates the sensation of drowning, but you are to all intents and purposes actually drowning.if waterboarding does not constitute torture, then there is no such thing as torture. Believe me. It’s torture. {SeeHitchens, Christopher (August 2008). “Believe Me, It’s Torture“. Vanity Fair. http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/08/hitchens200808. Retrieved on April 17, 2009.
It is also worth noting that both John McCain and Mike Huckabee defined waterboarding as torture during their respective 2008 campaigns. It seems obvious that McCain knows a little bit about the subject of torture.
It would appear obvious from a reading of both definitions and from Hitchen’s description that waterboarding is torture. Furthermore, the United States has a past record of prosecuting water torture as a war crime. In 1947, a Japanese civilian who had served in the Japanese military as an interpreter was convicted for, among other things, committing water torture. The alleged water torture was specified as consisting of “forcing water into {the} mouths and noses” of two prisoners. http://www.2008electionprocon.org/pdf/asano_case.pdf . Sounds a lot like waterboarding, doesn’t it? So, let’s not let former Bush administration officials and Fox News sycophants get away with denying that it is torture and it is illegal.
Next, we must deal with the justification for waterboarding on the basis that it yielded valuable intelligence. Forget it. This is a red herring of an argument. If waterboarding is torture and therefore a criminal act, it matters not what valuable information was gleemed therefrom. The United States is a nation of laws. As an example, consider this scenario. Larceny is an illegal criminal act. Inasmuch as the U.S. Government’s computer systems seem to get hacked on a near daily basis, it would be quite valuable for the government to acquire a more sophisticated security system. It would be illegal, however for the government to acquire such a system by means of simply stealing it from say Microsoft. Indeed, the United States justice system would prevent or redress just such an action.
OK then, now that we’re finished with that, let’s have some fun with a song parody…
F Troop link: http://www.televisiontunes.com/F_Troop.html
BUSH TROOP
(sung to the theme of “F Troop”)
The dawn of the Iraq War was near
When coincidentally
Cheney and Bush got the limits pushed
And commenced torturous brutality.
The methods employed often maimed and killed
Which pleased Cheney’s vicious group.
The waterboard trick both chilled and thrilled
Nobody was appalled they were called Bush Troop.
With testicle bites and really bright lights
Their victims sure took a lickin’
From draft dodging war hawks
Who are just chickens.
When killing and maiming get them down
They know their morale can’t droop.
As long as they own old D.C. Town
They are sure to resume with a bang and a boom
Bush Troop.
Calling All Interplanetary Moonbats
Here’s an old one to fulfill a request…
Space Oddity link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7823024126190739294
SPACE ODDITY
(sung to the David Bowie song “Space Oddity”)
Ground control to Sarah P.
Ground control to Sarah P.
You’re a space-shot and on that we can agree
Ground control to Bristol P.
Don’t blindly follow your mommy
Blind adherence to the right will just hurt you
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five
Four, three, two, one, liftoff
This is ground control to Palin girls
You’re both somewhere in space
But the world wants you to practice what you preach
Soon you both will learn that life is a real “beach”
This is Sarah P. to ground control
I’ll do just what I please
I don’t give a damn just what Alaskan’s say
I’ll be ditching them for Washington someday
For here
Am I acting like a moonshot
So, “Thanks But No Thanks’
I do not need you
Because I’m the “Caribou”
(musical interlude)
I guide my spaceship with both winks and smiles
It’s really such a thrill
I’m oblivious to everybody’s jeers
Due to the empty space between my ears
Ground control to Sarah P.
You’ve gone brain dead
You’re so scary
Can you hear me, Sarah P.?
Can you hear me, Sarah P.?
Can you hear me, Sarah P.?
Can you….
Here is she floating like a moonshot
Unelectable
She has beehive hair
But she hasn’t got a prayer
(musical fade)
Sarah Palin Boob Tube Themes – 5
Here’s another old Anti-Palin television theme song parody from the vaults. Hope you enjoy…
The Monkees link: http://www.monkees.net/mp3/010904aZWHtlo9r3zp/Monkees_-_Rarities_-_Monkees_Theme_(remake).mp3
THE PALINS
(sung to the theme of “The Monkees”)
Here we come,
With mukluks on our feet.
We’re headin’ down to the Johnstons’
To buy some Oxy-C.
Hey, Hey, we’re the Palins
No terrorists pallin’ around.
You betcha that we can see Russia,
When Putin flies right over our town.
We’ve all had unwed pregnancies,
Bristol, Levi, Todd and me,
We don’t care too much for Schoolin’
We’re happy with our G.E.D.’s.
Hey, Hey, we’re the Palins
We’re grindin’ turkey heads by the pound.
Our clothes from Neiman Marcus
Are now sittin’ in the Lost and Found.
WWZN AM 1510 – Progressive Talk Returns To Boston
December 21, 2006, a day that will live in infamy in Boston, MA. On that day some two and a half years ago, Air America ceased broadcasting in Beantown and so vanished all progressive talk radio in one of the most politically progressive cities in the nation. How could that possibly happen in the Cradle of Liberty? How could a state that elects only Democrats to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and also hosts a Democratic Party Governor, not have a platform for progressive talk radio? How could the airwaves be bereft of liberal talk in the only state that voted against Nixon in’72 (remember those great bumper stickers: “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For McGovern)? Well, it did happen.
From that date through May 17, 2009 there has only been conservative, right-wing hate radio in the “Home of the Cod.” One such station, affectionately referred to by us Lefties as “WKKK”, boasts a lineup of such local gasbags as Michael Graham (of the Boston Herald) and Michele McPhee (formerly of the Boston Herald). If you really want a taste of that station’s most racist, hate-filled programming, however, you must listen to a sociopath named Jay Severin III ( real name: James Severino). I believe he dropped the ethnic sounding surname because it clashed so violently with his anti-immigration stance. This guy is presently under suspension from the station because of some truly racist and hateful dialogue that he spouted on-air two weeks ago. To learn more about Severin, please Google recent national news stories about him. You will be shocked. In fact, if you want to hear a little from him, please listen to the link below.
Jay Severin link:

Boston’s only other talk radio station of late boasted a lineup of such national buffoons as Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage (real name: Michael Weiner, hmm, wonder why he changed that name?). The local hosts include Howie Carr (of, you guessed it, the Boston Herald) and the station’s only Democrat, former Massachusetts Speaker of the House and might I add, convicted felon (obstruction of justice) and disbarred attorney, Thomas J. Finneran. The station’s choice of Finneran as the lone voice of the Democratic Party is even more disingenuous than Fox News pairing Hannity with the milquetoast Alan Colmes.
But a new day has dawned. On may 17, 2009 Revolution Boston has sprung on the scene at WWZN AM 1510. The present lineup includes Boston’s own Jeff Santos, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz and Thom Hartmann. This will certainly make drive time much more enjoyable and consequently reduce the amount of Road Rage city-wide.
Massachusetts Trivia Question of the Day: Who was the last Republican Governor to serve two full terms?
Answer: None. Since its establishment in 1620, no Republican Governor has ever served two full terms in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Oh, what the heck, let’s sing another Palin song. This time with a revolution theme in honor of Revolution Boston radio…
Revolution link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Imb4tYOk8GE
REVOLUTION
(sung to the Beatles song “Revolution”)
Aaaahhh!!!
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to lose the girl
You tell her about evolution
Well, you know
She won’t give that thought a whirl
But she knows about reproduction
She and her daughter can spit ‘em out
Pretty soon we will be free, all right
All right, all right.
You say we need a real solution
Well, you know
Sarah’s days are nearly done
She’s lookin’ for some contributions
As you know
For her Legal Defense Fund
But when you want money
To spread politics of hate
Sarah’s giving us reason to investigate
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
All right, all right
Ahh
She may want to change the Constitution
Well, you know
Her chances there are pretty nil
And her position on the air’s pollution
Well, you know
Even more questionable still
And if she keeps pandering to all the Joe Sixpacks
She’ll never earn most of the population’s votes back
So, don’t you see it’s gonna be all right
All right, allright
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right,
ALL RIGHT!
Huckabee Hound
In the, “It’s So Stupid Its Gotta Be True” category today, we have Mike Huckabee and his Nancy Pelosi poem. It seems Huckabee Hound is troubled by Ms. Pelosi’s recent stance regarding C.I.A. veracity to the extent that he wants her to resign her position as Speaker of the House of Representatives. In an attempt to coax just such an action from her, he has authored a poem entitled, Fancy Nancy and posted it as his May 17, 2009 contribution to his website. Here is the link: http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?fa=News.View&News_id=c371ff3b-a8f0-4b8d-a24c-0d0df1a0a047

HUCKABEE HOUND
(sung to the “Huckleberry Hound” theme)
The biggest clown in town is the Huckabee Hound
And his G.O.P. pals.
He has a big bald dome and he penned a bad poem
For those guys and gals.
Mike Huckabee fun is not for everyone,
In fact he inspires frowns.
If you are pro-choice,
He’ll offer you no voice
He’s Mike Huckabee Hound.
That oh, so sucky, rubber ducky,
Mike Huckabee Hound
