Good God, There's Video Of Colin Doing "Y.M.C.A."

[filkertom]

On Friday we had a thread about the madness of The Only Secretary Of State We've Got shaking his booty to one of the great bad disco tunes of all time.

Now, thanks to the BBC, we've got the video (streaming Real format).

And, for those who were off having fun this weekend, I wrote a song:

I.R.A.Q.
Words: Copyright 2004 by Tom Smith
Music: "Y.M.C.A." by The Village People


U.N., thanks for having me here,
I said, U.N., now just lend me an ear,
I said, U.N., I've got evidence clear-
ly accusing Saddam Hussein

These bums have much worse than a gun,
Like disease bombs, mustard gas by the ton,
Our axioms are, He'll use 'em for fun,
And We must... go... in... and... stop him...

It's fun invading that I-R-A-Q,
No use debating that I-R-A-Q,
He's a threat to the world, so we have to attack,
It's a good thing he can't fight back....

It's fun invading that I-R-A-Q,
Why are we waiting, get I-R-A-Q,
Hit 'em hard and fast, use a few million shells,
Then secure those oil wells....

U.N., yellowcake from Niger,
I said, U.N., conversations we hear
that said U.N. sanctions they do not fear
And they're friend... ly... with... al... Qaeda...

U.N., I am telling you this
So the U.N. will avoid getting dissed
By Dub-you, man, And he'll do it, he's pissed
Off the whole... damn... world... al... ready...

We are invading that I-R-A-Q,
Kinda Kuwait-ing that I-R-A-Q,
All my data is bull, all my motives obscure,
But compared to my bosses I'm pure...

We are invading that I-R-A-Q,
Quit hesitating, it's I-R-A-Q,
I'm destroying my rep, and you're asking me why,
Hey, remember how I hid My Lai....

Now it's been a year and a half,
And Wolfowitz is the joke of his staff,
Lib'rul pundits would just sit back and laugh
If they weren't... too... busy... crying.

Cheney, in his underground lair,
is insane, he says connections are there
'Tween Hussein-ee and al-Qaeda, nowhere
Can we find... a... shred... to... prove it...

But we invaded that I-R-A-Q,
We really raided that I-R-A-Q,
Bombed the country flat, wasted billions of bucks,
And impounded two stupid trucks.

I'm really jaded on I-R-A-Q,
We should have waited on I-R-A-Q,
But it's too late now, let's proceed with the plan,
On to North Korea and Iran....

(What's that, Chalabi? Wait on Iran? Oooookaaaay....)

Good song, that :-)

Hee hee hee...

I was about to point out that I'd already written "DMCA" to that same tune, but this is just too evil. :D

Different subject. If a song could only be parodied once, I myself would be out o' business.

Thanks. In between "real" tracks for the album, I want to get this and another song done for freebie political blog noise later this week.

Very true. Didn't mean to leave that point out, but you've expressed it eloquently. Besides, yours needed to be written. Oh, and on the subject of this particular little war, might I recommend Dan Briody's The Halliburton Agenda? Gripping reading of the history of two of our most fascinating war profiteers, since Kellogg Brown & Root is also included, from the time it started out as an independent company through its years as an independently operating subsidiary of Halliburton & Associates.

In Fallujah
You can really lose your head
In Fallujah
Our contractors wind up dead
In Fallujah
Our mission's accomplish-ED
In Fallujah... In Fallujah

Bwahahaha! To both of you.

Further on the Village People theme need not be done. There's no changes to be made to "Macho Man" that would make it any more applicable to the situation.
