John and T'Ray-za
Since John Mellancamp is so enamored of the Kerry/Edwards ticket, I'm sure he won't mind my using one of his tunes for them.
(sung to the tune of "Jack and Diane")
Little ditty 'bout John and T'ray-za
2 priv'leged kids politic-ing cross the heartland.
John, he wants to be a big Lib'ral Star
T'ray-za's dillitante-medicated Dill Pickle Czar.
T'ray-za's hanging out the bus window at the local Wendys
Never even had a Chili, just points at what she sees.
John say "Hey T'ray-za, let's be annoying as Sand Fleas.
Pissing of the local Marines, I'm just doing like I please.
Do you know who I am?
I'm a war hero from Viet Nam.
Do you know who I am?
I'm a war hero from Viet Nam.
John sits back, consults the polls for a moment
waffles back and forth and tries his best JFK
Says, "We gotta campaign in a bunch of Hick Cities."
T'ray-za says "EggoBoy, as long as we don't have to stay.
John says, uh,
Do you know who I am?
I'm a war hero from Viet Nam.
Do you know who I am?
I'm a war hero from Viet Nam.
Gonna ride the bus, Gonna let let it roll
E'en though Bible Belt's an Abysmal Hole.
Dragging up the 60's, long as I can
Trashing other vets so I can be the President.
Do you know who I am?
I'm a war hero from Viet Nam.
Do you know who I am?
I'm a war hero from Viet Nam.

Oh yeah! Funniest thing I've seen on those two.

Posted by: the_redfalcon at August 4, 2004 04:39 PMYep, you should get that recorded, it's hilarious.
Posted by: Jack at August 4, 2004 07:02 PMWell, just to prove that I have more ego than good sense, I've submitted it to the Kerry Songbook thread at Mark Styne's site.

Posted by: Mamamontezz at August 5, 2004 01:30 AMHow about:
Little ditty about a dick head
Cheating his way across the heart land
Johnny wants to be the president
but it's hard to convince, when you're full of shit...
Can't wait 'til Kerry's gone
then the real world can move along...
SlagleRock Out!

Posted by: Beth at August 8, 2004 03:28 PMThe broadening socioeconomic divide may be attributed to the ignorant apathy of the middle class: intent on maintaining the status quo, the disaffected masses epitomise the inherent stagnation of poverty, ultraconservative elements within the state exploiting international volatility in an immoral didactic impressing the importance of the capitalist dichotomy in the maintenance of social stability. Such acquiescence is antipathic to democratic ideology - indeed, seeking a return to the social order of yesteryear, masquerading as egalitarianism while simultaneously engaging in the oppression of the working class.
Ultraconservative fools. When the polar icecaps melt and half of the world is underwater, perhaps then you'll realise YOU FUCKED UP. If I had my choice of recourse, Bush would have a bullet between his eyes.
