I think moving forward I’m just going to call them my “karatorials” or “Franken-songials”, though that’s a little ungainly (you can add pretty much anything to “Franken …” by the way, believe me, and quite a few iterations of such over the years have been none too flattering ).
Whatever, just my editorials here via a karaoke tune or two.
Here’s another, this one to Adam Ant, a little voter suppression thing.
Goody Goody Crow Rules
Gov Kemp grabbed a big pen
To support the Big Lie
Election integrity, integrity
Ignore that GA’s was fine now
–
Was su-posed gold standard
For others to try
Try and live up to, up to
It was even a point of pride now
–
Ya can’t choose, we choose, voting rights you lose
Ya can’t choose, we choose,
Suppression wins you lose
–
Make vo-ting harder, what will you do
A tougher vote, we say, what will you do
None too subtle the game they play
Jim Crow says hey y’all by the way
–
Say thanks to Joe Manchin
Repubs inside joke
Won’t let us bust the filli filli
Bi-part will surely take note take note
–
As everyone laughs at
His naïve to extreme
The Pollyanna world he loves hope
Is in a parti-san long boat
–
Ya can’t choose, we choose, voting rights you lose
Ya can’t choose, we choose,
Suppression wins you lose
–
Make vo-ting harder, what will you do
A tougher vote, we say, what will you do
None too subtle the game they play
Jim Crow says howdy by the way
——
GOP knows too well now
There ain’t no fair fight
Straight up they lose every time now
People vote they will always eat crow
–
They’ll try to sell you
A bill of false goods
About getting back to honest, honest
But based on a cult’s lies big lie
–
Now this ain’t no token
They’ll take the deride
Knowing full well, too well now
The orange is on their right side
–
Make vo-ting harder, what will you do
A tougher vote, we say, what will you do
None too subtle the game they play
Jim Crow says howdy by the way
–
Make vo-ting harder, what will you do
Cuttin’ back Sundays what will you do
None too subtle the game they play
Jim Crow says hey y’all by the way
–
Make vo-ting harder, what will you do
Lose drop boxes, what will you do
None too subtle the game they play
Jim Crow says howdy by the way
–
Make vo-ting harder, what will you do
A tougher vote, we say, what will you do
None too subtle the game they play
Jim Crow says howdy by the way
