So when I finally got home the other night and fed the girls and myself (different canned things, Fancy Feast them and Beefaroni me – I’m not all that crazy cat lady guy there just yet – though some of their stuff does smell quite enticing) and got myself sat down, I checked in in the Attic here only to find, whoaaaaa, a bunch of new views and this after two days of view bupkus replete with crickets.
Seems there was an out of the blue deep dive on some of my parody tunes, 22 of them with almost 100 “downloads” of whatever that means and a couple of views of a few old regular posts including one from 12 years ago of when Maria and Jagger and I added puppies to the already existing furry mix at the household then … Jackson & Brady (they’re still dogging by the way though I’m sure just a little bit slower these days – with ya there old friends – miss ya).
Now, mind you, I’m not complaining about any eye or ear balls, however random coming they may seem to be, and it was kind of cool to be reminded of this post, Spring Sprung Puppies, after so many years, a bit of a melancholy even set in at the reminder, but I noted that the top tune on the downloads list was something I had done not too long ago, right after that attempt to circumvent our election with a violent coup at the behest of a President and a bit down the list was another from around the same time that shared the same theme.
It’s that thing that’s been in the news lately by the way, that January 6th Commission and the public hearings you may have heard of or seen, all 20 million of you (just click away from Fox News for a sec) unless of course you’re Jim Jordan or any of the other Orange discipled sycophants who claim “Real America” doesn’t care, that they care more about the price of gas and that this all a partisan witch hunt.
You live in your world Gym and we’ll live in ours … the real one.
So a couple of tunes that were in the moment then and may still carry a point.
(to Fun Lovin’ Criminals “Scooby Snacks” from 1996 whose video sampled some quotes from Quentin Tarantino flicks)
Trumpy Snacks
“Everybody be cool, this is an insurrection!”
Don and lack facts set the track long ago
His act election taint would be the big blow
After mail in lies re-votes’ll be where the enemy goes
He exulted to podiums
Future fraud agendum
And the lies don’t matter much
He bought with no cost
Small minds all loudly and blindly so
Singin’
Donnie Donnie Donnie

When loss came the long game went into play
Cries rang out loud … that this was a no go
He couldn’t have lost … hell he even said so
Statistically not possible and numbers were his go go
Made up as they were he couldn’t have been wrong
They thought singin’ all dumb dumb days long
So they listened to him being done so so wrong
Not to just to him but them that was a no no
—
“Look, I don’t know anything about any fucking election fraud
You can torture me all you want”
“Torture you, that’s good, that’s a good idea, I like that“
—
Runnin’ around spoutin’ lies all whacked off on Trumpy snacks
We’ll take your commands
Rush the gates all whacked off on Trumpy Snacks
—
And Pence don’t give a fuck about a noose’s close call
If self respect was in height he’s only inches tall
He op-eds big lie, like he’s money
Though Trump had hoped his feet dangled funny
—
Ron Johnson chimes new times explanation
Antifa hell bent on insurrection
And try blame Pelosi for not calling in Nat guard
10,000 strong Trump numbers lie song
—
Revisionists don’t care much what they get wrong
Say it it enough and it’ll last days years long
But in the meantime you’re votes we leave charred
Suppression will and always be in their yard
Cause they can’t win without playing that card
—
Trumpy, we need you, are we fools?
Nah, you’re tools
—
Runnin’ around spoutin’ lies all whacked off on Trumpy snacks
We’ll take your commands
Rush the gates all whacked off on Trumpy Snacks
Muddy the waters make the rounds
All whacked off on Trumpy Snacks
Nothin’ to see pundits sound
All whacked off on Trumpy Snacks
—
You got nothin’ on him
Nothin’
It was no big deal

(to Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish”)
Dark Days (they wish)
Looking back on lost years and an orange headed lyin’ boy
Whose one and only con-cern was power and just how earn from ploy
We watched and listened sadly, the starkness of the thing
That had support too many, discipled GOP
—
Truth went out the window, propaganda became the truth de jour
Echoed many sides now, podiums to pundits even went on tour
The press tried too late stem tide, point out all the lies
But they opened up that window, just tryin’ now save hides
—
They were dark days … you’d … think we’d want no more
Some truly sad … days … attack norms at the core
But some still want … those … days to darken doors
Now hold seditious dreams, yeah, they hold a torch
They hold a torch
—
The time came to be counted, a real count not a one that aimed at steal
Enough of us did stand up, a threat was posed and seen saw to be real
But even then some hundred plus signed on to a deal
To stand with former power mad with fraud as the new spiel
—
That led to insurrection, encouraged violence for a new rule
With help also from inside who even took some to tour of new school
Useful idiots follow dumb as useful tools
The Gaetz, Hawley’s, McCarthy’s fools who know the fools
—
