The cable was out last night for a short period so I spent a portion of my evening listening to some old song parodies of mine and impressing myself.
“Really?”
“What?”
“Have you ever heard of humility”
“Hey, it’s a little early for that, temps are still a bit cool ’round here”
“(sigh) You’re an idiot”
“Skills my friend … skills”
Anyway (and deja vu) from back when I was doing almost exclusively Beatles covers in my early parodies and a one that still works, as if it were current, 5 years later and a still stark reminder.
Tricking the Whole
(to The Beatles “Fixing A Hole”)
I’m tricking the whole to new reign of a King
To keep their minds from wondering
What the truth knows
.
I’m filling the gaps marking all that I say
With prop-a-ganda being way
To sell truth now
.
And it’s really heady matter for elites I lie
For a fake press I lie
The haters cry
.
But see my dog base blinding there who loyally lap at my feet
Never finding truth crumbs on the floor
.
I’m painting bona fide in a red white and blue
My fingers make confusing swirls
Till you let go
Oooh Oooh Oooh Ahh Ahh
(succumb you will in time)
Hey Hey Hey … Hey
.
And hey batter batter batter
Swing and miss my man, can’t hit this pitch you can’t
Not this big spin
.
I’m on the mound base is the crowd
They pay no mind they are fact free
See how they’re wowed by my huge back door curve
.
I never take time to study the things that were important yesterday
They don’t matter now
Oooh Oooh Oooh Ahh Ahh
Hey Hey
.
I’m tricking the whole to new reign of a King
It gets my mind to wandering ’bout new royals Ohhhh
Who we could own owwwwnnn
.
I’m tricking the whole to new reign of a King
My mind is always floundering
In a dark hole … in a dark whole

still a good one Steve!!
