She Said (Old T-shirt) (song) – A Re-Visit Break

Think I need a little bit of a break from my parody song a day until the election as the trepidation and the 50/50 nature of things is really weighing on me. I’ve never been good at 50/50’s, more a 30/70 for me, so I don’t want to think about it right now, well at least until i post my last tune tomorrow and hope that there is actually a God who looks down and says “What?!! You all are still here?! Son of a bitch … look away for just one second … note to self – grab lunch with Marge from house management and find out who the hell …

“You called?”

“What? No, not now Bill … but that was quick, still on your game I see”

“Always waiting on a call, the knees could use a look but always waitin'”

“Another time dude”

“I’ll be here”

“Oh, I know you will (aside to self …. “fucker”)

“I heard that”

“Shut up Bill!”

… find out who the HECK dropped the ball and why you all are still here (fuckers)

“We heard that”

“Shut up peoples”

Yadda Yadda … so to that thought of taking a break then with this. One of the first things of mine playing with an instrumental from our prod site and having some fun.

“Dude, this is what you call fun?! She left you and still wears one of your old T-Shirts and with the new guy?!”

“Don’t you have some damnation to get to or something?

“Sorry, just sayin'”

She Said (Old T-Shirt Song)

She said where have you been because ya seem lost

Feel like I’m living a fever dream but at what cost

Where you’re here one day then gone the next is this a test

I’m even wearing that old T-shirt that you liked the best

But is it yours or mine I’m not quite sure

Did I even one time even know this band I forget the tour

Found it on the floor newly washed I’m sure I think it’s yours

But you’re somewhere gone I think I must report you lost

We used to be on page in the same book

And you would give me looks to make me bend around with you

And send me stars as dots to connect of how you and I were them

Until we reached the moon no lookin’ back just … postcards to send 

She said we sillied with the best of them

Made others envy green when they couldn’t contend with us they bled

That green and not just in the month of March is what they jigged

You’d make us angry year round if we could only ever be mad at you …

But you’re missing now … she said

What’s happened to you … where is your head

But you’re missing now … she said

What place do you go … one that isn’t our stead

You’re missing now … she said

Is it a place where I can bring you back now from the dead

———-

I guess this T-Shirt’s mine now is what she says

I think I might just even have to wear it to bed

But not with thoughts of you if that’s somehow in your head

No I won’t be wearin’ it long … that’s what he said

No it’ll hit the floor running as he gives me looks   

To bend around with him in writing pages fresh book

And he sends me new stars on new trips to the moon

Where all is small, lost is not found

We’ll send postcards soon

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 2: “Autocratic Dreamin'”

I know I re-posted this one only a few weeks ago but it has to be in this countdown as this is what this is all about.

To the Mamas and the Poppas “California Dreamin’”

(originally posted August 21, 2022)

Autocratic Dreamin’

Democracy’s in straits (Democracy’s in straits)

Getting dire by the day (dire by the day)

New Reich says it’s ok (practically they say)

To let it fade away (let it fade away)

Embracing a big lie’s how (embracing a big lie)

Help usher in a new way (usher in a new way)

Autocratic dreamin’ (autocratic dreamin’)

On such a darkened day

They stepped off of the ledge

All willing still offer pledge

Into abyss of endless lies (and lustful power cries)

They almost seem to pray (almost seem to pray)

To a god of broken things now (god of broken things)

Broken with real bad intent (and where violence sings)

Autocratic dreamin’ (autocratic dreamin’)

On such a darkened day

… break

All the truth is down (all the truth is down)

To be changed by the day (change it by the day)

Even history (even history)

Won’t stand in the way (won’t stand in the way)

Rewrite it backwards forwards (rewrite it forwards backwards)

To fit just what he might say (fit just what he might say)

Autocratic dreamin’ (autocratic dreamin’)

On such a darkened day (autocratic dreamin’)

On such a fascist day (autocratic dreamin’)

On such a darkened day 

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 2 And A Half: “Trump D’s Golden Scepter”

T-Minus 2 and a half days and some comfort. I initially was all about a Beatles tune, tunes, in my parodies, exclusively so, The Orange Album, they were songs I could sing and was comfortable with. Though they were of the time this one still holds up.

It is fun in a not fun kind of way.

Tap a toe if you’d like.

Trump D’s Golden Scepter

Don wasn’t quizzical

It seemed to him illogical

To find truth that leaves no doubt

Don’t allow intelligence in this

Hou-hou-hou-house

.

He hid his shortcomings

In wordy salad long goings

He makes no sense at all

But staff always picks up the messy dropped word

Ba-a-a-all

.

But just then that damn press it drops by

To point out all his lies

.

Bang! Bang! Trump D’s Golden Scepter

Came down upon their heads

Bang! Bang! Trump D’s Golden Scepter

Would threaten them be dead

.

Back at podium

He sings his tried true stratagem

Of playing victim’s card

Dem’s they are just mean

As you all have

See-ee-ee-een

.

He tells ‘merica

Believe Mob King Republica

Vindicated now

And those who don’t agree will pay dearly

And how-ow-ow-ow

.

The swamp’s tides getting much stronger now

So he paddles up with no mind

Bang! Bang! Trump D’s Golden Scepter

Comes down upon our heads

(doo doo doo doo)

Bang! Bang! Trump D’s Golden Scepter

Dissension will be dead

Bang! Bang! Trump D’s Golden Scepter

Would turn us all to red

(doo doo doo doo)

Bang! Bang! Trump D’s Golden Scepter

Loyalty it must be bred

.

His senate they are all in line

Claiming everything is fine

Dem’s are those to blame

Future now an easier despot

Ga-a-a-ame

Lindsey and lackey crows

Talk around with Fox News shows

Espousing all the lies

While Mitch hopes to continue with Russian

Tie-i-i-ies

And the GOP laughs right in our face

As the Trump tries to force blind

.

Bang! Bang! Trump D’s Golden Scepter

Held high above our heads

(doo doo doo doo)

Bang! Bang! Trump D’s Golden Scepter

Propaganda’s never dead

whoa whoa whoa whoa!

(doo doo doo doo)

.

Golden Scepter

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 3: “Look What They’ve Done To Our Trump”

Now in the process of my posting these tunes of mine, words well worked in anger at the pained obvious, well wrought obvious, words red flagged in an attempt at a head’s up, “Do you see?” things that are my stand up I waver … I flit between serious dread and that the lesser dread that seems just kinda silly, but still dread. I mean it couldn’t be right? This is just another election with a possible reset just another four years off right? in case we get things wrong, a future time to possibly mend mistakes right?

But I know that that is not the case, this is no regular election and there are no Pollyanna thoughts of how this has always worked continuing in a still existent democratic future.

My problem with Trumpers is, though I don’t fault you your opinions, well, Ok, I do, as they ain’t mine and i could never be that easily susceptible to a con, but that they are too often misinformed, wholly misinformed and I don’t understand your need to “own” the other side like it is some sort of childish game, to grab the mantle of Orange grievance like it is your own, as if he were a guy who actually lived a life with you.

He hasn’t, never has, lived that life, he has never been that guy, nor is he heaven messiah sent as he glories to be, he IS the elite he warns you of. You spend so much time and glee on owning the other side that you miss the bigger picture. You become cult and you won’t be able to break away until it’s too late, and there will be a time where that comes.

Look What They’ve Done To Our Trump

Look what they’ve done to our Trump Ma

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

Well, fa-scism’s all he can do half right 

And somehow they say that’s wrong Ma

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

.

Look what they say ‘bout his brain Ma

Like using it’s a real strain

They point out that it’s a jumbled mess

All those liars in the press Ma

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

.

He just wants a good country for whites to live in Ma

One where his subjects will all call him … King

If he can rig a vote like ’16 true

All the libs will come to rue

Just what

Just what they’ve said of our Trump

.

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

C’mon everybody NA NA NA with me

Maybe even LA DE DA

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

But maybe it’ll work for the right Ma

Maybe Democracy’ll lose this fight Ma

Well his dee-sciples still buy his lies

And threatened violence well that could work out nice

Look what they’ve wrought in our Trump

.

Now this part here’s supposed to be in French Ma

But that wouldn’t be his intent Ma

Because he don’t sing of nothing but the US of A

And English speaking’s gotta be the only say

But he’s OK with fries made a French way

.

Look what they’ve done to our Trump Ma Ma Ma

They’ve turned him into such an orange grump Ma

He can’t even win a primary

Without them talking about that Haley

Look what they’ve done to our Trump

.

Hear what they say about our Trump Ma

They say the meanest things about our Trump Ma

They even have the gall to point out his lies

But never give him credit for how hard he tries

To straight face through them all of the time 

.

Look what they’ve done to our Trump Ma Ma Ma

Look what they’ve done to our Trump


Well, fa-scism’s all he can do half right 

And somehow they say that’s wrong Ma

But he wins this time there’ll be a new song

And a dark one

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 4: “Baby It’s A Tax Scam”

T-Minus 4 days now as I continue a Trump parody tune a day until the election (starting at day 12).

Man these GOP’ers are all just shamelessly and transparently enamored of continuing to enrich their wealthy friends and corporations and widen the wealth divide huh? I mean, they just LOOOOVVVVEEEE their practically criminal tax cuts from ’17 don’t they, a point of internal laughing pride, I’m sure, that they were able to, yet again, foist upon us, some more of their trickle down bullshit and get away with it.

From Trump promising more and more and more to now his pretty god-sent spokesleader Mike Johnsen “Such a nice looking guy, just that little beautiful face with the glasses” saying he looks forward to working with a GOP Senate at prioritizing the reauthorization of Trump’s tax law. Oh, Johnson also feels he and his team team could quickly pass legislation to address concerns at the border even though those concerns were already addressed in a bi-partisan way until the Orange one scuttled those plans … “The border is huge!!!! Must come up with a hard solution now!!! It is of the most hugest of hugely huge importance!!! We have and agreement Sir, finally with lots of concessions on their part, you would be hugely happy!!! Fantatstic!!! but kill it … need to campaign on how we can’t get anything done down at the border and how hugely huge it is!!!”

… but I digress.

Back to tax scams.
