I’ve written of this before (so feel free to heavy sigh and skip off now while you can) but one of the main tools for me in my job (I’m a production guy) is a production music site I use on an almost daily basis to find music beds for commercials that I will maybe voice or, if not, still produce.
But in my searching, though, for a tune that seems to work for whatever spot is at hand I will come across beds that I like, beds that I can even think that I might like to write some lyrics to and have a bit of fun with at another time, something I have done on occasion because Hey? Who don’t imagine themselves to possibly be a rock star right? I know, that’s silly but still, for me, it’s always been just another avenue for creating and also to do that bit of rock star wannabe “singing” (“singing” definitely in quotes here but, being a production guy, I can work a little magic on the me sing end).
But, if you know this me here in said Attic, you also know that I have done quite a lot of parody tunes over the last 8 or so years, “parody” in name only though as they ain’t silly, mostly those of a political type to try and get some genuinely angry angers and frustrations out and make needed points (and lord knows there are a lot of those and needs of such, especially now) as, years ago, I realized, no matter how well written or compelling a straight up opinion piece of mine might be no one was ever going to read it. Period. Not even me back to me.
But? If I put it to a tune? Well …
So then to this and the updates …
A couple of years ago I came across this music bed that had a real carnival, circus kind of feel to it and well, Carnival? Circus? Yeah, that feel worked pretty well for anything GOP then or now (always does) and James Comer specifically and his fruitless investigations into the Biden Crime Family Syndicate, and his needed distraction from true crime family syndicates.
I then revisited it earlier this year as, with this administration, Circus never really goes out of style.
And then to a now, another revisit …
Trump Circus Two
The Trump Circus big tops cabinet meetings now
While its members try one up each other how
They are bestest at these lapdog bestest tests
A circle’s turn jerk him from rest
.
Don nods approval or he simply just nods
Drifting to dreams of nobels or birthday cards
Wondering any King ever worked so damn hard
To nod all humble while he’s viewed as a god
.
Such blessed … circumstance
.
And he always
Keeps all on point
Of just how great he is
.
Reminds all around
For the camera’s now
Best ever in Prez Biz
.
This dog and pony show it never gets old
Spin propaganda to keep all in the fold
The only real truths are the lies fascists weave
Fake news real truth they call deceit
.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
.
The Trump Circus keeps going round and round and round
Where lipsticked sentiments are found
.
They have though now dropped true governing ball
As we wait some golden age apparently one on hold
But it’s happenin’ right now is what we’re all being told
Don’t believe your eyes or pockets
You’re all better than days of old
.
The Trump Circus big tops everywhere and Hell now
As fishing boats keep blowing up, some twice now
But hurricanes have stopped at at his seeming hand
Protecting all the others at sea and at land
