Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 1: “God Made Trump … No, That Was In Error'”

November 4, 2024November 4, 2024by Stephen J Frankenberry1 Comment

T-Minus 1 day. Well this is it, tomorrow, and all I can do now is hope for the best, and maybe get in a prayer or two to this guy.

This one has a lot of words, sung at a very speedy clip to an instrumental from a guy named Kevin Macleod (same guy who did the instrumental that Will Ferrell and Kristin Wiig were being silly with at the Golden Globe). I know I posted this only last week but part of it was bugging me and I did a bit of a revision. It was a little monotonous in the verses so I changed up a couple of them.

Much better now I think and still fast with a shitload of words, loves me fast with a shitload of words

My response to the silliness of that recent “God Made Trump” video.

Cheers Kevin MacLeod and thanks for the perfect tune to fit what was in my head.

So back in ’46 when God took a break

After world at war that had so much at stake

He blinked for second and before he knew what

A Fred had had a son who would think he the one

To lead his people to some new promised land

But a one where democracy could no longer stand

Well God said then I hope this ain’t a mistake

Just wanted take a sec and a little wine break

But future he could see at the hands of Fred’s son

Who’d find ways to rake in some new fresh coin

And adulation

From every sunup

From those just off a turnip truck

He’d think Prez down escalator to ride

A gold idol though behind God he’d try hide

He’d play up charlatans and God speaking Jakes

They’d get in prayer circles hoping then just to fake

His true Christian values that could be on the take

For just the right price

New discipes would buy right?

But then he got sold

On all he was told

And started to believe that God had foretold

That he was the chosen of new myth of old

Reality of course now it be on the run

At Rally’s he’d exclaim oh what such fun

To smite the nonbelievers

Who’d soon be cursed ones

Then God said oh me just what have I done

Can never take a Me damned break no matter the fun

Though that was fine wine worthy even of nuns

I must be on my toes truth it’s under the gun

At the hands of true believers who turn now to song

To praise an orange fraud they think’ll rise like the son

To deliver them a hero in a new paradise

Devoid of immigrants just gotta call ICE

He’d be the caretaker of their righteous white world

Where enemies in fetal poses they would be curled

He’d fight off the Marxists and the fascists to boot

His projections of the enemy would be such a hoot

To call them fascists while he’s making such plans

To make democracy a now also ran

He’d have his true believers seeing future in sight

Whatever he says conservative on the right

Not on the far left where the vermin do land

They need be threatened dead now that’s a good plan

They say he’ll be a guy who could shape and ax

But also wield a sword though that’s quite a task

He was brave in North Korea while stepping a foot

Thankfully no bone spurs de-ferred his look

But he gloried love letters of he and an Un

Such a nice fella who could take a sweet turn

But then he got sold

On all he was told

And started to believe that God had foretold

That he was the chosen of new myth of old

Reality of course now it be on the run

At Rally’s he’d exclaim oh what such fun

To smite the nonbelievers

Who’d soon be cursed ones

Then God he sat back and just shook his head

He’d said look what I’ve wrought in the U.S. of stead

I’ll surely face my wrath for what I’ve let done

And that wrath being mine won’t be as fun

I’d like me as God show discipes the real light

But they’re lost now don’t even realize their plight

That in a den of vipers he’s the head one

Leading all the rest to follow his red forked tongue

He’d offer Eve the Apple saying speaking of tongues

Leave that loser behind I am your one

Like the naked look that you got goin’ on

Now drop the fig leaf and let’s take the plunge

Adam … go away will ya? … busy here

You’re messing with my tiny mojo

No, God ain’t looking

D’ya think he cares?

But then he got sold

On all he was told

And started to believe

That God had foretold

That he was the chosen of new myth of old

And his discipes he continues to mold

They gather at his rally’s put together fan schlock

That God gave us Trump the one who’d care for the flock

A shepherd to mankind they say without jest

And surely damn you libs don’t put us to the test

He speaks of retribution he’s a man of his word

Unless you call him on it then he’ll say that’s absurd

So God sat back in a comfy cloud chair

To look at what was happenin’ down there

And orange idol thinking he was sent by me

Disciples feel the same but just for a fee

That’s when God said I think I’m done

Back to that glass of wine yeah that would be fun

Cause though he knows he dropped the ball in ‘46

He is still all seeing and likes his kicks

Maybe kill the bottle then for even more fun

Don’t know what could happen when God gets drunk

Maybe a something to get him out of his funk

Yo!

Angels?!

Yeah!!

I need another bottle!

And somebody … get me my files on divine retribution

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

November 2, 2024November 2, 2024by Stephen J Frankenberry1 Comment

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”

November 2, 2024November 3, 2024by Stephen J FrankenberryLeave a Comment

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.

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

C’mon everybody NA NA NA with me

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”

November 1, 2024November 2, 2024by Stephen J Frankenberry1 Comment

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.

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 5: “We Want You To Be We”

October 31, 2024by Stephen J Frankenberry2 Comments

Well, T-Minus 5 days now until the most consequential election in this nation’s history.

If the if the Orange Devil prevails you will soon discover that conservatives will take full advantage of no longer being persecuted in their beliefs of NOT being able to persecute you in yours and dictate how you live but instead will now work to force you into compliance.

Say goodbye to personal and religious liberties if they don’t align with Great Leader and “The Followers” and, with the majority of the nation’s highest court on the payroll, good luck in trying to fight any of the invasions.

Oh, and hope to god that you are white and straight (and preferably, if possible, male)

Ok, T-Minus 6 days and counting, I know I missed T-Minus 7 days yesterday but I was feeling under the weather and just wasn’t up to getting to Facebook. I am though ahead of the game on a dozen parodies in a dozen days leading up to the election as I did a couple of double song posts so far.

Fascists to the right

Stuck in democracy’s fight

Stuck tryin’ hold onto light

Well the rhetoric is dark and it harks

To bleak history now back in an arc

Where it re-turns to new devil to bark

Heroes to the left of us

There we’ll be

Stuck in democracy’s fight

Well we hear it at the rallies

Violence a hope to carry then

And bluster to the rosters

Righteous to the right

Here we’ll be

Stuck in democracy’s fight

Well, there’s a fight that is a brewin’

Constitution it’s a stewin’ now

It warned of men who would be kings

Tried steel from new need kissed rings

Put checks in

Well, we all know why we came here tonight

Be ‘bout truth or just what isn’t right

Democracy’s on table up in the air

Though 35 percent just don’t seem to care

Heroes to the left of us

Stuck tryin’ hold onto light

Stuck in a fight for our lives

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 8: “Don’t Go Back To Trumpville”

I know I re-posted this one back in July but it needs to be here, if only for the title of it.

//////////////////////////////////////////

(originally posted Dec 2, 2023)

One of the first things I did, parody song-wise years ago, was a take on R.E.M.’s “It’s The End Of The World” and the dangers of a Trump then and how we were screwed.

Then came a respite, a non-Russian influenced vote, a collective “shit, how far have we fallen? How could we have?” … a breath then to Joe …

Well, now we are back in the same screwed boat or at least the frightening possibility of such.

So to R.E.M. again and another take, this time to “Don’t Go Back To Rockville” and worries of Democracy in a devil’s orange light.

Don’t Go Back To Trumpville

Looking at old hell a new time

Wonderin’ what we’ve done to be so cursed

In the possibility that

The Orange Devil could usher somethin’ worse

Only this time with an even darker promise

With vengeance in his blackened heart

He’ll persecute and prosecute

The order of which won’t matter when he’s done

Retribution will be his rally cry

To punish one and all

And any who don’t comply

And offer fealty on bended knee

With bowed heads kissed rings even fresh lipstick

Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste Democracy

At night he drinks himself to sleep

Of despot dreams jack booting in his head

He envies Xi and surely Vlad

Even Benito and now new Nazi Klan

Who find in him their great leader to follow

With violence waiting on a call

Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste our future years

Some though feel that there’s no need to worry

Head in sand they see no real ur-gency

But anyone who’s not head under ground knows the danger that is found

In another orange presidency

It’s not the way to protect our liberty

And our too weak now Democracy

Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste our future years

Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
Don’t go back to Trumpville
And waste Democracy

Ok, 11 days now until the decision between Democracy and Fascism. And no, Trumpers, MAGA-ites, disciples, sycophants (entire Republican Congress especially Lindsey, Mike Johnson, Nutter Georgia Greene and Elise, her nutter northern sister from the same Great Leader Mister), easy expensive swag marks, minions, lemmings, rubes, this ain’t me being an alarmist. This is real. Trump wins and sham elections like those of his pal Vlad are next up in the queue followed by dinners with despots (well, there is a band name huh? Dinner with Despots) at the White House.

So next up for me? In my countdown?

Say piece he can’t speak

Help him not look meek

Make him feel like he’s not alone

And prance

Well not that

No prance

But dance in trained circus trance

We can lie when we want to

We can follow an orange lead

We can claim the hit was on

By Biden and his throng

Mar-a-Lago was for the deed

We can rail about the border

Security being lax

Work out a deal

Bi-partisan zeal

Only for Trump to give the axe

We can Trump, we can Trump

Everybody take a nap

We can Trump, we can Trump

Listen to these made up facts

We can Trump, we can Trump

Everybody get on page

We can Trump, we can Trump

Dictator’s are all the raaa-aaage

It’s a Trumpty dance

Well it’s a Trumpty dance

Yes it’s a Trumpty dance

We can Trump if we want to

With judges on the payroll

From the highest in the land

To sunshine orange stands

Delay delay until the polls

I say

We can Trump if we want to

Always the victim here

Crocodile tear schtick

While plotting vengeance flick

To be released in new year

We can Trump, we can Trump

Everything’ll be just fine

We can Trump, we can Trump

Everyone’s drinking the whine

We can Trump, we can Trump

Even Nicki’s fallen in line

We can Trump, we can Trump

Can have a new unified Re-iii-eeich

Well it’s a Trumpty dance

Shame on you GOP for your lack of will and your rubber backbones to not stand up for the former and just accept the latter instead now as a matter of course, as if this were just the flow of new history, the CPAC darling Jack Posobiec highlighting such in his future jackboot “Democracy needs to die” inspirational rant blueprinting all that is wrong with today’s GOP while of course somehow laying the blame of this wish at the feet of Dems and their destruction of OUR country “They say democracy, but they mean authoritarianism, and they know it,” he said with a straight projection face, the one where they are not allowed to assert their will and force us to bend to it. Can’t have that.
