October 30, 2024October 30, 2024by Stephen J FrankenberryLeave a Comment

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.

You’re welcome.

Well, going back to January on this one and Stealers Wheel.

Not much of a post here, no story, just another political parody in my long list of such, this one about what is at stake in this coming election.

Will it be continued democracy or a creeping fascism?

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. But we know who the real authoritarian wannabe’s are now don’t we Jack?

So, screw you Jack whoever you are by the way. I mean, should I know you? Are you a thing?

To Stealers Wheel “Stuck In The Middle With You”.

Stuck in Democracy’s Fight

Well don’t know which way we’ll head in this fight

Gonna be ‘bout truth or just what ain’t right

Democracy’s on table up in the air

Though the GOP just don’t seem to care

Heroes to the left of us

Fascists to the right

There we’ll be

Stuck in democracy’s fight

Yes we’re

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

Fascists to the right

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

of the pawns be called to muster

say pleeeeaasse

save us pleeeaaase

Oh!

Well democracy falls to the wayside

To the right kind that’s the new way to ride

Mind true leader till left’s left on the floor

Cause great country just can’t take anymore

They say

Evil’s to the left of us

Righteous to the right

Here we’ll be

Stuck in democracy’s fight

– break

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

Pleeeaaassse

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

Fascists to the right

There we’ll be

Stuck in democracy’s fight

Yes we’re

Stuck tryin’ hold onto light

Stuck in a fight for our lives

Liberty

Wants to continue to ride

Before needs in darkness then just to hide …

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 9 and a half: “Gonna Wanna Rule Somebody”

October 26, 2024October 26, 2024by Stephen J Frankenberry1 Comment

Thought I’d get to another today. Gotta get this shit in while I can, just in case right? I mean it’s not like I ain’t got the fill. Hopefully Bob would be Ok with my take.

(to Bob Dylan “Gotta Serve Somebody)

Gonna Wanna Rule Somebody

You may be a wished dictator who’s scripting a dream

Of what to do in year 25 with a right’s loyalist team

Who’r mapping out a dire plan where democracy it seems

Is no longer a real player in the grandest of red schemes

And you’re gonna wanna rule somebody, yes indeed

And you’re gonna wanna king somebody

It may be those already on the devil’s dark page

Or those forced to take new stage

Body vessels are the targets in this new SCOTUS age

The ones who stand up try prevent women in a cage

The ones who had temerity to think body autonomy

But in this new world order legislating you’s the rage

Yeah, you’re gonna wanna rule somebody, yes you are

And you’re gonna wanna lord somebody

You’ll make women understand that they just don’t have a say

Instead monitored by state

You may be undesirable in this grand U S of A

An invader less than human is all he will have to say

To rile up the base while he drives all you away

The military will be called upon slap down to make point’s sway

Yeah, you’re gonna wanna rule somebody, yes you are

You’re gonna wanna lord somebody

You’ll make those who just don’t belong go back to where they’re from

Yeah, you’re gonna wanna king somebody

You may be a protester on campus wantin’ say

You hate the inhumanity that you’re seeing day by day

That you’re not an anti this that or even a pro that

You just hate women and children wearing dead pawn hats

But they’re gonna wanna rule somebody, yes indeed

They’re gonna wanna use your naivete

To gain an in ground against hated college elites

They’re gonna wanna rule somebody

And you may be example of future disputes

To quell freedom of speech tear it out by the roots

Teach that protest is only what they will agree

You are no patriots like Jan 6 ones who would see

That he gets chance to rule somebody, yes indeed

Gets chance for a new autocracy

That there will be no dissent that doesn’t come with intent

To help him rule somebody

You might like use projection to describe your enemies

Accuse them of harboring fascist wills and dreams of tyranny

You’ll even claim reverse discrimination of dear whitey

You’ll say that anti-white feeling can’t happen in this great country

And you’re gonna wanna lord somebody, yes you are

And you’re gonna wanna take us back

To a time where white man ruled

And others minded their P’s & Q’s

You’re gonna wanna white everybody

You may call yourself disciple of the MAGA ways

Protect yourself on his good side fearful of vengeful days

You may even say that fascism’s not that bad just give it play

As we’ve heard too often now from MAGA’s praying new Trump day

Well, you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes it’s him

You’re gonna have to serve somebody

Well, it may be the devil, while the lord sits this one out

You’re gonna have to serve somebody

You’re gonna have to serve the orange

You’re gonna have to serve prostrate

You’re gonna have to serve not the lord

You’re gonna have to serve new devil’s day

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 11: “Trumpty Dance”

October 25, 2024November 3, 2024by Stephen J Frankenberry6 Comments

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?

To Men Without Hats “Safety Dance”

Trumpty Dance

We can Trump if we want to

All the way to NYC

In matching red tie

Blue jacket swarm

Our mini-trump uniforms

Yeah,

We can Trump if we want to

Right up to microphones

Say piece he can’t speak

Help him not look meek

Make him feel like he’s not alone

We can Trump

And sing

And dance

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

It’s a Trumpty dance

Well it’s a Trumpty dance

Yes it’s a Trumpty dance

It’s a Trumpty trance

Well it’s a Trumpty dance

Yes it’s a Trumpty prance

It’s a Trumpty dance

It’s a Trumpty prance

It’s a Trumpty trance

It’s a Trumpty farce

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 12: “Proud To Be A Charlatan”

October 24, 2024October 25, 2024by Stephen J Frankenberry6 Comments

So, four years ago in the last few weeks leading up to the election, that one of possibly the most dire consequence in this country’s history, Democracy and rule of law vs budding fascist and a new American autocracy, I posted one of my Trump parody tunes a day until the election, 17 days in all (no reason on the 17 by the way, I just happened to get started 17 days out after a good friend offered me the tune a day suggestion, plus that was Bob Walk’s #).

Though, he was out of office the thought that I might not have a lot of material to work with because of such did strike me in my joy of him losing the election decisively by about 7 million votes and 60 or so dismissed court challenges no matter what he or his minions hoping to keep favor may have claimed and continue to claim, or just keep deflecting, angrily, at the question. Oh, and a failed coup too.

No, sadly, there was still plenty to work with. And I continued accordingly.

Well, with this election “Trumping” the last (pun intended) in the way of dire consequence, continued Democracy and rule of law vs full blown, full throated, unapologetic fascism now and unhinged promises of retribution against any and all that may have had or do have the temerity to question or contradict a new dystopia’s great leader, I thought I would do so again.

So, A little short of two weeks now until what is truly a referendum on Democracy vs Fascism and I will post a tune a day again (maybe more as this could be my last freedom of speech gasp) in hopes that that last exercise of mine four years ago could prove to be of luck again.

Well, no better place to start than Lee Greenwood then huh? The ironic “Proud To Be An American” anthem of Trump and his disciples as his intentions, and theirs by supporting him, are anything but American.
