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)

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 6: “Stuck In Democracy’s Fight”

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 8: “Don’t Go Back To Trumpville”

October 28, 2024by Stephen J FrankenberryLeave a Comment

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

Election Day Trump Parody Song Countdown: T-Minus 9 : “Brand New Trump Key”

October 27, 2024by Stephen J FrankenberryLeave a Comment

Back in January I visited Melanie’s “What Have They Done To My Song” for another of my parodies, I’ve been working this angle for going on 7 years now with quite a lot of tunes, a boatload, and blah blah blah Steve, yes, your editorials in song as blah blah blah, no one is going to read any straight up editorial blah blah blah but if you put them to tune blah blah blah … you’ve told us.

But that is what it is and what I do though, I gotta say, in my own defense, they are all pretty toe tap worthy, biting and spot on and just darned good in that biting and spot on and toe tappingness.

Anyway, visited Melanie again and her “Brand New Key” now, a tune reminded the other day out of the corner of my ear at work from the ‘Magic’ station playing at my boss’s desk.

So, “Brand New Trump Key” then.

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

Brand New Trump Key

I rode my motorcade to your city last night

To spin some lies and give you all such a fright

To harp on victim-like and rail conspiracies

I know you trust me know I’m just what you need

Well, I’ve got brand new world in mind here now

Take heart my unhinged screed

I’ll be proven right my ranting now

You just need to wait and see

I know what you need it’s a Donnie me

A fascist change of scene

Well, I’ve got a brand new world in mind here now

It just ain’t democracy

I ride my plan of year twenty of twenty five

I got my dee-scipes proving be worthy scribes

Of new world order in these United States

If you don’t subscribe you’ll surely be less than great

Oh yeah

Hah hah hah hah

Oh you will face my wrath

Hah hah hah hah

Oh yeah yeah yeah you’ll wish you hadn’t said that

I ask my people to stand up and be strong

Kiss my ring say they knew it all all along

That I was chosen by the man sittin’ way up high

To lead a fascist state while democracy dies

Well, I’ve got a brand new way to look at things

Won’t believe what I’ll bring

A brand new U.S.A. prosperity

‘long as you call me King

La la la la la la la la la la la

Well, I’ve got a brand new world in mind here now

It just ain’t democracy

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)

(originally posted May 11, 2024)

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

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?

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.
