HELL YEAH!

Well done, Spaffaroo!

Yeah, that's right: Death to all fanatics!!!

When you record this, will you have that chick from "plastic surgery for christmas" singing the "GOD BLESS MY BUSH!" line?

A more serious question from this European though: Is red the symbol for too-the-right and blue for too-the-left in America? The reason I'm asking is because at least in Scandinavia it's totally the opposite; red is the colour of the socialist and communist parties and blue is the colour of the conservative parties (and light blue is the colour of the liberals).

Good LORD, I am DYING. Too many funny lines to name, but I especially liked George W.M.D. This is brilliant. Fabulous. Practically perfect in every way.

Hmmm...wonder who gave you the ones...

Superb!

Spaff, you done it agin, you toothless,tobacca' chewin', gun totin' mutha'....durn near crapped ma britches readin' this'n.. Gud job. 555

Your definition of "red state women" is ignorant

I give up -- what's the mystery behind the all-caps sections?

(laughing too hard to think of a good comment!)

To Biotch - the the all-caps are in the original.

I just caught the "biiiii-assed" thing - this parody just has me giddy.

Thanks, Spaff! This blue-stater really needed a laugh!

That was one of the funniest things Ive herad on this sight in a long time. AZ WENT RED

I am soooo far behind in my comments that I don't know how I'll ever catch up. So thank y'all for your willingness to let me in the game even when I keep hiding in the locker room.

Thanx, Jeffaroo & Sister Kicksass & Jongleberry & Dee Moralizin' & Grandmaster Mel & Rantyn Rave & joebean!

Peter chyd: I love the suggestion - Chelsi Stahr does have one o'them voices - but I doubt that Robert Lund would touch this one. As for red/blue, an omnipresent image in the US during election years is a map of the country with the various states shaded red for Republican or blue for Democrat. So you nailed it - red has also become shorthand for right/conservative, and blue for left/liberal. I believe that color scheme was chosen specifically to confuse Scandinavians.

Royce: This parody is such a partisan rant that I'd be disappointed to NOT get a few comments like yours. So thanx.

Biotch: Caps do mean something else in parodies like this:
http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/julieandrewsmarypoppins5.shtml
But in this one, alas, they work on only one level (mimicking the volume spikes in the original). And/or what Gretchen said.

Emi: "Bi-assed" is a pun that just threw itself at me. And I cain't say no.

Holy cow, Spaff, this is brilliant! It's a shame if you think Robert Lund woundn't touch it, as the wit in here is on a par with your best. Can't quote favourite lines, there's too many :-D

Spaff, with all the great lines (and gee it goes well if you download the OS), my favourite is the simple "I don't let new thoughts in" - bravo, mate - 555

Yet another quality parody from Spaff. This "intellek-chu-al" enjoyed the hell out of it!

If you can't beat them, poke fun at them - that's what parodies are all about. And this is very well done. But, Spaff, I am curious about why you are suddenly starting to write left-leaning political parodies - has reading the parodies of Pacholek and Tong brought you over to the dark side?

John: Spaff is more than able to defend himself so this is MY opinion, and I would like to think that it's actually more of an analysis than an actuall opinon, and if that from some point of view makes me biased or even an intellek-chu-al liberal, so be it:

As a general rule (of parody and the like) it is always a more natural task – and from the point of all of society in the long run a healthier one - to make fun of those who have the power rather than those who merely strive for it. The latter are yet to prove that they deserve absolute mockery for achievements on the level where they are tempted by absolute corruption. In comparison they are still minor league wannabe representatives whereas whose who hold the office one mocks are the major league player (or players).

Also, all true parodists are against inconsistencies or at least have an hawk eye for it and since those who hold positions have more opportunities to build a record of inconsistencies they make the bigger source for inspiration, and since it is a rather natural thing to be against inconsistencies rather than for them all true parodists sooner or later come to the point where they must muck what they see in the world around them, regardless of from what point of view that is. Heck, even Coral Snake is a pro-Linux, pro-GNU guy against big conservative business the way it manifests in Microsoft's Monopoly.

Personally I'm no fan of the government I my country and I've written a couple of parodies about them. Still, if we were to have a regime change I'm pretty sure that some of the oppositional theoretical boozos that would then get to power would pretty fast give me material for parodies about them too, and I would probably not be able to resist it. It's OK to make fun of striving oppositionist but from the wievpoint of all of society it's IMPORTANT to have the argus part of your eye focused on those who are in charge. If enough people do it it's an insurance that they don't get absolutely corrupted (though it's also in the nature of the task that we say that they already are). :-)

END RANT TRANSMISSION! :-)

Thanks. I knew about the all-caps significants in Spaffs other stuff is why I asked.

Spaff: Sorry for killing the commenting on this one with my rant. This new comment should however make it reappear on the latest comments page.

I tip my hat and give 3 5's to Spaff, the validictorian of AmIRight.

I've done this song a couple times myself, and I must say you thought of some of the funniest lines - "WHO WOULD JESUS BOMB?" definitely a well-written parody... I'm Canadian and I still knew what you were takling about. Most political parodies leave me clueless to "who's that?" kind of thing.

Right on, right on. Their ignorance is bliss!

Doesn't matter if IDKTOS. This was vintage Spaff. If only it never had to be written.

LOL! That was great! 555!

That was very funny Spaff! Great work.

*TRY THIS AGAIN* "I get opinions from talk ra-di-o Not them biased magazines" WOULD YOU SAY THE SAME FOR THE LIMBAUGH LETTER AND THE WEEKLY STANDARD? WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO AL FRANKEN? "and there ain't no jobs no more" WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU IN? "So screw you all you lib'rals 'cause you'll never swing my state" LIKE WE HAVE A CHANCE OF SWINGING MASSACHUSETTS AND NEW YORK ANYTIME SOON? "till at least Two Thousand Eight" MAKE THAT JAN. 20, 2009 "I wonder why New York and D.C. Voted Democrat?" HMM..DC I KNOW, IT WAS THE ONLY PLACE MONDALE ONE BESIDES HIS HOME STATE. NEW YORK 2000: BUSH:35.2%; GORE:60.2%; NADER:3.6% NEW YORK 2004: BUSH:40.5%; KERRY:57.8%; NADER:1.5% HMM..EVEN THOUGH NADER'S VOTE FELL, SO DID JOHN KERRY'S. AND BUSH'S WENT UP BY A LOT. NOW WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT HAPPENED? "We call that Born Agin" NO, WE CALL THAT BORN AGAIN "God bless my Bush!" LET ME SAY IT AGAIN: GOD BLESS BUSH! 1-1-1 FOR THIS.

(SOTM) Good one, Spaff...even if I be one a them red state women.

Forgot to put this in my initial comment (SOTM) :)

Hope they include this in the skool books in a hunnert years, but not that there Ee-volution.

(SOTM) The mood in this parody is the same as the original. Curious. :-)

SOTM--up to your usual standards, Mr. Com. Um...Mr. Spaff. I don't know. Good job.

(SOTM) This blue-state woman is still laughing too hard to think of a good comment!

(SOTM) IF I PUT USED GUM ON MY CAPS LOCK KEY, PERHAPS IT WILL HELP ME SOUND INTELLIGENTER AND OR LOUD.

Thanx, Philbo & Stuart & Olvan & Scathe (I haven't graduated yet) & DJ64 & RJP & Michaelopedia & Jackie & Kooky Man & Rad & Scathe again & Arwen ("Oh Captain My Captain" will suffice) & Grandmaster Mel again.

Johnkins: Don't worry - I'm not going to write 1000 permutations of "Shrub Brat's Stolen Throne." I just had to blow off some steam.

Peterchyd: Thanks for your lovely essay on satire. I agree - it's all about stickin' it to The Man.

Guest: I'm pleased that we agree on virtually all of the key points, especially the "born again" thing (however y'all pronounce it).

Emi: RIGHT, BUT REMEMBER TO CHEW IT FIRST. ALSO, IT'S OK TO THROW IN some lowercase words FOR EMPHASIS.

(SOTM) Politically incorrect, but worth the flack.

HAW !

(SOTM) BTW, that "HAW !" was for the November SOTM.

(SOTM) already commented

Yee-haw. I mean, YEEHAW YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY BI-ASSED YOU PINKO COMMIE LIBERAL SORE LOOSER

I red it and re-red it. Good one.

(SOTM) I saw the exaggerated humor. Just. :-P

(SOTM) Absolutely brilliant. If I had to go through and comment about all my favorite lines, my comment would be pretty much as long as the original song ;). 5's, coming to you from the bluest of states (California). Good luck in the contest!

Er, what I meant to say was... GOOD LUCK in the CONTEST! ;)

(SOTM) Well, I think "brilliant" has been used more than a few times up in the above comments...but it still fits. The OS is DKTOS to me and being at a Kinko's I'm not prepared to deal with sound files. I'm going with "5's" here since 90+% of the voters are there on your pacing and the other 10% appear to be voting "1's" for political reasons rather than the merit of your work...Yeah, the "Red States" are definitely giving me the "Electoral Blues"...

I can't wait to hear the actual song!

Fabulous Spaff ... this one gets my vote for SOTM

This Blue State Woman (who unfortunately lives in a Red State) thinks your song is hilarious. :-)

Thanx, Tim Maystayinthedugout & Johnny DD (I think) & Stuartiste (again) & Gollum & Smeagol (I think) & menimen (twice) & CIAFGirl & Johnny "Helter Smelter" & Martha My Dear & Starlette!
C4P: Of the two of us, YOU'RE THE LOOSER. Heh heh.
P-Rob: Sounds like a Kink-y New Year's Eve. Ever hear Larry the Cable Guy's bit about surfing the Net naked? They finally kicked him out of the Kinko's.

What Claude Prez said - except most other bi-assed sore losers don't have your wit, sense of humor, and ability to rhyme means and magazines.

You deserve some sort of award, Johnkins, for suffering through parodies from the "other side" and still being able to say nice things about them.

1-1-1 for this song.

What John said. Is there an echo in here (Is there an echo in here...) I tried, but I can't really add anything further without it sounding like this.

2nz: What I said to John.
Zerla: You're trying to seduce me, aren't you?

Comedy is not your strong suit. How 'bout a new career? Try a trade school.

Just FYI...different Jeff above. I put my daughter to sleep every night listening to the Elves CD.

Jeff Reuben: Yikes - I'm totally gonna call Child Protective Services.
Other Jeff: You're trying to seduce me, aren't you?

That's right! MY BUSH is in Charge! lol lol j/k that was wicked

Gay

maddywoo: If I had a nickel for every time I'd heard that...
Jennie: Damn straight

What a bunch of freakin weirdos.........You people got too much time on your hands.

It's hard to believe such a calamity.
