AmIRighters are smarter than your average listener? With a lot of the submissions I've read lately, I'm not so sure anymore. But this one is good.

the contrast between this and the original lyrics cracks me up

A little outdated newswise but a good parody.

I like

McKludge: Well, a few of them are, anyway, and we can choose to write to that few :-) thanks McK.
alvin: ...and the biker/Edwards image is quite a contrast too, no? :) thanks alvin.
Timmy1000: I wasn't allowed to post these while they were being played on the radio, as the stations who download them are guaranteed exclusive use by the producer. With the elections over (finally!), they became obsolete, and I was permitted to post them. Some of my others have been posted over the past couple of months. Thanks for v/c.
Ann Hammond, I thank.

Nice clippin on John, here.

I like your cutting edge humor. Parodists might miss John Edwards, but I don't think that voters will.

AFW (lol), thanks.
John Jenkins (lol^2), thanks... agree on both counts.

Nice updating - bikers to yuppies.

LOL -- thanks 2Eagle.

Ohhh. . . . what would we NorCAL tokers do, without those ~Biker Boys~ ! eh, sir ?

MadameDeTokerVille: I guess you'd have to settle for parody writers! Thanks for v/c, MDTV.

Yeah, now that you mention it... well written parody. Especially liked the sub: 'Smile all of your gums at once'

Glen S., thanks much.

After listening to the excellent video you had produced for this, I felt obliged to v/c, even though I'm way late to the party....555!!!...It's too bad you couldn't have had this produced as a music video, as well...I can just visualize pretty boy John rolling into a styling salon on an Easy Rider bike to have his styling done.

Leo Keough: LOL at the image of JE biking into the salon!!! ... brings back memories of Al Whatshisname riding a motorcycle onto a stage to try to "get down" with the college crowd.

Someone- JibJab I think; search the Web for it -- did some Internet videos mocking both the GW Bush ticket and the Kerry/Edwards ticket. The latter had Edwards in red bikini underwear, which was a ROFL moment - talk about "pretty boy" ;-D

Please don't apologize -- in TT's book, it's *never* too late to v/c. I still get hits on songs from 2006 (first year here), and appreciate atl. Thanks for taking time to read//v/c.

Just saw an ad for Spielberg's "Lincoln" movie. Can you imagine what the make-up and hair styling people would have to do to make him look "presentable" for today's TV audience? According to legend, a little girl told Lincoln he would look better with a beard, so he complied. Maybe that's where this whole theme started. I still get hits on my stuff years after, and they can't all just be me going back to admire my poetry. But after the first two days, I almost never get a comment.

One would hope that they'd make up the actor to look as Lincoln actually did. I had heard that story, too -- it may be true.
  I get comments because nice readers like you leave them. :) Thanks for the read and comment.

From what I've seen of the ads, Daniel Day Lewis looks exactly like the photos of Lincoln I have seen. Spielberg is a stickler for detail. Lincoln missed the era of sound recordings. I recall reading about one actor who played the role who went to southern Indiana and listened to older people to get the pre-television accent and speech pattern. Lincoln was not the first president to sit for his picture, but he was the first to be photographed over an extended time frame and in a number of settings. If he is the man I've seen in the Gettysburg photo, it appears he may have had a bald spot on the top of his head, near the back. There are enough photos of Lincoln that you can see him visibly age over a relatively short time. Very stressful job and some truly trying times that he would have gladly swapped for what we're facing. Looking forward to this movie.

I think the stress of office has aged Obama, too. He had solid black hair just a few years ago, and has gone noticeably and rapidly gray. Also, less perk in his voice and step vs. the energetic, charismatic campaigner in 2008. It's a tough job for anyone, but yes, the Civil War was probably the toughest time of all.
