The Lyrics

It was forty years ago today
Sgt. Teddy got drunk on parade
In his Delmont, he did crash with style
And Mary Jo died while he smiled
Well, let me introduce to you
The accident from all these years
Sgt. Teddy, Chappaquiddick man

Sgt. Teddy, Chappaquiddick man
He was drunk and crashed the show
Sgt. Teddy, Chappaquiddick man
Kick back and let the car go flow
Sgt. Teddy, Chappa-
Sgt. Teddy, Chappa-
-quiddick man

His scotch was in his window
Mary Jo he did kill
He's voice of all the democrats
They'd love to take him home and blush, they'd love to take him home
I don't really wanna stop this show,
But I know you might like to know
That the democrats are pedophiles
In their apartments, they make love with style
And let me introduce to you,
The one and only Barney Frank!
Sgt. Teddy, Chappaquiddick man
- Dedicated to Mary Jo Kopechne, 1940-1969

First of all, I am a so-called 'right-winger' and secondly I intensely dislike Ted Kennedy.

HOWEVER....

I find vitriol-filled political parodies on either the left or the right to be offensive. It IS possible to write a parody making fun of political persuasions or persons and still be funny. Unfortunately, most persons writing such cannot get the chip off their shoulder and the hate out of their hearts long enough to actually do so.

Continue to write this type of stuff and no one will take you seriously, and eventually they will just ignore you. You might be singing to the choir, but I guarantee the choir will get smaller and smaller until you lack an audience at all. It's your choice, you can play attention grabber for awhile, or you can settle down and attempt to write some decent and funny parodies. If you decided to do the latter, then my well-wishes go with you.

5-1-1. Again pacing was perfect, but this song was absolutely of bad taste. It began as a witty warning of dangers of drunk driving (on which I absolutely agree - I've lost a friend to a drunk driver) but in the middle the song became just political insulting and going into personalities.

I agree with Meriadoc with full heart. While Edward Kennedy might not be the most saintly and impeccable characters around, the parodies can easily turn flat if they get just mere insulting and ranting. They easily turn against themselves - and get the effect you didn't want. That is the reason why I don't do political parodies; they easily turn flat unless you really grab onto some human weakness and stick to it. The "democrats are paedophiles" line was the absolute rock bottom. It was an outright libel. Whether or not you like the Flaky Party, firing such insults are on their own to stample you yourself as a tasteless amateur and trash your credibility as a writer. If you had stuck on just the drunk driving theme, your score - along with your credibility - would have been higher.

Linda Ter-loon - I mean Proud American - is this all that you have? I could do a better parody to Watergate - which I'm sure "does not bother you." Let's continue to try to educate you: Name a pedophile who served in Congress - Mark Foley. Name a right-wing bible-thumper who practices beastiality - Neal Horsely. Name a bible-thumping anti-gay hypocrite who is bisexual - Ted Haggard. Foley, Horsely and Haggard - it's like the holy trinity for right-wing, bible-thumping, sexual deviants, sexual predetors and hypocrites. Now, if you'd also like to talk about killers - how about George Bush? Laura Bush?

I agree 100% with Meriadoc...and on that basis won't rate this parody.

ProudAmerican--Get it together. No matter how well paced you get your parodies(and that's a big step forward over LinDUH Loon), if you allow the vitrol and venom to come thru, you will ruin your parodies every time and soon no one will bother to even read your parodies, let alone comment or rate them. No vote here either.

Ted was not drunk. He tried to save Mary Jo and failed. No one has ever proven there was anything "going on" between them. She was a campaign worker for his brother Bobby, whom he loved with a depth of emotion you only reserve for hatred. In his mind, doing her a favor -- trying to get her home -- was doing Bobby a favor. He drove on a narrow bridge with no guardrail and no lighting, which was soon replaced with a modern structure. He should've reported it sooner. And that's it. Now, about Dubya's grandpa Prescott Bush doing business with the Nazis as late as 1942... or is that too far back to go? And while this parody was hopelessly bad, I find it ironic that you use a parody of the most drug-accused album in history! You don't seem to be getting by, you need more than a little help, and I doubt you have any friends.

To the Ter-Loon idiot's comments above: Barney Frank is gay, so what? Is that a crime? Why do you care? And don't give me that crap that the bible "outlaws" gays. The bible is not America's law of the land, the Constitution is - whether you like it or not. You have the nerve to condemn homosexuality but not beastiality as practiced by your mentor Neal Horsely? You know what, I'm sure I've had more partners than you - softball to you, now hit it out - but I don't ever remember having my hand in anyone's anus nor teaching anyone to put it in mind - call me a prude. And to those who do, so what? I believe that what ever goes on passionately or sexually between two consenting adults is their own business. Obviously you are sexually frustrated - can't your church or bible help with that one? By the way, am I "idiot dhimmicrap"? Ted is constantly drunk? Now there you go again telling lies - isn't that a sin? Oh, and speaking of hypocrites - how is your buddy Mark Foley doing? Have you annointed him a saint yet?
