The Lyrics
As a byproduct of my recent parody, Parody, this li’l stinker* may not gain any steam, especially considering how quickly I cranked it out.
* For those who may find this spinoff execrable and unnecessary, I have one word: Scat!
* For those who may find this spinoff execrable and unnecessary, I have one word: Scat!
She got junk in her trunk
Obama Mama copped a squat and it stunk
Left it floatin’ all alone
In the pearly White House Commode
Growin’ up poor and black
All they had was an outhouse in back
A toilet INSIDE their abode?
What a luxury: White House Commode!
But they’re not the only ranks it has enthroned
How could you shoulder such loads, White House Commode?
[interlude - lots of tinkling on the ivories]
Boehner came in a rush
Once again earned the name Double Flush
Barry heard him, yelled, “You’ve been told:
Stop usin’ the White House Commode!”
“But at home, the latrine’s not up to code
It’s the best potty you’ve throne: White House Commode!”
Bring some Handi Wipes® and a mask
Hold your nose while you handle this task
Wipe it down, be proud to show
Visitors the White House Commode
And it’s not just stately stool that has been bowled
Oh, what secrets do you hold, White House Commode?
Obama Mama copped a squat and it stunk
Left it floatin’ all alone
In the pearly White House Commode
Growin’ up poor and black
All they had was an outhouse in back
A toilet INSIDE their abode?
What a luxury: White House Commode!
But they’re not the only ranks it has enthroned
How could you shoulder such loads, White House Commode?
[interlude - lots of tinkling on the ivories]
Boehner came in a rush
Once again earned the name Double Flush
Barry heard him, yelled, “You’ve been told:
Stop usin’ the White House Commode!”
“But at home, the latrine’s not up to code
It’s the best potty you’ve throne: White House Commode!”
Bring some Handi Wipes® and a mask
Hold your nose while you handle this task
Wipe it down, be proud to show
Visitors the White House Commode
And it’s not just stately stool that has been bowled
Oh, what secrets do you hold, White House Commode?

You nailed yourself in your intro. Curb your newbie enthusiasm. To paraphrase John Houseman: "Make fives the old-fashioned way. Earn them."
Nice to meet you too, Smith Barney. You are obviously someone who knows what he's looking for in a parody, and it only took me a month to stumble upon it and elicit an expression of your patronage. I wasn't trawling for 5s or anything else; I was simply alluding to the work that inspired this one so it wouldn't seem completely out of left field; subtler minds will understand this. So, do you have any other constructive criticism, or is it just your job to put newbies in their place? Thanks for stopping by, wise one.
Can't disagree with Smith. Found this uninteresting, although I've enjoyed a few of your others. CHIBW - you're no longer a newbie. Bad sign if you have to disparage your own work (not rated).
A junk parody worthy of 1s.
You know, I disagree with your disagreers. I think it's a great spoof, not really all
that mean spirited, and some fine puns and lines, like "tinkling on the ivories" and
"best potty you've throne".. Refreshing. This site needs more of this, "off the cuff" humor. Urine a roll! I'd like to hear Celine Dion sing this at the White House, Poor Celine!
Right on, Hitch!
Like the rest of the Obamas-haters, you're full of crap.
GCD: You've enjoyed a few of my others - which ones? All the comments I've gotten from you have been complaints; I had to review all my pubs just now to find a single one where you had anything truly positive to say. You and SB are both more interested in looking for stuff you don't like and doling out criticism, so you decided to interpret my link at the top as shameless self promotion. As little traffic as this site gets and as freely as folks dispense the 1s and the mehs, it's not like I'm expecting or need to see some huge uptick in my views. I do welcome constructive criticism and honest votes, but save your tsk-tsks. Didn't you realize the footnote up top was for you? (Security code 5FU: one for you, SB, and three more of your friends)
anon: A junk review hardly worthy of this response (but then, how would anybody know?)
Hi Hitch - I am glad to know someone sees this in the light it was intended and didn't mind saying so. Thank you! Honestly, I was so proud of myself for the "Double Flush" line that I nearly had an accident. :-O
Hey, Caulk: ditto what I said to Hitch. :-) Thanks for the comment.
Oh, Michael Pacholek, you are so confused - but I admit, I can be inscrutable at times. You must go back and read the replies people post to the comments that you post on their songs. You might learn something! ;-)
Enough, already, Chris! The inescapable, incontrovertible, immutable fact is that your parody is pointless and puerile. Accept reality, or the resident decaying doctor will give you his painful treatment for logorrhea.
Hey Mackenzie King, that's just, like, your opinion, man; calling it a fact does not make it so. The world would be much improved were they fewer folks like you going around mistaking their opinions for facts. Thanks for showing your colors.
Funny and gross. But I don't like the implication that B.O. grew up in the backwoods with no flushing. 544.
Did I start this by commenting that the White House Commode might be a good topic for a parody? I'm still trying to recall the original song. It was short and rather crude, too. I liked the Double Flush and Throne lines, too. Security code for this one CYS, could have some significance.
Thanks, Agrimorfee, for your comment and vote. I share in your distaste for the idea that either of them could have had such a rustic rearing, so to speak, but it worked so well in both paralleling TOS and matching the spirit and theme of my reimagining, I found the line impossible to leave out.
Hey Patrick, no, it really wasn't going to take much encouragement for this gem to see the light of day. As soon as I'd rhymed "Tobacco Road" with "White House commode" in that other parody, I knew it had to be. Thanks for your two cents! (security code SYK)
