The Lyrics

Tom Lehrer said something like "satire is dead" on hearing that Henry Kissinger had won the Nobel Peace Prize. I felt something similar on hearing that the country's highest-earning ex-PM, the warmonger Tony Blair had been given the "Philanthropist of the Year" award by GQ magazine.

Tony Blair has won, I hear
"Philanthropist of the Year"
The "Woman of the Year", I understand
WTF? Kim Kardashian
What next?

Kim Jong Un will win, I'm sure
"Best Dressed Tin-Pot Dictator"
Putin, I think, he must be picked
"Best homoerotic action pic"
What next?

"Services to Miners" - takes the pith
To Thatcher, shared with Cyril Smith
Boris Johnson's won another:
For "Services to Single Mothers"
What next?

Nick Clegg I reckon will get
Award for "Most obedient pet"
Now Cameron's in a mood
Sulks 'cause he wants one too
I'm sure t'would cause us all affront
If he didn't win... the year's biggest ....
What next?

Stalin's there - it's no surprise
Won the "Gulag Expansion" prize
You'll know the whole damn thing's gone wrong
When I win for this silly song
What next?
What next?
What next?
What next?

Ah, Mr Clone. So glad you could show up: I've written something just for you.

Phil, the 1-bomber is no clone of me. Your parody is excellent, with a rueful and sarcastic point of view. Strong POV is what most parodies are missing here. Many of them are mere word substitutions. Straight 5s.

It sure begins too look like the whole World is in one of its 1984ish switcheroo phases; The US military is siding up with Iran against ISIS and it feels like the most natural thing, Germany is so dependent on Russian gas that they basically has accepted that Ukraine goes back to the Commie Tsar Empire - and MTV has Lorde win an award for best rock song with Royals...

Very good spoof, particularly the last verse.

Peter - I've thought much the same kind of thing, though at least the world isn't doing the whole "we have always been with Iran against ISIS"

Hi JJ, good to see you around :-)

I've been practicing this.. I think it uses about twice as many different chords as the rest of my normal repertoire put together.
