Song Parodies -> "Midnight Out With The Racists"
Original Song Title:
"Midnight At The Oasis"
Original Performer:
Maria Maldaur
Parody Song Title:
"Midnight Out With The Racists"
Parody Written by:
Peregrin
The Lyrics
Okay, a few items: Peregrin is submitting this under a single name as he and Merry have a long standing agreement that together, we would only do comedy. This parody just kept flowing once the title appeared in my head. It is not a funny subject and is not meant to be funny as a parody. It was simply something I felt compelled to put on paper once I began. Lastly, as I am from the land of Green and Gold, rather than that of the Red, White & Blue, please excuse any factual misunderstandings I may have inadvertently introduced...I researched it as best I could.
Midnight out with the racists
Burning embers descend
Bedsheets hidin' their faces
Traces of nothing in their heads
Kevin's holdin' a harpoon
Ty, a blunderbuss
Jed, he's forming a platoon, (of) buffoons
It's sick, much to my disgust
Come on, Ku Klux Klan pretends
"Here's the righteous way"
Crap on, KKK intends
To rid the place of blends
Hide behind this answer:
"There's freedom to speak"
The First Amendment's big err, (is to) confer
Their right to havoc, wreak
The Yellow Jackets and Redcaps
Were models for them though
They drew their name from a Greek Word, it is absurd
'Kyklos', if you must know
But anti-semitism, honey
Continues to divide
And they don't give a damn, no - no, so
We must take and cast aside
Come on, KKK's a trend
We must get out the way
Come on, cannot comprehend
Those who would defend
Midnight out with the racists
End the clanner deadheads
Got bedsheets hidin' their faces
Space filled with nothing in their heads
Oh, come on
Burning embers descend
Bedsheets hidin' their faces
Traces of nothing in their heads
Kevin's holdin' a harpoon
Ty, a blunderbuss
Jed, he's forming a platoon, (of) buffoons
It's sick, much to my disgust
Come on, Ku Klux Klan pretends
"Here's the righteous way"
Crap on, KKK intends
To rid the place of blends
Hide behind this answer:
"There's freedom to speak"
The First Amendment's big err, (is to) confer
Their right to havoc, wreak
The Yellow Jackets and Redcaps
Were models for them though
They drew their name from a Greek Word, it is absurd
'Kyklos', if you must know
But anti-semitism, honey
Continues to divide
And they don't give a damn, no - no, so
We must take and cast aside
Come on, KKK's a trend
We must get out the way
Come on, cannot comprehend
Those who would defend
Midnight out with the racists
End the clanner deadheads
Got bedsheets hidin' their faces
Space filled with nothing in their heads
Oh, come on

cleverly written
Very fine wordplay... I love the contrast of the subject matter with my imprinted memory of Maria Muldar's (sp?) etherial melifulous voice....
Muldaur, ethereal, mellifluous
What Alvin said.
Thank you, Spelling Cop... what's your tori? In the future I'll use spell chak...
You go girl. 5's Shuck's I just might paint your name on our town's water tower for dis.
Even tho' I could not get into the subject matter, and like to keep our own stuff light, I nevertheless think this is a fine piece of work on Pippin's part! Good job.
An improvement on the original and, like TJC said, imagining Maria Muldaur singing it makes a big contrast
Another politically correct interpretation - that will get their white hoods off - thanks for making it clear once and for all.
brilliant title sub, Pip! once you came up with that you HAD to honour it - you could have written it with a Cronulla theme too I suppose, but then the Yanks wouldn't have gotten it at all - 555
DKTOS, but fives. Is the land of green and gold Brazil?.
* steps in to roll eyes on Peregrin's behalf *
Brilliant!
Witty, slick, & five-worthy.
I'm white and I still like it
Note to Lionel Merton's 'you go girl' - I have met Pippin and can swear that he in no 'girl' - 'cept we like to keep Malcolm thinking that... ;-)
Memo to Susan V : No, I'm from Australia. In our case (and New Zealand's for example) national colours do not match national flags :)
Very clever and perfectly executed !
