Yep, Fidel Castro effected major change, all right, turning a prosperous nation into a third-world puppet of the Soviet Union. There have been novels and movies on that theme, e. g., "The Boys From Brazil". (cloning Third Reich members who fled there)

Your dream scares me. I'd not admit to that. And I'd never clone myself, per the outro, because I know that one of me is more than enough for the world.

Was expecting a different use for "69". DKTOS, so no vote. Wouldn't have been high, though -- not one of your better efforts.

According to Wikipedia, your definition of "69" was the one Bryan Adams had in mind when he wrote the song. His co-writer, and most listeners, I would imagine, linked the music to the year of the moon landing and Richard Nixon's first term. Listen to it on youtube, it can be interpreted both ways, and there's no reason at all that it couldn't be both. Great melody by the way, which is how I usually judge songs first. My brother can tell me what the meaning is. I know the world would be a better place if I ran it, simply because I'm too lazy to interfere with what other people want to do. Fidel Castro made a mess of things. I once found a book in a thrift store about 10 years ago. It was called "The Coming End of Castro". It was already 10 years old. As I recall, William Walker was shot for his efforts. As was Michael Collins. Gandhi tried a different approach. Same result. Better advice might be found in the Beatles' "Revolution". If you look back through my cloning songs, you'll see the general theme runs to the line from the old commercial "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature. As I used to say, when they made me, they broke the mold--first.

One of the problems I have is that songs which seem very familiar to me turn out to be completely unknown to many of the participants in this site. Not that I recognize many of the newer songs that some folks are reworking. Before I can write a parody, I have to "like" the song and know it fairly well. Most new stuff just doesn't "register". The other day I found a slip of paper in a cookie at a Chinese restaurant. It said that I would become an "accomplished" writer. Didn't say what I would "accomplish". I'm starting to reach the end of the line of songs that I know and like. But there may be a few parodies left in me yet.

Saw the title and had visions of troops engaged in mutual oral satisfaction.

"Don't Ask, Don't Tell", then "Make Love, Not War". When the troops ran out of ammunition some were heard to say "Now we're f*cked". You and Tommy seem to think along similar lines. Why don't you listen up on youtube and see what you can do with this melody.

I DK most newer songs, too, except that they keep remaking the oldies. But hey, you never run out -- you *are* allowed to do the same OS more than once. No links or plugs here, but go to TT Author page, click on "Original Title, which will sort them by that, and you can see -- many, many reworkings of "Goldfinger", "Major-General": "Supercal", "Yesterday", and many others, including, of course, the most being "I Only Want To Be With You", of which TT parodied his own obsession with that song. Doesn't seem as though you''ve v/c'd that, so here's the one link, which will contain links to all versions:

"Before I can write a parody, I have to "like" the song and know it fairly well.". Which is why the gracious offer to do a spin on this OS will be graciously declined, thank you.

Don't like the song, but the OS title made for a perfect, syllable-matched switch to what I had in mind. Also, from your expressed views, thought that you might agree with the thesis, though of course I could be mistaken.

Agree with your view about being too lazy (or philosophically opposed) to running people's lives, but then, as Lord Acton said, "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Cheers.

Almost didn't read this one because of the, er, 'pleasant' title, but I'm glad the temptation got the best of me. Loved it! Your imagination took off on this one, and I really enjoyed the visual of you going back to the drawing board again and again. 5's. Would like to see more of this type of inventiveness.

For a variety of reasons I don't like to do songs about sex or excrement, of which there seem to be many on this site. Cloning, somehow, became a recurrent theme with me. Saw that Star Wars movie where an evil warlord cloned soldiers to fight a war of conquest. Given my resources, I doubt I could take on the Republic of Molossia. At last report it had a Naval Infantry unit of two men, armed with Model 1853 Enfield muskets. TT: Maybe I should switch to cloning sheep. Look up "Barnyard Commandos" on Google.
