The Lyrics
This is my first parody, I thought of it while waiting for a car. If you like it, I'll try to write another. I only thought of the first verse, and then I started improvising.
Sometimes I feel
Like I can't win elections
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the state that votes for me
Conneticut loves me
A big loser I am
President must be I
I campaign in Hampshire
'Cause Iowa hates me
I campaign quite poorly
'Cause I'm all alone
Al Gore won't vote for me
And I just lost to Kerry
I'll win the election
Now that is a lie
[chorus]
I really really wanna be
the next president
Vote for me at your caucus
And your primaries
It's hard to believe
that I didn't get one vote
It's hard to believe
That Dean will win the vote
At least I have support
The jewish, they love me
As few votes that I get
The jews, I rely
[chorus]
The democratic nominee
Is where my name will be
The democratic nominee
It will not be Kerry
The democratic nominee
I'll be the first Semite
The democratic nominee
I'll cast my vote to say
Like I can't win elections
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the state that votes for me
Conneticut loves me
A big loser I am
President must be I
I campaign in Hampshire
'Cause Iowa hates me
I campaign quite poorly
'Cause I'm all alone
Al Gore won't vote for me
And I just lost to Kerry
I'll win the election
Now that is a lie
[chorus]
I really really wanna be
the next president
Vote for me at your caucus
And your primaries
It's hard to believe
that I didn't get one vote
It's hard to believe
That Dean will win the vote
At least I have support
The jewish, they love me
As few votes that I get
The jews, I rely
[chorus]
The democratic nominee
Is where my name will be
The democratic nominee
It will not be Kerry
The democratic nominee
I'll be the first Semite
The democratic nominee
I'll cast my vote to say

DKTOS (Don't know the original song). Welcome to the site. It would be unfair for me to vote on your song without knowlege of the original. Please write more though and read and comment on what is out here. Most people new to the site get a feel for how good parody is done by looking at what others do and through the comments that are posted and read.
Hey, anyone out there know the original song who can cast an honest vote and comment? Please welcome one of our newest contributors.

I thought the pacing was quite good... it was funny, but not incredibly funny, but still a good solid first submission.
Hey, its the author... I've been here for a while, I just never submitted a parody until now because I never had any ideas. Thanks for the support, I might write another one soon.
ZSGhost - Very good effort, especially for 1st parody posting. I gave you 4-5-4 here and it wasn't far from "fives" in those other two categories. I only starting listening to much of the RHCP with their last album ("By The Way", which 'By the Way', is superb in my opinion), but was familiar with "Under The Bridge", which I really liked when I first heard it. By all means keep writing and posting here.
Pretty good, especially for a first submission. I liked the last stanza the most. Aside from what everyone else said, you might wanna actually type in what the lyrics are for the chorus, as opposed to just '[chorus]'. That would make the song easier to follow. I hope to see more when it comes to you. The more you submit, the better your 'improvisational skillz' will get.
This was your first one? Really? I like it. Lieberman annoys me too, and I'm Jewish and a Democrat! My suggestion: wait for more cars.
I'm a jewish democrat as well. I was originally supporting Lieberman, but after I took a test to decide which is best, I switched to Kerry.
Well, its official. Liberman dropped out about ten minutes ago.
YEAH
