Hi, my name is Gary. I have been making up song parodies for years, as many of my friends and family will attest. Being easily bored, and of a mischievious nature, I often times put different words to songs when I sing along with the radio, to humor myself. I can do this most of the time "on-the-fly," much to the chagrin of my ex-wife, who often said, "Must you ruin every song I like?" However, it was not until late in 2002 that I stumbled across amiright, and then decided to actually write down some of my own song parodies, and come up with new ones.
Some of my parodies are political in nature, being a Republican raised by dyed-in-the-wool Democrat parents, while others are commentaries on events or personalities in the news. Still others are merely mindless banter. My parodies are only for fun, I don't really hate anyone or anything. I write them when inspired to do so, and when I have the time. I appreciate the votes, and the comments (I make my share of blunders, as many can attest, so don't be afraid to call me on them!).
The name "Bubba" comes from my first song parody at amiright, "God Bless the N.R.A." I envisioned this song from the point of the stereotypical gun owner, so I used the pseudonym "Bubba." After I decided to submit other song parodies on amiright, I wanted them to all be under the same name, so I guess I am stuck with it (although nobody outside of this Web site knows me by that name). I work as an IS technologist at a nuclear power plant; I was born in 1960, am divorced, and live in a small Kansas town along with two dogs and a parakeet.
Due to technical difficulties in my life, I took nearly a two-year hiatus from amiright, from late 2003 until August 2005. I'm glad to be back, and hope with a fresh mind and even more time on my hands, I hope to have more parodies on the board very soon!
