(accordion intro)
I’m packing up my things I’ll soon be leaving
I’m going to blow this town
It was there I met this girl, pleading
Help! Get me out this house
The word is getting out here in Cleveland
It’s no place to let your daughters hang around
Just listen to the wail of the sirens
In Cleveland the kidnap town
(accordion solo)
(more accordion solo)
The word is getting out to the nation
This is not the place you want to settle down
How could they miss the warning signs for ten years
In Cleveland the kidnap town
(accordion outro)
I’m packing up my things I’ll soon be leaving
I’m going to blow this town
It was there I met this girl, pleading
Help! Get me out this house
The word is getting out here in Cleveland
It’s no place to let your daughters hang around
Just listen to the wail of the sirens
In Cleveland the kidnap town
(accordion solo)
(more accordion solo)
The word is getting out to the nation
This is not the place you want to settle down
How could they miss the warning signs for ten years
In Cleveland the kidnap town
(accordion outro)

I'm going to abstain from voting for this because honestly over than pacing it would be all 1s because this just isn't a funny topic. These girls were raped and locked away for 10 years by a couple of complete a-holes. I live in Cleveland so this touches home for me so I can't vote for this one in all honesty because the news report and this parody both really upset me.
You should have seen the video by Mike Polk.
The polka accompaniment gives this the element of black humor it needs - quite an ingenious match, but I can understand how some would find this in bad taste. Then again, accuse any comedian of 'bad taste' and watch them bite your head off. Well done Onslaught, edgy stuff. We all feel for those girls - it goes without saying, but that's irrelevant here. So is wherever you happen to live, I think, Matthias. Are these victims' lives any more precious than those of any other of the countless atrocities you care to name around the world?
