The Lyrics

On October 20th, Michael Moore will speak at Utah Valley State College (BYU's next-door neighbor). The Right is apoplectic - alumni are withdrawing contributions, the student government is facing a recall, and The Powers That Be have decided to bring in Sean Hannity for "balance." The Left is outraged, wondering why, after a stream of conservative speakers, balance is suddenly an issue. Fun times. I'd love to be there to witness Armageddon, but, alas, tickets sold out weeks ago.
You better watch out
You better all flee
You better phone threats to UVSC
Michael Moore is comin' to town

He's gonna get booed
He's gonna get pissed
He's gonna say Bush is Satan's right fist
Michael Moore is comin' to town

He'll see lines of pro-testors
From campus to the mall
He'll prob'ly face a firing squad
This is Utah after all!

So -
You better store food
And drinks you don't like
We're 'bout to get hit by Hurricane Mike
Michael Moore is comin' to town

He knows he won't win converts
He knows it's hardly worth
The search for nonconformists here
In the reddest state on earth

Oh -
You better watch out
You better pray hard
You better renew your NRA card
Michael Moore is comin' to town!

As always, I'm oh-so proud to be from Utah! No new points of view here, thank you very much!

I haven't had a chance to listen to this, but knowing you, it's fabulous...

Spaff AND Claude submit one on the same day? Christmas must come early this year. So true. I can't stand the man, so naturally I'm a huge fan of this parody.

Mormons have been known to have five wives, and Spaff gets five points. After all, you're good, for goodness' AND badness' sake.

This is awesome! 555! LOL HILARIOUS!

Excellent parody. It is interesting that, in an 8,500 seat arena in Utah, Moore (10/20) is already sold out and there are still tickets available for Hannity (10/11).

Oh the trauma, oh the drama, Why didn't they get the Dahli Lama? EXCELLENT work Spaff!! I am SO tired about hearing this on the news! We had a drive by shooting right next door and that was only on the news for a day, but this has been going on for weeks! People in Utah are messed up! (Myself included!)

Come on guys, let's all email Michael Moore and get this song onto his next documentary!

You were late. We're deducting $2 mil from your fee. Is gold acceptable, or must we convert to dollars American?

Tribute parody in the works for your stuff...in the meantime, will three more fives tide you over?

I'd have to say, as a Michael Moore fan living in Utah (a rare breed indeed), this song is sad but true and hillarious. Nice work Spaff.

I feel like I've already commented and shared a somewhat hilarious anecdote about this Spaff...crazy. I AM going to have to show this to my mom now...

Anyway...5s...=)

Outstanding. Maybe Moore is making a film about his little trip to Utah and secretly filming Colorado City, Arizona as well.

This would be great for Dubya to wake up to on the radio. Great, as usual Mr. Spaff. Long may you run. 555

Wow, I thought maybe a couple of Utahns would comment on this, but I didn't expect this kind of response. So thanx, Philbo & Sister Kicksass & Johngleberry & Johnny Divine & Patagio & Admiral 2nz & Jackie & Johnkins & Cookie-brother & SBL Group (I think) & Ingebordén & Bobes & Dee Prave!

Michaelopedia: Although I live among the Mormons, I'm actually a born-again libertine. And I prefer concubines.

Sister Evenstar: Funny, I'm having that same feeling of deja vu. But maybe it's just 'cause I heard that Marilyn Manson is guest-soloing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir this weekend.

Tim Hall: Long before the UVSC booking, rumors were circulating that Michael Moore was planning to focus his wrath (and cameras) on Utah's political idiosyncrasies. Which I don't understand; nothing unusual has ever occurred HERE.

Ravyn & Stevenagh & Peter chyd: Thanx for the "email MM" suggestion. Evidently he's gotten too large for AOL; I tried that address and it bounced back "mailbox full." So I've found and hit some other addresses (and y'all are certainly welcome to do so too) - mike@michaelmoore.com for general howdies and links@michaelmoore.com for, well, this page.
