Parody Song Title:

"Oh, Teresa"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

The Lyrics

Oh, Teresa, oh Teresa, it's a shame you
Tell people to "shove it," and you rarely smile.
And the hard right tries its hardest to defame you,
While they justify Cheney's words�much more vile.

He's servile, your second lover, oh Teresa�
Must have signed a prenup, in case you should part.
Your dreamboat has made too many missteps.
He's a shy square, and he'll die there:
In the booth, no appeal, 'cause Teresa,
You're viewed as cold, rich, aloof patrons of the arts.

[Instrumental break]

[Repeat second verse]

Thanks, alvin. The original came from an elegant guy. What a voice!

555, beautiful, JB. Yeah, Nat King Cole had an awesome one-of-a-kind voice, didn't he? It's almost a little embarrassing to be parodying his hit songs...but...his songs are just so delightfully ripe for parody, I'd do it anyway! ;-)

Thanks, JD. Well, I've just done another parody of "Mona Lisa." It's a personal thing, but I won't touch anything by Warren Zevon, my favorite songwriter and a master satirst. I did do a couple of his a long time ago, but nothing since he passed.

I heartily agree with the last line.

Well done, John. A very good job of phrasing the question - Is Sen. Heinz-Kerry shy or aloof? I tend to find him more arrogant, but I certainly don't blame Teresa for the prenup.

This is great! 5's!
