"This Slanders Your Land"

Parody Written by:

Johnny D

This slanders your land
This slanders my land
From California
To the New York island
From the redwood forests
To the Gulf Stream waters
This slander's playin' through TV

As I was watching
Our satellite highway
From far above me
An endless shite-spray
Beamed down to show me
Where viewers dally
This slander's playin' through TV

This slanders your land
This slanders my land
From Caw-lee-for-nya
To the New York island
From the redwood forests
To the Gulf Stream waters
This slander's playin' through TV

I've phoned and voted
For American Idol's
Singer-egos so bloated
They won't stay idle
And not scream and whine
Like strangled felines
This slander's playin' through TV

This slanders your land
This slanders my land
From Caw-lee-for-nya
To the C.S.I. land
From the redwood forests
To the Gulf Stream waters
This slander's playin' through TV

Sit-coms come whining
As I was trolling
My clicker's clicking
An' my lust now's growing
It's sex they're selling
In voices panting
This slander's playin' through TV

This slanders your land
This slanders my land
From Caw-lee-for-nya
To the Donald Trump Hand
From the Regis Philbins
To the Gulf Stream waters
This slander's playin' through TV

As I was watchin'
I saw an ad there
And that ad said,
"E-lect MY man!"
But then the other side,
Said "NO, he's a nothin!"
This slander's playin' through TV

This slanders your land
This slanders my land
From Caw-lee-for-nya
To the New York Thigh-Cam
From the redwood forests
To the golfing otters
This slander's playin' through TV

There was Superman's "Smallville"
With the Kent family's tractor
"Tractor" or "Tom Welling"
Which one's the actor?
Seems no one's grumblin'
Or even wonderin'
Why
This slander's playin' through TV

This slanders your land
This slanders my land
From Caw-lee-for-nya
To the new dork I am
From the Regis Philbins
To the Gulping Daughters
This slander's playin' through TV

This slanders your land
This slanders my land
From California
To the New York island
From the redwood forests
To the Gulf Stream waters
This slander's played for you and me!

It's a vast wasteland,
Content from waste gland,
Mostly crapola,
And up high it's pilin'.

JD - I wasn't able to get on much yesterday but I'm glad I caught this one today even if it is a "re-run" it's better than most of the crap on the old boob toob anytime. Excellent wordplay, rhyming and pacing. I'm calling your cable company to ask them to expand your viewing to 555 channels.
