I’m trying to write a humorous anti-Bush campaign song. Here’s what I’ve got so far. I’m not satisfied with the word choices or the scansion.  
George, George,  
George of the Bungle  
Screwing you and me  
Bomb it to debris!  
Bomb it to debris!

George, George,  
George of the Bungle  
Ruling by decree  
Bomb it to debris!  
Bomb it to debris!

When things get thick  
He wiggles out slick  
With the help of his friend,  
A dick named Dick!

Then he’ll lie some more  
And start a war  
While Colin and Condoleeza  
Play the whore!

George, George,  
George of the Bungle  
Screwing you and me!  
Bomb it to debris!  
Bomb it to debris!  
Can anyone help me improve it? Or come up with a different one?

Cute use of “George of The Jungle.” I wouldn’t touch a thing… except drop the “while” in the Colin and Condoleeza line.

Howsabout some funk? Curtis Mayfield, anyone?.

“I’m Your Bush-er, Man.”

I’m your daddy, not your mama,  
Did not serve in Vietnam-a!  
In the Texas Air Guard,  
Ducked my physical, wasn’t hard.  
Had to do it – I was high!  
Need no plane to kiss the sky!  
I’m your Bush-er, Man!  
I’m your Bush-er, Man!

😛 Good one!

Come on guys! Do it for the cause! In an election **this** close, a good song might just make the difference!

I’d keep the “while” and shorten her name to Condi.

I’m with **Mr2001** on that.

Also,I’d change ‘wiggles out slick,’ to 'slides out slick.'That reminds me of a slug,as does GWB. And I’d change 'a dick named dick,'to 'a prick named dick.'Two dicks in one short line is one too many.

Oooo,I feel like a naughty editor.

I’d junk the whole thing as it’s asinine, unfunny and incredibly ignorant.

We’ve known for at least a year know that this was gonna be the nastiest, bitterest presidential election cycle since 1972, **jsgoddess.** There’s nothing to be done about that. And I, for one, choose to just get down and wallow in it! 😃

Well, it could only go up from your original post. But thanks for confirming what I already thought of you.

Just more evidence of how desperate the Kerry people are - we’ll create a song and try to get the people who support the other side to off themselves - yeah!! :rolleyes:

If you wanna keep posting in this thread, **Rik,** come up with your own anti-Bush song. If you can.

You can’t tell me what to do. And I won’t make up any songs, and I’ll vote for Bush. nah-nah-nah-nah-naaaaah-nah.

And you want to have a political debate, post in the Great Debates forum and stop diguising it a song-writing contest here.

I start a lot of threads in GD. And I didn’t post this one there (or in the Pit) because a song is what I’m **looking** for. Is there anything in my OP or any subsequent post that could be read as posing a question for debate? I want funny campaign songs! Against Bush! Why don’t you start your own thread and see if anybody can write a good anti-Kerry song? I promise to look into that thread, and I promise not to crap in it. (Much. 😉 )
