How about we collaborate on a parody of the Charlie Daniels song _The Devil Went Down to Georgia_ befitting of current events? I’ll start off and feel free to add in and even edit previous contributions if you really think you can improve on them. Add a stanza, line, word, whatever.

Let’s Dopers show Weird Al and Capitol Steps a thing or two!

To start:

Donald Trump went down to Georgia  
He was looking for an election to steal  
He said I’m in a bind ‘cause I ended up behind  
So I’m willing to make a deal

He said I’m in a bind ‘cause I ended up behind  
So I’m willing to make a deal

So he found a politician, tried to get him in his plot.  
Up jumped Trump on his Twitter stump, and said  
"Boy, let me tell you what …

_Keep it up, Dopers … I think I see a new version for karaoke night coming out of this!!_

I’ll run a sting with you

You folks stole your last election, Brad  
So I’m gonna give you your due  
But find me 11,800 votes and I’ll keep Georgia from turning blue.

The gov said me’n my Secretary of State we’re just afraid you didn’t win  
We did the recounts and yer still on the outs  
So there’s no reason to do ‘em again

Donny poof up your thinnin’ hair and turn your orange face red  
‘Cause the Dems broke loose in Georgia and there’s just one way to get back ahead  
Threaten this cracker gov with jail if he don’t help you out

_(musical interlude, interspersed with soundbites about “witch hunts”, “Hunter’s laptop”, “being persecuted”, “The Big Steal”, and so on)_

When Trump finished bloviating, the courts said, “That’s enough.  
We’ve let you play and have your say, but now we’re getting tough.  
There’s a courthouse in Atlanta, and they’ve got a job to do,  
So get on your bus and follow us – the judge wants to talk to you!”
