YouTube – "That’s Immoral" song contest
When the President stood before the Republican-controlled Congress and confessed boldly that he broke the FISA law, how did Congress react? It gave him a standing ovation. While Israel and Lebanon are on fire and civilians die by the truckload, the right-wing Congress yawns. More than 2,500 of our precious men and women in uniform have died in Iraq. Republicans say “more of the same!”
If these earth-shaking issues don’t interest Congress, what are they interested in? Well, while the world is going to hell in a hand basket, the Neo-Conservatives are attempting to pass what they call a "Values" agenda.
So far the Republicans have expressed the following values:
Immigrants: bad
Ignorance: good
Speaking your mind in Washington: bad
Spying without a warrant: good
Flag burning: bad
Fag bashing: good
You get the idea. I don't know when “hate” became an American value, but that seems to be the only agenda this Congress knows.
Well, in this atmosphere of a few right-wingers trying to shove their values down our throats, I have a challenge for you! Almost everybody is familiar with the song "That's Amore" as sung by Dean Martin. Well, there are so many things the Republicans stand for that seem immoral to me. So, I've written a little takeoff called “That’s Immoral.” The words are below.
I’d like to hold a “YouTube – ‘That’s Immoral’ song contest.” Here are the rules. There are no rules. All you have to do is sing some version of the song below, post it on YouTube.com, and then send me the link at tloyd@cultureshift.com! It doesn’t have to be these exact words. If you have suggested improvements for the words, send them to me, and I’ll take a look at them. If appropriate I will post them here on this blog.
The contest will run through August 2006. At the end of the contest I’ll select my favorite(s) and post them here.
So, how about it? The next time you’re going to stand up at a bar and sing Karaoke, you might as well insert your own words and have someone videotape you. Or, you know that car in your garage? Well, move it out and pretend you have a garage band. There are no rules. Just have fun.
Oh, and the prizes? Well, there are no prizes either: just a chance to be world-famous, and the fun of singing a song that sticks your thumb in the eye of the Republicans. So go for it!
That’s Immoral
Sung to the tune of “That’s Amore”
When the NSA spies and the President lies
That's immoral
The commander-in-chief as identity thief
That's immoral
Bells should ring, ting-aling-aling, ting-aling-aling
And you’ll say “off to prison!”
Bush will pay, tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay
Like an illegal gay man!
When they tortured for days at Abu Ghraib
That's immoral
When your bottom is beat in a cloud of deceit
Out of luck
When you walk in a dream but you don’t like dreaming
Oh-well-a
Scuzza me, but you see, criminally
That's immoral
