I'm really not sure how to preface this. Basically, the other day, I was thinking about how the job of most modern politicians is to convince people that they enjoy being financially raped. My mind somehow made the jump from that to Stone Temple Pilots' "Sex Type Thing" (which is about a more literal version of the aforementioned political metaphor), and, well...one thing led to another, and this was the result. For the full experience, listen to the song as you read it, but imagine it in Barack Obama's voice:
Tax Type ThingI am, I am, I am
I said I wanna bring change to you
I said I'm gonna give hope to you
You wouldn't want me have to fine you too, fine you tooI ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A buyin' into your bags of tea
I'm organizin' the community
You think I care about democracy, democracy?I know you trust me with your health
I know you want to spread your wealth
I love to talk about myself
I'm O, you know, you know, you knowI am a Dem, a Dem
I'll put your money in the safety net
I said ya shouldn't have achieved success
I said ya shouldn't have achieved success, achieved successI know just how to run your lives
I know you can't disprove my lies
I'll call you racist if you try
I'm O, you know, you know, you knowHere I come, I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I comeI am, I am, I am
I said I wanna uh...uh...
Uh...I wanna get...
Uh...let me be clear...uh...The teleprompter, uh...
It isn't, uh...
It's broken, and, uh...uh...
I don't, uh...can someone...There we go...
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I comeHere I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I comeHere I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I comeHere I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I comeUh, I think it's, uh...
I think it's stuck now...
Uh...hang on...
Uh......

I've also been trying to rework Metallica's "Leper Messiah" as "Obamessiah," but since it's already about a demagogue using religious iconography to fool people into giving him money, I'm really not sure what I could change to make it more appropriate.
Posted by CD on May 12, 2010 05:49 AM | TrackBackThat was teh awesomely funniness. Afterward I looked up the lyrics to "Leper Messiah", 'cuz it's been a long time since I heard it, and you're right. The only thing you need to change in that song is the chorus. "Bow to Obamamessiah!"
um... too many syllables. "Bow to Obamassiah!"
