WHEN YOU'RE SIXTY-FIVE
(Sung to the tune of "When I'm Sixty-Four" by the Beatles)
Parody lyrics by Bill Tong (an update of a parody I wrote in 1996)

When you get older, losing your hair
Not too long from now
Will you get a Social Security check?
G.O.P. has made it a wreck!
They have been "working," dysfunctionally;
Obstructionist hive
Feeding the greedy, to keep you needy
When you're sixty-five
(instrumental break)
There's no colder crew
Dangerous, not just absurd
More bullshit, they spew...
G.O.P.'s angry and blowing a fuse
Where's our money's gone?
Cut the budget and they say they're on our side
They're just taking us for a ride!
When you're retired, this money you'll need
To keep you alive.
They feed the greedy, to keep you needy
When you're sixty-five
Every summer we will sweat and swelter
In the humid heat, when A.C. costs too much
They don't give a damn
They've brought us to our knees
Big banks' bailout scam...
Heard that Rush Limbaugh spewing a line
Right wing point of view
He said just precisely what he means to say
"G.O.P.'s not going away!"
They have no answers; Whining's their norm
Obstructionist hive
They'll feed the greedy, to keep you needy
When you're sixty-five.

Not Crazy
(Sung to the tune of "Crazy" by Patsy Cline)
Click HERE for MIDI music
As sung by the unhinged Rep. Michele "Batshit Crazy" Bachmann (R-IA), who wants to be U.S. President:
(instrumental intro)
Crazy? Who's crazy? My opponents, only.
I'm crazy? Not crazy, it just isn't true.
I knew... teabaggers love me when I'm taunted
And soon, one day, my power ambitions come true.
Hurry... must make my moves in a hurry
Wonderin'... what does a President do?
Crazy? Stop thinkin', just do what I've told you
Not crazy for lyin', not crazy for tryin'
Not crazy; need votes from you.
Crazy? Stop thinkin', just do what I've told you
Not crazy for lyin', not crazy for tryin'
Not crazy; need votes from you.

All of Newt Gingrich's top campaign workers have fled his presidential campaign
YOU’RE A HAS-BEEN, NEWT GINGRICH
Parody lyrics by Lynn Rockets
(sung to the Dr. Seuss song “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”)
You’re a has-been, Newt Gingrich
You’re lacking in appeal
Your were ousted as The Speaker
No one wants to hear you squeal
Newt Gingrich
You’re a unicycle
Without even one wheel
You’ve had three wives, Newt Gingrich
A mistress in the hole
Philandering’s your day job
You’re a slimy ugly troll
Newt Gingich
These woman that like you, must
Be on work release or parole
You’re a vile one, Newt Gingrich
Your words reek with rancid bile
Your criticism of Bill Clinton
As you’re cheating all the while
Newt Gingrich
There couldn’t be a bigger hypocrite
Within a Midwest country mile
You’re a foul one, Newt Gingrich
Your first divorce smelled of skunk
Your wife, Jackie fighting cancer
You told her she was junk
Newt Gingrich
The nicest words to describe you,
Are, as follows, and I quote, Pink. Wank, Punk
You’re a coward, Newt Gingrich
Avoided your army spot
Deferment-seeking chicken-hawk
That likes to talk real tough
Newt Gingrich
Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing
With the most disgraceful assortment of Republican
Sound-bytes imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots
You’re the racist, Newt Gingrich
It’s not Judge Sotomayor
You play the race card as a white guy
That’s so laughable I’m sure
Newt Gingrich
You’re a stinking pile of vomit
Sitting in the sun
With feces on top

O Little Brain of Rush Limbaugh
(Sung to the tune of "O Little Town of Bethlehem")
(Click HERE for MIDI music)
O little brain of Rush Limbaugh
How sneakily can he lie?
His thoughts aren't deep
So we must sweep his sophistry from on high
Each day, he will encourage
The mean and nasty Right
All of his peers are bored to tears
Because he's so uptight
For Rush has sworn to carry
The banner for what he loves
Each morning brings the same old things
He bashes the liberal doves
He's boring as the weather
His fame gave him his girth
We'll taunt and sing
Of Rush the King
Of Trash, that's all he's worth

After 12 Years, is it time to Boot Newt again?
Newt Gingrich: The Indispensable Republican
By John H. Richardson
In the twelve years since he resigned in defeat and disgrace, he has been carefully plotting his return to power. As 2012 approaches, he has raised as much money as all of his potential rivals combined and sits atop the polls for the Republican presidential nomination. But just who is Newton Leroy Gingrich, really? An epic and bizarre story of American power in an unsettled age.
