Why hasn't the Occupy Movement captured the imagination of the American public yet? Why do the righteous protesters seem like just a bunch of spoiled college kids with free-floating angst, taking off a semester to hang out and hook up in tents? Why has Occupy Wall Street been such an epic fail so far?
Well, it must be because they have lacked . . . AN ANTHEM! Yes, that's what they need! And now they have it! Problem solved. As we see and hear in this THREAD, "Occupy-ers! WE HAVE OUR ANTHEM."
So without further ado, let us tune our ears to the sound of the DUmmies, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, who smells a parody coming on, is in the [brackets]:
Occupy-ers! WE HAVE OUR ANTHEM
[All right! Now we're cookin' with GAS! Now this thing's gonna TAKE OFF! An ANTHEM! Just what we need! This will turn the corner!]
Sorry for shouting but I'm so excited. This is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
[DUmmie Remember Me links to a song called "We Are the Many," by some Bob Dylan/Pete Seeger wannabe called Makana. I'm sorry to report, though, that this "anthem" is pitiful, pitiful, pitiful. Boring rhyme scheme, clumsy lyrics, leftist cliches, enervating music. Other than that, it's a real winner. Look and listen for yourself. Here is the link to the VIDEO, and here are the lyrics:]
We Are The Many
Ye come here, gather 'round the stage
The time has come for us to voice our rage
Against the ones who've trapped us in a cage
To steal from us the value of our wage
From underneath the vestiture of law
The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw
At liberty, the bureaucrats guffaw
And until they are purged, we won't withdraw
We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
Our nation was built upon the right
Of every person to improve their plight
But laws of this Republic they rewrite
And now a few own everything in sight
They own it free of liability
They own, but they are not like you and me
Their influence dictates legality
And until they are stopped we are not free
We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
You enforce your monopolies with guns
While sacrificing our daughters and sons
But certain things belong to everyone
Your thievery has left the people none
So take heed of our notice to redress
We have little to lose, we must confess
Your empty words do leave us unimpressed
A growing number join us in protest
We occupy the streets
We occupy the courts
We occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
You can't divide us into sides
And from our gaze, you cannot hide
Denial serves to amplify
And our allegiance you can't buy
Our government is not for sale
The banks do not deserve a bail
We will not reward those who fail
We will not move till we prevail
We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
We are the many
You are the few
[Now here is a new and improved version, by yours truly, the wag tailoring the doggerel:
WE ARE THE MOONBATS by Makaka
Tune: "We Are the Many" by Makana
Ye come here, gather in a throng
The time has come for us to write a song
Against the ones who've done us . . . something wrong
So pardon me while I put down my bong
From Underground the Democratics flock
The activists at Wall Street now do occ-
-upy the park, though freeper types may mock
And yet still we now fill a city block
We'll urinate the streets
We'll defecate the parks
We'll populate and copulate and screw
Till you do
The bidding of the moonbats on DU
Our hatred is rage against the Right
Toward every person who induces fright
The lousy Free Republic trolls we spite
And all the evil rich guys who are white
They own us all just like a lemon tree
And other things that rhyme with "B" and "D"
Their affluence provokes our jealousy
Now until when we shop we get stuff free
We'll urinate the streets
We'll defecate the parks
We'll populate and copulate and screw
Till you do
The bidding of the moonbats on DU
We must pay for your apple cream cheese buns
And from our wallets out the money runs
But everything belongs to everyone
To charge for things is not so very fun
So take heed of our whining and our stress
We have no arguments, we must confess
Our common sense has left us, as you guessed
But mental numbness won't stop our protest
We urinate the streets
We defecate the parks
We populate and copulate and screw
Till you do
The bidding of the moonbats on DU
You cannot tell our gals from guys
And of our guys, they're mostly high
Our grungy hippies typify
That we're collegians, I won't lie
That whiff of odor in the air
The clothes we started with we wear
We will not shampoo stringy hairs
We will not bathe like billionaires
We'll urinate the streets
We'll defecate the parks
We'll populate and copulate and screw
Till you do
The bidding of the moonbats on DU
We'll urinate the streets
We'll defecate the parks
We'll populate and copulate and screw
Till you do
The bidding of the moonbats on DU
We are the moonbats
We are DU ]
Oh boy this is a sweet sound right here! The Occupier's anthem, sounds perfect to me!
[It's got a good beat, and it's easy to dance to. I give it a 99%.]
Share it on your Facebook wall
[OccupyFacebookWallStreet]
awesome song...awesome action for one individual!!!
[OWSome!!!]
Does every protest song have to be wimpy folk music? Don't get me wrong, I love the message and I love the Occupy movement but I can't listen to this.
[Everybody's a music critic, eh? LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
It may be wimpy folk music, but it's not too bad.
[Thanks for that ringing endorsement. I'm sure Makana will want to put that blurb on his album cover: "It may be wimpy folk music, but it's not too bad."]
PING!
3?
Even without clicking the anthem link, it’s a pithy protest song, and I can only imagine the nerve-wrenching music.
A political song for Micheal Jackson to sing...
The Hippys of the 60's-70's gave us Joe Cocker, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, CCR and this is what today's Hippys give us?!?! We should be the ones protesting! Our Hippys suck!
Sung to “we are the world”
Absolutely, generally left of center, but these guys gave us great music.
“The Hippys of the 60’s-70’s gave us Joe Cocker, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, CCR and this is what today’s Hippys give us?!?! We should be the ones protesting! Our Hippys suck!”

While there was some fun music from the Hippy days, much of it was mindless and boing drivel.
Hippies were mostly a combination of social misfits, sprinkled with a few clever young people having a party and making songs.
The Oh We Stink crowd is much of the same, but the trashy byproduct of the Hippy movement.
Most of them have no clue as to what they are protesting.
LOL, a Russian ‘Hawaiian’ singer. Love it.
How about these occutards occupy a JOB!!!
I sure as hell aren’t hiring any of these losers.
Anyone else think this Makana guy looks like Maynard G. Krebs of “Dobie Gillis” fame?
IMO, your version is much better Charles. It’s FUnny!
Their problem was no coherent message not an anthem. Even they don’t know what they stand for unlike the Tea Party. Fail.
