Hello... I want to have a little fun with my karaoke thing here. (I apologise to the more serious conservatives in here without my kind of goofy sense of humor for this post, but I need a little help)
Ok, I want to sing a song and put it into mp3 - it's the words to NY, NY, but I need lyrics to make it relate to Dan Rather. Of course the song will start out "No more spreading the news, I'm leaving today"
I can't seem to get too creative on this and was wondering if there were any fellow conservatives out there with a knack for poetry and an appreciation for a little rightwing nonsense. As Willy Wonka once said "A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men". I don't know who said it before that, but I remember it from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory.
Anyway. I got a mike, my Acoustica sound mixing program, and the Karaoke version of Sinatra's New York, New York, and I want to make fun of Rather and I need a hand with the words if anyone's willing :)

Parody for Dear Old Dan!!
CG, karaoke
I was thinking of tweaking the tune O Danny Boy -- the sentiment is there and it sounds somewhat Western, suitable for the faux-Texan...
Here ya go.
I am a Dork (sung to New York New York)
Stop faking the news,

I'd Rather dig a new hole now,
I'm just a dork.
The C B S News,
Has shoved me away.
They'd Rather bury all of it,

I want to make up some fake memos,
And not get caught.

Thanks for the ping. I wrote something fast.
LOL!
Kind of a rush job but it can be tweaked if anyone wants me to.
I think it's awesome, I will try using most of it! Sure, if you feel like doing another draft, that would be great!
I am also thinking of one for "That's Life" ... I been a puppet, a pirate, etc...
That is awesome, pe.
How much time do I have? To really do a good parody I need to go hunt up the real words. I went my memory off the cuff.
That's Life... sometimes it makes me cry...
those bloggers got thier kicks
by exposing my lie,
but i denied it, and it got me down
and now, goodbye CBS, see ya around...
I like it, CG...let's go with THAT one...MUD
That's a good one, dfu...MUD
Oh no rush... I guess even by sometime early evening, I'm just playing around with words now, too. just having fun lol - yeah!, if you can really do a full thing, It'll only take me about 20 minutes to get it all down along with the music. And then get it into mp3 URL form to share it.
I like fooling around with Acoustica... These are some things I put together recently with some dem lunacy:

"Daniel" was good, but something along the lines of
Dylan's "Desolation Row", would be even better. (JMHO)
Funny. I used to sing professionally. Now I hit karaoke night sometimes. Drifters, Roy Orbison, George Strait, etc. I am a Barotone that can sing Bass or Tenor for short hops. Love music. I just tweaked "I'm just a dork" feel free to play with it and use it in any form. I'd love to hear the results.
