DFU SONG: The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (the night Old Media went down)
DFU SONGS | 9-2004 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 09/10/2004 9:15:55 AM PDT by doug from upland

NOTE: it was quite difficult to make this track...do your best in singing it :)
=====================================================

MIDI - THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN -- for those who haven't figured it out yet, simply go to the linked site and click on the appropriate MIDI...it will launch in your defaulted device, and you can hit BACK and go to the song to sing along

Danny Rather's my name...I really achieved some fame
But then with Peter and Tom...we all had gone down in flames

For many years we had spun the news
And we made sure we inserted our views
Our leftist pals all loved us so much
But it seems we got way too far out of touch

The night Old Media went down...all the right wingers were singing
Yes, the night Old Media went down...in boardrooms our hands we're wringing

They sang NA NA NA NA NA NA....NA NA NA NA....NA NA NA NA NA

We were the shills for DemocRATs...our paychecks got very fat
We learned as Dylan said -- That wasn't where it was at

For many years we spun the news
And we made sure we inserted our views
Our leftist pals all loved us so much
But it seems that we had gotten way out of touch

The night Old Media went down...all the right wingers were singing
Yes, the night Old Media went down...in boardrooms our hands we're wringing

They sang NA NA NA NA NA NA....NA NA NA NA....NA NA NA NA NA

FREEPERS had then 47'd us...we wondered what's the fuss
We had not seen it coming so...we got hit by a bus

For many years we had spun the news
And we made sure we inserted our views
Our leftist pals all loved us so much
But it seems we got way too far out of touch

The night Old Media went down...all the right wingers were singing
Yes, the night Old Media went down...in boardrooms our hands we're wringing

They sang NA NA NA NA NA NA....NA NA NA NA....NA NA NA NA NA

HA HA HA HA HA HA

The night Old Media went down...all the right wingers were singing
Yes, the night Old Media went down...in boardrooms our hands we're wringing

At least do "The Band"s version and not that peace creep Joan Baezs

Actually, I love to stick it to them by using all those old peacenicks' songs against them.

Must agree The Band version is way better. My father exposed me to the Band when I was about 10 or 11 and we watched the Last Waltz, what a great batch of music. It's great driving music too.
