Don’t complain. Shut up and support Ukraine.

New Yorkers are tough. They don’t care.

“This song parody was published in ‘Mad Magazine’”? Can you say that? You should not assume everyone here is old enough and sophisticated enough (like you and me and lots of others) to recognize that you have taken someone else’s full parody, NOT giving a word of acknowledgement and credit to a the brilliant parody creator at Mad Magazine, whose parody you cut and pasted here, changing the phrase “Yucca Plats” to “New York.” Given that Mad Magazine and its fabulous, inspired song parodies were created right in New York City makes your plagiarism of this wonderful parody of the “My Fair Lady” song, “The Street Where You Live” that much more of an oversight on your part.

To Freepers young enough to not have devoured Mad Magazine in its day and not committed every classic parody to memory: Here are the Mad Magazine parody’s lyrics, created in New York City, etched forever in a hallowed place in the memory of senior Freepers. Mad Magazine did hundreds of fabulous parodies over the years:

MAD’s LYRICS PARODYING MY FAIR LADY’s “On The Street Where You Live.”

“I have often walked down this street before
but the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before
now as I walk by I see rubble fly
boy it’s rough on the street where you live.

People stop and stare, they don’t bother me
I’ve got lead underwear, I’m safe as I can be
All the air is filled with radioactivity
and it’s worse on the street where you live.

And oh the frightening feeling
as the glow spreads over the land
that exposed to lightening feeling
as the Geiger counter clicks to beat the band.

There are no more trees they’ve been all knocked down
and you’ll never hear a bird in any part of town
see the plane draw near, let’s get out of here
Yucca Flats is no street where to live.”

I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed...

But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops.

Going back to the fifties, in elementary school, my mental response to the “duck and cover” films was in the event of nuclear attack, bend over and kiss your sweet ass goodbye. If NYC gets nuked, the person in this PSA wouldn’t be broadcasting from a nice, intact office, she’d most likely be dead as would most of her prospective audience.

Russia only needs to take out the New York Times on a day that all the Bolsheviks are in the building (looking at you Pinch). Then we’ll have peace on earth!

The most likely scenario of all would be the crash of a B-52 armed with a nuclear device … piloted by a “diversity/equity” crew of disabled trannies of color.

In case of nuclear attack:
Squat down, bend head down as far as possible and kiss your sweet ass goodbye!!

Bunch of propaganda. NYC like Detroit is worse off with liberals in charge than a nuke. Just look how Hiroshima looks compared to the dumps now

Any enemy of the United States would do their best to keep cities like New York and Detroit standing. As they are, these cities do worsening daily damage to the United States.

That’s what is scheduled. An underwater nuclear detonation that causes a tsunami.

It’s printed on the money, but hasn’t happened yet.

Are they sure this PSA is about a possible nuclear attack? Or maybe what New York would look like if they gave Black Lives Matter everything they demand?

Umm, ground zero is probably the riverfront next to the UN bldg.

Quite possibly someone left behind in Afganistan a few nukes. We (meaning the Pedo pres) left every other bloody thing in our armory. If they have >1, mebbe DC, too?

Imagine the flood of blue city parasites leaving the blue cities if some nutjob Moslem group announces what they have. They could finish the job of ruining our economy if a dozen blue cities panic.

It is funny! And a keeper all right, Theopolis. Kept in my brain pan since the early sixties, lol. I've been reminded it's from Mad Magazine. I put in the NY refs.

You can find the album “Mad Grooves” on Apple Music and prob elsewhere to hear such classics as “It’s a Gas” and “She’s Got a Nose Job.”

The parody of “The Streets Where You Live”came as a floppy record inserted in the magazine.

Another I'll never forget is the “Monopoly Fight Song” set to the music of the “Marines’ Hymn.”

From the slums of Baltic Avenue,
‘round to Boardwalk and park place,
We will buy up all the properties, build hotels on every space,
We will drive our foes to bankruptcy if they fail to pay the price,
But we cannot even start the game ‘til somebody finds the dice!

Or bowling.. lol.. to Over There. Roll the ball.. roll the ball, groove it in we can win. It's a crucial frame now so take good aim now.. And we'd have won if you'd let go of the ball.

Or craps set to a college fight song. Roll a seven! Roll eleven! Get down on your knees.. can't remember more.. but funny stuff.

Ran across this video, was simply hilarious and TRUE:

‘Bunker King Responds to New York City PSA on Nuclear Blast’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgDhDG76qDk

In short: Just simply bend over and kiss your arse goodbye.
