"Sarrahcuda"
self | self

Posted on 09/04/2008 3:04:40 AM PDT by WireAndWood

Freepers, I humbly submit this night the first song parody I have ever had the courage to share on FR.

Tonight Sarrahcuda impreseed the h3ll outta me. Like many of you other crusty big nard-nosed buys, when she spoke I cried. Clarity! Conviction! … and without apologetics! We have needed her for a long, long, time.

but...


TOPICS: Government; News/Current Events; Political Humor/Cartoons; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: palin; saracuda; sarrahcuda
... the name “Sarrahcuda" kept going through my head and this song parody of Heart’s “Barracuda” would simply not leave me alone until I brought it to fruition.

I should preface this with a few words. I am a lifelong musician and writing parodies is one of my personal pleasures. I almost never share them. There is MUCH more that could be said in this song – volumes more that could be said about Sarah and the forces which we must defeat if our Nation is to survive another decade. It is not my goal, however, in writing a parody, to exhaust the topic in the space of one song. It is rather my goal to make the parody as musically “clean” as possible when compared directly with the original, and then secondarily to deliver the message in a way as meaningful as possible. A well-written parody could be sung easily to the original soundtrack so that someone who isn’t really paying much attention might miss it altogether. To that end, I try to preserve the length or the piece, the rhythm of the lyrtics, and the most important high points and ‘signature’-hook moments. Every tiny way in which the parody deviates from the original reduces its sort of cleverness factor. In fact my proudest parody is one in which all through the entire first verse I only changed ON E word from the original, and it cast the entire verse into a WHOLE me meaning. (it was in the last line,t oo.. so it was a major surprise.

Anyway, with that, I encourage you to go lookup the Heart lyrics and stack them up to these. FRiends, I hope at the least that some of you are mildly amused by my latest work, “Sarrahcuda”

No this ain't the end, we’ll see you again in fact I think you’ll win our nation back A smile like the Sun, you’ve only begun it’s true, we’ve put our faith in you

They will lie about you through their teeth CBS, CNN, ABC But you’ll have them down, down, down, down on their knees Now, won't you? Sarrahcuda!

Snob Hollywood, they’re up to no good The liberal elite out of touch with you & me but you know right from wrong, with family so strong you put them all to shame.

You’re the REAL thing, they best learn that quick our lovely pit bull wearing lipstick Girl, you make, make, make, make those libtards sick Oooooooo - Sarrahcuda!

"Raise those taxes!" Obama said just to hear him hurts my head for sure ... I think you got the real cure.

’cross the country people wait to hear you and “Plugs” debate You’ll show the world what’s true – he’s one silly fool!

Sorry, I thought I’d have a chance to edit.
Here it is with proper spacing:

***********************************

No this ain’t the end, we’ll see you again
in fact
I think you’ll win our nation back
A smile like the Sun, you’ve only begun
it’s true, we’ve put our faith in you

They will lie about you through their teeth
CBS, CNN, ABC
But you’ll have them down, down, down, down on their knees
Now, won’t you?
Sarrahcuda!

Snob Hollywood, they’re up to no good
The liberal elite
out of touch with you & me
but you know right from wrong, with family so strong
you put them all to shame.

You’re the REAL thing, they best learn that quick
our lovely pit bull wearing lipstick
Girl, you make, make, make, make those libtards sick
Oooooooo - Sarrahcuda!

“Raise those taxes!” Obama said
just to hear him hurts my head
for sure ... I think you got the real cure.

’cross the country people wait
to hear you and “Plugs” debate
You’ll show the world what’s true – he’s one silly fool!

I love it. I have been singing Barracuda in my head all night long. Now I can replace the words.

I love Sarracuda. I spell it Saracuda though.

Last night was the best night politics has ever seen. It is going to be a great couple of months and Saracuda is going to be our VP. Oh yeah and we will have President John McCain.

Think (think) think (think) think (think)
think (think) think (think) think (think)

You better think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Let’s go back, let’s go back, let’s go way on back when
I didn’t even know you, you came to me and too much you wouldn’t take
I ain’t no psychiatrist, I ain’t no doctor with degree
It don’t take too much high IQ’s to see what you’re doing to me

You better think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain’t nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won’t (I won’t)
I was gonna change, but I’m not, to keep doing things I don’t

You better think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walking around everyday, playing games that they can score
And I ain’t gonna be the loser my way, ah, be careful you don’t lose yours

You better think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don’t you know)
Without each other there ain’t nothing people can do

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain’t nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won’t (I won’t)
I was gonna change, but I’m not, if you’re doing things I don’t

You better think (think) think about what you’re trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don’t you know)
Without each other there ain’t nothing people can do

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

You had better stop and think before you think, think!!

My best picture is:

With everything else from a great evening, I thought this was the "Class Act" of the night.

I was so pleased to find this most endearing picture from last evening's great meeting. Thanks for posting it, which I here repeat. I just love it and it is not staged but just a total wonderful reaction of a mother for a child. Love it.

Only mothers know how to hold children like that and love it. She's my First Lady, if I can do anything about it:
