Sex Pistols At Dawn (Mark Steyn: A Massachusetts Musical Numbers Interlude Alert)
National Review ^ | 1/19/2010 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 01/19/2010 8:17:39 AM PST by goldstategop

For some reason, Boston's Jules Crittenden is channeling "Anarchy in the U.K." this election morn in Mass:

I am an anti-hack!
I am an democracist!
Know what I want but
dunno how to get it
I wanna destroy the hackery cos I
I wanna BE democracy! Democracy for the MA, it’s coming sometime and maybe
. . .

Maybe. If you're a Martha Coakley supporter, the Pistols's other hit may seem more pertinent:

God save the Queen
It's the Democrat machine
They made you a moron
Ted's seat gaffe-bomb
God save the Queen
She ain't no human bein'
There is no downside
To Red Sox sneering . . .

I prefer Patti Page myself:

If you're fond of nude spreads
And Cliff from "Cheers"
Quaint little pick-ups with
Manual gears
You're sure to fall in love with
Old Scott Brown.

Time to re-work a Kerry song I did? Bee Gees, if you please.

She is goin’ back to Massachusetts*
Couldn’t win the Senate if she tried
Thought that they would love her still in Massachusetts
They’d vote for Martha, through all the times she lied

Brown’s got lots of votes in Massachusetts
“Marsha” couldn’t SPELL it if she tried**
A sure thing? Just like John Kerry in the White House
Prez couldn’t help her; in Scott’s pickup, let’s ride

*—She talked about being sent to Massachusetts. Not Washington DC
**—Patches Kennedy calls her Marsha. Campaign ad
spelled in “Massachusettes” (sic)

Haha.

Thanks Mark, buddy.

I’ve loved the Pistols forever too. Precious and prescient. You’re a silly bloke.

The one on the right, Telma Hopkins, was later a TV actress. She played Addy on “Gimme a Break!” and several other roles. I see her from time to time in movies...............

The morning talk guy here played a clip this morning, I believe it was from the Stephen Colbert show? He was making derogatory comments about Brown, including a suggestion that he look into “waxing.” Obviously the metro-sexual left don’t know what a real man looks like when they see one.

Wasn’t at least one of the Ramones a conservative/Republican? Not Joey of course...Johnny, I think?

http://www.metroactive.com/papers/cruz/09.22.04/ramone-0439.html

>>In memory of Johnny Ramone, the last—and possibly only—great conservative punk
>>Let’s face it, being a staunch Republican and an NRA member in the otherwise decidedly left-leaning genre of punk rock is not widely thought of as cool. But, in classic Ramones tradition, Johnny didn’t care.

One version of Calif. Uber Alles tore down a politician named Brown—Jerry—and I was almost thinking of doing my own take pro-Scott

I am Senator Scotty Brown
My face it smiles and never frowns
Soon I could be President
(we’ll settle for U.S. Sen for now!)

Obama power will soon go ‘away
The people’s seat is mine today
And you know I won’t forget you
I know this is your country too
I know this is your country too

Massachusetts—goin’ red
A red state, we’re goin’ red...

Not easy.

In the booklet for one DK’s album, they had the lyrics for Too Drunk to F-— and had a bit of a spoof of the 45 cover:

TED Kennedy’s Too Drunk To Swim
b/w PRAY, Mary Jo!

Available at Hall of Records
Chappaquiddick, Mass.

And a headline at Drudge has Pelosi saying that the House will pass Obama Care “One way or another.” So now I have Blondie lyrics going around in my head.
