A blast from the past, involving Briggs’s rendering of We are the World from 1985:
(Take it girls:)
We can’t go on
Pretending day by day
That someone else
Will build the cafeterias. . .
We all need chow to stuff our faces wtih
And the truth, you know, goat-meat
is all we need.
(Everbody now, make it wail, sing out:)
We are the weird,
We are the starvin,
We are the scum of the filthy earth,
So let’s start scarfin. . .
There’s a goat-head bakin
We’re callin it their food,
If the Meskins can eat it,
They can eat it, too.
(Okay, bring it down, Stevie and Willie only:)
Send ‘em a heart so they’ll know that someone cares
And a lung, and an elbow, and three big toes.
As the Big Guy told us, we should always clean our plate,
Cause them all the Africans’ stomachs won’t look gross.
(Back up singers, chorus, Lionel Richie, groupies, everbody:)
We are the weird,
We are the starvin,
We are the scum of the filthy earth,
So let’s start scarfin. . .
There’s a burger bakin
We’re callin it Big Mac
But all it really has inside
Is a roach’s back.
(Down again, Diana, Michael and all sissies:)
When you’re down and out,
And there seems no slop at all,
Cause they took it for the tourists at the Hilton Hotel,
Let us realize that they need it just the same
Cause they don’t know how to eat a beetle shell.
(Big finish, drive it home, Hallelujah!:)
We are the weird,
We are the starvin,
We are the scum of the filthy earth,
So let’s start scarfin. . .
There’s a Moon Pie waitin
And a Dr. Pepper, too
And we’ll send out for Shakey’s pizza,
Me and you. ]
OMG! the Zoom concerts on TV make me want to puke on all channels!
We are concerned.. We are famous..
Worst pizza I ever ate was at Shakeys in Tokyo.
The on in Rome was a close runner up!
I think that’s the piece that got him fired from one of the Dallas papers.
