RIGHT-WINGERS RIP OFF LENNON’S ‘IMAGINE’ |
|
Imagine there’s no UN It’s easy if you try No Congress or Supreme Court Makes it easy to spy Imagine all the people Buying all our lies
Ah-Ah-Ah
Imagine there’s no countries Besides the USA No one left to invade We’ll have more time to pray Imagine all the people But no one named Jose
Yoo-hoo-hoo
You may say that I’m a dreamer But I’m just one Neo-Con I hope someday you’ll join us And the world’ll be controlled by one
Imagine no Geneva Convention I wonder if you can No ban on cruelty or torture Total rule by one man Imagine all the people Brain-washed by the Klan
Yoo-hoo-hoo
You may say that I’m a schemer But I’m not the only one Unless you enjoin us The world will soon be done

They can try all they want, but they will never be able to spin Lennon into a RW koolaid drinkin war monger.

2. You know, there would be a lot of parodies of RW hit songs |
|
if there were any RW hit songs ...

10. ...So I guess that's why Don had to use a LW song to create this anthem |
|
for the Neocons. IMHO Lennon would have loved seeing his work put to this use.

12. If you were wearing a cowboy hat, a big belt buckle, and pointy boots... |
|
even though you're just an accountant for a flower shop, you might know what those right wing hits are.

Country Music = RW and vice versa?
Willie Nelson might just disagree with you there ... then again, so might Ted Nugent ...
Ted Nugent and Charlie Daniels ... if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it ...

4. I like your dark sense of humor. |
|
And it's a shame that Lennon's message is so lost on these repuke cretins. :eyes:

6. Say, that is EXCELLENT!!! |
|
It certainly strips the facade away, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, some here apparently think that the neocons are thrilled with this brutal representation of them. I hardly think they'd be touting:
Total rule by one man Imagine all the people Brain-washed by the Klan
In any event, it does sum them up, quite rightly...

8. I thought they loved Jose... |
|
They use him and everyone else whose name isn't "Jeff", "Mary", or "Fred" and then say how Jeff, Mary, and Fred refuse to do any work! (the people, not thinking of meandering nonsense like "cost of living", buy into that shit too...)
And on a goofy tangent: The Joses of the world don't like the US either. So why do they want to work for our companies instead of making their own? Theirs are the economies that are booming. Not ours.

11. This song SATIRIZES the fascism Lennon fought. |
|
I'm bemused (but not particularly A-mused) by the number of people who JUST DON'T GET IT!

13. A problem with satire and the far right--they don't get it |
|
One of my profs undergrad wrote a tongue in cheek letter to the editor of the local paper, and for a week after, righties wrote in to agree with him for saying so plainly what they really believed.
I think you could write a song about burning blacks and mexicans and nuking the middle east until there weren't any muslims left and those on the right would say, "That's a real toe-tapper! When did Ann Coulter start writin' songs?"
