"Thanks For The Sodomy" (very very very dark humor)

[nostamj]

maybe the 'blackest' humor I've written. but, this is NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT about the abused prisoners! it is about the RW apologists (like Rush, Hannity and *almost* all repukes) who have tried to happy talk this atrocity away. it is meant to ridicule the 'bad apples' and 'blowing off steam' and 'frat pranks' outrages.

on the Guy James Show today, we talked about whether this 'issue' could be used in my revue. I said I didn't think I could make it "sing" and Guy offered, off-hand "Thanks for the sodomy" and I took it from there.

again, this is about outrage not ridicule. hope you 'get' it. (and no, I don't plan to use it in the show)


THE ABU GHRAIB FAMILY SINGERS PRESENT:
"Our Favorite American Songs"

THANKS FOR THE SODOMY
(To the tune of “Thanks For The Memory”)

THANKS FOR THE SODOMY
WHILE WE WERE COLD AND WET
YOU HAD A CIGARETTE.
THE INTERNET
WILL NOT FORGET
THE PRESIDENT’S “REGRET”
WE THANK YOU, SO MUCH

AND THANKS FOR THE BROOMSTICK PROBE
YOU MADE US FIRST DISROBE,
WE’VE BEEN SEEN ‘ROUND THE GLOBE
WE THOUGHT HOODS AND ELECTRODES
SURE MADE A CHIC WARDROBE
HOW CLASSY, YOU WERE

WHILE YOU ABUSED EACH TABOO
WE WERE AFRAID FOR OUR LIVES
NOW YOU CAN GIVE RUSH YOUR HIGH-FIVES–
NOTHING MEAN, JUST BLOWING OFF STEAM

AND THANKS, FOR THE PHOTO OP
OF STANDING ON A BOX
WHILE YOU POINTED AT OUR COCKS
WE WEREN’T DEFILED BY PIGGY PILES
BECAUSE YOUR SMILES INSIST
IT WAS JUST “FRAT PRANKS”

THANKS FOR MY NEW NIGHTMARES
ALTHOUGH SADDAM HUSSEIN
SEEMED TO BE INSANE
YOUR "LIBERTY"
IS NEW TO ME
I WISH YOU WOULD EXPLAIN
HOW LUCKY WE ARE

1. Damn!

That about sums it all up, doesn't it?

[nostamj]

4. when Guy suggested it

I thought, no way...

but, in it's own very dark way... it think it does.

thanks!

[POAC]

2. well you know...

[nostamj]

3. OK!

now THAT's really DEEP!

:wow:

that's my first bush/FF reference. it is clear that I can't go too far....

[Tinoire]

6. Welcome to DU. Love the site in your sig line

Project for the Old American Century (POAC) is in no way related to or associated with project for the new American century

:toast:

[nostamj]

11. kick for POAC

[POAC]

18. thanks!

Thanks to you guys for the compliments. We at the POAC are pretty proud of ourselves, but Robin and I are so busy with it that we can't spend as much time here as we'd like. But we LOVE DU!

[Tinoire]

5. Thanks for the memories...

:(

I love your piece...

Love this one too: http://www.ericblumrich.com/thanks.html (be sure to turn up the volume)

Change the pictures... Use your words and we have a second version...

On edit... Guess what http://www.bushwarcrimes.org/ or .com is still available :)

[nostamj]

7. thanks and WOW WOW WOW

that is one HELL of a flash!

had not seen it!

WOW!

[Tinoire]

8. Just changed my sig line and put that in there.

More people need to see it. Arcane1 sent it to me. Powerful isn't it?

Thanks

[nostamj]

9. "WE ALWAYS HAD HIM"

Yes, very stunning!

and so few know that... so few....

[nostamj]

10. kick from the darkside n/t

[rumguy]

12. very funny

I liked it. Yes it is dark, but hey we live in dark times.

[nostamj]

13. "we live in dark times"

ain't THAT the sad truth!

I couldn't have imagined writing anything like this a week ago..

[peekaloo]

14. damn

USO tour show from hell theme song.

Somehow I envision Rush humming along to this tune while doing a revised version of the "Lynndie Hop".

:kick:

[nostamj]

15. oh dear!

you may be right! Rush wouldn't 'get it'

i'd hate to think i gave him material....

[Junkdrawer]

16. Your last verse should be "And thanks for the Apology"...

random thoughts...

while sorry for our shame
he never took the blame

And Rummy "Golly Dear"
seemed so insincere

Oh, you'll do it better that I can...

BTW: :thumbsup:

[nostamj]

20. thanks JD

what I posted is only about two-thirds of the full lyric.

the shame/blame couplet is very good!

maybe I'll actually finish it tomorrow.

[Junkdrawer]

24. OK, here's a little better version

And thanks for the Apology...
While sorry for our shame
he never took the blame
It was insincere
But from what I hear
the rest make ours seem tame
We thank you sooo much.

[nostamj]

26. yes. that's good!

but, I am a stickler and the first line has an extra syllable.

Thanks for the memory
Dah dee dah dee dah dah

something like:

Heard his apology

would work though. the rest is spot-on!

[TXDemGal]

17. Sell it to Mark Russell or the Capitol Steps

Maybe one or the other can use it in an upcoming show/recording.

[nostamj]

19. oh I don't think either would sing

AND THANKS, FOR THE PHOTO OP
OF STANDING ON A BOX
WHILE YOU POINTED AT OUR COCKS

but I'm glad you liked it!

that's why I'm doing my OWN show... (see sig line)

[nostamj]

21. I got a PM

saying that this was posted on 'that other board' but I don't know if she meant FR or someplace else...

has anyone seen it elsewhere?

was it done out of context?

thanks!

[PaDUer]

22. Don't worry about it..

they probably LOVE it but won't admit it.

[nostamj]

23. what I worry about

is that it's being posted as:

look at the sick fucks at DU laughing at the prisoners

i really doubt the average freep could see the anti-RW satire.

but, it's out there and I can't do much about it...

[vetwife]

25. J..You are really talented.

I think that was summed up well ...Thanks for the Memories...Can't picture old repug Bob Hope going out (if he were alive) and joking around to those words for his theme song. but I can see Wayne Newton do it ! You probably really ought to drop a bug in Eri's ear, or I could, about playing that song showing the new deal here with those pics. I think he has Thanks for the Memories on another flash. But you are really talented. I can say that , I am a published songwriter ! lol

[nostamj]

30. thanks amanda!

did you catch Guy planting the 'seed' for that parody on the show yesterday?

I saw another flash that someone linked on this thread.

is that 'Eri' ? I wouldn't know how to 'drop a bug' to him.

I have been writing lyrics for more than 30 years now. both original and parody. glad I'm finally getting it right (or do I mean 'correct') ;-)

hopefully, DUers who are not in the NYC area will be able to see the revue on video (and hear a wide range of my lyrics and sketches) later this year. (thought I am NOT promising that this particular number will make the final cut....

thanks again

on edit: an edit

[vetwife]

32. Yeah I think so

I will send you his email addy..

[PaDUer]

27. You've got mail. n/t

[PaDUer]

28. Did they post the link to DU on FR?

There's many freepers who are feeling that same as we do about this but are too scared to post their feelings so they don't get fkamed by their buddies. They've gotten into some pretty bad battles and it goes to show that they KNOW it's a matter of time and they're going down!

-edit-You can tell I had a bad nite and slept only 3hrs..It's going to be a LONG day!

[nostamj]

29. I don't know that it's posted there at all

the DUer who told me in a PM that they had seen it at "that other board" has not answered my question:

where did you see it?

hopefully, she will sometime today.

i'm more curious than anything else...

[nostamj]
