Well, late last night there was a thread on Bush themes and P.F. Sloan's 60s song "Eve of Destruction" came up. Obviously, I had to ruin the fun for everybody by covering it in the worst possible way.

No skill, but oh - such sneering!

1. ah ha! Lyrics.

BUSH, INC. AT THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION
------------------------------------
(Original Lyrics by P.F. Sloan,
mauled beyond all recognition by
the farmingdale sound machine - may 2004)

BUSH: "Fool me once, shame on - shame on you - fool me, can't get fooled again."

CHENEY: "There is no dictator to protect them. weakness. There is no dictator to protect them. weakness."

the middle east -
It is explodin'
nostrils flarin'
Cheney glarin'
dick loves to kill
and do some gloatin'
just a little war
gets Halliburton bloatin'

But you tell me over, and over, and over again my friend
Ah, I don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

RUMSFELD: "We now know that we don't know."

can't ya understand what I'm tryin' to say
we gotta find a way to make Rumsfeld pay
a slimy ghoul, that brings decay
all he wants to do
is dig grave after grave
death brings him joy,
'bound to scare you, boy.

And you tell me over, and over, and over again my friend
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

BUSH: "And so in my state of the - in my state of the union... errr state, my speech to the nation - whatever you wanna call, speech to the nation."

think of all the hate
there is in Crawford
Bush drowned in drugs,
just like Peter Lawford
his monkey brain spinnin,
his brain's in space
sickness can be spotted
across his face
skull and bones
what a splendid disgrace
clearing brush
at his fakey place
hates his fellow man,
never says grace

And you tell me over, and over, and over again my friend
Ah, I don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

BUSH: "I asked Americans to give 4000 years... 4000 hours over the next, rest of your life."

(repeat first verse)

BUSH: "Of service to america, that's what I asked - 4000 hours!"

at the top
the very head of the table
Poppy Bush is Mr. Able
fuck the filthy blueblood beast
a sour cup, that reeked like yeast
barbed penis like a kittykat
Poppy Bush that little rat
there's always just a little room
clown prince in a Yalie tomb
jack off in a Yalie tomb
Skull and Bones
in an old school tomb.

And you tell me over, and over, and over again my friend
Ah, I don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
I don't believe we're on the eve of destruction

POPPY: "Nothing but contempt and anger."

3. I LOVE IT!

It sounds evilish!

Your talent and humor always put a smile on my face.

Thanks for posting your lyrics, now tell me, where can I get a copy of this?

:)

7. you can implore, cajole, brainwash some record label into releasing it all

hours of upon hours of crap at the site below. Think of the box set potential!

thanks for the praise, its always fun to have a fit in front of a mic after midnight and somehow, somewhere, people hear it. Besides the neighbors. Who are looking for weapons.

[thebigidea]

8. Sure, its immature...

... but I still get a kick out of the line "barbed penis like a kittykat, Poppy Bush the little rat."

I'm a horrible, horrible man.

[bluedog]

11. great......... great....

love it.........hits home and is just so freaking good......excellent job

[thebigidea]

12. danke! I did it all for Sean Hannity.

[Kool Kitty]

2. Brilliant, especially the lyrics.

When I was a kid (when this song first came out), it gave me nightmares, this song. Too many duck-and-cover drills, I guess.

[thebigidea]

4. the music does leave much to be desired

the bass needed soldering, and the guitar had one string. 2am is not a good time to run out of guitar strings.

Ah well, it'll be a fun number to do live. As an encore or something.

(encore? who am I kidding. the opening number generally clears the place.)

[Kool Kitty]

5. No, no, I have no problem with the music.

It's great. The song really creeps me out, the old version and this new creepier version, with far more dangerous people in charge now.

By the way, speaking of creeps-what the hell happened to Rumsfeld? I haven't seen him on the tube or even heard his name mentioned for the past week?

[thebigidea]

6. I was pondering the same after dinner with some friends

his stooge Larry "Curly Joe" Dirita has been doing the press conferences.

Rummy isn't smiling so much these days, is he.

He's putting the finishing touches on his resignation.



(well, thanks for the thumbs up! Keep some aspirin around just in case.)

[Elidor]

15. His resume, more like

"Executive warmonger seeks suitable management position with large military contractor. Detail-oriented. Pioneered new hi-tech/reduced personnel military for use in in multiphase theaters. Stock options and executive washroom a must. Would also like to drink the blood of young men and women, or small furry animals."

17. able to chirp "my goodness!" almost convincingly in the face of war crimes

[thebigidea]

9. video in progress! at least until the coffee runs out.

running desperately low on cream... sugar supplies at dangerous levels... send help, cheesecake...

[thebigidea]

10. and let me tell ya, this video is really going to hate freedom

[thebigidea]

13. just shot the most ridiculous footage of the chimp "clearing brush"

and king poppy with a barbara handpuppet.

why? WHY?!? I... can't say.

[Elidor]

14. It's not the WHY

It's the muse on meth...loving the labor and never wondering why...just wondering how long you can keep the little bastard running on the wheel...

It's better than drugs. :) I wish I had time to crank out some agitprop these days.

Someday we need to get you, MoPaul, and DonHakman together in one room and wait for the critical mass. I'll supply the coffee.

[thebigidea]

16. all the while watching the credit & debt catch up

ah well, what better year to splurge on this sort of thing than 2004? I can go back to dumb commercial stuff next year. Maybe. Hopefully.

18. pics!

[thebigidea]

19. Gee, wouldn't it be nice if Bush stuck to clearing brush instead of...

people off this planet...

[thebigidea]

20. brimming over with PATRIOTISM!

(should be done with this late tonight/manana)

[blm]

21. Wow...I wouldamissedit....

.

[thebigidea]

22. god bless relentlessly obnoxious kicking

actually, it is pretty obnoxious. Perhaps I should start putting this stuff in EDITORIALS or something.

a media forum for all the Wonkish/TBTM/etc audio/video/flash links would be interesting too...
