Original Song Title:

"Star Spangled Banner"

Original Performer:

Francis Scott Key

Parody Song Title:

"USA Today"

Parody Written by:

Carol Brown

The Lyrics

Oh say can you see
Georgie Bush's sad plight
He lied 'bout Iraq
Now he's catching big flack

USA used to be
Land of brave and the free
Now it's only the land
Of the crave and the spree

Brutal torture's condoned
While rich thugs steal our homes
And the Patriot Act
Is a cold ugly fact

Our economy is wrecked
The disabled we gladly kill
Lady Justice is dead
We have lost our free will

USA used to be Land of brave and the free Now it's only the land Of the crave and the spree ================== What is the CRAVE? You do know that CRAVE is a verb, right? I don't know a CRAVE as a noun... you must have made that up. And the SPREE?!? Sure, that's a noun, (one that you apparently love and tend to use over and over again in parodies huh)? But as a noun, its "a brief indulgence of your impulses" -and in that I don't get it. We were free and now we are not free, nope, we are "CRAVE" and "SPREE" (LOL), but not free anymore! (and to think people actually wrote about liking this parody)?!?!?! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ """"Brutal torture's condoned"""" Really, do tell Carol, what would those brutal Condoned torture's be in your silly little drama queeny mind? =========================== """""While rich thugs steal our homes""""" ---again, you are not very specfic here, what rich thugs, Teddy Kennedy who has oil in five states all of which are on land that was stolen from blacks? Is it one of Kerry's 5 houses/castles in the USA or his 1 super-castle in France? It's so confusing! ----------- ------------ """And the Patriot Act Is a cold ugly fact"""" Where did that come from? I don't see how it blends there... hmmm... you seem to write about the patriot act a lot, but you never say anything about it that is real or factual... you do know that the normal demoncrats *those non-fanatical freak libs, actually like it, voted for it with no prob..... you are all messed up here! Cold ugly fact ... hmmm... yep, confusing! -------------------------------- """""""""Our economy is wrecked"""""""""""" ---- Let's see, when this parody was written, the economy had/has grown faster than under any president in over 20 years..... Even surpassing the most critical critic's scope of what could be done after a recession and a huge blow, (thanks to clinton) on 9/11.... More people bought houses under bush than any president, those families in poverty dropped below clinton's number and clinton raised that nuber up from the prev. president's by far... More black people purchased homes than any other time inhistory, more people own now than rent for the first time in history..... and the economy is actually good - so good the interest rates had to go up a couple times..... so, again, don't get it! ----------------------- """""""" The disabled we gladly kill""""""""""""" --- Speak for yourself, I have not killed a disabled person yet and certainly do not know anyone that killed disabled people, (I assume people), let alone "gladly kills disabled" Again, ? ----------------------------- """""""" Lady Justice is dead""""""""" --- wrong again! Actually she retired and he died, you really need to catch up on current events! ---------------- """""""""" We have lost our free will""""""""""""" ---- Oh goodness! I almost hate to even ask! I have not lost any free will and you certainly seem as if you are on top of acting on your free will to write the most off the wall crud (and then have the balls to bash others who are right wing when your writing is this bad) on this site! Gosh, have got to get out of your authored songs, they really suck... wait, oh, thank goodness you only have a couple!!! And to think you bashed some guy cuz he was not an author and he just came into this place to read and comment... (as if there is some rule against reading and commenting on parodies when you do not write any.... to think, those people who just float on in and have the nerve to actually read songs and comment on them without first writing a parody and consulting with you or Michael... HOGWASH --- can you say, "FAKE PHONEY & FARCE"?

who are you to say anything to me about my parodies? You stupid bitch, most of mine are better written than yours could ever be. Do something useful with that frothing mouth of yours and wrap it around a great big one.
