[UPDATE: Apparently, I still gets results! WBAP has posted a playable link here. Take a listen, it's excellent! BTW, shame on me, I neglected to mention that it was on the KSFO morning show that I first heard it.]
[And a special thanks to Stubie for letting me know. Looking forward to your next parody!]
and found it hilarious. It was put together by Stubie Doak of WBAP AM820 radio in Dallas (and before Emily slaps me around, yes, I support gay marriage but I still found it amusing).
Italicized is the actual song lyrics, non-italicized are actual newsclips. Any errors are mine and mine alone. Enjoy
(Minor, tragically unhip confession: I liked the Bee Gees before they went disco)
"Massachusetts becoming the first state in the nation to legalize gay marriage"
I think they’re smoking crack in Massachusetts
"Massachusetts is known as one of the most liberal states in the nation"
When they say "Daddy’s home", kids ask "which one? "
"Police officers are decked in white and blue ribbons"
And they like it kind of weird in Massachusetts
"We didn't think it would happen in our lifetimes"
Where your daughter-in-law could be the landlord's son
"This President favors the Bill of Rights. I call that irresponsible"
There's a giant, red-faced guy in Massachusetts
"The President of France is all that I need"
Two million glasses of Chivas can't be wrong
"Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam"
Well I'm really glad I'm not from Massachusetts
"Mushroom cloud? What does that mean?"
He does more in Happy Hour than most do all day long
"The next President of the United States! Gaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!"
There's a tall, two-sided man in Massachusetts
"I actually did vote for the 87 billion dollars before I voted against it"
Doesn't know which side of the gilded fence he's on
"We will oursource New Hampshire"
Well they're really different there in Massachusetts
"Uh, I don't have a clue"
There's not a lot to do when Celtics season's gone
They're smoking crack in Massachusetts
I think they're smoking crack in Massachusetts
"He's our candidate! He's the next President of the United States!"
I'm really glad I'm not from Massachusetts
"Oui oui!" "Oui oui!" "Oui oui!" "Oui oui!" "Oui oui!" "Oui oui!"
I'm really glad I'm not from Massachusetts
"Oui oui!" "Oui oui!" "Oui oui!" "Oui oui!" "Oui oui!" "Oui oui!"
I'm really glad I'm not from Massachusetts
I LOVE early Bee Gees. Yes, I also love the disco (particularly "Tragedy", one of their lesser-played hits)_- but the early pre-disco stuff is really cool.
I am unhip. And I am happy.

What a babe!
Posted by: Ken Summers, Honorary Jew, P.O.M.B. at May 19, 2004 12:21 PMStill waiting for an answer to the "P.O.M.B" question, though. I had 10 bucks on Mr. Bingley, but perhaps remembering the "Underdog" lyrics has overly taxed him for the day.
Posted by: Ken Summers, Honorary Jew, P.O.M.B. at May 19, 2004 12:24 PMdon't taunt me so, you, you, you Pimple On Moneran's Butt, you!
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at May 19, 2004 02:45 PMAnd Mr. Bingley wins 100 lo-cal points from a Moneran Butt Pimple.
Your mother must be proud.
Posted by: Ken Summers, Honorary Jew, P.O.M.B. at May 19, 2004 03:15 PMI think we need to develop a low-carb point system as well, Ken.
Posted by: Emily at May 19, 2004 03:17 PMAll meat all the time. I can get behind that.
Posted by: Ken Summers, Honorary Jew, P.O.M.B. at May 19, 2004 03:18 PMi like some buns every now and then, though...
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at May 19, 2004 03:21 PM[beavis]You said buns. Hu-huh.[/beavis]
Posted by: Emily at May 19, 2004 03:24 PMYeah, but I said "meat" Hu-huh!
Posted by: Ken Summers, Honorary Jew, P.O.M.B. at May 19, 2004 03:35 PMi was actually in massachusetts on monday at a bastion of hetero-male bonding, the golf outing. you'd have thought that there was nothing else going on in the world from the way all the papers screamed it aloud.
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at May 19, 2004 03:35 PMHeteros play golf? I never knew. [duck]
Posted by: Ken Summers, Honorary Jew, P.O.M.B. at May 19, 2004 05:16 PMAnd you think Emily's the one to start slapping you around, Ken? For the record, I actually AM from Massachusetts (even though I live in Florida), so I find this...
...particularly amusing. Especially since I thought John Kerry was a pompous flipflopping schmuck well before most of the country had ever heard of him.
Posted by: Dave J at May 19, 2004 06:28 PMNot thirteen. That is all.
Posted by: Emily at May 19, 2004 07:29 PMKerry who?
Posted by: Ken Summers, Honorary Jew, P.O.M.B. at May 19, 2004 09:50 PMouch! ooh! {insert stiff-shaft joke here}
Posted by: Mr. Bingley at May 20, 2004 03:47 AMThere's a giant, red-faced guy in Massachusetts
Guffawing over here.
Posted by: red at May 20, 2004 11:59 AMI won't slap Ken around. I let these trusty whips I've got here take care of the job.
Posted by: Emily at May 20, 2004 12:26 PMMistress Emily, I thought that was "our little secret".
Posted by: Ken Summers, Honorary Jew at May 20, 2004 12:36 PMIt was.
Posted by: Emily at May 20, 2004 12:40 PMAnd now it's everyone's little secret. Hey, everyone, please don't tell all the other women about this "little secret", okay?
And please don't tell them soon.
