For your musical entertainment and amusement, here's a pretty clever take-off on the old Kenny Rogers hit, "You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Lucille." It's written and sung by Jonathan McWhite, accompanied by his brother David on guitar. Enjoy!

Best Paul Shanklin parody
Posted by Richard on September 20, 2010
In response to my "Obamaville" post, someone asked me offline what I considered Paul Shanklin's best parody song. That's tough, but I know which is my favorite: Elvis Presley (or someone like him) singing "In a Yugo" (to the tune of "In the Ghetto"). The lyrics are just priceless — and timeless.
As the snow flies…
At a used car lot on the edge of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo
And they drive with pride'cause if there's one thing that this world needs
It's environmental friends who'll take the lead
In a YugoThey say, "People don't you understand?
Those Suburbans are ruining the land!"
But they'll wish they had a full-size van one dayThey're pointing fingers at you and me
They say we're too blind to see
But do we simply use our heads
And choose a better way
As those small wheels turnFifty miles to the gallon and their knees on their chests
We're gonna save enough gas for all the rest
In a Yugo
Then one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to miss a baby duck
And are squashed beneath a produce truck
But they drove with prideAnd as the crowds drive past the little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas but they didn't get far
In a Yugo
And as they're trapped insideAt a used car lot on the other side of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo
And they drive with pride…

Obamaville
Posted by Richard on September 19, 2010
Paul Shanklin has been creating great musical parodies for almost two decades, many of them featured on the Rush Limbaugh Show. His latest is his best in years. Ladies and gentlemen, for your listening pleasure and amusement, here's George W. Bush (or someone like him) singing "Obamaville":

“We Con the World” is back on YouTube
Posted by Richard on July 10, 2010
The Flotilla Choir's marvelous "We Are the World" parody about "peaceful travelers" with guns and knives who just want to bring Gaza "some cheese and missiles for the kids" is once again available on YouTube. But why leave Combs Spouts Off? You can watch it right here.
This is a slightly different version, with some minor lyric changes (mostly improvements). And it includes more video clips of the "humanitarians" attacking the Israeli soldiers boarding their ship.
YouTube removed the video about a month ago and apparently restored it three days ago (judging from the comments). I guess the anti-Israelis running Warner Music and/or YouTube finally gave up on their ludicrous copyright infringement story. If song parodies constituted copyright infringement, Weird Al Yankovic would be selling tires or something.

The Three Terrors
Posted by Richard on June 20, 2010
The folks at LatmaTV who brought us the wonderful "We Con the World" have a new video. "Jihad is Sweet, Jihad is Fun" is performed by Iran's Ahmedido Domingo, Turkey's Erdogano Pavarotti, and Syria's Assad Carreras — The Three Terrors. Enjoy!
If you have an extra six minutes, watch the full Tribal Update of which the video below is a part. The portion of the "newscast" after the song is especially funny. It's in Hebrew, but subtitled (hide the Google ad covering the subtitles by clicking the X at its upper right).
And if you really liked "We Con the World," buy the T-shirt. I did.
