Yeah, I can't sing for Sanders. Anyone who can sing and who wants to cover this song is welcome to do so, and I mean that sincerely.
I write and record all my music under the stage name of Hopalong Ginsberg. Given the topic of today's song I am very glad of that fact.

Hopalong Ginsberg Ping List
FReepmail me to get on or off the Hopalong Ginsberg Ping List.
Marking for later.
I need to be on this list. I’m a YouTube subscriber but I don’t always pay attention to their notifications.
Good parody, lyrics and song tempo.
With best of intention, some constructive input -
1. Add powerful pictures of Muslim atrocities throughout the video, lyrics superimposed over.
2. Find a great baritone singer who can emulate Mr. Cohen’s singing style and range.
Keep up the Good work!
As a Leonard Cohen fan I consider this a sacrilege.
:-)
.
You and Hamas. ;^)
Both good ideas. I will admit that my production was limited by my video (and vocal) skills.
As a Leonard Cohen fan I consider this a sacrilege.
Yes, it is. Even the cover by Buckley was considered sacrilege.
You’re added.
Can you post your lyrics? I have a few ideas for some edits that might make it easier to sing.
OK.
“Allahu Akbar” (parody of “Hallelujah”)
Lyrics by Hopalong Ginsberg; Music by Leonard Cohen
The Jews of Medina took you in
Lest before the L-rd they sin
But charity is not part of who you are.
You took their arms, their wealth, their land
Killed all those who would make a stand
Punctuating each demand with “Allah akbar!”
Allahu akbar...
Allahu akbar...
Allahu akbar...
Allahu akbar
The Towers burned and quickly fell
Turned into a piece of Hell
Three thousand lives extinguished like a dead star.
In the streets you cheered and cried
Laughing as the people died
From the rooftops you replied “Allahu akbar!”
[chorus]
The relics of a bygone age
Filled you with a jealous rage
Reminding you that you had fallen so far.
The beauty you could not create
You’d burn and crush and desecrate
Destroying with a bitter “Allahu akbar!”
[chorus]
You loved death, but they loved life
And so your children took the knife
The hatred in their souls as black as coal tar.
The innocent they then struck down
The blood spilled on the holy ground
Murdered to the sound of “Allahu akbar!”
[chorus x 2]

Ceaseless humiliating ridicule is one of the Most Powerful tools we have in the fight against destructive forces like the left, and islamic.
Efforts like yours, when optimized and widely broadcast, serve to outrage, stymie, and demoralize these insecure adversaries.
Tyrants want to be feared and respected.
Mass ridicule denies them of gratifying their egos.
March on DC enmasse to savagely humiliate these enemies of our country!
My God,what a beautiful voice.
Thanks for sharing it-—you made my day.

Alinsky the Alinskyites.
P.S. One reason I took on this topic was because Islamists try to scare people away from doing so.
