Paul Shanklin:In A Yugo

I'm surprised with the passing of Rush and the various memories being shared that I haven't seen any mention of the parodies Rush played.

Looking through several of them brought back the laughter shared by our harmless little fuzz ball

[Alberta's Child]

I damn near peed in my pants listening to the Barney Frank impersonation in this one just now. LMAO.

“Try to Remember”

Lol I was just about to post that one. Perhaps one of his first originals

The banking queen. Highlighting bwany fwanks oversight of the community reinvestment act

[aquila48]

They are truly genius! And the voice impersonation is all but perfect.

I wonder if they are available as a collection.

[Toespi]

Great memories and these little tidbits lifted our spirits every time.

In a Yugo

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 Yugo

They say, "people don't you understand
Those suburbans are ruining the land"
But they'll wish they had a full size van one day
They point fingers at you and me
They say we're too blind to see
But do we simply use our heads
And choose another way?

As those small wheels turn
Fifty miles to the gallon
And their knees on their chest
They're gonna save enough gas
For all of the rest
In a Yugo

Then one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to miss a baby duck
They're squashed beneath a produce truck
But they drove with pride...

And as the crowds drive past a little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas
But they didnt get far
In a Yugo

And as they're trapped inside
At 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...

Every time I here that song I am reminded of this true story

Excerpt~

Pluhar, 31, a waitress from Royal Oak, was speeding across the bridge in her 1987 Yugo on Sept. 22, 1989, when 48-mph wind gusts caused her to lose control and plunge off the 5-mile suspension bridge to her death.

Jocelyn Elders updates were hilarious.

Here is one hour of classic vintage El Rushbo on his television show....

Speaking of Al Sharpton, you might enjoy this one:

“Reverend Al“, by Anthony Cumia

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

What was the deal with Rush and Shanklin? Did they have a falling out? In the past few years, Rush wouldn’t even play any of his parodies.

Is it Barney Frank, the “Banking Queen”?
(to the tune of ABBA’s Dancing Queen)

[patriot torch]

I wondered that too. And not just since his passing.

[volunbeer]

22:50 for the Jocelyn Elders segment on the video I linked above. Comedy gold. I wish he had kept his television show.

The Senator Kennedy joke was funny..... Kennedy is in his office when an aide runs in breathlessly and says “what are we going to do about the abortion bill?”

Kennedy says “well, I guess we pay it”

Damn he was funny. This stuff is still funny.
