Reminds me of the old parody song that used to be on Rush. It had Paul Shanklin doing Rev. Jesse Jackson singing “Jailhouse Vote”, to the Elvis song, “Jailhouse Rock”!!!
Funny as hell!
Anybody got a copy of that song? Put it right here!
Almost forgot ...
My FAVORITE line in the song has Jackson singing:
“...That man isn’t in there for selling twenty tons of crack!
I think we all know, it’s because he’s black! Let them vote!”
Funny as hell!
