When I was a kid we sang it as:
This land is my land
It is not your land
if you don't get off
I'll blow your head off
I have a rifle
and you ain't got one
This land belongs to only me.
I guess these days singing that would get you in big trouble.
Friggin Hilarious!!!!
Thanks so much, that was fantastic.
Too Funny
bump
ROTF!
"You're a U.N. p*ssy..."
We had a shotgun in the version when I was a kid...
Bumping this back to the top... it's hilarious!
The server is often overloaded so it might take some patience, but worth the wait. Turn on the speakers and enjoy.
It was on Fox News about 40 minutes ago. It IS funny.
That was great....BUT, what does the President SAY at the very end???.....I can't figure it out.
"Oh, and Dick Cheney, too."
ping! I'll come back when the server's not 'getting slammed'
You mean the song by pinko Woody Guthrie should be our national anthem???
Kerry looks terrible no matter what. Liberals would hate this cartoon.
That's exactly what I mean.
bump for a laugh
Look at the lyrics:
Bush:
This land is your land.
This land is my land.
I'm a Texas tiger!
You're a liberal wiener. (Distinguishing himself as "tough" guy while Kerry is a wimp!) I'm a great crusader.
You're Herman Munster.
This land will surely vote for me.
Kerry:
This land is your land.
This land is my land.
I'm an intellectual.
You're a stupid dumb ***! (No policy distinctions; just the usual "Bush is stupid" line)
I'm a purple heart winner.
And yes, it's true, I won it thrice!
This land will surely vote for me.
Bush:
You have more waffles
Than a house of pancakes.
You offer flip-flops
I offer tax breaks! (Again, policy differences.)
You're a U.N. *****!
And yes, it's true that I kick ***! Ha! (Showing Bush as tough who won't bow before the U.N.)
This land will surely vote for me.
Kerry:
You can't say "nuclear"
That really scares me.
Sometimes a brain might (More on the "Bush is stupid" rhetoric)
Come in quite handy
But it won't help you
Because I won three purple hearts! (The Purple Hearts mentioned AGAIN! )
This land will surely vote for me.
======================================
You're right. This DOES make Kerry look terrible!
My music teacher in grade school, a die hard hippie leftist, made the class sing the original version in all its communist glory... I refused to sing it after reading the lyrics, at the time we were having problems with unwashed dope smokers breaking into our hobby farmhouse and doing wheelies in our pasture creek when we were gone so the disregard for private property was galling even for a 3rd grader. I’ve hated the song ever since, even with the revised and sanitized verses and have never understood why it became popular other than it’s simplistic and catchy like a commercial.
