you song doesn't really scan at all
If you are going to make parody lyrics the lyrics should scan properly, and try making the verses rhyme. Other than that the lyrics aren't particularly funny or clever. Sorry, can't cheerlead this just because it slams Dems. Writing parody lyrics is an art. This ain't art. Its lame.

I just started this yesterday. Thanks for the advice. Maybe I shouldn't try any more of these I'll leave it to people like you with real talent. Sorry.

Do you think the Admin Moderator will ban me for this?

Can you give me some tips on writing parody? Are you a songwriter or musician? Thanks.

Excuse me...are we reading the same parody? This one is great as are all of Doug's which he's been writing since the Whitewater days. In fact there were many "sing alongs" in our household with Doug's parodies.

P.S. If you don't like it...don't read it but there's no reason to slam the author. We try to be civil on FR!

"Writing parody lyrics is an art."

Why don't you give us an example of an artfully-done parody?
