DFU SONG: Midnight (BWAHAHAHAHAHA....the French will solve the riots with Le Midnight Basketball)
DFU SONGS | 11-2005 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 11/09/2005 8:08:34 AM PST by doug from upland

Note: I had never heard this song before, but when I searched for something with "midnight," this MIDI popped up. Hey, it had midnight in it, I liked the tune, so I took a shot. Does anyone have the original lyrics?

MIDI - MIDNIGHT

La...la la la la la la la...la...la la la la la la la la

As we watch our nation burning down, we are shouting out sacre bleu
We are feeling very helpless now...we don't know what we should do

America has faced this...yes, they have been down this road before
We have gotten a suggestion, here is something we'll explore

Watch us...we'll subsidize Le Midnight Basketball
La la la la la la la
We will do something that has always worked
Watch us...we'll subsidize Le Midnight Basketball
We are really desperate...and we hope that our chain has not been jerked

La...la la la la la la la...la...la la la la la la la la

We're afraid to ask America to send their soldiers here again
'Cause we know what they would say to us...they'd call us all girly men

They'll destroy the Eiffel Tower...and the Louvre is now in jeopardy
So at midnight we are praying...bouncing basketballs we'll see

Watch us...we'll subsidize Le Midnight Basketball
La la la la la la la
We will do something that has always worked
Watch us...we'll subsidize Le Midnight Basketball
We are really desperate...and we hope that our chain has not been jerked

Watch us...we'll subsidize Le Midnight Basketball
La la la la la la la
We will do something that has always worked
Watch us...we'll subsidize Le Midnight Basketball
We are really desperate...and we hope that our chain has not been jerked

Watch us...we'll subsidize Le Midnight Basketball
La la la la la la la
We will do something that has always worked
Watch us...we'll subsidize Le Midnight Basketball
We are really desperate...and we hope that our chain has not been jerked

Watch us...we'll subsidize Le Midnight Basketball
La la la la la la la
We will do something that has always worked
(fade out)

DFU, are you in contact with Buckhead? Mary Mapes is going to be on WRKO's Jon DePetro Show friday morning to drink some kool-aid as she sticks to the ANG fraud she perpetrated on the public. Perhaps he'd like to call. 1-617-266-6868.

Don't jeer because we celebrate
Armistice Day,
Though thirty years of sorry fate
Have passed away.
Though still we gaurd the Sacred Flame,
And fly the Flag,
That World War Two with grief and shame
Revealed--a rag.
For France cannot defend to-day
Her native land;
And she is far to proud to pray
For helping hand.
Aye, though she stands amid the Free,
In love with life,
No more her soil will shambles be
In world-war strife.

Still we who tend the deathless Flame
Of Verdun speak;
It is our glory and our shame,
For we are weak.
We have too much of blood and blight
To answer for . . .
No, France will never, never fight
Another war!




--- Robert Service

Thais hope English soccer will calm Muslim unrest
Reuters ^ | 8-16-05

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand is dishing out free cable television in its restive Muslim south in the hope that sports coverage such as English Premiership soccer will calm tensions in a region plagued by violence.

Interior Minister Kongsak Wantana told reporters on Tuesday an initial batch of 500 televisions would soon be installed at village tea shops so those who could not afford cable TV at home could all watch their favourite sports together.

"Televisions and sports will help liven up the region," said Kongsak, the fourth interior minister in less than two years to be faced with ending the unrest in which more than 800 people have been killed since January, 2004.

"Most children love watching sports on TV, but they can't afford that at home. So we are giving them what they love, hoping it can help solve the problem," said Kongsak, himself an avid golfer and a soccer player.

Buddhist Thailand has tried a range of measures to curb the violence in its three southernmost, Muslim-majority provinces, including lavish promises of development aid, martial law, and an airdrop of millions of paper birds.

None of them appear to have had any effect.

Summer of 1995. Midnight basketball in Harlem, and Mario Cuomo is there. He has plenty of time, as you recall, because the voters threw out his *** in the Miracle of '94.

But .. but...you didn't get your idea from my post.
And this isn't some contest....merely a case of "Great minds think alike."

I hereby aver that I had no part in the creation of DFU's song.

The Clinton Era certainly was helpful in that one way. ;)
