DFU SONGS ^ | 8-2006 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

[doug from upland]

MIDI - WEREWOLVES OF LONDON - this was written to a different MIDI that no longer exists....I hope this works

(intro)

They will kill you when you're riding the train
Of course, they will kill you when you're flying a plane
And they're gonna kill you boarding a bus
They'll say, "Infidel, you are not one of us"

Beware...Muslims in London...beware
Beware...Muslims in London...beware

In the mosques they have been preaching hate
People awoke just a little too late
All over Europe they've become a big threat
It's not too late to stop them yet

Beware...Muslims in London...beware
Beware...Muslims in London...beware

(musical break)

If you see some guys with towels on top their heads
Chances may be good that they are wanting you dead
You cannot profile...I guess that's just not right
Oh, well, I guess you could die tonight

Beware...Muslims in London...beware
Beware...Muslims in London...beware

You must always be so sensitive
Don't hurt their feelings...live and let live
If you're living by that little rule
Your mama has raised up quite a fool
If you don't know that they want conversion or your death
You must be on meth

Bewaaaaaaaaaare...Muslims in London...beware
Bewaaaaaaaaaare...Muslims in London

Send that into a few radio stations.

It needs to be said and heard.

[doug from upland]

I wish someone would record it. Anyone?

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Good One! Sorry Doug, I don't own a recording studio though......I wish I did. :)

[HiTech RedNeck]

you'd need to get a license for the music from whoever owns that copyright.

[SHOOT THE MOON bat]

This just might be the best one yet.

Actually, in 1994, in a case involving 2 Live Crew's parody of "Oh Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that parodies can be a "fair use" of an original song, requiring no permission or royalties. One of the main points the Supreme Court made was that when a parodist significantly changes the words and meaning of an original song to spoof it, the parody becomes a new work -- even if it uses the music of the original. And that to do a parody of a song, you need to use at least some of the music of the original to "conjure up" the original. You can't have a parody without having elements of the original in that parody.

From Apologetix site.

I do suggest that anyone doing this do what Apologetix does and hire a lawyer expert in the subject.

The link doesn't work but the song is excellent and so sadly true.

[airborne]

I wish someone would record it. Anyone?

Where's Warren Zevon?

[Tenniel]

Alas, 'e joined the Choir Invisible, back in 2003.

[doug from upland]

There have been court decisions that have allowed parody.

[airborne]

Well, that rules him out.

[doug from upland]

The link takes you to the website. Then you click on the MIDI and it should open in your default player.

Doug, I wish you'd start your ping thread back up for new songs. I'm afraid I miss some of them.
