We haven’t heard much from parody song writer/singer Ray Stevens in recent years. But he’s back with a vengeance and a new song called “Come to the USA.”
We haven’t heard much from parody song writer/singer Ray Stevens in recent years. But he’s back with a vengeance and a new song called “Come to the USA.”
And just for old times’ sake, here’s his famous “Ahab the Arab”, a song that would probably result in a fatwah if it were released today.
Steve Lee is an Australian gun lover. And “I Love Guns” is available at Australian gun stores and at his own online store.
The phrase “number one with a bullet” comes from Billboard Magazine’s practice of putting a bullet symbol next to songs that were zipping up the weekly record charts at a rapid rate.
We ran across this music video at the fabulous AceofSpades HQ site. It’s a country song, so we assumed Steve Lee, its singer, must be an American.
But wait. Why are Australian flags hanging on the wall in one scene? And why is the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car. And why is he driving on the wrong side of the road?
Hey, we didn’t watch all those old Perry Mason shows without learning how to read a clue or two.
Turns out Steve Lee is an Australian gun lover. And “I Love Guns” is available at Australian gun stores and at his own online store.
“I Love Guns.” Think of it as an Ode to the Second Amendment.

Merry Christmas. Or at least as merry as possible under the circumstances.

This video shows school children being led in a song about The One. We’re not sure which bothers us more — the introductory group chanting of the name “Barack Hussein Obama” or the fact that it’s sung to the tune of “Jesus Loves the Little Children.”
“What the hell is wrong with those paranoid conservatives? Why would they object to the president of the United States speaking to school children? His speech was inspirational.”
Blah-blah-blah. Shut up, libs.
This video shows school children being led in a song about The One. We’re not sure which bothers us more — the introductory group chanting of the name “Barack Hussein Obama” or the fact that it’s sung to the tune of “Battle Hymn of the Republic” with some lyrics from “Jesus Loves the Little Children” thrown in for good measure.
Any other questions about why conservatives didn’t want Obama speaking to their children?
Update: Song Lyrics
Song 1:
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama
Song 2:
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say “hooray!”
Hooray, Mr. President! You’re number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!
Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country’s economy number one again!
Hooray Mr. President, we’re really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!
So continue —- Mr. President we know you’ll do the trick
So here’s a hearty hip-hooray —-
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Update: Youtube removed the video, but we found another version and inserted it. Hopefully it stays.
As Steam said in 1969 and as hockey fans always sing to players heading for the penalty box, “Hey hey-ey, goodbye. Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye.

And to paraphrase Casey Kasem one more time, “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars, Van.”
“Barack Obama” by Blakk Rasta, a reggae song was palyed over and over in Accra, Ghana Africa. Is it pro-Obama or ant-Obama?
One song was played over and over when President Obama arrived in Accra, Ghana last week. It was a reggae hit called “Barack Obama” by Blakk Rasta.
We’re not big reggae fans. Sorry. We like it, but it’s just waaaaay to repetitive. It all sounds the same to us. Maybe we just have tin ears.
The Obama fans at the New York Times seem to think the song is a paean to The Greatest President In History. They called it a proud celebration of the first African-American president. And at first listen, it seems to be.
But as one HuffingtonPost.com comment said, “It a rebuke and a plea for action. It suggests that a black man as president is a sign that we’re in the end times. It’s critical of Obama’s views on social issues and America’s use of bombs. He calls Obama ‘idiot bwoy’ for using the words, ‘God bless America,’ and warns him that there are two-faced people ready to destroy him. It urges him to use his power to lift Africa out of poverty instead of joining with the people with the ‘fake’ smiles.”
Thought we also heard a line condemning Obama for “legalizing unnecessary abortions in America.”
We actually Googled the lyrics, but we’re just not fluent enough in rasta patois to comprehend them any better in written form than in audio form.
Listen to it. What do you think? Is the message pro-Obama? Anti-Obama?

Two of Lawrence Welk’s squeaky-clean singers perform the Brewer & Shipley song, “One Toke Over the Line.” The song references “Sweet Jesus,” which leads the grand old man of American music to describe it as “a modern spiritual.”
Maybe so. We know some people who claim they’ve seen God while they were stoned.
We just wish we’d be around when Welk found out what the song was really about.
This clip is damn near 40 years old now, but still hilarious.

Let’s make one thing clear right up front. This is not your typical list of patriotic songs. Hardly.
Each song on this list, while not a military song, was chosen because it expresses something honest about the troops. Their heart. Their grit. Their toughness. Their tenderness. The lives they lead that ordinary mortals can never imagine.
These are songs for the troops, about the troops. These are the songs that speak to them. The songs that inspired them to enlist. The songs that remind them to re-up. The songs that get them revved up. The songs they sing. The songs they live. The songs they love. Not military songs, but hopefully they will love them.
We were torn. Do we include the Jimmy Hendrix instrumental version or the Ted Nugent version. Let’s see, Ted’s a patriot and Jimi was a screwed up liberal drug addict. Let’s go with Ted.
