99 Revisited

As inspired by a commenter at Hot Air, a whack at Toto's classic, devoted to the possibility that the Republicans could take 99 seats in the House in two weeks...

99
I've been waiting so long
Oh 99
Where did the Dems go wrong
Oh 99
I love you

99
Don't go breaking my heart
Oh 99
You can give us a start
Oh 99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
But you can turn it for us
We don't want Obamism any more
I knew it would never work out
Dems are to blame
You know i love you 99

99
Turn it hard to the right
Oh 99
Make it day and not night
Oh 99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
But you can turn it for us
We don't want Obamism any more
I knew it would never work out
Dems are to blame
You know i love you 99

99
I can't take it no more
Oh 99
Time to even the score
Oh 99
I love you

I never thought it would happen
But you can turn it for us
We don't want Obamism any more
I knew it would never work out
Dems are to blame
You know i love you 99

Boss of the Union

Andy Stern may officially be gone as the head of the SEIU (Socialist Extortionists International Union), but he still has the power, as we caught him singing this song on his way to a clandestine meeting with President Obama last week...

Now I'm a union man
Amazed at what I am
I say what I think, that America stinks
Yes I'm a union man

When we meet in the local hall
I'll be voting with them all
With a hell of a shout, it's "Out brothers, out!"
And the rise of America’s fall

Oh, you don't get me, I'm boss of the union
You don't get me, I'm boss of the union
You don't get me, I'm boss of the union
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

SEIU has made me wise
To the lies of the tea party spies
And I don't get fooled by America’s rules
'cause I always read between the lines

And I always get my way
And the money that comes each day
Even though I’m retired, I still roll out in style
And this is what I say:

Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm boss of the union
You don't get me, I'm boss of the union
You don't get me, I'm boss of the union
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

Before the union did appear
My life was half as clear
Now I've got the power to the working hour
And every other day of the year

So though I'm a union man
I can run the government's plan
And though I'm not hard, the sight of my card
Makes me some kind of superman

Oh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm boss of the union
You don't get me, I'm boss of the union
You don't get me, I'm boss of the union
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

You don't get me, I'm boss of the union
You don't get me, I'm boss of the union
You don't get me, I'm boss of the union
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

Walk Democrat Walk

The latest update of the classic Hives tune... Walk Democrat Walk...

Well is it true what they say about it
They say it's new but I have to doubt it
And then they tell you everything about it
Man it’s bad

I got some people saying this way
I got some people saying that way
I got some people saying there's no way
Ain't it sad

See the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
See the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard
See the Democrat walk
See the Democrat talk
See the Democrat write up his name on the ballot
They say this is all I need to get by
The truth is baby it's a lie

Well is it true what they say about it
You oughtta do what I do and doubt it
He won and now he's gonna do something about it
Ain't it sad

And if you don't wanna feel like a putz
Collect the clues and connect the dots
You'll see the pattern that is bursting your bubble
And it's Bad

See the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
See the Democrat chalk up his name on the blackboard
They say this is all I need to get by
The truth is baby it's a lie

If we review the winning combination
Body at work and a mind on vacation
Who had the brain where it started to sink in
It was you

You've seen the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
But you never learned nothing and nothing isn't over
See the Democrat walk
See the Democrat talk
Still you never learned nothing and nothing isn't over
They say this is all I need to get by
The truth is baby it's a lie

The Great Pretender 2010

We now know a lot more about the president than we used to know. A high White Horse souse tipped us to what he's now singing in the halls of the White House late at night...

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending I'm doing well
My need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Fox News just won't let me alone
I'm always right, but they keep up the fight
And Rush is there still piling on.

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
I pulled the wool over their eyes
I seem to be what I'm not you see
My image is nothing but lies

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Too many have seen through my mask
I've been exposed for the thief in my heart
I'm wearing my heart like a crown

While I'm tearing America down
(America down).

Joe Man

There is a coach whose teams have won nearly 400 games -- at the same school.
The school, of course, is Penn State. The coach -- Joe.
The song? Joe Man.

Comin' to ya on a mountain road
Good football we got a truckload
And when you get it you got something
So don't worry cause we're coming

I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man

Got what I got the Lions way
And they make it better each and every day
So honey don't you fret
Cause you ain't seen nothing yet

I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man
Play it Steve!
I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man

Listen
Ain't no Buckeyes we can't beat
No Wolverines we can't defeat
Kill the Hawkeyes, Badgers too
Ain't nothin' our Nittany Lions can't do

I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man

We're in our seats for whiteout night
All set to go and cheer the mighty Lions
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a Joe man
You're a Joe man
I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man
I'm a Joe man

The Thrill Is Gone

Our staff found this classic from PMSNBC commentator Chris Matthews, The Thrill is Gone...
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
My leg don't get that tingle now
I'm afraid it's gone to stay

The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
You've so disappointed me

The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Don't know if I can get over it all
Just like I know a man should

You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free now
I'm free from your spell
You done let me down hard
All I can do is say go to hell.
