Too good for words, Johnny!! "He's been fired and replaced with a barn owl"...awesome! 555

I like the barn owl line too

Me too! I never saw the resemblance until now! And the Fadya and Mudya is especially clever!

Very good!! I'm glad you're taking pot shots at both sides, I wouldn't want you just on the opposing team. :D 5's

"Secret Service/They were great men/Hiked before me/And bears ate them" was pure genious!

Great as usual Johnny! What more can I say? :)

I�ve used the Swedish version of this song for parody (in Swedish) more than once. Or at least that�s what I think. When I look at the pacing structure here it�s the same as "hejsan morsan, hejsan stabben" which is (somewhat old) Swedish slang for "hallo mother, hallo father". I taking a (not so) wild guess that they are the same and base my pacing judgement on that, so here�s 555. Ever heard of Cornelis Vreesvijk? This makes me curious to who was the original writer. I know Cornelis translated some other stuff so I�m guessing it�s "your" guy though.

hello fives

I'd call Allen Sherman the Sultan of Salami, but Bush might declare him part of the Axis of Evil. Of course, as Johnny D has taught us, the real "Sultan of Salami" is... a certain long, long, I mean LONG shoreman from Deetroit. And as song hints go, that one's bigger than most.

Brilliant as always, Johnny. 555 because that's as high as the scale goes! "To deflate John Kerry's tax-and-spender member," Oy!

Loads of funnies, JD... Very good indeed :-)

I agree with all of the previous comments, but "beaten by a chad" might be my favorite line.

Thanks very much, everybody! ;-D

Kristof Robertson: Aw shucks, thanks KR!
Royce Miller: Glad to hear it! That barn owl seems like a popular image!
Ashkicksass: You know, I wasn't consciously thinking about how Colin Powell actually does kind of resemble an owl....he does, come to think of it!
Adagio: I'm an InDependsDent - that means BOTH parties get me pissed!
MasonR: Thanks - but poor bears, those pocket-sized machine-guns must've given 'em major indigestion!
Cookie-man: You said it all, C-man, thanks!
Know 1 can hear you dream: I haven't heard of Cornelis Vreesvijk. Among Americans of my generation, "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" is pretty much a comedy classic...I'd be surprised if Sherman didn't write it. But I don't know for sure...does anyone?
alvin Rhodes: Thank you, AAAAAALLLVIIIINNNN ! No, wait a minute, that's David Seville.
Michael Pacholek: All right, here we go yet again:

The legend lives on from A.Sherman on down
Of the fictional camp called Granada
Where counselors roam the camp red-eyed and stoned
From a tea that sure ain't called Salada.

Stray Pooch: Oy is right! Mazel Tov!
Phil Alexander: Thank you, Sir Philbo The Furry-Footed! You are truly a Halfling amongst Hobbits!
John Jenkins: Thanks JJ.

You labeled this from the 60s, that�s partly why I asked, the Swedish version is from the 60s too, as far as I know.

Fab.

FAB, thanks, and so are you!

K1chyd, thanks for the additional info.

I'm a little behind in my voting so I just found this one. This is hilarious! Love the bears line and the chad line best! :-D

Thank you, Merry! ;-D
