Subject: RE: Songs for Age of Trump (protest/anti Donald Trump) From: YorkshireYankee Date: 07 Jun 25 - 05:41 PM Cool Beans, love your parody! This one is past its prime already, and probably not suitable for marches, but I'll share it here anyway... MAPMAKER To the Tune of "Matchmaker" by Sheldon Harnick & Jerry Bock new words by Vikki Appleton © 10 Feb 2025 Mapmaker, Mapmaker, make me a map Do as I say, fill it with crap Mapmaker, Mapmaker, be a good schnook And make me a rubbish map Mapmaker, Mapmaker, I’ll bring the lies You bring the map for us to revise Fill it with swill for I’m longing to be The Caesar of all I see For Bannon, make it outrageous For Elon, add a swastika too Don’t think of being courageous Just follow the orders I give to you Mapmaker, Mapmaker, make me a map Do as I say, fill it with crap Day after day in DC I’m a drone So make me a map all my own... Donald, oh Donald, have I got a map for you The countries and towns Are all named after you So it’s a nice plan, a good map, true? True It ought to make you happy Your ego satisfy Although it prob’ly won’t Don’t ask me why Did you think we’d make some prints? Well, I do the best I can With no wisdom, no morals, no sense of discretion It’s mad you’ve got a plan! Mapmaker, Mapmaker make it so good I’ll tell you how, I know we could I am a genius but misunderstood So… crown me a king Groom me for doom Find me a mind Map me some crap And make me a hapless map! (Many thanks to Joe Offer for the idea for this parody.) |

Subject: RE: Songs for Age of Trump (protest/anti Donald Trump) From: MaJoC the Filk Date: 08 Jun 25 - 07:06 AM Still a good'n, YorkshireYankee. I hereby suggest a follow-up on the lines of the Diddums-in-Chief declaring that the international dateline shall henceforth go down the middle of the Atlantic, so that he can start any particular day of the week before those pesky Europeans get their mitts on it. Damn damn damn: now I've got "When it's Tuesday in Italy, it's Wednesday over here" running through my head, without even a tune. *Argh*, in spades. |

Subject: RE: Songs for Age of Trump (protest/anti Donald Trump) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 Aug 25 - 04:47 PM Came across this on YouTube, a link posted on FB by Janis Ian. When That Man is Dead And Gone was written by Irving Berlin in 1941 about Hitler, but it of course fits perfectly today. |

Subject: RE: Songs for Age of Trump (protest/anti Donald Trump) From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 15 Aug 25 - 07:39 PM Nice song....SRS... Fits perfectly for Putin. Who will be caught, tried, convicted, in international court in the Hague. What a fool to enter the USA. Imagine the world wide bounty on his head. Sincerely, Gargoyle I like Trump ... I Like Trump ... I LIKE TRUMP! Nice ring and rhythmos. Get used to it ... Six More Years! |

Subject: RE: Songs for Age of Trump (protest/anti Donald Trump) From: Helen Date: 15 Aug 25 - 07:43 PM On the Turning Away Pink Floyd On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won't understand Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away It's a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting its shroud Over all we have known Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone We could find that we're all alone In the dream of the proud On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite in a silent accord Using words, you will find, are strange Mesmerised as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It's not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there'll be No more turning away? Written by: David Jon Gilmour, Anthony Jon Moore Album: A Momentary Lapse of Reason Released: 1987 |

Subject: RE: Songs for Age of Trump (protest/anti Donald Trump) From: Stilly River Sage Date: 06 Sep 25 - 12:06 PM This protest song Join ICE is short enough that transcribing it won't take long to the motivated listener. It has a hint of Arlo Guthrie. |

Subject: RE: Convicted felon US 47 Pres /Thiel coup 3 From: Donuel Date: 21 Sep 25 - 08:15 AM Be my guest... Shut your face you disgrace Support Trump in his next race Our dear leader's skin is thinner than a sheet of plastic wrap Mums the word Have you heard Kissing ass is what's preferred Don't insult our great dictator Or he'll hit you with a turd. The new rule at ABC Don't make fun of Donny T And don't point out that his neck is mostly flap Don't make a scene or mention Jeff Epstein Shut your face Shut your face you disgrace. |

Subject: RE: Songs for Age of Trump (protest/anti Donald Trump) From: Joe Offer Date: 18 Oct 25 - 03:06 PM Well, today is another day for "No Kings" rallies all over the world. I have special concern for the beautiful City of Portland, Oregon, which is currently occupied by Trump's goons. The locals have responded with frogs and other cute animals. I don't quite get the significance of the frogs, but here's "The Ballad of the Portland Frog Brigade." What happens when a giant frog, a chicken, a bear, and a unicorn take to the rainy streets of Portland? You get The Frog Brigade — a hilarious, heart-warming, and foot-stompin’ country-folk anthem about standing up (and hopping up) for what’s right, with laughter leading the way! This original song tells the true-to-life tale of the Portland Frog Protester — a peaceful demonstrator who used humor and a big green inflatable frog suit to bring smiles and sanity to serious times. It’s a story of courage, creativity, and the unstoppable spirit of joy that keeps Portland weird and wonderful.
