While ruminating in the bathroom this am, I was thinking about the old Country Joe tune, Feel like I'm fixing to die rag and all the stuff today and this popped into my head:

and it's one two three what are we fighting for?
Another Bush needs another war...


I'm no topical songwriter (lean toward the gooshy stuff myself) but if anyone wants to use that, have at it! Hey, maybe you could even start it with the Bush cheer... gimme a B... gimme a U... gimme an S...

BTW wasn't exactly sure what classification this post should fall under...

It's got some possibilities, Jim and your designation is fine, except that actual musical related stuff doesn't usually get the "BS" label.:-)

I think I'd do it a little differently as in one, two, three, what are we marching for/you say ol' Bush wants a war...etc.

Welcome to the Mudcat!

Ah, but I liked the reference to "another Bush" since it was the second Bush in recent history to be sending our troops to fight... that, and "read my lips, no new taxes" which was, read my e-mail, a freakin' lie and about the time I started voting Democratic!

But then again, I ain't Phil Ochs.

Yeah, I get your point. Have you seen the poster which is a spoof of the Star Wars Attack of the Clones? It has the Shrub on it and is renamed the Clone of the Attack, with his dad in the background etc. Well done..all about him finishing his daddy's dirty work, etc. implied.
