If you want your own land, Then go and buy land! Regards, Bob |

08 Feb 05 - 01:05 PM (#1402674) Subject: RE: This Land is your land (parody) From: Jacob B Martin Mull used to perform a song based on This Land is Your Land. He couldn't record it because of objections from the Guthrie estate. The verses were spoken, and the chorus sung to the tune of This Land. Here's what I remember of it. Chorus: This land ain't your land This land is my land From the New York Yankees To Lebanon Long Island From the Gulf Stream golf course To the U.S. Air Force This land was made for guys like me. Verse 1: I'm about as groovy as a John Wayne movie ... Verse 2: Now the hippies they are quiet But you know they're going to riot Got to be subversive cause they look so strange Walking down the street With their hair to their feet Hand out to greet you "You got any spare change?" Well, I never give them any Not a penny I just punch them in the mouth and I say "If this country sucks, well, so do I "And I'll fight to keep it that way." Sorry that I don't remember more, but I only heard it once, thirty years ago. Jacob |

08 Feb 05 - 04:51 PM (#1402948) Subject: RE: This Land is your land (parody) From: George Seto - af221@chebucto.ns.ca To complete the information for Kendall, it appears to come from this web-site, and the author's name is David Pratter, and his title is This Land is My Land. This precedes the song itself: Please note that the author of this song does not believe in domination or colonizing land at all, he just thought up this song for fun. In reality, he really does believe in freedom and unity, and does not force anyone off his own land nor threaten anyone with violence. He believes in non-violence and does not own any firearms. He would also like to see firearms banned, and everyone on earth getting along in peace and harmony! To conclude the song: Again, this song is not to be taken seriously, it was just written for fun! Never would the author of this song really say such phrases to you if you ever met him. He does want to see the world become united as one, and no more war on any nations

09 Feb 05 - 12:15 AM (#1403360) Subject: RE: This Land is your land (parody) From: Gary T The website George linked has this statement: "The parody authors spend a lot of time writing parodies for website." It seems to imply that they wrote the material specifically to put on their site. Maybe so, but about 20 years ago (obviously long before anyone had a website) I heard this version: This land is my land, it sure ain't your land 'Cause I got a shotgun, and you ain't got one You better get off, 'fore I blow your head off This land is private property |

21 Feb 05 - 01:24 AM (#1416156) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: This Land is Your Land (parody) From: GUEST And many years ago I heard an Alaskan version, I never did learn all the words. I wonder if anyone knows it. I remember: This land is your land, It sure ain't my land From the ice at Barrow To the Wrangell Narrows, This land was made for you not me. (And I live in Alaska, have for many years, don't agree with the words of this one either, but there was a lot in the song that was pretty funny. As to the original, I think it should be our national anthem. mj |

I heard Martin Mull on the radio a couple of days ago, talking about his acting career. It's been a long time since he's been singing. (And what are the odds that I would happen to check into Mudcat and see your post half a day after you posted it, seven years after I posted the rest of the song?) Jacob |
