Hi Everyone. I haven't visited this site in quite a few years due to trying to focus on completing a novel. I am from time to time still pulled into lyric writing when sufficiently inspired and the following is a parody I wrote after hearing the John Prine song "Oldest Baby In The World" recently. It is poking fun at our president so if this doesn't appeal to you please don't view it. Hope to reconnect with a few old friends while I'm here and I am always open to co-writing adventures. I haven't included the lyrics here because each frame is clearly captioned. More of a slideshow than music video. https://vimeo.com/280833095

LOL. Humor is about the only thing that can keep us sane these days. Nicely done.

i share your views on TRUMP and The Tempo is a bit old fashioned
for Me
I would have loved it to be sung and played in the style of
Coward Of The County recorded by Kenny Rogers with that Two / Four
Bass Beat , Maybe a different tune but close to the original song even so
well done It made me smile
One of the most important principles of songwriting is to remember that a good song is a partnership of many different components, all working together to produce a satisfying musical experience.
In that respect, song components are either enhancing or compromising their combined effects.

Humm, Probably needs a lot more fine tuning. Nero Fiddled while Rome Burned, and dammit Trump is draining the Swamp! Your Parody isn't funny at all.Keep trying.

Well, I will admit that Ray's assertion that Trump is draining the swamp is a bit funnier than Bobby's song. That doesn't mean it's not funny though.

The worst thing about it is it drags And Funny with a small F
Delivering Comedy in a song , is an art only achieved by a few Alan Sherman
with Hello Mudder Hello Fardder, is funny because most of us have experienced
similar experiences; Laughter is looking at life itself and pointing out the
Daft things people get up too. and exaggerating those scenes
Spike Jones version Of--- I Went To Your Wedding --is played more than
the serious version that came out years before by Patti Page

Aw, Well, For some fun songs with a Political Bent you can Google, ALL OF THE MONKEYS AIN'T IN THE ZOO by Tommy Collins, or, THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS ON THE LEFT by Johnny Cash, or, for where the Muller Team is now, you can Google ODE TO THE LITTLE BROWN SHACK OUT BACK, by Billy Edd Wheeler.

Yes, the Mueller team certainly is wading through a whole outhouse's worth of sh*t
