The Lyrics
This is the first time for this OS here. It has always been a favorite S&G tune of mine. I usually strive for funny but, this is more in keeping with the protest songs which were prevalent at the time the OS was released. Happy Independence Day!Please take the time to listen to the audio version of this parody at the link below. It has more impact than simply reading it (IMHO): http://www.soundclick.com/bands/6/rickcormier_music.htm
Saudi
They own the day and night, the Saudi
In time, they'll have us hanging from their tree
Yeah, it's a hitch-knot awaits our smiles
We're a good-for-nothing child
Joined in sin, we're tainted, vile
They'll leave our autos waiting
Down the road, nothing for miles
Saudi
We will be scattered by the Saudi
They take no orders from you or me
To Esso they will sell
To destroy the infidel
Through Sunoco and through Shell
Got our dollars in their pockets
Buys a lot of ways to kill
Osama
I'd like to tell you, "Hey, your mama!"
Though stomping on your face won't mend my bind
In crowds, we rush to buy
So our floats* don't rest on dry
Hear their laughter as we cry
They know just what they're doing
But, my friend, do you or I?
Saudi,
Saudi,
Saudi,
Saudi
They own the day and night, the Saudi
In time, they'll have us hanging from their tree
Yeah, it's a hitch-knot awaits our smiles
We're a good-for-nothing child
Joined in sin, we're tainted, vile
They'll leave our autos waiting
Down the road, nothing for miles
Saudi
We will be scattered by the Saudi
They take no orders from you or me
To Esso they will sell
To destroy the infidel
Through Sunoco and through Shell
Got our dollars in their pockets
Buys a lot of ways to kill
Osama
I'd like to tell you, "Hey, your mama!"
Though stomping on your face won't mend my bind
In crowds, we rush to buy
So our floats* don't rest on dry
Hear their laughter as we cry
They know just what they're doing
But, my friend, do you or I?
Saudi,
Saudi,
Saudi,
Saudi
*in case you didn't know, a float is a device in the fuel tank of an automobile. It bobs on the surface of the fuel and, being connected to the fuel gauge, indicates the level of fuel in the tank.

A fitting message..very well expressed..
if S and G wouldn't perform this, I know CSN and Y would have - very 60s in sentiment, Rick, and solid writing - 555
Geez, Rick...I remember the song without using the link...for sure it hasn't been used here before...nice OS choice here...nice take on the subject, too...5's ~ ~ ~
But, Paul, I want you to use the link to hear my version of the OS. I am a parody writer who also sings his parodies in public. How many of us would have heard of WAY if it weren't for his recordings?
DKTOS, so I'll get around to listening to this in a minute... well, maybe a bit more as I've got to go now.
for some reason, my computer wouldn't allow me to get on your site...but i liked the parody...5s
DKTOS, Rick...but I'll try to track it down so I can come back and vote for this.
Rick, OH...I missed the point there, then...have to come back later this evening to check it out...trying to be somewhere about 15 minutes ago ~ ~ ~
DKTOS? The lyrics are here: http://www.lyricsdepot.com/simon-garfunkel/cloudy.html and my audio version is here: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/6/rickcormier_music.htm
Heard it, yeah the midi is all synthy, but I'm amazed at your ability to sound like other people. I always sound like me. (Damn)
Thanks for introducing me to a new S and G tune. Really loved it and like Rick D. said, amazed at your ability to sound like other people. 5's
Brilliant & original --- congrats, dude!
Thanks AFW, Stu, Paul, Phil, Alvin, Kristof, Rick D, Adagio and Johnny D.
Just listened to your recording, Rick...awesome job, dude. Great vocals. Do you play guitat or keyboards, too? Great parody also.
Thanks, Dee. I mostly play keyboards now, although I can play guitar.
Good parody, and good message...
Thank you MrMacphisto
Nice work, you ragamuffin child. It's alarming the lengths we'll go to to keep our SUVs running. Some great subs for the OS here - especially the title. Great vocals on the recording too.
Thanks Spaff.
Rick. RIck Cormier, is that you??? OMFG - i've heard better sounds coming out of my dog's butt!! What was that?? Are you out of your mind?? Anyone who thought that was funny probably also laughs at little old ladies getting run over by cars!! You should stick to selling electronics and leave the song writing to the real professionals!!
Dear Andrew, as I said in the forward above, this one wasn't meant to be funny. If you want to laugh, find a mirror. :-)
