The Lyrics
DKTOS? Click here
I do my part, I pay my dime.
Now I help to gnaw a big bite out of crime
It's due to me the P.O.W.s will soon be free!
It doesn't take much work to do -- simple as could be!
It's.. done.. ea..sil..y,
Applied a bunch of stickers to my S.U.V.
This one over here,
Stamps out H.I.V.
(H.I.V.)
This slogan, here, is fixin' our e-con-o-my,
Supportin' the troops
And veteran groups,
Ending poverty!
It's all by stickin' helpful stickers on my S.U.V!
Cure cancer, end lung disease
Win the war on terror single hand-ed-ly
Your little kid is missing? He'll be found because of me!
A simple plastic sticker's all we need to keep us free!
Achieve a lasting peace!
A pile of legislation will be his-to-ry
We'll get four more years
Cheaper gas-o-line
(Gas for free!)
Kids say no to drugs and it's because of me,
I've straightened the fags,
Protected my flag,
Pa-tri-otic-'ly!
And I'll convert the whole wide world to Chris-ti-an-it-y!
Will the home team's fans be cheering?
In the bag, it's guaranteed!
I've stuck their mascot's sticker on my S.U.V.!
I'll bring 'em home, mmm hmm.
(Buy a sticker for your S.U.V.
Buy a sticker for your S.U.V.
Buy a sticker for your S.U.V.
Buy a sticker for your S.U.V.
Buy a sticker for your S.U.V.
Buy a sticker for your S.U.V.)
Now I help to gnaw a big bite out of crime

Oh this is excellent - and what a perfect choice for the Original Song!!! "Straightened the fags, protected my flag" was a gem! And you pick on both sides so left and right will be equally offended and appeased - lol! 555 and well-deserved!
Thanks Stray Pooch, glad you enjoyed it! :)
I screwed up the case in the link to the original, so it doesn't work -- use this URL, instead:

Love this! Of course, we know the real solution to these problems -- Live-aid concerts!
Thanks Rex! True, but Live Aid is so much work... you have to remember what time it's going to be on and which channel, pick up the remote and push buttons some of its buttons and then leap across the room to lick the television screen whenever there's a close-up of Billie Joe... What? I'm the only one? The devil you say! ;)
Very funny, Melhi. Lots of good lines. My shrink is wondering if you can fix me! High 5's
Thanks Dee. I wrote your name on a band-aid and stuck it to my fender, you should be all fixed, now! :)
A beautiful work of cynicism. Slapped on some 5s.
Thanks Steven! Always room for more of those! :)
Thanx for providing the link, it confirmed what I'd already guessed, that with also pacing taking into consideration this one is definitely your second in SOTM territory in just a few days. 555, but as you've already noticed I myself have already taken it upon me to "win the war on terror single hand-ed-ly". ;-)
Ah, what the heck, I'll plug for it anyway:

Thanks K1 (you're trying to train me to call you Peter, aren't you?... Ok... here goes...) Thanks Peter. :) Oh yesssss, I noticed that you had brought that line of mine to life, already -- that parody of yours is FABULOUS -- I wish I'd thought of it, first and the last time I checked not NEARLY enough people had had the pleasure, yet! I'm sooo glad you plugged it! Folks, seriously, if you haven't already, go check out K1's (Peter's) "If You Don't Know Who To Come For, Come For Me!" You'll be so glad you did!
Wonderful, Melhi, brilliant and funny! This past weekend my wife and I were at our local supermarket in Concord, Massachusetts, and we saw an S.U.V. in the parking lot with a bumper-sticker that said, "Simplify, Simplify". That's a quote from Henry David Thoreau, author of "Walden", former famous Concord resident, and spiritual grandfather of the environmental movement. When we were leaving the parking lot, the driver of that S.U.V. was getting into his muscle-wagon .... when he drove past us, I rolled down my window and said to him, "Simplify, simplify." I don't think he got it.
Thanks Johnny D.! I'm ROFLMAO at your story, too! I love that you actually said that out loud to him -- that he had the sticker is funny enough, but that he didn't seem to get it is just TOO priceless! You know, you *really* ought to send that one, exactly as written above, to the Reader's Digest. :)
Ha! That's fantastic - dry and droll, Melhi (the best punches to pack) - big 5s - "yep, got me a bumper sticker - can't say I'm not doin' my bit!"
here's some fives to stick on there...funny concept
Perfect.
Thanks Stu, Alvin and Leo! Stu: It's the least you can do (literally!) Alvin, feel free to stick as many of those on as you want! (hee hee!) Leo... wow, I can't ask for higher praise than that, thanks!
Geez! One of my Jedi mind tricks actually worked! =8-()

*ever the opportunist, I roll an unconcious Peter/K1 for change* Drat! Just a wad of pocket lint and the sticky thing it's stuck to... and I already have one of those of my own. Oh well, at least I can still have some fun with permanent markers! *draws a Groucho Marx mustache & eyebrows on Peter's face* Hee hee! :D :D :D
Hey Peter, try the Risa Horgon Pinch next. ;-)
Just FABulous, Melhi...I tried to pick a favorite line, but every one is superb!
Wow, thanks Arwen! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I barely remember the original, but I thought this one was really clever. I just happened to notice the ads on the right sidebar...I'm getting a kick out of those. =) Anyway, even though I don't remember the original song too well, I'm going to vote 5-5-5 on it anyway. :)
Very fun! I just love it when I read a really really great parody, one well above avg. on this site! It makes the whole visit so much fun! Thanks for the song, very funny! 555
Thanks Serafina and linda! Wow, linda... I'm speechless... your compliment has made my day! :) :) :)
I avoided this a couple days because I despise the OS so much...but you did a great job here...5's ~ ~ ~
Thanks Paul! You're a sweetie for braving this OS just for me. :)
Melhi, this is just brilliant. I, for one am beyond tired of seeing the "Support Our Troops" magnets around here, so when I saw one that said "Support Strippers" in the same fashion, I snapped it up immediately!
And before I get jumped on for being a traitor, let me just say that I absolutely support the troops overseas. I just get really tired of all the people who think that slapping a magnet on their car fulfills their "Patriotic Duty." I have to wonder how many of those people have actually sent care packages abroad, or who *gulp* want to try and bring those wonderful troops home...
Anyway Melhi, fabulous job here!

Thanks AKA! I feel exactly the same way! I saw an advertisement for one, the other day, that said something along the lines of "Support the Chinese Sweatshop That Makes These Stupid Ribbon Magnets" -- I'm thinking about ordering one of those for each of our vehicles... just a matter of finding the ad again.
LOL! Send me the link if you find it!
Love it, Mel. Great rhymes and TMGLTM. One of the best ones I've seen is a ribbon sticker that says Support Our Ribbons. I'm not convinced it'll work, though - my Nice People Swallow sticker hasn't changed things much.
Thanks Spaff! Hmm... totally different results from that sticker, myself. (Hee hee!)
(SOTM), 5's. Awesome pacing, fun to sing with the original. One of your best parodies, in my opinion.
[SOTM] DKTOS, and your OS didn't work, but a clever parody anyway : )
[SOTM] Funny, Melhi. 5's
Wow, thanks Dominic L.! Thanks for the looksee & compliment, D.A.K. - if you have Real Audio and happen to make a second pass through the entries, I linked to another copy on the entry thread that worked the day I entered the SOTM. Thanks Adagio.
The idea would have been perfect twenty years ago; it's perfect today; and it'll be perfect twenty years hence. When it comes to humor, that's "forever." Good going.
(SOTM) Just stickers, Melhi. I thought SUV's came equipped with marquee signs. :D
Wow, thanks npetrikov! Thanks & LOL Scathe! (I'm sure that's next!)
[SOTM] And buy a colorful rubber band at heavy markup at Walmart!
Hey, AgriNorfee, nice to meet ya!
Mice to neet you too!
Thanks Agrimorfee! I'm waiting for the late night stupid-bracelet infomercials to begin... I can hear Sally Struthers' voice, now: "For just $1, you too can feel like you're helping a worthy cause... and what's more, by jumping on this trend, while it's hot and wearing these unattractive bracelets that cost only a fraction of a penny each to manufacture, other morons just like you will think you're some kind of hero, too! That's right, for just one measly little dollar, about the same as it costs us to pay one of our six year old sweatshop workers for an entire year, you can con the whole world into believing that you give a *bleep* and are doing something about it -- *without actually doing either one!*"
SOTM: Excellent, this one will stick in my mind all day! I can picture the video already.
(SOTM) You got any bumper stickers that will stop spam email???
(SOTM) See above
(Sorry I'm so far behind... I'm beyond crazy-busy in RL.) Thanks Jeff, Tim & Johnny D. Tim, howzabout "Down With Spam" or just "Spam" in a red circle with a line through it? I figure they're bound to work as well as any of the existing stickers & magnets are working on anything else! *ggg*
(SOTM) Although I think this is well written, it has already been done a couple of months ago. Same OS and subject matter:: http://www.amiright.com/parody/70s/tonyorlandoanddawn7.shtml. I will, in good conscience, have to dock you for that...444
(SOTM) I must have not hit "submit comment" before as I saw this the day it was posted, wrote a comment as well as voted it (maybe a bumper sticker for that, lol). Sharp satire here, Melhi.
(SOTM) After re-reading both parodies, I apologize for the 444. Although they are similar, they are both original and, in my opinion, yours is the better parody.
Yeah, but what if they are hip, then they will say "yeah, we down with spam, spam be our homey." Maybe a "We Slam Spam!" or "If you can't play nice, get off the internet!" or "You spam, we slam" or "You a spammer? go in slammer!"
(SOTM) still love this one - hey Melhi, do you think you could apply a "Give Peace A Chance" sticker next? - yeah I know it didn't work for John, but then he never applied the sticker
Thanks Rick C., Red Ant, & Stu. Tim -- you make some excellent points and I love your ideas... you know, though, if we put the spammers in the slammer, they'll probably be paid to spam us by phone, instead!
SOTM--just as good as it was the first time, Melhi...maybe better...=) I LOVE this thing...
(SOTM) It sure is a great what stickers can do these days. 5's :-D
Marvellous, Melhi - I was going to say a favourite line.. or two, then it turned into three. :-D
(SOTM) Ha! Witty stuff, Melhi, plenty of laughs throughout.
Thanks Arwen, Adam, Phil & Luke!!!
Can't believe I never commented on this one; classic stuff. Say, didn't this go to #1 on the top secret top ten list?
I don't know how I missed this one the first time around, but it's a fine sequel to John Prine's "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore." Or, as Bill Maher would say, "It's literally the least you can do."
Thanks Claude and Michael! Claude, yep!
This parody reminds me of a particularly stinging line from Phil Ochs' song, "Love Me, I'm A Liberal": "I'll send all the money you ask for/but don't ask me to come on along/and love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal." LOL funny with a serious underlying social message.
Should be a flippin' SIX for Humor. (my workmates thought I'd flipped out, I was laughing so hard. But I'm feeling MUCH better now...LOL)
Thanks MasonR & Jim, glad you enjoyed it!

(2005 SOTY) Melhi, this was a parody that desperately needed to be written. It's about time someone lampooned those idiots who plaster their cars with "Support Our Troops" magnets. (and it's the least you could do after I listened to that awful OS!)
(2005 SOTY) See above! (where have you been lately Melhi?)
Thanks Cat and Red Ant! Glad you enjoyed it! Sorry about the OS, Cat and also sorry I missed the SOTY. Red Ant -- I've been crazy-busy in RL and only getting busier now that we're knee deep into an election year. (I love election years!) If you really miss me and want to see what I've been up to, creatively (which isn't much due to my lack of free time,) you can look me up on cafepress (add /melhi to the end of the url for that site) and/or blogspot (just substitute melhi for www in that URL.) (Both are politically themed with a hard liberal tilt.) Anyway, it's good to know I'm missed -- right back atcha, there, man! :)
(SOTY 06)--see above
Excellent satire. You have done a great job of achieving balance - which, I think, is as hard for you from your perspective as it is for me from my perspective.
i think it would be funnier (and more realistic) if it were referencing all the vegan/gay rights/bush-is-satan rights activists driving their 82 honda accords.
