The Lyrics
Let the fireworks begin.
Bush and Kerry
Bush and Kerry
Going at it like they're Tom and Jerry
How you voting, brother?
Not FOR one but against the
Other
Bush and Kerry
Bush and Kerry
Nader's Curly to their Moe and Larry
Pick your favorite stooge, you'll
Get - nyuk nyuk - politics as
Uge-ual
Try - try - try to keep a straight face
Through this decision
Try - try - try but you will still elect
A politician
John and Georgie
John and Georgie
Either guarantees a spending orgy
Pass severe inflation
On to the next
On to the next
Yeah screw the next admini-
stra-a-a-tion
Try - try - try to draw distinctions
It's ineffec-tual
Try - try - try to pin them down on war
Or homosek-shuls
Bush or Kerry?
Bush or Kerry?
I'd prefer amoebic dysentery
Right and Left mean diddley
When both sides slide
(When both sides bite)
With both sides fighting for the
Mi-i-i-ddley
Bush and Kerry
Going at it like they're Tom and Jerry
How you voting, brother?
Not FOR one but against the
Other
Bush and Kerry
Bush and Kerry
Nader's Curly to their Moe and Larry
Pick your favorite stooge, you'll
Get - nyuk nyuk - politics as

Well done!! Your rhymes are great - stooge, you'll / uge-ual? I love it! Now I'd better go finish my Kerry parody...or get to work...
Great job. Yes, nowadays elections are about voting for the lesser of two evils.
Good parody! Cute, and entertaining.
Great one as uge-ual from the Master & his monkees. Loved the amoebic dysentary line!
One more prehensile thumb up.
Outstanding parody. I think that the presidential choice is clear and there is not (yet) any "severe inflation;" but, unfortunately, there is a lot of truth in this parody. If I had written it, I wouldn't have let the monkeys take credit for it.
555, great parody, and this election day, I plan to protest America's present electoral system by making sure I am registered to vote, by carefully studying the candidates' positions on the issues and associated party-platforms, and then casting my well-informed vote for either George Bush or John Kerry.
Excellent- "Not FOR one but against the Other" may need to be spoken quickly to fit the meter, but I agree 100% with the sentiment..
This is great political parody. It speaks so well of how things look at this point in time. Well done, sir or madam monkey.
Heh heh. Nice epithet, Guy. Thank you & Ravyn & Patagio & Brandybuck & Grace & Philbo.
Steve: Or the lesser of two weevils.
Johnny Deet: I don't think the electoral system needs protesting, but it sounds like you're handling your demonstration perfectly.
Johnkins: I love my simian buddies. Plus, if I don't keep them appeased, they may fling poop at me.

Bush & Kerry, the lesser of two evils? More like Bush & Cheney, the evil of two lessers. Perhaps you should sue the Bush Administration. After all, they've been acting like a room full of monkeys without your permission. Which is odd, because they don't even believe in evolution.
Maybe we should let the monkeys pick the prez; we all know who's gonna be flingin' the poop. Sir Monkey outdoes himself again. Very funny and so true.
Oh, very nice, Mr. Monkey, sir.
Thanx, Michaelopedia & C4P & Looney 2nz!
I mustve missed this one! 555!
Thanx, Jackie!
Why settle for the evil of two lessers? Chtulu for president!
Spaff, just saw this - link from your site. Anyway, I just admire the fact that you can take a tune and follow through to make it work. Some decide to take a song and parody it - and it shows. (I refuse to do that because it shows - I can't do it.) Like improv, you demonstrate the ability to take any song and write to it. If your grass isn't better, your talent is. (I'm just waiting for the opportunity to point out where you missed a line, pal.) My real reason for brown-nosing here is the copyright at the bottom of this parody on your site. 'Splain to me man. (You've got my e-mail address if you don't want to take up space here - btw, I have nothing new to report.) Later, bob
Peter: I searched on "chtulu" and Google said "Did you mean: cthulhu"? So I suppose I'd better ask you the same question.
RJP: Thanx, man. A copyright line is kinda like a car alarm. Not only is it pretentious and often annoying, it's unnecessary, too; with or without one, the stuff is still yours. And someone who wants to steal from you badly enough is not going to let a little thing like THAT get in the way. (As you've discovered.) But the hope is that it's enough to discourage the undecided would-be thief. So I use one. I used to put "© [year] Spaff.com" (with a link to spaff.com) on everything, but that got old, so now I change it up but keep the link.
Or did I totally misunderstand your question?

I thought the monkeys was Claude Prez, now it´s suddenly Spaff, and furthermore I suddenly remember ignoring some kind of hint that it was Johnny D (because I thought it was Claude).
Can someone explain the deal with the monkeys to me?

A Room Full Of Monkeys was just me at first. Spaff added a couple, we started adding collaberations we did on the messageboard, and now there's no telling who it is unless they fess up, which is just the way it should be.
Thanx! Now I don´t have to go bananas over that question no more.
Peter chyd: From the site you cited:
"Cthulhu is a monstrous entity who lies dead but dreaming in the city of R'lyeh, a place of non-Euclidean madness presently (and mercifully) sunken below the depths of the Pacific Ocean....a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopuslike head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind."
That being the case, I could never run against Cthulhu. No one would be able to tell us apart.
As for who the Monkeys are, don't let C4P get away with his characteristic humility. 90% of the stuff in the Room is his, including a tremendous amount of really great shit.

You´ll have to settle for Secretary of S.. Great then.
BTW: A question for anyone who reads this. My familiarity with this song comes from the TV Show "Love and Marriage" (With Al Bundy & Co), which have 4, let´s call it "pharagrafs", whereas this parody and some others have 6. I´ve located some pages with the lyrics to the original but they to seems to list 4. I have an idea that will probably spreed for more than 4 so can I assume that the original has 6?
Oh, hey there, Peter. Did you ever get your question (from 2 1/2 years ago) answered?
Well, this is interesting. I just recently did a parody of this same song called "Tom and Jerry" where I said THEY went at it like Bush and Kerry - WITHOUT knowledge of the lyrics in your parody! Man, if I had known that, I would've linked to this one from mine!
I guess irony can be pretty ironic, eh? 555!
