The Lyrics
May 23, 2011, a day of disaster for Joplin, Missouri...
The Joplin tornado
half-mile wide
See what 198 mph winds can do
Objects be flyin’
Hundreds of people dyin’
Struck by the spinning bandit
People hidin’ underground
Their homes abandoned
Couldn’t withstand it, leveled the town
The Joplin tornado
half-mile wide
Folks terrified…
They feared you
They feared you
They feared you
They feared you, were wise
Most sought shelter
Some survived
But many others all died
Another tragedy
The Joplin tornado
half-mile wide
(2011 disaster insanity)
half-mile wide
See what 198 mph winds can do
Objects be flyin’
Hundreds of people dyin’
Struck by the spinning bandit
People hidin’ underground
Their homes abandoned
Couldn’t withstand it, leveled the town
The Joplin tornado
half-mile wide
Folks terrified…
They feared you
They feared you
They feared you
They feared you, were wise
Most sought shelter
Some survived
But many others all died
Another tragedy
The Joplin tornado
half-mile wide
(2011 disaster insanity)

This parody sweeps me off my feet, and blows me away! ;-D Excellent Job Rob! 5's! :-)
Blows me away how devastatin' the tornado was!!! 555
So sad. The body count keeps rising as they uncover bodies :(
My mommy, Mother Nature, she can be an unstoppable force at times. Usually bad ones. :-(
What ARE you going on about NC??? Take a look around A-hole, many of these parody writers write about current events. SO, is making fun of Arnold's adultery funny by comparison??? Use your freakin' brain, moron.
So it make's me an a******? You are also a no class idiot. Shows hows heartless people like you are. I know what a Parody is and am known for writing hundreds of them but will not agree with his choice as it is a classless move... a Parody song should be known as a comedic version for a song..yes could be current events but should be to humour a bad situation there is nothing funny about what happened there nor events like 9/11 and should not be used in a mockery of a way that was in this garbage of a parody.
Besides most people didn't have time to seek shelter nor many of the houses are old small flat level houses with no basements
No people was hiding underground as was their homes abandoned, their homes was destroyed and their belongings was more than 10 miles away in some circumstances.
So yes if it makes me an a****** cause I know the situation personally and have been there to help find survivors deceased and animals and personally know people who died and kids that got hurt from this so be it..I can be a BIGGER a******
