The Lyrics
What causes those who have it made to engage in ruinous behavior? Is this the Greecian concept of hubris followed by ate (pronounced ah-tay)? Is character ultimate fate? If a parodist falls in an empty forest, does he make a sound? Anyway...lines 3 and 5 in each verse of the original are examples of melisma (multiple notes on a single syllable). Here I give each note its own syllable. The last words of each verse are also melismatic, so I break each into its syllables. ;D
D.S.K. gets off scot free, he will get another chance.
He will sue because now he - won't be President of France.
Knave! Men who don't behave - should be in a cave - even in the grave, O.K.?
Conduct unbecoming!
Fool! Flouting ev'ry rule. What you do's not cool. Are you still in school today?
Justice might be forth-com-ing.
Guvanator Ahnold stud - drove his movie mavens wild.
Now his name is worse than mud - he fathered his maid's love child.
Schmuck! Now you're out of luck. What a hockey puck! Now you're in the muck neck deep.
You deceived the nation.
Strife! You messed up your life - cheating on your wife. She should get a knife, you creep -
For some e-mas-cu-la-tion.
Ant'ny Weiner, mean and loud - made some most disturbing news.
Of his member he was proud, so he sent out scenic views.
Ton'! Don't show us your bone. Leave us all alone! Now as you bemoan your fate,
We just cringe and wonder.
Perv! You have lots of nerve! As you duck and swerve - what of those you serve of late?
"Cockiness" - a big blun-der.
Christmas In July demonstrates unusual balance in this parody. I take to task a Republican, a Democrat...and a Frenchman! ;D

As if there was much of a difference among the three.
This would better to a parody of "Devils We Have Heard on High." ;-D Great job OMR! 5's! :-)
Why did you leave out the original "gloria" chorus/refrain, from the original song OMR?
JIN - The Gloria (lines 3 and 5 of each verse) gave me a chance to do some rapid fire patter than just a single sound over and over. ;D
A trio of deserving bashees...well done
Well done OMR-555!!!
Mmm, this one is just about OK; reasonable; average; moderate; not bad.
You've been a bit too chirpy of late, so I thought I'd counterbalance all of that by being a misery guts! You still get 5's though, even though it could have been better. ;)

All - Thanks. Head - Never feel compelled to score something I do less than perfect (or score it at all). A 3 or 4 from a (consistent) hardcase offers no offense whatsoever. ;D
Head - I MEANT never feel compelled to score it too high, but you know what I meant. ;D
