The Lyrics

November 10, 2004, and Yasser Arafat is still alive, though he might not be at the time this parody is up. Another thing: We have a Swedish saying that goes "there's a cow on the ice" meaning approximately "there's not much time (before this thing or situation falls through)". I'm playing with that in two lines in the fourth verse.
Old fart Yasser's almost dead
Iced on I-C-U
A terror man, his hands are red
When he's near a jew
Sent a bomber here, and a bomber there
Here a Boom, there a Boom!
Fighting for his kingdom
Old fart Yasser's almost dead
Iced on I-C-U

Old fart Yasser's in delay
Iced on I-C-U
And on the West Bank they do pray
They are feeling blue
He is on machines, there are bulletins
Tunnel lights, power fights
Spreading through his kingdom
Old fart Yasser's in delay
Iced on I-C-U

Old fart Yasser's not to well
Iced on I-C-U
And when he's gone he's gone to Hell
That is all too true
Once he faked he's nice, won the Nobel Prize
What a shame! Who's to blame
Crazy old Norwegians!
Old fart Yasser's not to well
Iced on I-C-U

Old fart Yasser's final cow
Iced on I-C-U
Kevorkian where are you now?
Paris do need you!
With aphasia, and dysplasia
Need a cause? Reaper sows!
Mourning 'round his kingdom
Old fart Yasser's final cow
Iced on I-C-U

Old fart Yasser's almost dead
Iced on I-C-U
A terror man, his hands are red
When he's near a jew
Sent a bomber here, and a bomber there
Here a Boom, there a Boom!
Blew it for his kingdom
Old fart Yasser's almost dead
Iced on I-C-U

5's from me, not sure he went to hell, and probably some people will whine about that line; but good parody

Even cockroaches die eventually. Crack the champagne and hope some sanity fills the vacuum.

Thanx Royce, John and Guy (I think. You don't mean me, do you?).

Seems that last day's posting deadline preceded Yasser's beast before-deadline with just a few hours so I'm glad I included the "though he might not be" part in the intro. The Palestinians probably deserve some area they can call their own state but as a Scandinavian I'm ashamed that the Norwegians Yasser the Nobel Peace Prize for just signing a paper. In retro that was way too premature and will forever be a stain on the moral value of all the prizes.

K1chyd - no, not at all. Just paying my 'respects' and acknowleging after the fact since, when your parody submitted, he was still among the living.

This was right on target--555. And I agree wholehartedly with your follow-up post. I have no doubts that he went directly to Hell, on an express bus (which blew up). He did not pass Go, and did not collect $200. Now let's pray--hard--that he'll be replaced by people who really do want to live in peace with Israel.

Thanx Guy and MasonR: Though I think he collected much more than $200, that woman of his seems to be a real golddigger; 1 million per month in alimony? I sense a court-soap-opera comming up! (Not to mention dinner).

I heard about Arafat's death on cnn.com on Veteran's Day. He's buried in Ramallah on the West Bank, but I'm not sure if his body would be moved to Jerusalem in the future.

WhizkidF: The Palestinians want that, the Israelis won't allow it. Seems to me that the last thing the whole region needs is yet another "prophet's grave" on the territory of one of the other sides.

Great timing. Yassar-today, all his troubles seemed so far away...
John Jenkins - November 13, 2004 - Report this comment
Very good parody. It is hard to believe he won the Nobel Prize. I think it was wishful thinking on the part of the committee, hoping he would do something peaceful in the future if he got the prize and he never did.

Jake: Had I taken one more day to finish this parody it would have been what Yasser now is: Late! :-)

John: I think you're right, and the fact that the peace agreement was reached on Norweigian soil probably helped in getting those responsible for the awarding carried away. It's our neighbouring country and I know for a fact that they were very proud of taking the "scandinavian diplomacy championship belt" away from our Swedish politicians.

Welcome to Poker In Hell. Tonight, Yasser Arafat discovers that Adolf Hitler cheats!
