Sarah Palin vs. The Flobots

OK, it's honestly just a coincidence that the FuMP ended up with two Sarah Palin songs in a row. We're not that obsessed with John McCain's Hail-Mary-pass-in-a-parka. Well, no more obsessed than anyone else is. Which, come to think of it, is a lot. A lot obsessed.

Anyway.

This parody of the Flobots' current hit "Handlebars" features lead vocals by actor, singer, and bona fide hottie Mercy Malick, who also portrays Sarah Palin in her series of Bibleside Chats.

Thanks to Bob Emmet of Project Sisyphus for recruiting and recording her, and to lyricist Spaff, the McCampaign operative who made sure everything she said was carefully scripted.

This song is now available on the following CDs:

Slightly more chilling than the original. O_o Frickin brilliant, though.

The instumentation sounds exactly like the original! I've been describing to my friends how I was thinking Handlebars was one of the best songs of the year, so it is awesome to hear a parody of it, great work guys.

Here's a conclusion to that previous comment, my lap-top keyboard was copping out on me: You guys did a great job on this song and I agree with Balder, it is slightly more creepy then "Handlebars". Looks like halloween has come early and it's in the form of the Republican Vice-Presidential (maybe soon to be come just plain old Presidential...shudder, shudder) nominee.

I'd feel a bit better playing this on my show then I would with Goodie's "Nailin Sarah Palin". Great lyrics, Spaff. If songs were measured in acreage your popularity would probably succeed the total area of Alaska (And We're talkin' area here, not population). Two sea lions up!

Mercy and I had a blast working on this! Spaff the Deadline Poet somehow wrote this in 48 hours (amazing what you can do with coffee, Mars bars, No-Doz, Ritalin and meth). Mercy sent me a link to her parody Sarah Palin video earlier that week and I knew we had found the Voice of our new media darling. It's like I always say: you can put lipstick on a pig, and hey that might be pretty cool.

One minor point of fact. Sarah Palin was not named "Miss Wasilla 1984." It was the Wasilla Public Library who named her "Miss 1984."

Now how about a song about Obama's equal lack of experience?

gpherder: Obama had more experience than Palin when he was a newly-fertilized zygote. http://morequalifiedthansarahpalin.appjet.net/

Trying to claim Obama has an equal lack of experience as Palin may be the most laughably stupid thing I've heard today. Obama was actually a member of the senete, and spent ten years as a constitutional lawyer before that. Palin was mayor of a city of 9000 (which, by the way, she managed to take a surplus of money and turn it into 24 million dollars of *debt*), and then governer of a state that had no income tax and was able to *pay* people to be citizens (which, by the way, she *also* managed to run into debt). GPherder, this isn't really the place to talk too much in the way of politics, but you want actual information? Listen to Rantin' and Ravin' on DementiaRadio.org and I'll make sure you get some.

Belated thanks for all of your comments! I suck at responding, but that doesn't mean I don't love each and every one of you.

Balder: That "Miss 1984" thing is awesome. Wish I had thought of it and worked it in.

Bob Sisyphus: Lest anyone think you are serious, let me just state for the record that I do NOT partake of all of those substances. Mars bars are too hard to come by.
