Title
Here I Am with President Romney (2012 Version)
In 2007, Mitt Romney was Jon Huntsman: a Mormon long shot for the Republican Presidential nomination. Despite the impossible odds, we, a couple of Utah Mormons, did a song celebrating Mitt's ascension all the way to the White House - and what that would mean for a freshly Mormon America.
It didn't work out for any of us that go-around, but, like our Brother Romney, we decided to give it another shot in 2012.
So here's our re-parody of Allan Sherman's "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh," itself a parody of Ponchielli's "Dance of the Hours."
If any of the references are lost on you, let us know and we'll send over the missionaries.

Brilliant, of course. :D If you, er, need any defense of this version, you have my alternative lyrics. And my axe.

"......crackers and water, or as Mitt Romney calls them, "ethnic food". ~ Stephen Colbert, from a recent "Colbert Report". This is superb, Robert and Spaff. You have painted a bleak picture here, but lucky for us November is not here yet, and there could be a chance that Obama will be our President for a second term. I shall spin this on "Shillelagh Safari with CelticED" soon.
