Back when I was a kid, during the Jimmy Carter administration, there was a parody of the Oscar Meyer bologna jingle that poked fun at the president. I recall it went something like this:
My president has a first name, it’s J-I-M-M-Y.
My president has a second name, it’s C-A-R-T-E-R.
I hate to see him every day,
And if you ask me why I’ll say,
Jimmy Carter has a way of messing up the U-S-A.
I thought it was time to pull that old chestnut out, wipe the dust off, and introduce it to a new generation:
My president has a first name, it’s B-A-R-A-C-K.
My president has a second name, it’s O-B-A-M-A.
I hate seeing him every day,
And if you ask me why I’ll say,
Barack Obama has a way of effing up the U-S-A.
I much prefer the use of “effing” vs “messing” … your mileage may vary. :)
Note: The names with six letters (Carter & Barack) don’t quite fit the original jingle tempo, so they have to be read / sung slightly differently to squeeze them in. I’ve put together an a cappella (without accompaniment) version that I’m attaching to this post. In addition to a cappella, it is also in the style of senza talento musicale (without musical talent, according to Google Translate). Both wma & mp3 versions are available for your listening ‘pleasure’ (and I use that term very loosely). If you can’t see the attachments and want to (and really, you shouldn’t want to) click on the title above the article. The files are available there.
