The "Write A New Iraqi National Anthem" contest!!!

Lovely edit!

Sending sexual favors post haste so as to attain a better standing with the leader.

As I am unable to write well along with the spelling, vocabulary in general, and reading assimilation problems; I am proposing to submit additional and advanced sexual favors in exchange for a position on The Board of Editors at Waggery, where I will as a dutiful dimwit, vote as I am told.

Notable quotables thus far

gataum...everything he writes is quotable, and half of it would get him thrown in jail in several countries.

Letty...for complimenting me

cav...for his latest entry...so far, the leading contribution

A little warm-up


We are Iraqis if you pleeiz
We are Iraqis if you don't pleeiz,
We are former torturees of Sadam,
There are no madder cats than we am.

Hmm... a National anthem has to be short, de mode, restrained and tasteful; so Elton John will be perfect!

(To the tune of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
We should have stayed in New Jersey,
We should have listened to Apkaklam.

You know you can't hold us forever
I didn't sign up with you;
We're not oil you can sell to build palaces
We're too young to be Baath through and through;

Gus solo:

So goodbye Saddam Hussein
With the soldiers, you're havin' a howl
You can't put us in your gulags,
We're going to England right now;

No more antics beneath Basra's grey skies
Hunting shi'ites in the rain;
O, we can't deny our future lies
Beyond ol' Saddam Hussein.

McG and Gus sing the following in duet form:

So goodbye Saddam Hussein
With your long beard and sanit'ry towel;
You can't put us in your gulags,
We're going to England right now:

No more the antics in Basra's green wood
Hunting shi'ites in the rain;
O, we can't deny our future lies
Beyond ol' Saddam HussEI, Ei, Ei,

Ein, ein, Ein, Ein, Ein,
Ein, ein, ein, ein, ein,
Ein, ein, eeeeiiiii, ein

*On the last dwong, one hundred shots are fired at the same time; most of which hit an unravelled portrait of Dick Cheney*

If that's not good enough, Hey Jude usually works...

LOL!

Yay, Jjorge; I've been wondering where you've been. I'm glad you liked it, although it's a little.. random.

A new rendition of "Home on the Range"

Oh give us a home
With freedom to roam
Where the children don't have guns as they play
Where never is heard, a disgruntled bad word
And the skies are not filled with bombs spray

Home, home in Iraq
Where we lived under Saddam in great fear
Send Americans home
And leave us alone
We'll survive it all, year after year

Lovely!!!

Hi drom!

I've been spending every waking moment landscaping my new yard.
A lot of this stuff is 'time sensitive' so evrything else is taking a back seat right now. I check A2k threads for a few minutes every day or so though.

It's nice to be missed.

I think I have to do a pep talk here.

Let me, in the spirit of the subject, light up a hookah and consider the matter.

Note: Interim government and American Occupation Temporary Anthem
(words and music by Paul Bremer)

Ain't no Sadaam
there ain't no Uday
just a Joe and Bill and Fred
it is a new day
and there's
some girls
I bet you'd like to meet
on the Sunni side of the street

It's gonna be shakey
for a little bit
lift to the sky
fall down to the ****
but hell
You're standin
on your own two feet
on the Sunni side of the street

Come saturday night
go find some ladies
hotwire a barge
float down the Eurphates
I recommend
after shave
it's a fine deceit
for the Sunni side of the street

Before you know it
we'll all be gone
there'll be no sign of us
like there's been nothin going on
just that statue
of the President sayin
"Mission Is Complete"
there on the Sunni side of the street

the waggery management is requesting further contributions.

Some of us are kinda played out. Hmm, do you think the Iraqis would accept a harmonica solo instead?

Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use an elaborate ruse
There's a tower in far L.A.
Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away

Come fly with me, let's float down to Kabul
In Islam's land, there's a one man band
And he'll raze your country for you
Come fly with me, we'll float down dead in the blue

Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, glassy eyed
Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near
You may hear Allah cheer - because they're in for stormy weather

Weather wise it's not much a lovely day
Bush says the words, and he'll beat the Kurds
Down to acapulco bay
It's perfect, for a bombing honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away

(Sung to the tune of "How to get to Sesame Street")
Sunni Day, everything's
Not o.k.
Kurds hold sway
And Shi'ites add their heat

It's another busy day
Just a day on Iraqi Street

Democrats, all of them
Just like that
Diplomats
Will have a mighty feat

Just to get them all to live
All to live in Iraqi Street

Build the towers, and repair
All the wires
Quench the fires
And then Iraq's elite

Might return and live again
In a house on Iraqi Street
In a house on Iraqi Street
In a house on Iraqi Street…

And yet another ditty...to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" this time...

Yankee Doodle left this town
A-riding in a Humvee
And now we're left
With just the mess
No water, lights or mo-ney

Yankee Doodle
Came to town
To find some secret weapons
Found S. Hussein hid in a hole…
But couldn't get a confession

Yankee Doodle scratched his head
And said "they're really buried…
But don't you fuss
The war was just
Cause Usay was so scary"

Yankee Doodle wants our oil
But not this nation-making
End of June, the giving's done
And then it's time for taking

Yankee Doodle's getting riled
Iran's got nukes a-going
A just crusade!
Must freedom aid!
(And keep the crude a-flowing…)

Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle Dandy
Mind the intell and the spies
And with your guns be handy

Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Stick em with your feather
Boys and bombers are the way
To make the world much better!

Nice work, boomom! Welcome! :-D

Welcome boomom...your delicious submissions will be forwarded to the committee.
