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

Thank you both kindly...I'm glad to have found the site! (I'm sure you know how it is when you have subversive lyrics in your head with no outlet...)

It's a good site, in the main. There really are a lot of bright and funny (and odd) folks kicking about. Very pleased to have you amongst us.

Blatham, I do have a question... I tried to post a new topic and was "told" that I didn't have the authority - only veteran posters do. Is there a way to suggest new topics?

One that might be fun is "suggested new product marketing strategies." Coca Cola recently declared that their target market was best defined by "people who are currently drinking water." An Imodium commercial on TV last night got me to thinking about how one expands one's market in this area... Is spreading dysentary allowable? Should one partner with a maker of fat-laden foods?

I work in a communications department, and recall one incident where I had to contact a marketing manager at Kimberly-Clark. Unfortunately, I had the wrong contact, as I remember him saying forcefully. "How many times do I have to tell your company that I don't handle those products? I'm the Maxi-Pad Man - that's all I do."

Food for thought.

To the tune of the theme from Avenue Q

the sun is shining, it's a lovely day
a perfect morning for a mosque today
but soldiers are still on their way
what do ya do?
ya work real hard and we steal your oil
and every day is a day of toil
and at the end of the day you're starting to boil
you love iraq, yes you do
you're an iraqi it's true
you're friends are too
USA hates you
'cause your an iraqi it's true
we stole your oil yes it's true
you want us out of here too!

To the tune of Jingle Bells

Dashing through Iraq
In a ten man battle tank
O'er the des'rts we go
Laughing all the way

Running over people
Shooting others dead
We kill so many "terrorists"
That there is no one left!

Jingle bells, Bin Laden smells,
There's no more Hussein!

Oh what fun, it is to ride
Into someone elses land!

Excellent, we'll save it for the Christmas show.

Thank you, Doobie Brothers.

Well, we're here in Iraq and we're ready for nothin'
Ol 'Halliburton, she's callin' my name
Soldiers are jumpin'
Them Uzis are pumpin'
Blackwater keeps rollin' on past just the same

Old Blackwater, keep on rollin'
Halliburton moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old Blackwater, keep on rollin'
Halliburton moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old Blackwater, keep on rollin'
Halliburton moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, noncombatant
Gonna make everything all right
And I always got worries
'cause Bush ain't in no hurry to go

Well, if we move to Iran,
Don't make no difference to me
Just ride the wave that's bound for Iran
Yeah, I'd like to get out this year if we can
And come back to my home
And I'll be buyin ev'rybody drinks all 'roun'

Old Blackwater, keep on rollin'
Halliburton moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old Blackwater, keep on rollin'
Halliburton moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Old Blackwater, keep on rollin'
Halliburton moon, won't you keep on shinin' on me
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light
Gonna make everything, noncombatant
Gonna make everything all right
And I always got worries
'cause Bush ain't in no hurry to go

Yeah, I'd like to get out this year if we can
Hey there Dubya, come and take me to Iran
By the hand, take me by the hand little Dubya
Come and get us out before it's too late
I want to get out, get out, get out
some time this decade

see? that didn't take very long.

my idea was just to post the star spangled banner, completely unedited. seeing as it's our country now anyway, and lets face it- has been for years.

we-are-the-america.
resistance-is-futile.
your-uniqueness-will-be-added-to-our-own.

tick

god save our gracious queen
long live our noble queen
god save our queen
send her victorious
happy and glorious
long too reign over us
GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN!!!!

now thats a national anthem to be prod off.
