In c/o SBA
It's a grand ol flag,
It's a high flying flag, And for ever in, Peace may it wave It's the emblem of, The land I love, The home of, The free and the brave, And every heart beats true, To the red white and blue, Should old a-quatnes be forgot, Keep your eye, On the grand ol flag. Y-F-T-P |
Wow, Jasper. this is actually the best of yours I've seen yet. It's like, really subversive and modernist in its "found-art" pastiche style. Does SBA stand for the Small Business Administration? That's a whole 'nother level of politicization, and brings it to a very proto-punk sort of spoken-word patter and finds a common ground between early-20th-century avant-garde post-Dada and 1980s Dead Kennedys-style metapunk.

Like. I feel like I could find this on a Jello Biafra/Kurt Weill time-travel collaboration.

...Much less punk. sigh.
Your task for tonight, should you choose to accept it, JJ, is to listen to either the album Ramones or the album Leave Home by The Ramones. If bubblegum punk isn't, like, against god or bad for you or anything. Thats a good way to ease into what I'm talking about in my analysis of this. |

Good one, sexobon. |
I didn't originate it; but, it seemed apropos. This adaptation made the rounds when I was a kid at which time there was a push to prevent accidental child suffocations. I'd forgotten about it until now.

sexobon age reference noted: this is now #2 on g00gle for the first two lines of what sexobon has written. I consumed Mad magazine ravenously as a youngster and I don't recall this. But the #1 g00gle result estimates it as Mad 1966. To be old enough to remember the reference "when I was a kid" means sexobon was probably born between 1951-1958.

Hopping through the forest Scoopin' up the field mice Bop 'em on the head! Then the Good Fairy came and said: 'Little Bunny Foo Foo I don't wanna see you Scoopin' up the field mice Bop 'em on the head! I'll give you 3 chances, And if you don't behave, I will turn you into a goon!" Y-F-T-P |
