Here's a little modern take on a popular older historical song. I wrote this for a political column that I do. It took a lot of hard work and time to get the rhyme scheme, syllable scheme, etc. all the same as in the original. However, instead of people and events from the 50's, 60's, and 70's, I used the 90's and 00's. Hope you enjoy!

Sorry, I can't even rate this neutrally.

I don't see the purpose.

-2 for parodying a crappy song
+2 because of the effort involved

+1 for the effort.

If you could have done it in chronological order like The Master did, it would have been a +2.

+2 cos it's pretty good
-1 cos it's a pretty easy song to parody - you don't actually have to say anything about those things, just name them.
