Cardinals Mull Obama Papacy

My God, how did we miss this setup line...

Cardinals Mull Obama Papacy​

 

[Ringel05]

Pope hell!! Deification.........

Obama Superstar:

Croud
Obama Heybama Bama, Bama Ho
Bama Hey Bama Ho Bama
You're the new J C, J C won't you smile at me?
Bama Ho Bama Hey Superstar

Boehner
Tell the rabble to be quiet
We anticipate a riot
This common crowd
Is much too loud
Tell the mob who sing your song
That they are fools and they are wrong
They are a curse
They should disperse

Crowd
Obama Heybama Bama, Bama Ho
Bama Hey Bama Ho Bama
You're the new J C, J C I want everything free
Bama Ho Bama Hey Superstar

Obama
Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd?
Nothing can be done to stop the rhetoric
If ev'ry tongue was still the noise would still continue
The rocks and stones themselves would start to sing:

Crowd, with Obama
Obama Heybama Bama, Bama Ho
Bama Hey Bama Ho Bama
Hey J C, J C won't you pay for me?
Bama Ho Bama Hey Superstar.

Damn, that's good work (one thing I like better than political debate is a good song parody, and I"m well familiar with the original).

Is it your work? Or is it ... a parody of a parody?

I came up with it when Senator Obama was running against McCain and I was being bombarded by Hope and Change adherents who had no idea that was actually all Obama was saying during the campaign. I wonder when the one you posted was done...... maybe I can sue....... Not long after he was elected I rewrote Herod's Song:


Obama, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face.
You've been getting quite a name all around the place.
Healing economies, raising taxes on the dead.
And now I understand you're God,
At least, that's what you've said.
So, you are the Christ, you're the new Jesus Christ.
Prove to me that you're divine; change my water into wine.
That's all you need do, then I'll know it's all true.
Come on, King of the Blues.
Obama, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here.
You are all we talk about, you're the wonder of the year.
Oh what a pity if it's all a lie.
Still, I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you tried.
So, you are the Christ, you're the new Jesus Christ.
Prove to me that you're no fool; walk across my swimming pool.
If you do that for me, I'll be a new devotee.
Come on, King of the Blues.
I only ask what I'd ask any superstar.
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are.
I am waiting, yes I'm a captive fan.
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man.
So, if you are the Christ, yes the new Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread.
You can do it on your head.
Or has something gone wrong. Obama, why do you take so long?
Oh come on, King of the Blues.
Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ?
Mr. Wonderful Christ?
You're a joke. You're not the Lord.
You are nothing but a fraud.
Take him away.
He's got nothing to say!
Get out you King of the,
Get out King of the,
Oh get out you King of the Blues!
Get out of here!
Get out of here you,
Get out of my life.

Initially both were a commentary on those the right call Obamabots (I call acolytes) but it appears more and more that Obama is buying into his own press.

Does Pogo have a day job?

Good jest. Of course, there's never been & never will be a pope from the New World. Wouldn't do to give the upstarts & quasi-heathens ideas. Theology, yes; ideas, no.

Unless the N. American Catholics wise up & demand representation in the College of Cardinals proportionate to their income to the Vatican. THAT would make a New World Pope a dead cinch in a generation or two - but the Curia, of course, just to spite the US, would make sure it was a S. American cardinal who took the mitre.

But after that, who knows? It would all be up for grabs. Think of it as Benny Bingo. "Under the I ..."

Well, as a prolific parodist myself, I applaud your work. I might have evolved it a bit more but perhaps I have a heavy hand. In any case you were thinking along the same lines as Bob Rivers.
We could have fun with this in the future.

?? ... I mean it is the weekend...

Thanks, I'm here all weak. Remember your waitress...

(My bold)

TMK, the Nobel Committee - in Sweden (?) - hands out all the Nobel prizes. Thus the treks to Stockholm ...
