Here we go again -- Parody help wanted

[Midnight Marauder]

Air force One buzzes New York, this cries out for a parody song. I chose "Jet Airliner" by the Steve Miller band, and here is the first draft of the new lyrics. Please read and add better stuff if you can. These lyrics are from the pilot's perspective:

Flyin' low, over WTC
No damn idea what I'm doin
Ridin along in this big ol jet plane I been
thinkin bout whats wrong
These idiots think it's a good idea
to buzz the folks with air force one
I coulda tole 'em it's a bad idea
But ya know they'd fire me if I did

big ol jet airliner
Ya know they're getting carried away-ay
Woa-oh big ol jet airliner
Got no words for what to say

Photo op for the folks at home
Cuz Obama is trusted
But I'm tellin ya this just ain't the way
I hope to hell its not me that gets busted
Cuz my son could do this on photoshop
Instead of usin a real seven-four-seven
Ridin high I got tears in my eyes
You know the folks goin thru hell
as I fly thru the heavens

big ol jet airliner
Ya know they're getting carried away-ay
Woa-oh big ol jet airliner
Got no words for what to say

Panic scramble in New York Town
They think this plane's comin down
nine-eleven's still fresh in their minds
Ya know their heads just keep on spinnin around
And I did this with some hesitiation
Cuz any idiot should surely see
That you don't just fly around New York with that
Superliner buzzin the city

big ol jet airliner
Ya know they're getting carried away-ay
Woa-oh big ol jet airliner
Got no words for what to say

Watchin this later on CNN
They're tryin not to look disappointed
They do their best to cheer for Obama
But crap like this just makes it tougher
If they'd just be honest with themselves
They'd say what's really on their minds
In-stead-they-try-to-blow-it-off-andmakefunof
People askin what the hell were you thinking

big ol jet airliner
Ya know they're getting carried away-ay
Woa-oh big ol jet airliner
Got no words for what to say

Oh, oh big ol jet airliner
Ya know they're getting carried away-ay
Woa-oa big ol jet airliner
Got no words for what to say
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

big ol jet airliner
Ya know they're getting carried away-ay
Woa-oh big ol jet airliner
Got no words for what to say

Oh, oh big ol jet airliner
Carry Obama back home
Oh, oh big ol jet airliner
Cause the white house ain't where he belongs

They should be afraid.... Very afraid. Don't you think the panic was pretty much an indictment of Obama's policy on the "overseas contingency?" These were after all, HIS people, the latte sipping uber-libs in Manhattan don't feel too safe do they?

And they really shouldn't.

Don't you think the panic was pretty much an indictment of Obama's policy on the "overseas contingency?"

I think the panic was more of an indictment of a plane flying over Manhattan.

I don't think anyone was thinking about anyone's "overseas contingency".

No, they were thinking "here we go again" even though Washington tells them they're "safer" now.

Here's the song! Yes, it's horrible. I never claimed to be a singer.

LOL thanks! I tried to put myself in the pilot's shoes, you just know this is what he was thinking.

To the tune 'My country 'tis of thee' (or should I say 'God Save the Queen')

Statue of Liberty
Got buzzed just yesterday
By Air Foce One
How much this Photo Op?
$500k a pop?
Cheaper to use Photoshop...
(but much less fun).

I went back to square one and remastered this, and sang hopefully better vocals.
