#220. Crappiness Is A Thing Called Joe

"Saf, you write a lot of parodies that seem well suited for karaoke night.  Do you ever engage the bar in song?"

The answer is no.

However, I have been known to give singing lessons.  But only for that Cher "do you believe in life after love" song.  Can I Get A Witness would attest.  It was a late night drive home from Star Lake around the year 2000.  Hey, you gotta know how to hit those high notes.

In October of 2020, just before Joe Biden terminated the Orange Prolapse, Cher released a "remake" of the song "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe."  She polished off the old lyrics and gave it a 2020 presidential twist.  The song was originally written for the 1943 musical Cabin In The Sky.

My ex-Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is one of only three U.S. Senators to formally acknowledge the existence of an undiscussable cybersecurity paradox and generational warfare dilemma, i.e., mass, indiscriminate slaughter without conventional weaponry.  

(Manchin offers a vividly generous estimation of Donald J. Trump's genitalia.)

Just for the record, the others are Roger Wicker (R-MS) and the late John McCain (R-AZ).   

As of right now, Joe Manchin's likely better known for his opposition to the filibuster.  Hmm, I guess we'll see how both of these issues play out.  I'd be willing to wager the whole filibuster conundrum will get settled first.  But you never know.  After all, didn't the entire planet just witness an "artificially generated stampede" on January 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol?  Insurrection, riot, revolt, etc.  The media just likes to label it as something different.

It seems like crappiness is just a thing called Joe
He loves to fire guns hates abortion doncha know
He loves to pray and fake the Christians don’t ask why
And they know Senator Joe makes us cry

He loves his buddy Pat Toomey, mountains everywhere
But when Joe's Senator, dope I do declare
Trouble comes your way he’s just in it for the show
Joe won’t keep us safe, he has a job to blow
Seems like crappiness is just a thing called Joe

He knows how to defend the electronic warfare
So when Joe defiles us, with the game of truth or dare
Loves to get his way a boy who isn’t grown
Joe won’t keep us safe, he has a job to blow
Seems like crappiness is just a thing called Joe

Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe
Cher

It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs want to grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a sigh
When they know President Joe’s stopping by

Right now our country is gloomy, fear is in the air
But when Joe's president, hope is everywhere
Troubles fly away and life is easy go
Joe will keep us safe, that's all we need to know
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe

Sometimes thеre seems no end to misery and dеspair
But when Joe smiles at us, compassion fills the air
Troubles fly away and life is easy flown
Joe will keep us safe, that's all we need to know
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe

I've never seen Cher in concert.  Just a bit too flamboyant for my tastes.  There's also the "decades of lingering contempt" angle.  However, Mason and I did briefly stop by PPG Paints Arena in the spring of 2019.  It was an admittedly minimal effort to score freebies.  Ran into Man-Diamond and Can I Get A Witness who were livin' it up.  They later claimed the concert was a blast.

Please do not share this information with Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), family members of the late John McCain (R-AZ), former President Donald J. Trump, President Joe Biden, and/or Cher.
