"Candle in the Wind" from Elton to Hillary

[Buzz Clik]

Goodbye, Hillary Diane
Though I never knew her at all
She has the grace to hold herself
While all her staffers crawled
They crawled like roaches out of the woodwork
And they whispered into her brain
They set her on the treadmill
And they made her change her name

And it seems to me she lives life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing which ideology to cling to
When the primaries set in
And I would have liked to have known her
But I was just a kid
Her chances for nomination flickered out long before
The legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role she ever played
The White House made her a superstar
And pain was the price she paid
'Specially when Bill lied
Oh the press still hounds her
All the papers had to say
Was that Hillary stood behind her dude

Goodbye Hillary Diane
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our First Lady

-- inspired by Sir Elton John

1. What a talentless hack, to say the least

And only shit scraped out of the sewer would mock the death of Princess Diana

Definitely add this to your resume.

[greguganus]

2. That song was written for Norma Jean, not Princess Di.

Get a grip Hillbot.

5. We Used To Change The Lyrics Of Songs To Goof On Our Friends When We Were In The Ninth Grade

And stoned.

[Buzz Clik]

14. It's an Elton John tradition. He's done it time and again. Why not for Hillary?

Certainly, Hillary inspired Maya Angelou to reheat "Rise" -- was she just goofing on her friend?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Ha

I can google a song, copy and paste it, change a few lyrics, insert somebody's name...But that doesn't put my "work" on par with Ms. Angelou or Mr. John...

[Buzz Clik]

25. Please do! I enjoy a parody. Most people do ... once the stick is removed.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. Parody Is One Thing

Parody is one thing, copying and pasting a song and changing a lyric here and there is not (good) parody ,cylindrical objects and orifices nothwithstanding...

[rodeodance]

22. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO IT WITH HIS PERMISSION--YOU ARE SICK

[Buzz Clik]

23. You might edit your title.

Sorry that I've "goofed" on two of you idols. Perhaps if you found a new hobby.

[snooper2]

33. how old are you?

really, I am curious...do you actually have a job or work or anything?

[Arugula Latte]

38. Funniest post of the day! Thanks, rodeodance!

:rofl:

[alphafemale]

28. Norma Jean....Ryan White...Diana...next?

Yeah...this is his favorite recyclable.

[JackORoses]

35. but why, oh why has age not brought you wisdom?

That is the question.

[sniffa]

20. That's a way over the line description of Hillary

Take your bullshit elsewhere!

[Divernan]

47. Elton John mocks the death of Princess Di when he supports HRC

Elton John got lots of free press and sympathy over his very public mourning at the death of Diana.

Princess Diana put a lot of time and effort into raising public awareness of the maiming and killing of civilians by cluster bombs - as most people know, these tens of thousands of "bomblets" are dropped over miles wide swaths of land containing homes and small farms of third world people. The Israelis pulled this in Lebanon, just a few days before the ceasefire went into effect. The predictable result is hundreds of civilian men, women and children have been killed since then, and thousands maimed and mutilated.

Clinton voted against the banning of these vicious weapons. She's made lots of excuses for her vote giving Bush the go-ahead to declare war on Iraq. What can HRC possibly say to justify approving these weapons? What can her supporters say? What can Elton John say?

3. If You're A Day Over Twelve Years Olds Your Mom And Dad Must Be Really Disappointed

I never thought I would get to use that line at DU.

Ha!

[Marrah_G]

4. IBTL

Pathetic and childish

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. It Was Puerile

[greguganus]

7. We don't need no stinkin' locks! n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. Doesn't Require A Lock

Maybe some kid who is skipping junior high will read this thread and find it entertaining....

To call it sophmoric would be giving undue praise...

[Buzz Clik]

12. but you can't seem to leave it alone.

"Puerile" seems to be your thing.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I Apololgize If My Comments In Post Three Stung As Badly As It Seems

~

[Buzz Clik]

17. Not at all. I simply find it fascinating that you so despise this thread...

... your posts are half the responses.

It pleases me to displease you. Always at your service.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. "Despise"

I just find it ironic that an otherwise intelligent person would google some lyrics, copy and paste them, make some limited changes , and think it's clever...

Now, if you changed the lyrics and performed it on youtube I would be impressed...

[Buzz Clik]

27. Really? You're in luck.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

9. Yes, yes he is. n/t

[SeaLyons]

8. What a fine example of an Obama Supporter...

posting meaningless shit.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. It's Not Funny

How much talent does it take to copy and paste a song and change a lyric here and there?

[JimGinPA]

13. Nice Picture Of Mark Penn Though nt

[Buzz Clik]

16. Sir Elton never looked better on keyboards.

He's lost weight, do you think?

[Maddy McCall]

21. You need to stick to internet flame wars...

because your songwriting abilities are crap.

[Buzz Clik]

29. I'll consider the objectivity and civility of the source.

You won't be disappointed if I don't cry myself to sleep, right?

[rodeodance]

24. YOUR SUBJECT LINE IS A LIE AND YOU 'song' is disrespectful of both

hillary, elton and norma jean king. take it down before your look more
foolish than you already do.


"Candle in the Wind" from Elton to Hillary

[Buzz Clik]

31. Settle down, rodeodance. You're so exicited that your grammar has fallen apart.

And norma jean king? Please. Breathe into a sack or something before your head explodes.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

32. norma jean king? nt

[Buzz Clik]

34. Yeah. I think his neurons have fused, and he's spitting out melded heroes.

What would a Norma Jean King be like? A gorgeous blonde with a great forehand? A tennis player whose dress keeps "accidentally" getting tossed up by random blasts of air?

:shrug:

[rodeodance]

43. so i made a mistake , that does not mean you can insult me!!

[Buzz Clik]

44. Dude, I insult you when you don't make mistakes.

Get some rest.

[walldude]

30. Wow judging from the response I'd say it's a good thing you

didn't do "The Bitch Is Back". Funny how a performer with such a misogynist song would be cheered by the Hillary people.

[JackORoses]

36. damn funny!

[Arugula Latte]

37. Bwaaaaa!

Funny, funny, funny! :rofl:

:applause:

[berni_mccoy]

39. BRILLIANT!

[Catherine Vincent]

40. Don't leave your day job.

Or night job.

[Buzz Clik]

41. Thank you! I'm a song writer by day, and a singer at night.

You'll come see me, right?

[peoli]

42. funny stuff

[Buzz Clik]

45. I'm honored, horseface.

[greguganus]

46. GENIUS!! PURE GENIUS! Weird Al has nothin' on you! LOL (nt)

[Buzz Clik]

49. That's an interesting thought. Sung with accordion playing background.

As a polka?

[mythyc]

48. K&R, very funny

notice how every satire enrages the Hillary acolytes... :shrug:

[meow mix]

50. haha good one K&R

:rofl:
