Sing to "Gallows Pole" by Led Zeppelin!

Pollman, Pollman, push poll a little while,
Think I see some Richies coming, Riding many a mile.
Friends, did you get some tax cuts? Did you buy a little gold?
What can I give you, my dear friends, To boost me in the Gallup Poll?
What can I give you to boost me in the Gallup Poll?

I thank you for the tax cut, I made a kill in gold,
But I need Mexican labor if you want a boost in your Gallup Poll.

Pollman, Pollman, push poll a little while,
I think I see the fundies coming, riding many a mile.
Brother, did you like that Schiavo?
We won't let those homos ball!
Can I get a Hallelujah, my brother, to stop me from a Gallup fall?

Brother, I liked that Shiavo,
But the gays didn't even stall; you seem to say most anything
To keep you from the Gallup fall.
Yes, you'll pander to just about anyone to keep you from a Gallup fall.

Pollman, Pollman, please push-poll awhile,
I think I see the freepers coming, riding many a mile, mile, mile.
Freepers, I implore you, take the fundies by the hand,
Tell them that I hate the queers, and the lib'rals takin' over this land,
Please take them, save me from the wrath of Gallup, man.

Pollman, Pollman, upon your face a smile,
Pray tell me that I've gained a point,
And I won't have to face a war trial.

Oh, yes, you are a fine pollster, but I'm still down in the hole,
Soon I'll be looking UP at Nixon when I see the next Gallup Poll,
Fundies brought me red states, Freepers sold their soul,
But now I cry and fall so hard, as I'm swinging on the Gallup Poll

Swingin' on the Gallup Poll!

Who's up for recording this!?

1. LOL! A fan post!

Whoa! Thanks! Is it uncool for me to rec this? Who's the guy that recorded the Koo-koo-koo Choo parody? He'd be ideal for this!

Zeppelin stole it, so I say turn about is fair play;)

Very funny!

5. Most of their best stuff was lifted from the great black blues men

of the South.

I'm a HUGH Zep fan! After hearing all the great blues that "inspired" many of my favorite Zep tunes, I'm an even bigger blues fan than I was before;)

6. My son used his own money to buy me the complete boxed set

Christmas before last. I was floored...cost him something like $70. Incredibly cool gift. Of course, by Christmas afternoon he had the entire set ripped onto his Mac, so he obviously had ulterior motives, but still, it was a very cool gift! :)

7. Great story!

Cool son you raised there!

;)

8. Damn, Atman- Wish I could've had a dad like you.

No, I shouldn't slam on my old man, but he wouldn't walk across the street to see Led Zep.
