More time for "Sourland"

Looks like later tonight, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will have more time to devote to their country music duo Sourland. From April 2009, here's my first parody for the duo - "All I want to do is Tax you."

Apologies to Sugarland - Jennifer and Khristian – and their fans.

I don’t want to listen baby, turn off all the phones
I don’t see those tea party people or want to turn my fax on
I’ve got ways to spend on my to-do list anyway
Hide behind this door and waste away money
Taxpayers think we’re lazy when we drive them crazy

All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you

I’ve spend my whole life winning votes to climb the ladder
Look at me, look at me, I’m the only thing that matters
Come a little closer Reid, we’ll pass bills without dissent
Hang a sign on Capitol Hill please do not disturb
Taxpayers think we’re lazy when we drive them crazy

All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you
Pass me a bill, full of that pork
I don’t want to cut this
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you
All I really want to do
All I really can do
All I really want to do is tax you, tax you, tax you

Go a lot higher baby, we can spend without remorse
Hang up on those complainers, please do not, please do not, please do not disturb
When I sit down in my office, all I really want to do
When I fly back, when I fly back to Frisco baby, all I really want to do..

For you Sugarland fans, here's the original performance

"Why don't you pay"

If it's Nancy Pelosi's Day, then time to remember a post about Sourland - her singing group with Harry Reid. With apologies to Sugarland, here's “Why don’t you pay."

I been sittin’ here staring
At the Fox News Channel
And I been layin’ here praying,
Praying to St. Joe
It’s just another tea party
They’ll get all excited
And I’ll be gone
And I’m beggin’ for support
Blue Dogs don’t you leave
But I’ll be left here sitting
Liberal heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the last time I’ll be here
Not again in a million years
And I know we’re dying

What do I have to do so you’ll stay with me
No one loves pork like me

Why don’t you pay
I’m up in my chair
I’m so tired of your whining
Can’t you give me what I need
When the IRS calls, you know
There is one thing you should do
As Speaker I want to stay
Baby you’d better pay

You keep telling me Obama
That it’s now our time
The people love you so much
And will forever be yours
But I don’t think that’s the truth
Tea Parties give me blues
And I’m tired of waiting
I’ve got too much pork I want to spend
Can’t wait for economy to mend

Why don’t you pay
I’m up in my chair
I’m so tired of your whining
Can’t you give me what I need
When the IRS calls, you know
There is one thing you should do
As Speaker I want to stay
Baby you’d better pay

I can’t take it any longer
Their will is getting stronger
And I think they want to push us out the door
We can’t waste another minute
Buy some friends to keep us in it
We’ll give them what they want
Even if it’s not best for you
So the next time we find
Mad taxpayers at door, let’s whine

Why don’t you pay
I’m up in my chair
I’m so tired of your whining
Can’t you give me what I need
When the IRS calls, you know
There is one thing you should do
As Speaker I want to stay
Baby you’d better pay

Yeah yeah oh oh oh oha oh

Here's the original to enjoy.

Nancy's song

Last night's work in the House is time to bring back Sourland's greatest hit “All I want to do is Tax you." Nancy Pelosi messed up her part of Congress, now it's Harry Reid's turn. (that's why they're Sourland).
Apologies to Sugarland - Jennifer and Kristian – and their fans.

I don’t want to listen baby, turn off all the phones
I don’t see those tea party people or want to turn my fax on

All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you

All I really can do
All I really want to do is tax you, tax you, tax you

Go a lot higher baby, we can spend without remorse

Sourland II

Sourland – Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid’s new group – was been quite distraught about the Tea Parties in April. Let’s put it in song. Here’s “Why don’t you pay” (again, apologies to Sugarland).

I been sittin’ here staring
At the Fox News Channel
And I been layin’ here praying,
Praying it ain’t true
It’s just another tea party
They’ll get all excited
And I’ll be gone

Blue Dogs don’t you leave
But I’ll be left here sitting
Liberal heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the last time I’ll be here
Not again in a million years
And I know we’re dying

What do I have to do so you’ll stay with me
No one loves pork like me

Why don’t you pay
I’m up in my chair
I’m so tired of your whining
Can’t you give me what I need

There is one thing you should do

Here's the original.

Sourland I

While on vacation, I decided to bring back the stylings of Sourland.
Rush Limbaugh uses the parodies of Paul Shanklin, but he's a guy. Where's the parodies for songs with a woman's voice?
So I created Sourland - the duo of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Here’s their first song, “All I want to do is Tax you."
Apologies to Sugarland - Jennifer and Kristian – and their fans.

I don’t want to listen baby, turn off all the phones
I don’t see those tea party people or want to turn my fax on
I’ve got ways to spend on my to-do list anyway
Hide behind this door and waste away money
Taxpayers think we’re lazy when we drive them crazy

All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you

I’ve spend my whole life winning votes to climb the ladder
Look at me, look at me, I’m the only thing that matters
Come a little closer Reid, we’ll pass bills without dissent
Hang a sign on Capitol Hill please do not disturb
Taxpayers think we’re lazy when we drive them crazy

All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you
Pass me a bill, full of that pork
I don’t want to cut this
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you
All I really want to do
All I really can do
All I really want to do is tax you, tax you, tax you

Go a lot higher baby, we can spend without remorse
Hang up on those complainers, please do not, please do not, please do not disturb
When I sit down in my office, all I really want to do
When I fly back, when I fly back to Frisco baby, all I really want to do..

Nancy ain't Settlin'

Along with trying to pass health care reform this week, Nancy Pelosi had time to write a new song for Sourland, her duo with Harry Reid. With apologies to Sugarland, here's my song parody.

A few more days to throw a bill together
Hey Mr. Right Now, the impact's forever
Don't know why they even try when they know how it ends
Going to twist enough arms so I get this win
I'm not leaving it up to fate
Here's the bill, the vote I'll take

I ain't settlin'
'til after recess
I've had enough Blue Dogs
For the rest of my life
Tired of hearing their whines
So raise the bar high
I want to get it all this time
I ain't settlin' for anything less than total control

Pick up these old ideas
And our big majority
Gonna push this thing right on through the House, you see
Maybe lose a few freshmen, that's how it is
With my mind shut closed
Yeah, I will push it through
I'm sitting in the Speaker's chair
Won't change my mind
Will destroy your world

I ain't settlin'
'til after recess
I've had enough Blue Dogs
For the rest of my life
Tired of hearing their whines
So raise the bar high
I want to get it all this time
I ain't settlin' for anything less than total control

I ain't settlin'
`Til September comes
I've had enough no-no
For the rest of my life
Keep shooting off my mouth
So Dems get in line
I ain't settlin'
No, no, no, no, no, no
So Dems gets in line with me

More from Sourland

Our band Sourland - Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid - love the energy of Sugarland. They were really inspired by this song from Jennifer and Kristian's first album. (Apologies again, guys).

Here's "Out of San Francisco and up to no good."

Wednesday, tax day, Lordy, make em’ pay
Had it with the whiners, hitting tea parties
What’s a poor Dem got to do just to have some fun?
All these years I’ve wanted to spend
Guess what, honey, earmarks don’t pass themselves
Neither does pork, neither does most liberal junk

So now if anyone asks, not that I care
I’m out of San Francisco and up to no good

No more, what a bore, George W. Bush out the door
Headin’ for a breakdown, played Obama like a clown
Gonna call Murtha, gonna call Barney Frank
Now we’re gonna let it roll, gonna let it rip
Gonna have lotsa fun on our spending trip
Not needing Blue Dogs, they won’t be stoppin’ us, right?

So now if anyone asks, not that I care
I’m out of San Francisco and up to no good

Spending up, here we go
Helping out our Astroturf
Barging on through with asses and elbows
Life’s now good for me and my peeps
Our luck’s changed and we live like kings

Snake eyes, roll the dice, double down and hit me twice
Cashin’ in the future, gonna get a big vote
Phony as a three-dollar bill, baby, I’m on fire

So now if anyone asks, not that I care
I’m out of San Francisco and up to no good
If anyone asks, not that I care
I’m out of San Francisco and up to no good

Here's the real thing.

With a little help from my friends

Pundit and Pundette feature a daily quote of the day, and today gives me the slot from Sunday's post. It's good to be friends with an up and coming blog.
And Carl enjoyed Sourland's debut. Don't know if he checked Ticketmaster to find out concert dates.

Introducing Sourland

Apologies to Sugarland - Jennifer and Khristian – and their fans.

The big news in Washington is Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are leaving Congress to form a country music duo called Sourland. Here’s their first song, “All I want to do is Tax you"

I don’t want to listen baby, turn off all the phones
I don’t see those tea party people or want to turn my fax on
I’ve got ways to spend on my to-do list anyway
Hide behind this door and waste away money
Taxpayers think we’re lazy when we drive them crazy

All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you

I’ve spend my whole life winning votes to climb the ladder
Look at me, look at me, I’m the only thing that matters
Come a little closer Reid, we’ll pass bills without dissent
Hang a sign on Capitol Hill please do not disturb
Taxpayers think we’re lazy when we drive them crazy

All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you
Pass me a bill, full of that pork

All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo
All I want do wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo woo is tax you
All I really want to do
All I really can do
All I really want to do is tax you, tax you, tax you

Go a lot higher baby, we can spend without remorse
Hang up on those complainers, please do not, please do not, please do not disturb
When I sit down in my office, all I really want to do
When I fly back, when I fly back to Frisco baby, all I really want to do..
