I need musician help...
what would be involved in recording a parody of the Beck song Loser with new lyrics?

loser

In the time of chimpanzees Bush was a monkey,
butane in Rove's veins to run with the junkie
with the plastic eyeballs, we force feed the vegetables,
dog food eating grannies shoplifting tylenol,
kill the brain cells and put it in neutral,
iraq is flaming with a loser in the cruise control,
Rummy's in Reno with the Condi Rice,
gambling our diplomacy, asleep on the highway,
someone came sayin' I'm insane to complain about
a looted treasury and a stain on my country,
don't believe everything that you breathe,
you get a lung full of mercury and the maggot sucking meat,
you spite your face with some nose in the dark,
saving all your food stamps won't protect the mark,

yo, cut it
Está un perdedor, Bush is a loser so why not impeach him,
recall tyranny, facism
Está un perdedor, he's a loser and they're trying to kill me,

forces of evil on a bozo nightmare,
ban all dissent with a phony echo chamber
cause one is a weasel and others sport a flag,
one's on the dole, shout the truth is a fag hag,
with his rerun wars that Mr. cocaine nose job,
his devious bullshit of the deficit flip flop,
a GI hung himself with a guitar string,
a slab of cannon fodder, he's hangin' so he doesn't sing,
I can't write if ya' can't relate,
trade the cash for a gay bash for the body for the hate,
and this time it's a piece of crack, we've fallen for the bad times,
we're chokin' on the nightmares

Está un perdedor, America is losing, so why don't you wake up
pour out the kool-aid,
Está un perdedor, It's a losing proposition,
pour out the kool-aid
yo bring it on down

Está

(em llik uoy t'nod yhw os ybab resol a m'I, rodedrep nu yoS)

we can win this one
things are gonna' change I can feel it

Está un perdedor, America is losing, so why don't you wake up
pour out the kool-aid,
Está un perdedor, It's a loser and we have to change it
Está un perdedor, It's a loser and we have to change it
Sprechen sie deutsch, baby
Está un perdedor, It's a loser and if we don't change it
there'll be nothing to be sayin'

1. Easiest way-- find a karaoke version of the song
Either on CD or an MP3. That's probably the easiest way to do the production part.

If you can't find it, I know that there used to be devices for sale that would remove most of the vocal track from a song. I haven't seen one around in a while, but my wife's old stereo used to have that functionality built into it.

2. How do you find a karaoke version? Also it seems like a pretty simple
guitar piece. Would that be easy to replicate?

4. the guitar piece would be easy to replicate yes
in fact, you probably wouldnt even need a slide. parodies often sound better when they are not completely true to the original cut.

3. if you go into your control panel under sounds
sometimes your soundcard has a karaoke option.

you could also just do the guitar piece once and loop it. i think its actually a looped guitar piece to begin with.
