The Freedom Toast (again)

[DFW]

I haven't received my copies yet, but they did put up a few excerpts of the songs
on their website. They actually got a Sinatra sound-alike to sing "Strangers on
the Right," a Bush sound-alike to sing "I've been working on Vacation," and "Home
on the Range" and a biting anti-Iraq invasion version of "When Johnnie Comes
Marching Home" except now it's "When Johnnie Comes Rolling Home:"

The White House thinks they did the job, IRAQ, IRAQ
They never heard our Johnnie sob, IRAQ, IRAQ
They never found what they went to find
And they give no thought to those left behind
Bush will not be there when Johnnie comes rolling home

Or something like that.

Yup, Rove will not be pleased!

1. Sounds like a good listen -

could you post a link to the website? Welcome to DU :hi:

2. One toasted website, coming up!

Sorry about that! I am working overseas and four hours of sleep per night
does not make for optimal functioning at 11 PM if you have been up since 4 AM.

If there is any justice, these guys will sell five million of these CDs and
donate a good bunch of it to Democratic candidates/committees or whatever it
is you're allowed to donate to these days--that is if Cheney and Rove don't
sent them to Abu Ghraib first!

Thanks for the welcome! I am still semi-dialled-in to Washington, since my father
knew everybody and their brother back there, but we lost him a little over five
years ago, and I'm over here while time marches on.

3. I thought maybe you meant this stuff:

4. I think that's the point of the band's name...

But I'll take my french fries with french wine and french cheese, thanks!!
:P

On edit: I like their "Sing Along with Democrats" idea.....

5. Doctor has ordered me to stay away from cheese

for the rest of natural born days, which nearly ended a few years ago because I had too much
French cheese up til then (2 coronary arteries 99% blocked, got stents put in JUST in time to avoid
a major heart attack).

I'll miss it greatly, but bettre to miss cheese than the rest of my life!

I think the Sing Along With The Democrats and Sing Along With The Republicans
idea was very sneaky, as BOTH albums seem to bash the Republicans, although I'll
bet that half of the Republicans won't even notice that the Bush sound-alike is
making fun of him (such a sad state of affairs).

6. PS to FLDem

I'm not allowed to have French Toast any more, either, much less
the stuff on the Freedom Toast logo (whatever it is, it looks
very little like heath food).
