Only an artist instinctively knows the difference between “Playing Music” and “Being the Music”. You are the music and I offer the profound silence of the concert hall when listeners know they have just received the gift of an artist’s touch to the soul. Thank you.
Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and the late John Bonham would agree with this one. Brilliant, as per usual: the Parody Project deserves far greater coverage than a UA-cam channel.
You guys are doing a great service to our nation. As far as I'm concerned you are the true patriots who try to spread the absolute truth through the art of music you are holding accountable those who have done such harm to the way the world sees us and to millions of lives who got caught up by your politicians greed. You deserve all the success coming your way. Much love and respect. Keep up the excellent work. If I were a social media user this would be well worth sharing. Btw stairway to heaven is probably the best track ever conceived
Oops. almost totally ignored this. As a Native American (Susquahannock/Cherokee), I try to keep up with Native issues. It's travesty what this country has done and is still doing to Native people, working and poor people of all races. Thank you so much for your songs! :):)
I too am also AMERICAN as well: Mainly (Cherokee Indian but also GERMAN/RUSSIAN as well) and I am so damn sick and tired of the "RACIST DUMBASS'S" in the "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and around the planet today! Whatever happened to the "OLD AMERICAN RULE" and I quote: (GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR, and notice it said "POOR", YOUR NEEDY, YOUR OPPRESSED, LOOKING FOR FREEDOM, and a few others that I forget off-hand, by the people for the people to the people. Rather it be a he or a she, rich or poor, AFRICAN, FRENCH, CHINESE, MEXICAN, INDIAN, CANADIAN, GERMAN, RUSSIAN, JAPANESE, ARABIAN and so on and on. SKIN COLOR be BLACK, RED, TAN, WHITE, or YELLOW doesn't make a difference whatsoever. Is it just me or is "FREEDOM", "LOVE", "PEACE", "EQUALITY",and the "PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS" just as "PARODY SONGS" are in this Country: a "JOKE", a "LAUGHING MATTER", or as the old saying goes a "THING OF THE PAST"? KEITH MR HILLBILLY🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
@@keithknott1710 I too am of mixed heritage. I've been confused (not sure if that's quite the word) by it most of my life. Although I want to be proud of all aspects of my ancestry (they're all my family, after all). I'm troubled by the atrocities my European ancestors perpetuated on my Native American ancestors. Have you ever felt this way? I've also long wondered what exactly convinced the white man they were superior over all other races. They came from foreign lands to these shores but felt somehow entitled to claim superiority/power over the ones who were already here !! ?? And superior to others who came here from distant shores (many who had no choice in the matter). How the hell did they decide having a pale face made you better than those who are darker?
This is so depressing. And unfortunately - all true. US actions actually killed more civilians in the first two months in Afghanistan than all the 9/11 hijackers put together. The civilian death toll in Iraq was enormous. The song isn't exaggerating. Cheney didn't divest of Halliburton....
J Woolman Here is a very good source of military casualty statistics for both _Operation Iraqi Freedom_ and _Operation Enduring Freedom/Afghanistan_ . These are the two wars that George W Bush started. icasualties.org US military deaths in Iraq: 4530 _2003 - 2018_ US military deaths in Afghanistan: 2408 _2001 - 2018_ Total: 6938 US military deaths. More than double the number of people that died in 9/11. The website also gives a complete list of each US serviceman and woman that died, with their name, rank, age, unit, etc.
But, but.... they're all terrorists, hiding under the bed, everywhere. Just like every rebel in Central America and Viet Nam, Cambodia..... was a communist. Our foreign policies have been terrorism since we bombed Japan.
So...I got home after a late shift at work...saw the notification...you had been at it again....I could not wait to see it...I loved it.... thought...my wife would love this one...so I woke her up...and made her watch it...she wasn't impressed with me...she was impressed by the song though ...
This is pure platinum! I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you went for it.....all the way and bridges too. You have yet to disappoint, and if you keep them coming like this you never will. It takes a serious pair to go for the classic ballads on this level, and I applaud you Sir. That old lady’s obscure CD is growing in value at a dead run...I wonder what the Antiques Roadshow appraiser will say as he gazes reverently at the little CD and asks breathlessly, “Do you have anymore>” 🖤🇨🇦
Are these all the same guy? This is superimposed. Love the work. Amazingly talented guy. Better than great. But for them to tour, they'd first have to replicate! Fantastic summation of our world. So sad how true the words are, yet people will continue to deny the truths. Peace and love to EVERYONE. Seek truth. Spread wisdom.
Genius!!! Can you hear me applauding? So sadly true. America cannot stand to mind it's own business, which might be what brought 9-11 to our shores, I can't say for sure. I suggest sending a boxed set of DVD's of your genius to the three branches and to the Liar In Chief. (Well that COULD earn you a visit from the Secret Service.) In the meantime, I will keep on sharing, even if my postings are not acknowledged. I have changed them from friends to public, if it does any good. What happened on our own shores is despicable too. The war declared on anyone who is NOT wealthy and WASP is taking us backward by decades. Alabama in the 1960's and prior. Reservations kept poor and sickly and unemployed and persecuted. Don't stop believin'!!!
Susan do you realize that you are not watching a quartet! It is only ONE person- and a brilliant one at that, but not a quartet. Look closely. Great fun made even greater by some super mixing and editing.
I have always loved the zipper song - take a well-known melody and pop in some new words. You have raised this art form to a sublime pinnacle! Taking classics from the 60's that we all know and love, and using them as the vehicle for very sharply pointed political comment (and history lessons!) If only this one could be sent viral. I will do my part and share it on FB.
I switched somethings, like this, to Public. I don't think my friends pay attention to anything I post, good, bad or indifferent. The old, "I'm not political".
You always speak the truth! The Iraqi people knew it was only about the oil and our military are protecting poppy fields. I only wish more people would realize what's going on. And thank you for mentioning Standing Rock. Main stream media almost totally
It didn't make me wonder... It made me sob! This ( & many more of your work) is genius in its delivery! Perfect vehicle for this particular message. You did it again...well done!
Wow, thank you. I had tried to keep up with the news until recently when I just couldn't watch the news anymore. It was ACTUALLY messing with my emotional state.I know many others who have had the same problem. I couldn't stand local news and how it is exploited and I just couldn't stand a constant feed of Pres. Trump and feel helpless to change it anymore and keep wondering why nobody in power was calling out the behavior of anyone else. I never knew what channel's to watch, who was telling the truth. I shamefully would rely on sources like SNL and Colbert to get a taste of what was going on. You have given me a point of research...if I can find sources that are not owned by larger companies that insist on a slant, left or right. I don't care who is wrong or right. I just want the truth. I hope you guys read the comments you get. :)
Ilamatangent, love your name btw! I only watch MSNBC & specifically The Rachel Maddow Show, although All In with Chris Hayes has added some comic relief to his nightly segments! Also, because I am deaf in one ear & can't hear out of the other, it's Closed Captioning for me! The spelling errors on that mess are also a hilarious contrast! Hope that helps! Peace!
You can also check out rachel maddow on msnbc . I think she is good and she reads you all the documents from the court cases of trumps criminal empire of cronies .... also you can check out randy rainbow , he also does parodies . . His are more funny if you need a release from all this like I do and colbert , snl and seth meyers are great they put a spin on it that looks at the humor so you can laugh instead of cry . And they even notice more things than the news net works .... it seems our comedies satire are better at the news than the news guys ..also john oliver its last week with john oliver ..he is on u tube too ..he explains things that are happening not like news but like debt collecters , police immigration etc . And it's only about 20 minutes long . It's the truth but he too puts comedy in it so you can understand it . Crazy I learned a lot from him
I never watch FOX. I watch Colbert, Oliver, TYT, Rachael , Chris Hayes, MSNBC, CNN, SKYnews(Australia) [in other words the one #45 calls FAKE News & I get a pretty good idea of what the truth really is.(when 8 broadcasters say the same thing, you believe the majority & not a guy known as TFucker who just gives his opinion.) I understand that none of the others except for CNN & MSNBC& SKYNews are news networks and the others are giving their opinions too. But when you really look at it and use your brain, you know one side is lying.
This song carries a more profound voice now that we have withdrawn from Afghanistan leaving friends behind along with one half of the population, females, subject to virtual slavery.
I'd love to hear you do a parody of the Internationale and Deportees, the latter by Woody Guthrie. Right as I type, I am crying in solidarity with those who have lost due to the governments' control of immigration.
Well Robert today I was at a town hall meeting with Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois and I asked her to give Donald Trump a message from me. I said " Senator Duckworth I want you to tell that Orange Impostor that if he thinks that deporting some or all of the DACA people is going to provide more security for the country, inform him that it will do JUST THE OPPOSITE. Some of these people have training and skill in things like computer science, electrical and mechanical technology, nuclear science, chemistry, and the like. Some have extensive military training. He may send them back to Mexico,Haiti, or whatever non-white nation he deems as a shit hole but they DON'T have to STAY there. These people are like free agents in the sport world. They can go to any country that appreciates their skills and talents and not necessarily nations that have our best interests in mind. Now he will allow a bunch of people with animus or justifiable hatred for America to live in any place in the world, friend of foe, that has a use for them, including Iraq, Iran, Russia, China, North Korea etc.. Of course his answer will be that he will keep the highly trained people but send back only the uneducated. To which you can tell him that many of these families sacrificed their other children so one or two could afford college. Ask him if he thinks these "keepers" will just stand by and watch their brothers and sisters who stayed back to help in the family business or home be deported while he and his family gets to stay? If they are " taking our jobs"- there is a simple answer. Don't hire them. But I doubt seriously if recent college graduates are sending resumes to KFC to wash dishes or United Fruit Co. to pick grapes. As for drugs, just quit using the shit. If there is NO DEMAND , there is NO SUPPLY. And further you can tell those 1%ers and the spineless Republicans who back them that if they think this country is just made for them alone, they can learn to pour their own coffee, make their own breakfasts, mow their own lawns, fix their own plumbing, haul their own garbage, teach their own kids, police their own streets, put out their own fires, and fight their own wars. She laughed when I called Trump the Orange Impostor, thanked me for my comments and said she would make sure he got the message. Any everyone there applauded me, some even coming up afterward and thanking me for what I said. So there is hope, if not now, there is in November. Keep the faith and VOTE..
Bill Grandone, brilliantly spoken & you nailed each & every issue on the head! I do hope you know how very fortunate you are to live in a state with REAL representatives in Congress! And I can hear Sen. Duckworth LOL at the Orange Imoster! Altho I also enjoy her own nickname for our 'dear leader', "Cadet Bone Spurs"! Magic! I live in the bloody red state of SD that is SO heavily gerrymandered but, because we are 'fly over country' nobody gives a damn. The only good news I've learned this week is our absolutely & utterly worthless Congressional Representative {yeah, we have just the one!}, is vacating to run for governor! Rep. Kristi Noem couldn't handle the job of dog catcher! Blessed Be!
Well thank you Msggie, I appreciate your kind words. Yes we do have two good people in Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin but the state government and legislature is a mess. Our governor is no prince either, He is what i call "Trump-lite" anti union, anti education, former hedge fund manager , an occupation that is basically thieves with briefcases and bankruptcy forms.
Bill Grandone, yes indeed, many people forget the 'yuge' impact that our local & state 'officials' have on our everyday lives! I am particularly screwed here because my little brother is now a Circuit Court Judge, appointed by the same Governor who has all be dismantled the CHIP program! Ironically this guy went to high school with my late big brother & that same dead brother has an almost 1 year old granddaughter born with a rare genetic disorder that if not treated now, WILL become brain cancer in the coming years! Grrrrr.... One person I keep warning people to watch out for is our dear senator John Thune. He is rising up the ranks of the GOP quickly & quietly & he also is, "Sold to the highest bidder". Fortunately I DO happen to know 'where the bodies' are buried on these...people? Love your description of Hedge Fund Managers! I'm certain they got their BS @ tRump U! Peace!
8 months later, with a few hundred people walking a thousand miles to try for a better life, T is sending 15,000 troops w instructions to shoot if someone throws a rock. And it is fricking US policies and interference, er, i mean 'intervention' that doomed so much of Central America. They'll be here around Thanksgiving, they say. I'd love it if ppl pushed past ICE & greeted them with food, water, hugs.
I find it difficult to figure how a bunch of old guys in fright wigs can come off as really SEXY, but the Parody Project pulls it off in spades! With clever parodic lyrics, exquisite and haunting harmonies, with brio and panache, these excllent musicians have won over this old folkie forever. There are some new skinny faces peopling my daydreams these days. Keep on singing, gentlemen. 🎼🎸🎶
Love you guys. Are you going to take a short R&R to gear up for the 2021 campaigns to fill seats of Congress made vacate by Presidential appointments. And then the 2022 for entire House and one-third of Senate. Last night EVERY REPUBLICAN voted No to the $1400 relief check. The total $2000 that Drumpf promoted.
Thanks Don. Probably my favorite right now. So sharp and true. Had to check the original version of the song, didn't listen to a lot of music in English in my youth.
The tension between such beautiful music and such horrible reality creates a knock-out punch, much moreso than do most parodies which go for the laugh.
Brilliant! An education, I’ll share widely. Keep going, the madness is due to end in 2023 when Neptune moves out of Pisces..says the Pisces from Scotland 🐠😀
P.S I have also become a fan of a guy called 'Randy Rainbow' who delivers news in an intelligent and funny manner, and usually parodies songs, like you. If you don't know him; I'd ask you to check him out.
Remember the old days, Gene Autry singing ' I Paid My Income Tax Today" the power of music, the crew of Andrew Higgins, the wisdom of Vasili Arkhipov, Would write a song if I could .....
As part of our oral traditions and the Folk Process, this deserves at least another 3 years of further verses to update it & even annual if not semi-annual epilogue additions.
I went to the Cleveland Clinic here in Ohio just a couple of weeks ago. They were unable to do the surgery. I have had one surgery, but two more tumors, that are too deep. As for the first tumor, they could only cut away part of it, because it also goes very deep. The Cleveland Clinic is also very top rated. By the way, thank you for your comment, it is very kind.
Great song every 55 -65 year old man remembers a girl resting her head on his cheek shoulder chest and dancing to this song thinking God for led Zeppelin. .new worlds. new meaning but remember God will not be mocked. and only God can read your heart. so they can lie right up to to the judgement seat. and the lies will end. GREAT SONG made better thank God for the Parodies project
“We are the terror at our core...” made me sad for the entire day😢
Only an artist instinctively knows the difference between “Playing Music” and “Being the Music”. You are the music and I offer the profound silence of the concert hall when listeners know they have just received the gift of an artist’s touch to the soul. Thank you.
Thank you Mary, that means a lot.
Well said!!
🤯 Fkn AMAZING
Truly amazing! Like Mary said!
I am with you, Mary. These singers are on top of it all. I am always looking forward to hearing more songs. Thank you kindly.
Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and the late John Bonham would agree with this one. Brilliant, as per usual: the Parody Project deserves far greater coverage than a UA-cam channel.
J Steel I'd agree enthusiastically!
I am so grateful to hear this music again especially with time relevant lyrics.
Noble gesture. "We have met the enemy and he is us."
Pogo was right all along.
I guess Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream new tv shows online?
@Brecken Enrique i use flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Lucas Alexzander Definitely, have been watching on Instaflixxer for since april myself :)
So sad.
Thank you for another brilliant piece on a very disturbing subject.

And further you can tell those 1%ers and the spineless Republicans who back them that if they think this country is just made for them alone, they can learn to pour their own coffee, make their own breakfasts, mow their own lawns, fix their own plumbing, haul their own garbage, teach their own kids, police their own streets, put out their own fires, and fight their own wars.
She laughed when I called Trump the Orange Impostor, thanked me for my comments and said she would make sure he got the message. Any everyone there applauded me, some even coming up afterward and thanking me for what I said. So there is hope, if not now, there is in November. Keep the faith and VOTE..
Bill Grandone, brilliantly spoken & you nailed each & every issue on the head! I do hope you know how very fortunate you are to live in a state with REAL representatives in Congress! And I can hear Sen. Duckworth LOL at the Orange Imoster! Altho I also enjoy her own nickname for our 'dear leader', "Cadet Bone Spurs"!
Magic!
I live in the bloody red state of SD that is SO heavily gerrymandered but, because we are 'fly over country' nobody gives a damn. The only good news I've learned this week is our absolutely & utterly worthless Congressional Representative {yeah, we have just the one!}, is vacating to run for governor!
Rep. Kristi Noem couldn't handle the job of dog catcher! Blessed Be!
Well thank you Msggie, I appreciate your kind words. Yes we do have two good people in Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin but the state government and legislature is a mess. Our governor is no prince either, He is what i call "Trump-lite" anti union, anti education, former hedge fund manager , an occupation that is basically thieves with briefcases and bankruptcy forms.
Bill Grandone, yes indeed, many people forget the 'yuge' impact that our local & state 'officials' have on our everyday lives! I am particularly screwed here because my little brother is now a Circuit Court Judge, appointed by the same Governor who has all be dismantled the CHIP program!
Ironically this guy went to high school with my late big brother & that same dead brother has an almost 1 year old granddaughter born with a rare genetic disorder that if not treated now, WILL become brain cancer in the coming years! Grrrrr....
One person I keep warning people to watch out for is our dear senator John Thune. He is rising up the ranks of the GOP quickly & quietly & he also is, "Sold to the highest bidder". Fortunately I DO happen to know 'where the bodies' are buried on these...people?
Love your description of Hedge Fund Managers! I'm certain they got their BS @ tRump U!
Peace!
8 months later, with a few hundred people walking a thousand miles to try for a better life, T is sending 15,000 troops w instructions to shoot if someone throws a rock. And it is fricking US policies and interference, er, i mean 'intervention' that doomed so much of Central America. They'll be here around Thanksgiving, they say. I'd love it if ppl pushed past ICE & greeted them with food, water, hugs.
Loved it. Thank you.
Ups you did it again. Gracias a lot
Two words guys....NAILED IT.
Fabulous!🌻🌸🌺
More appropriate title should have been "Lying Their Way into Hell", but I still love it anyway! Keep them coming Parody Project!
I listen to all of your tunes. This has been my choice for best overall. Thus far.
Great job!
Heaven help us.
I find it difficult to figure how a bunch of old guys in fright wigs can come off as really SEXY, but the Parody Project pulls it off in spades! With clever parodic lyrics, exquisite and haunting harmonies, with brio and panache, these excllent musicians have won over this old folkie forever. There are some new skinny faces peopling my daydreams these days. Keep on singing, gentlemen. 🎼🎸🎶
Great comment! I quoted you this morning when I had coffee with some other old guys.
Awesome. Spot on!
Another incredible send-up. Funiculi Funicula is musically excellent as well as writing superb parodies.
😍😍
Telling it like it is....
You guys are the best! I love you guys so much!!!! Amazing musicians as well. I play guitar and would love to jam with you guys!
Every word is truth. This is among your greatest productions guys. Thanks Don!!!!
Love you guys. Are you going to take a short R&R to gear up for the 2021 campaigns to fill seats of Congress made vacate by Presidential appointments. And then the 2022 for entire House and one-third of Senate. Last night EVERY REPUBLICAN voted No to the $1400 relief check. The total $2000 that Drumpf promoted.
Keep up the great work!!!!!!!
You guys are amazing. Putting all those truths into lyrics, just brilliant!
'And we built up their opium production" YESSS! Genius!
Nothing like music 🎶 🎵 to get out the word WAKE UP AMERICA 🇺🇸 🙃 🙄 🙌 🙏
VOTE DEMOCRATIC BLUE 💙 IN 2022🙏🇺🇲
Thanks Don. Probably my favorite right now. So sharp and true. Had to check the original version of the song, didn't listen to a lot of music in English in my youth.
WOW after watching a few of these , I subscribed , amazing , Thank you ...
Excellent summary and expose. Genius at work here.
Once again the Parady Project is beautifully and is fully right on.
Again, beautiful. Parody Project has made my last 48hrs!!:)
The tension between such beautiful music and such horrible reality creates a knock-out punch, much moreso than do most parodies which go for the laugh.
absolutely brilliant - this speaks truth to power - thank you for this
Brilliant! An education, I’ll share widely. Keep going, the madness is due to end in 2023 when Neptune moves out of Pisces..says the Pisces from Scotland 🐠😀
You guys are just BRILLIANT
Oops! I think I may have forgotten to like the last few songs. Too excited to hear the next one! 🥰😎
Brilliant!
One of my àll time favourite song I want. It played at my funeral but not that version boys lol very clever version 👍👍🇮🇪🌏💚💛 Derek from Dublin
You guys are amazing! Make very important issues&facts across to life while talking us to music and all the crazy ass shit!
Cool GOD Bless one and all . Keep on keeping on truth matters.
Looks like Rocky Mountain Mike has some competition!
Hmm. They're lying their way into somewhere but I highly doubt it's heaven.
epic.....love you guys!
I hope some smart history teachers are using Parody Project in their curriculum.
P.S I have also become a fan of a guy called 'Randy Rainbow' who delivers news in an intelligent and funny manner, and usually parodies songs, like you. If you don't know him; I'd ask you to check him out.
Randy Rainbow is the King of Parody! I'm a huge fan.
Randy is so awesome!
Agree. He's amazing.
@@ParodyProject I wonder if he’d be open to a collaboration with you and Freedom Toast?
Mind. Blown. Awesome!
Remember the old days, Gene Autry singing ' I Paid My Income Tax Today"
the power of music, the crew of Andrew Higgins, the wisdom of Vasili Arkhipov,
Would write a song if I could .....
brilliant as always. Woody might write this planet is my planet, this planet is your planet, from here right around to right here....
Mr. Songwriter, you walk in the steps of the great Woody Guthrie.
This group never disappoint us. They are real patriots
Don, you would make Robert Plant proud! Nice Deal!
wow do enjoy them so much cant wait for another one
Wow That says it all!
As part of our oral traditions and the Folk Process, this deserves at least another 3 years of further verses to update it & even annual if not semi-annual epilogue additions.
I wish the POTUS listened to this. :)
Marlene M , he wouldn't understand bc there's no dollar value to the trump brand in it!
I LOVE the origial song...thanks for bringing back that fond memory while dealing with morons in high places
He is friends with dictators, and wants to be one. But the truth is he is actually a pricktator.
I went to the Cleveland Clinic here in Ohio just a couple of weeks ago. They were unable to do the surgery. I have had one surgery, but two more tumors, that are too deep. As for the first tumor, they could only cut away part of it, because it also goes very deep. The Cleveland Clinic is also very top rated. By the way, thank you for your comment, it is very kind.
Thank you, I do stay positive, my family is wonderful, and support me so much, I thank God for them.
THIS IS PURE GOLD .
The 'sad' part here (if any) is that it will have no effect whatever regarding the status quo.
It's all about stimulating dialogue.
like the hammer to the nail. the point hithome. again, well done.
There lying there way into enriching themselves at your expense. But heaven No there not going there.
Great song every 55 -65 year old man remembers a girl resting her head on his cheek shoulder chest and dancing to this song thinking God for led Zeppelin. .new worlds. new meaning but remember God will not be mocked. and only God can read your heart. so they can lie right up to to the judgement seat. and the lies will end. GREAT SONG made better thank God for the Parodies project
Beautifully and painfully right on
Now that was fabulous!
Well, sure, it sounds bad if you put it like *that.* 😉😎
