The best parodies can be made from the worst of times, ironically. My mum found her covid parodies, especially "you're in my chair" absolutely hilarious though three of her friends died as it provide humorous relief from the stress of the time. Some of the best comedy is dark. Where covid was concerned nothing happened since the HIV/AIDS pandemic, yet believe it or not at the time of that we still came up with humour around that terrible time. Parodies/comedies can carry a message. In what I mentioned above, there was a HIV/AIDS musical comedy released, the message of it was we need to stop looking at some one to blame, instead we should mobilise and work to find either a cure, immunisation or treatment for it. It has taken over 3 decades to find PrEP, which is not an immunisation but CoViD vaccines were available a few months after the outbreak.

Pity doesn’t honor anyone. A woman who doesn’t or can’t have children is just as valid and full of potential as you, dear breeding one. Your little darlings are neither trophies or consolation prize. I think you meant well by this comment but it’s a bit patronising.

Francine Moran Hughes (later Wilson; August 17, 1947 - March 22, 2017)[1] was an American woman who, after thirteen years of domestic abuse, set fire to the bed in which her live-in ex-husband Mickey Hughes was sleeping, on March 9, 1977, in Dansville, Michigan. Mickey was killed and the house destroyed in the resulting fire. At trial, Hughes was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity in one of the first cases involving "battered-woman syndrome" as a defense.[

This is so brilliant and powerful. Thank you.
Thank you.
A fabulously funny presentation of the U.S.'s worst Presidential candidate. I'm loving your vids, thank you so much!
Glad you like them!
Just great! Wish I could share it with my Middle School students!
Thanks!
Don't do it. They'll put in stocks.
Watching this after the 2024 election. 😭😭😭 Yep, America f*cked up bad this election.
Shocking, right?
Kamala even lost the popular vote uh
@@pradhyunmudaliar6606 That's even more disheartening. I thought Americans had learned their lesson after Trump's dumpster fire 1st term presidency. I guess not... 😞
Dont forget the removal of the DOE and special education, disability benefits, disability funding, and free health care.
Frightening prospect and pity to the women who can’t have children. Life gave them a hard enough burden without adding to it by making them feel useless. Great content
Pity doesn’t honor anyone. A woman who doesn’t or can’t have children is just as valid and full of potential as you, dear breeding one. Your little darlings are neither trophies or consolation prize. I think you meant well by this comment but it’s a bit patronising.
@@sophieoshaughnessy9469Considering what would happen to these women if Project 2025 gets enacted (Goddess, I hope not!), pity would be needed because these “unwomen” who can’t have kids (and they would be seen as such by MAGA) would be punished for their “sin!”
Thanks. I have no children but need no pity. Not having them hasn't been a hard burden for me at all.
I think I didn’t express myself well enough; i have a number of girlfriends who desperately wanted children and couldn’t have them. I also have girlfriends who never wanted children. I am full of love and respect for their struggles or choices. Neither group needs someone dumping their garbage opinion about childlessness. I support those who choose and empathize with those who did not get to choose. I hope this clarifies. Sorry if i offended
@@dragondancer1814 Don't confuse Handmaid with the real world, it is still fictional thank the Gods. I have actually read both books not just watched the series. Unwomen where those who were attracted to other women.
Going by what you have said where would my mum fall? I am to her lucky number 7, yet in my family I am the one and only, only child.So she could have a kid, but she also suffered the pain of multiple miscarriages and still births first. This was at a time when the general attitude was, "Well you can try again so no need to get upset".
Share, share, share! This message needs to be shared with as many people as possible. Well done, Shirley Serban! Scary stuff!
Thank you, Sue.
I'm watching this on Nov. 7. I bet it was pretty funny until about two days ago. 😱
No, it was never meant to be funny. Now, even less so.
like dark houmor.. yea it is fucked up but atleast we can laugh at MAGA
Sarcasm is one of the best weapons against tyranny. So much truth in the video, where you don't know if you should laugh or cry. Great parody of one of my favorite numbers from the movie. I hope America will vote wisely.
Thank you. I hope so too!
Francine Moran Hughes (later Wilson; August 17, 1947 - March 22, 2017)[1] was an American woman who, after thirteen years of domestic abuse, set fire to the bed in which her live-in ex-husband Mickey Hughes was sleeping, on March 9, 1977, in Dansville, Michigan. Mickey was killed and the house destroyed in the resulting fire. At trial, Hughes was found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity in one of the first cases involving "battered-woman syndrome" as a defense.[

Oh my god another hit! Thank you Shirley! Greetings from America.
Thank you!
excellent work on this vid!
Entertaining and packs a powerful punch!
Let's hope everyone who enjoys it, is alarmed etc shares this vid and helps it go viral as is so badly needed!
Much appreciated!
Wow ! Happy HANDMAID's TALE
PLS - VOTE to get yourz HOUSE in ORDER
POWER TO THE PEOPLE
well, time to become a nun…
I'm not in america but i genuinely hope nothing to this extremity happens.
Same on both counts.
You're a true treasure....When I need a smile or some cheer you're the vessel that provides. Thank you Madam!
Thank you.
Bless you, bless you, bless you. Music opens hearts. I know that your talented efforts will have people consider the choices newly. God gave us the capacities to co-exist and thrive on this planet. But we must discern the impacts of our choices and adjust when needed. This is a time when we need to have our hearts opened and make intentional choices, to speak up for us all to thrive together. Thank you for skillfully providing the giggle-factor that opens the hearts and pivots us into taking actions in our own lives and in our communities!
Thank you very much, @shirleyjoy2!
Finally it gets to air, right here on this UA-cam channel page, after all of these decades.
Who'd have thought that it would ever see the light of day?
😆
Hi Shirley, great how you summed up all that is making up a "good wife/woman".
And how about trying The Blue Danube by Strauss. It's free music and the Catalan group La Trinca used it ages ago.
Well crap, hey people who voted for Trump? Don't say we didn't warn you, this is the America you wanted after all.
ikr? Somehow i ended up on a feed that was pro-Trump. i couldn't believe their elation ....
Wait a couple of years & see how elated you are. 🙄
I did that by accident. Thats a CULT @HelaineGaray
@@HelaineGaray I had this feeling come over me the next day, "they are already having buyer's remorse." Than a video came out explaining tariffs, that also claims "tariffs" had a spike of Google searches (I need to fact check that) and "can I change my vote.
I predict much gnashing of teeth if he imposes those tariffs
A company already laid off 1,000 workers. Might be one of the "front loading" ones who said he is stockpiling materials he will need for September 2026 production.
But trump has never been known to keep promises. Vance, Elon Musk and Bobby as Secretary of Health ~ what could go wrong?
Will Jared still be in WH brokering more Middle East biz deal?
Not me but I’m still stuck in this country.
Brilliant. I believe this is your best one yet.
Thanks so much!
Great video!
This is the better way to fight against the horriric Project 2025.
Greetings from Italy.
Thank you
Til the maga maniacs forbid dissent.
I hit Subscribe immediately on hearing that last sound - reminded me of my own childhood.
Other than that - thanks and good luck, this was really well done.
Thank you, @ZoomStranger!
I love you! ❤ this was awesome! Thank you for posting. Humor is medicine in the worst of times. ❤
Thanks so much!
Ohh..Shirley ❣You are soooo grrreat!!
Run for a President..plz !!🥰😉
Haha - that would not be a good idea!! 🤣
Why not!! 🤣🤗 World would be a better place 🎶
Lots of Love ❣keep up your grrreat sense of huuumor..🤣😉🌟👋
Wow! I am so impressed that someone who does not live in my country, the United States of America, takes such an interest on, and is knowledgeable about issues here.
Thank you. The impact is felt around the world.
We are all influenced by the USA.
Here in Canada, your political outcomes are as important as our own.
This is maybe the best thing you have ever done. I have shared it with everyone I know. Thanks.
Thanks so much!
My Dad remarried. I was so proud of my Step Mom She passed in 2018 but if it was now they would call her WOKE she said she was not born to be brood mare. Roberta I am still proud to call you my Mom..
That's awesome.
I wish this was still a parody
Thank you for your creation, it's absolute genius! I will share on my FB page!
Awesome, thank you!
laughing excellent voice over 💙💃🏻
thanks.
This is so well made and amazing and awesome and terrifying 😂 Well done job. Also everyone to keep this just a “funny song”, VOTE!! 💙 DONT BE COMPLACENT!
Thank you!
Unfortunately I can't smile anymore
Neither, about this.
Excellent parody and only the tip of the toxic iceberg of Project 2025. 😢
Thanks. I wish it were all fiction.
Nice finish there, Shirley.
Thanks!
Brilliant!!!
Thanks so much!
Excellently made, funny, yet sad that this is a reality the GQP is aiming at.
I love you spreading important news for people to know and understand in a fun way
Thank you, @JoyfulVibes384!
Thank you for this parody. There were a lot of good points made in this.
Thanks
I hit subscribe so damn fast bravo
Thank you, @Chowlife!
Nah we’re cooked😭🙏
Can’t believe “what is a tariff” and “how to take my vote back” were trending.
Scary stuff
Ah! It's not real!
I love the movie. Brilliant cover & lyrics. Thank you Shirley!
Thank you too!
Couldn't be more true! Vote vote vote Freedom Harris and Walz
So we Americans either vote for Haris or be subject to Fascist idiots!😮
@@christinelouisec6869 this is an election year.
@@hackman669never thought it’d come to this. But here we are 😿
@@hackman669 Sadly so democracy is far from perfect but is better than the alternative.
@@steviewondek Needs work like adding more requirements to be president. Example, sanity test, basic skills and mental health test, no history of bribes or organized crime, volunteer hours with the need or group outside one's comfort zone, basic level of education above high school, knowledge of government, must have experience of public service and understanding of diverse populations and world events.
Damn, this sure puts it in perspective. Thanks for shining a spotlight on these (use your own word or words). I'm going to show this to my mother right away. She doesn't need it. I just think she will appreciate it.
So glad you liked it - thank you!
I'll be checking your other videos. I'm sure they'll be just as excellent. I did show this to my mother. She was quite impressed.
Thank you for sharing this! ❤
You're welcome.
WOW!! SUPERB! I still don't know if I should laugh or get really scared... Yup, I'll panic.😅😢 Greetings from México
Don't get scared, Gloria. I truly want to believe that common sense will prevail.
Sadly, as Voltaire said, common sense is not so common. But I pray that in the end people will choose the right way
Remember Lorena Bobbitt, Francine Hughes fighting against spousal Abuse
This was Jaw Dropping Excellent. Absolute perfection. I subscribed and shared with several others. So glad I found you! 🤗
Thanks so much, Cheryl.
Remember, mid terms are around the corner. We still have a chance to block some of the damage that Peasant elect Turnip is going to do.
Turnip - I like that.
That's an insult to turnips
BLOCK DA 🍊
The sarcasm well seasons this parody. Thanks Shirley!
Thank you, @sealyoness!
The sad truth is it will come true in a bad way
Thank you for this...
You're welcome 😊
This is well done! 👏👏
Thanks so much!
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant
Thank you!
Time for my life to fall apart 😃
Let's hope not.
Nice job, dear lady. Nicely done.
Thank you!
Well done! That was funny scary though. Holding my breath for the next month.
Same!
This is the best video I've seen! It's funny but also true and scary. Well done!
Thank you!
This was brilliant
Thank you!
Brilliant! That ending... O_O
Thank you
Brilliant! 😊
Thanks! 😊
this is literally the plot of the handmaids tale
The funny thing is when she wrote it, and I have read it and the sequel, she was determined not to make it up and only to use what was happening in the world at the time and what had happened.
You're a genius - both for this song and for living in New Zealand and not here. Planning my move now.
Thank you, Samuel. My heart goes out to the sane ones caught in this mess.
The parody is less offensive than the real thing. 2 thumbs up.
Thank you, @dakcn.
