"American Pie" parody (with text for a positive ending, by me!)

Not about Cuda in this version, but see my reworking of the final verse and chorus.

The New American Pie ... The Day The Freedom Died

YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION:

ThePatriot601 — March 13, 2009 — Walton and Johnson introduced Joe Roy's version of American Pie on their show March 11th 2009 and I couldn't help but share. Listen to the lyrics and the wonderful talent of Mandeville, Louisiana's Joe Roy.

Thanks to others online and on youtube who posted pictures and flag clips for the background. This was thrown together in 20 minutes of editing and encoding so not the best but the song is what counts here. Enjoy.



And my special, positive final verse (still being tweeked):


But arose a girl who killed the moose
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
But real hope was indeed in store
In the same one who'd run some years before
For she inferred there would sometime be a day
And then that day her critics screamed
The Leftists cried, and elitists dreamed
But no disagreement was spoken
The opposition had been broken
And the four men on Mount Rushmore's crest
Washington, Lincoln, and the rest
They had one join them in a dress
The day our Cuda won.


CHORUS:

And we were singing, "Bye-bye, Anti-Americanism, bye
Used our ballots not our bullets
And our victory was nigh.
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that it dies
This'll be the day that it dies"


OR, a more MILITANT chorus, if it comes to that:

And we were singing, "Bye-bye, Anti-Americans, bye
Took our bullets with our ballots
And our victory was nigh.
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that they die
This'll be the day that they die"


[And yes, I know the faces on Rushmore might not be on the actual "crest," but work with me here!]
