I would like your help in writing my next political satirical song! I\u2019ve been planning on doing this for a while, but wanted to wait until a little bit later in the 2012 election season. Now that the Willard Mitt has seemingly clinched the GOP nomination, I feel the time has come. <\/font><\/p>\n

The name of the tune will be \u201cRomney<\/em><\/strong>\u201d sung to the tune of the Cranberries\u2019 song \u201cZombie<\/em>\u201d. <\/font><\/p>\n

Please try your hand writing a stanza or two of our re-make! If you\u2019re not familiar with the tune, you might remember my uke cover of the original:<\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/object><\/font><\/p>\n

The lyrics are as follows:<\/p>\n

“Zombie”<\/p>\n

Another head hangs lowly,
\nChild is slowly taken.
\nAnd the violence caused such silence,
\nWho are we mistaken?<\/p>\n

But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my family.
\nIn your head, in your head they are fighting,
\nWith their tanks and their bombs,
\nAnd their bombs and their guns.
\nIn your head, in your head, they are crying…<\/p>\n

In your head, in your head,
\nZombie, zombie, zombie,
\nHey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
\nIn your head,
\nZombie, zombie, zombie?
\nHey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou…<\/p>\n

Another mother’s breakin’,
\nHeart is taking over.
\nWhen the vi’lence causes silence,
\nWe must be mistaken.<\/p>\n

It’s the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
\nIn your head, in your head they’re still fighting,
\nWith their tanks and their bombs,
\nAnd their bombs and their guns.
\nIn your head, in your head, they are dying…<\/p>\n

In your head, in your head,
\nZombie, zombie, zombie,
\nHey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
\nIn your head,
\nZombie, zombie, zombie?
\nHey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
\nOh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, please be as creative as you want, but a few things to keep in mind. The closer you can keep to the original cadence, as in matching the number of syllables in each line, the better. It is perfectly okay to deviate from the original rhymes as long the pattern remains the same, in this case, rhyming the second and fifth line of each verse. If you can incorporate some of the same words as the original, all the better.<\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll get things started with the first verse and then the chorus\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n

Another drastic changing
\nOf a position taken,
\nRomneycare inspired Obamacare but now
\nHe said he was mistaken
\n.
\n.
\n.
\n(chorus)
\nHe\u2019s one percent! One percent
\nRomney, Romney, Romney,
\nNey ney ney\u2026 What\u2019s in your head
\nYour\u2019re so white bread
\nRomney, Romney, Romney,
\nNey ney ney oh, doh, doh, doh, doh, dou<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Okay, Gang of Ten.. Err.. Six.. Maybe Five\u2026 Have at it!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
