Definitely listen - an excellent Elton parody...

On edit: also check out "Dirty Deeds", and an old classic that amazingly enough is still good the second time around: "George Bush Told Lies"

Enron

(Parody of Levon by Elton John)


Enron was a wiz bang on the Dow
Almost as big as Jesus
They had a catchy name
And they put it on
The baseball park downtown

Enron
Enron took my money
We lost it all they say
With questionable accounting
And gutted my 401K

I became a pauper and a pawn
In a couple o’ days
When the New York Times
Said the stock is dead
Now the trial’s begun
They’ll be taking the 5th like Kenneth Lay

I got hosed by Enron
They took the dough and then they ran
I got scammed by Enron
They’ll take the 5th ‘Cuz that’s the plan
And who would believe Enron
They stuck it to me in the ashcan
They’re all thieves Enron

I got the shaft from Enron
They gave it to me in the ass man
I got screwed by Enron
And it sucked up my retirement plan
And I feel like I’ve been peed on
And it’s made me a poor man
They’re all thieves Enron

They’re all thieves
They’re all thieves
They’re all thieves Enron
They’re all thieves
They’re all thieves
They’re all thieves Enron
