No Effin' way! I did not just hear an ad for a CD called Patriotic

[JimmyJazz]

Country 2 in which a woman sang, "That's why I have a yellow ribbon on the back of my SUV..."

I only caught the tail end of the commercial, but I'd swear that's what I heard :eyes:

[MisterP]

1. yeah, there was a flap about that song: they were so (non-)persecuted

that they made up stories about being disrespected by evil spoiled layabout hippie peaceniks.

[gmoney]

2. Yeah, it's real...

I think that one's by Chely Wright. Was a big hit, and her fans got busted for calling radio stations to request it, claiming they had a SO over in Iraq, when they really didn't.

Chely is a hottie, but too bad she's a winger

3. *sigh*

"yellow ribbon on the back of my SUV" ... there is something so wrong about that ...

[Bossy Monkey]

4. Wait'll you hear the one for the Time-Life Christian power anthems

collection and yes, that is the way that they phrase it.

[jonnyblitz]

5. LMFAO..its hard to tell what is real and what is satire anymore

since "their" worldview is so fucking WHACKED.

[JimmyJazz]

8. I FOUND IT! Un-Fuggin' Believable! She doesn't understand the whole

SUV thing, does she?

*****

I've got a bright red sticker on the back of my car,
Says: "United States Marines."
An' yesterday a lady in a mini-van,
Held up her middle finger at me.
Does she think she knows what I stand for,
Or the things that I believe?
Just by looking at a sticker for the US Marines,
On the bumper of my S.U.V.

See, my brother Chris, he's been in,
For more than 14 years now.
Our Dad was in the Navy during Vietnam,
Did his duty, then he got out.
And my Grandpa earned his Purple Heart,
On the beach of Normandy.
That's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines,
On the bumper of my S.U.V.

But that doesn't mean that I want war:
I'm not Republican or Democrat.
But I've gone all around this crazy world,
Just to try to better understand.
An' yes, I do have questions:
I get to ask them because I'm free.
That's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines,
On the bumper of my S.U.V.

'Cause I've been to Hiroshima,
An' I've been to the DMZ.
I've walked on the sand in Baghdad,
Still don't have all of the answers I need.
But I guess I wanna know where she's been,
Before she judges and gestures to me,
'Cause she don't like my sticker for the US Marines,
On the bumper of my S.U.V.

So I hope that lady in her mini-van,
Turns on her radio and hears this from me.
As she picks up her kids,
From their private school,
An' drives home safely on our city streets.
Or to the building where her church group meets:
Yeah, that's why I've got a sticker for the US Marines,
On the bumper of my S.U.V.

11. can it get any cheesier?

:eyes:

[JimmyJazz]

15. I love how she turns around and stereotypes drivers of mini-vans

in the VERY SAME SONG she criticizes people for stereotyping her! Oy! - where's the "head slapping" smilie when you need him?

[flamingyouth]

14. She's been to Hiroshima?

Apparently that trip was wasted on her. :banghead:

[JimmyJazz]

16. She was on the "SUV Drivers Tour of Japan"

at the time. They had rebuilt the city by then. :o

[Maddy McCall]

17. If she's been to Hiroshima, the DMZ, and Iraq...

she must be one haggard looking bitch.

Forgive me...I'm drinking. :D

[JimmyJazz]

19. I'm sending you a copy of the CD - you Dixie Chick lovin,

American hating, daqueri sipping LIEBRAL! Maybe you'll learn something :P

[Maddy McCall]

7. My proposed lyrics

So slap a magnetic ribbon on the SUV
If you give a fuck about dead ol' me
If I don't see a cheap ass ribbon
On the SUV
I'll just stay dead
Dee Aaaa Eddd.
And keep on blaming meeee
For Bush's Yellow ribbon Catastrophe!
Yellloww Ribbonnnn Cat assssss stroooo Pheeeeeeee!

Thank yew! Thank Yew!

[Fenris]

10. Where's my gun?

:puke::grr:

[sparky_in_ma]

12. You shouldn't make fun

of her made in China ribbon. On her humvee.:patriot:

[JimmyJazz]

13. *snarf*

You're right. I shouldn't. Can I make fun of her piss poor talents as a lyricist? :crazy:

[sparky_in_ma]

18. OK

I was disturbed to see you hating America so much.:D As long as it's about the lyrics. And not the fact that the oil she was pushing out the tailpipe is the reason there was even a perceived need for a ribbon, made in China.
