my first (POD) publication! | THE SPAWN OF BARBARA


THE SPAWN OF BARBARA
(To the tune of “This Joint Is Jumping”)

THEY PLAN GLOBAL EXPANSION
BUT IN A FAMILY WAY
THEY’RE CHUMMY WITH THE SAUDIS
AND PALS OF KENNY LAY
TO SAY THAT THEY ARE SHADY
UNDERSTATES THE CASE
THIS DYNASTY IS SO NASTY
THEY’RE A NATIONAL DISGRACE!
(“You’ve been warned!”)

THE SPAWN OF BARBARA
SHOULD TERRIFY YA
MARVIN, JEB AND NEIL AND GEORGE
I FEAR THE SPAWN OF BARBARA

THEY’RE CORPORATE CROOKS, WHO
ALL COOK THE BOOKS, TOO
POPPY’S BROOD
IS MORE THAN RUDE
I FEAR THE SPAWN OF BARBARA

THEIR COMPASSION IS A POSE
AND THEY DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK
SCRATCH ANY SCANDAL AND YOUR NOSE
WILL GET A WHIFF OF BUSH-STINK

(there's MUCH more)

the CRITICS on "The Question W Revue":

...wildly funny and irreverent. It is an outrageous musical satire that rips into today's headlines and take the audience into an off-the-wall 'no sin zone.'...a Pandora's box of Bush bashing and acerbic rhetoric. - David Hoglund, BACKSTAGE

The Question W Revue is surprisingly entertaining, with parody lyrics that will have lovers of democracy–and those who are scared to death of 'Dubya'–applauding loudly in both recognition of and disgust for the current administration's blunders and policies...everyone involved deserves five gold stars for even attempting material so pointedly political. - David Hurst, SHOW BUSINESS

With a one-sided political agenda, one generally expects an attack that's light on wit and heavy-handed in every other respect. Happily, that's not the case here. While the gloves are certainly off, The Question W Revue makes a real attempt (mostly successful) to subsume its messages in clever entertainment...The ultimate star of the revue, however, is Jeff Matson, who has written some very clever stuff. - Barbara & Scott Siegel - THEATERMANIA

4. yes.
actually, a bit expanded from the show version as I restored some bits that were cut for timing/pacing. (I also included a number that was completely cut, a duet between Molly Ivins and Ann Coulter.
