#11 Fellow Rantburgers,

So glad you liked it. Came to me in a stroke and I knew it had to be done. The song is an absolute classic and one of my total favorites, but it's title alone begged for a little "treatment" (otherwise known as filking). Cranking the lyrics took about three hours last night and it is presented for your delectation as a personal Thanksgiving gift to all of my compatriots at Rantburg.

However funny the lyrics might be (and they are), they are also meant without the least jesting as well. These Islamist b@stards truly are the sultans of swine.

Warmest holiday regards to you all,

Zenster

#13 It's like Weird Al Yankovich . . . except for that it's truly funny & witty. Ranks up there with Scrappleface, Lileks, or Mark Steyn. Good work!
