White House Music! Old Rough and Ready
Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 5:25 PM
First of all: The nickname "Old Rough and Ready" is better than just about any other presidential nickname ever. It works for a soldier who is brave and strong or for a gay porn star. Good job, Zachary Taylor!
Second of all:
Rum-a-dum-dum, vote for Taylor!
Rum-a-dum-dum, son of freedom!
Rum-a-dum-dum, vote for Taylor!
He's the boy can skin and beat 'em!Old Zack kicked up gun powderation
With the Texas annexation.
Anyone makes much ado,
He'll flog 'em and annex 'em too!
Rhyming "son of freedom" with "skin and beat 'em" is the most awesome thing I've seen in months.
Third of all: Just listen to the song. This is fucking amazing, full stop.
Lyrics: 9.5
Enthusiasm: 9
Infectiousness: 9.5
Total Score: 9.3

Hey, it's the melody of 'Old Man Tucker'.
Does that count as fair use?
What's the point system for that?
Does that count as fair use?
What's the point system for that?
