The results of this morning’s Quinnipiac poll were alarming to “Bonnie Raitt” who sent in this entry to the MMM song parody contest:
People are talking, talking about pollsters
I hear them whisper, Joe won’t beat Bob
They think Joe’s losing, kept undercover
I can’t ignore it, cause they keep saying
Bob’s lead’s just a little too proud
Bob won’t let Joe get too close
Blank stares just a little too long
They ain’t seeing, something they want, Daring!
Let’s give them something to talk about
Let’s give Bob something to cry about
Let’s give them something to talk about
How ‘bout it Joe?
Bob looks so foolish, he goes unnoticed
Joe acts too cautious; could Jersey be voting for Joe?
It took Bob crying to make me wonder
Now I’m convinced Bob could go under
Wishing Bob would go away
Corzine’s guy Bob just ain’t right
Let’s give Bob something to cry about
There’s no mystery to figure out
Let’s give Bob something to cry about
How about it, Joe, Joe Joe?
Joe, give us something to talk about
Let’s give Bob something to cry about
Let’s give them something to talk about
Let it rip, Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe!
MMM’s song parody contest, with the theme of Bob Menendez crying because Joe Kyrillos is the women’s candidate in the New Jersey U.S. Senate race, continues until July 31. The winning entry (entries?) will be made into a professional quality video. Please submit your entries in the comments here at MMM or in a message to Art Gallagher on facebook.

By “Debbie”
I was alright
For a while
They liked my ties
They liked my smile
But now this guy named Joe K
The ladies love him, they say
And now what will I do?
He’ll take my Senate seat
I can’t compete…
So now I’m cry-y-y-y-ing over you
Cry-y-y-y-ing over you
Cause they
Said “so long”
They left me standing, all alone
Alone and crying
Crying…
Crying…
Crying
They say I tax —-
and spend
Obamacare – will be my end!
And now I’m crying!
I thought Barak
Would be the key
If they love him
They’d sure love me
But Joe K’s so debonair
With his salty gray hair
The ladies love him, yes they do.
He cut – – their state aid
But they dont care, I’m afraid
Cry-y-y-ying over you
Cry-y-y-y-ing over
Yes, now you’re all gone
And from this moment on – I’ll be crying.
I’m crying!!!
Crying!!!!!!
O-Over you!!!

Song Parody Contest!
In honor of Senator Bob Menendez crying, “twice choking back sobs” today as Poltickernj put it, because Joe Kyrillos is distinguishing himself as the pro-women candidate in New Jersey’s U.S Senate race, MMM is announcing a song parody contest with the theme being “Joe Kyrillos is the pro-woman candidate in the New Jersey U.S. Senate race.”
The contest is open to all readers of MoreMonmouthMusings. Submissions will be accepted until midnight on July 31st, or whatever time Art Gallagher wakes up on August 1. There is no limit on the number a submissions any one person or team of people can submit. Submissions can be made in the comments of this post or by sending a message to Art Gallagher on facebook. Submissions can be made in your real name or with a pseudonym. By submitting a parody you give up any copyright or right to profit monetarily from the parody.
The winning song will be made into a professional quality video produced by our friend and professional videographer Joe Schilp. MMM readers will be stars of the video. The video will be launched on YouTube the week after Labor Day
To get things started, MMM publisher Art Gallagher reached deep into the MMM archives to find Lightshines, a prolific parody writer for MMM and other sites in the late 2000’s. Art asked Lightshines to write a parody entitled “Don’t cry for me Bob Menendez” to the tune of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Don’t cry for me Argentina.” This is Lightshines’ first entry in the contest:
After witnessing the sad spectacle of Bob Menendez breakdown when addressing a Union County Day Care Center (he didn’t get his nap?) we channeled Eva Peron who, feeling Senator Bob was a little too corrupt even for her, had this to say:
Don’t cry for me, Bob Menendez
The truth is we never liked you
All through your Hudson days
your dirty politics
You kept no promise
Now keep your distance
And as for fortune, and as for fame
That didn’t do much for us
Cause it seemed to the world that was all you desired
You’re an illusion
You are not the solution you promised to be
The answer was here all the time
Defeat you and all of your grime
Don’t cry for me, Bob Menendez
The truth is we never liked you
All through your Hudson days
your dirty politics
You kept no promise
Now keep your distance
Pick any song you like to write your parody. You can use “Don’t cry for me..” or any other song.
MMM is assembling a panel of judges who will select the final four parodies.
MMM readers will select the winner in early August.
