With apologies to anyone and everyone who's ever seen, heard, loved, and even hated "The Sound of Music."
He dines on lobster every day
Lives large without a care
With starving people on the ground
And missiles in the air
And though he's dressed austerely
He has Elvis Presley hair
Aboard his private train around the country
He's really into movies
Such as "Rambo" and "Top Gun"
He kidnapped a director
So he'd have a pet for fun
I hate to have to say it
But I think his time is done
Kim Jong-Il's not an asset to the country
I'd like to say a word in his behalf
Kim Jong-Il makes me laugh
How do you solve a problem like Korea?
Where'll his nuclear cloud be coming down?
How do we side-step war with North Korea?
The flibbertijibbet! The will-o'-the wisp! The clown!
Many
a starving soul would like to shell him
Many of us would opt to lend a hand
But how do you make him stay
For, "Go ahead -- make my day"
How
do you train the cross hairs on this man?
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Korea?
How 'bout we ship him to Afghanistan?
Genius.

This was so good, I had to come back for a second visit.
Do you find nuns funny? I do. I love nun jokes. I love looking at nuns. And laughing.
That is terribly disrespectful, isn't it?
What did the mother superior say to the younger nuns while they rode their bikes down a cobblestone street?
Sisters! Stop giggling, or I'm going to have to put your seats back on your bicycles!
See what I mean?

OMG this is brilliant! BRILLIANT!
I'm laughing so hard I just shot Diet Coke through my nose. *lol* Of course, now that I've gone and admitted that, I bet that's the first thing you're going to think of when I met ya in July. Sorry about that.
Awesome stuff Laurie...awesome. The parody that is, not the shooting diet coke thing.

OH MY GOD!
This is the first broadway show I ever saw, at the age of 8. I had the LP album (Mary Martin, Theodore Bikel!) and listened to it until it was worn out.
You have made me sing these lyrics in their voices
GAHHHHHHH!!!!!
You are awesome.
Posted by: g | March 18, 2009 at 09:17 PM
Good grief...you are too much! Thanks for the laugh...I even snorted...

Posted by: Ellie | March 18, 2009 at 02:50 PM
I have to say I like this better than the original, and I'm a Sound of Music freak.
This was awesome.
I would love just a little piece of your brilliant mind. I won't eat it or anything, I'll just sleep with it under my pillow and hope to absorb the genius.
Posted by: san Diego Momma | March 18, 2009 at 01:06 PM
Outstanding and this really came out of your head? Can we say talent? Or crazy? I love it!!!
I have a visual of quite a few in Washington singing this!
Posted by: Debbie | March 18, 2009 at 12:26 PM
Hehehehehahahaha - -actually Bossy thinks this would make a great rap tune.
Posted by: BOSSY | March 18, 2009 at 12:16 PM
You DO have a lot of time on your hands, don't you.
And now you've gone and done it. I'm gonna write a poem about you. If you want any truth in it, send me an email with some details of you in it. Otherwise I'll just make up some stuff.
:)

Maybe there's a better role for you than President.... Singing Secretary of State, perhaps?
