“The Day Collusion Died,” by Don Caron … (Satire / Parody of "American Pie" – Music to Your Ears, Mock’n’Roll–1)

Every day, more wacky theories would fly. Time to let it go and just let it die.

Don Caron – “The Day Collusion Died”

“The Day Collusion Died” (2019)

In this parody of the classic pop tune “American Pie,”  Don Caron mocks the grand collusion delusion and the collective insanity that dominated US political discourse for 22 months.   

Caron is clearly no Trump apologist or supporter (“We all know that he’s corrupt” ). In fact, Caron has skewered and satirized Trump in a few other brilliant songs. In this song, however, he ridicules those who had a misguided and “desperate … hope to see a trial”  of the president and his cronies. 

Included in the list of riculous fools were the “corporate media hacks”  who “lost their mind as they blundered backward fully blind.”  For 2 years!   

Then, a few weeks ago, on that tragic day, collusion died. The Trumped-up music wouldn’t play, and in fact it never did. As for the media, “they’re still singing”  – which just means that “the damage will amplify.”  That  will be tragic.    _{(Image source)}

Don Caron / The Parody Project

Don Caron is a composer and film-maker who has worked in the entertainment industry for over 40 years.

In 2017, he founded The Parody Project   “as a means of surviving the current political and social mire by laughing.”

With antidotes such as “The Day Collusion Died,”  he offers us a bit of hope that we might survive the coming few years. If not, at least we’ll go down laughing.

Two long years ago
the probe began and many thought
that someday it would make them smile.
And those who said it had no chance
were scowled upon and seen askance
so desperate was the hope to see a trial.

But February made them shiver
as it came clear he’d not deliver.
The news that they desired
was not to be acquired.

I know that many people cried
when they read the news, it hurt their pride,
so deeply in the pipe dream mired
the day collusion died.

So bye, bye to the collusion lie,
Russian agents, Putin’s puppet, and a plot to deny.
From each new event how the conjecture would fly.
Can they let it go and just let it die?
Let it go and just let it die.

We all know that he’s corrupt
and his list of crimes is building up
so I’ll just list them down below.
While emoluments could’ve kicked the goal
collusion was their chosen roll
investigating all of it real slow.

Well, the media then lost their mind
as they blundered backward fully blind.
Collusion became news,
evidence not vital for clues.

The other news stories all were then chucked
while collusion filled every news truck
But I knew they ran out of luck
the day collusion died.

But they kept singing
Bye, bye he’s a Russian ally
Putin puppet, Russian agent, and a treasonous spy
and every day, more wacky theories would fly.
Time to let it go and just let it to die.
Let it go and just let it die.

Now when Mueller issued his report
the media could not contort it
to save face, though they did try.
They lost all credibility.
Embarrassed is what they should be,
and the damage done they cannot deny.

They gave victory to the president,
validation as if heaven sent.
The courtroom was adjourned,
no verdict was returned.
And now when he screams about fake news
he’ll be correct thanks to their ruse.
The “Witch Hunt” he’ll rightfully accuse
the day collusion died.

‘Cause they were singing
Bye, bye he’s a Russian ally
Putin puppet, Russian agent, and a treasonous spy
And every day, more crazy theories would fly
time to let it go and just let it to die.
let it go and just let it die.

I met a girl who sang the blues.
She she asked me for some happy news.
I offered, but she just turned away.
Those who followed actual facts
instead of “liberal media” hacks
would know that Mueller knew the only way.

He farmed out criminal indictments
to seven districts, there’s excitement,
all of them pardon-proof,
not like the collusion spoof.
So carefully he did anoint
a prosecution starting point
the outcome couldn’t disappoint
the day collusion died.

Yet they’re still singing
Bye, bye he’s a Russian ally
Putin puppet, Russian agent, and a treasonous spy.
The Russian hysteria was misplaced outcry.
Time to let it go and just let it die.
Let it go and just let it die.

So, bye, bye to the collusion lie,
Collusion obsession gave the press a black eye.
And if they persist the damage will amplify
Time to let it go and just let it die.    _{(Image source)}
