Forget Skyhooks, I say. Consider the Stones who are celebrating 50 years on stage.
And don’t they look it – being a drug addict may keep you skinny but it doesn’t do much for youthful looks.
But Emmo could easily rework one of the Stones’ Classics along these lines:
I can’t get no voter traction
I can’t get no nice reaction
‘Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can’t get no, I can’t get no
When I’m ridin’ round the world
And I’m doin’ this and I’m signing that
And I’m tryin’ to make some voter
Who tells me Emmo better come back later next week
‘Cause you see I’m on a losing streak
I can’t get no, oh no, no, no
Hey hey hey, that’s what I say
And this time, get a proper Karaoke track and give up the pretend dancing.
I’m wondering whether all Parliamentarians should switch to music: Arias without Notice; Second Reading Song, Budget Seranade.
It would have to make politics more interesting than it is currently.
ohhh, i can’t stop the thought … arrrgghh, PM Yabby trying to sing … that voice trying to harminse with some kind of music, any music.
Mental scarring, maybe worse than borat’s mankini caused.
Be afraid.

SHY singing “Ive got a lovely bunch of coconuts”. I’m thinking of her singing it pointing to Tubbsy and Rosa Kleb Rhiannon not to her cleavage.

Maybe the multi-party committee on asylum seekers could form themselves into a capella choir doing three part harmonies – a bit out of tune, of course?

‘cause we got a little ole Conroy
rockin’ thru the night
Yeah, we got a little ole Conroy
ain’t she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our Conroy
ain’t nothin’ gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this fuckin’ Conroy ‘cross the way
Conroy!
Then work in some lyrics about the duck bum and eleven long haired friends of Gaia in a verdant microbus.

Not to be outdone Kevin Rudd reports to Parliament his the outcome of his most recent trip to China . Funny this song just about sums up Kevin’s total contribution to Australian/Chinese Détente.

Perhaps something from The Who
Once it was just innocence
Brash ideas and insolence
But you will never get away
With the things you say today
But you can cry if you want

The Sex pistols would put it like this:
I am the Abbott man
I am am a Liberal
I know what I want and I know how to get it
I’m gonna destroy Julia
Cos, we wanna be LNP
Is this the C.R.A.P?
Is this the M.A.D.
Is this the ABC?
I thought it was the ALP
And not just another party
Another union fallacy
I wanna be LNP

Kaiser Chiefs:
I tried to get to my taxi
woman with red hair attacks me
says that I should pay for carbon
Then Emmerson lathers the smarm on
Greeens dance a ragged cotillion
To cadge a few bucks or a billion
If it wasn’t for wankers they’d be voteless
and not very sensible
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
