Donald Trump’s bizarre war of words and tariffs with Canada is an example of his tendency to throw shit against the wall and hope some of it sticks. It has upended the upcoming Canadian election. The Conservative Party was at the very least MAGA curious before this. They are now obliged to be as anti-Trump as the Liberals. As an American supporter of that party I say, Spasibo, Donald.
When I posted The Guess Who on The Midnight Special 24 hours ago, it occurred to me that the Canadian band had the perfect theme song for The Liberal’s attempt to win an election that looked unwinnable on January 19th. All you have to do is change one word in one of their hit songs from Woman to Trumper.
Check out the marginally revised lyrics for the first two verses of American Woman:
“American Trumper, stay away from me
American Trumper, papa let me be
Don’t come a hangin’ around my door
I don’t want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin’ old with you
Now Trumper, I said stay away
American Trumper, listen what I sayÂ
American Trumper, get away from me
American Trumper, papa let me be
Don’t come a knockin’ around my door
Don’t want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else’s eyes
Now Trumper, I said get away
American Trumper, listen what I say”
I was too lazy to write anti-annexation and trade war lyrics, but this simple tweak works as well as rocks.
I give you, American Trumper. The last word goes to The Guess Who followed by Lenny Kravitz:
Finally, some mashup lagniappe:
