Sorry I'm late to this gem. What a gift for satire the orange one is! When Margaret Thatcher died half of the UK fantasised over pissing on her grave from a height! Great take on The Byrds arrangement. Thanks for sharing Jeff, this did me some good.

Chuckling on this jingle-jangle Texas morn…..lyrics fit so well Weird Al would be jealous.  Should be 1st song played in new Big Beautiful Ballroom.   What a country – musical presidents – Tangerine Man follows Nowhere Man…. :)

nice biting re-imagining of a classic song Jeff.....I wish congress would do their job and check his power. I blame the other branches weakness now for enabling the dismantling of democratic institutions. They could constrain him. They do not. Sad cowards. Thanks for sharing the music!

The BEST comic-pop parody song ever (aside Eric Idle's works)👏👏👏👏

Thanks Jeff! I needed to hear this today. Incredible job,

This is goddamn wonderfully cathartic. Thanks for this Jeff, your sense of humor is awesome, and the lyrics work so well!!

Was discussing The Replacements with a friend and had the urge to write a tune in that vein, and, gosh, there was inspiration right there in the daily news.  This was a quick & dirty one day write &  record, but then quick & dirty seems to be the order of the day.

hey mr tangerine man you're not fooling me
I'm not stupid and we all know what you're trying to do
hey mr tangerine man you're not fooling me
and you know we won't be mourning when they're burying you

you rake the air incessantly with your heinous flapping lips
while your golf shirt hides your tits
and your tiny grey hands twitch
all the citizens feel gypped
we're all waiting for a massive stroke to do you in
i'm ready to move anywhere I want to emigrate
but come back for the parade past the golf course where you're laid
i'll fight the urge to urinate

Mr Tangerine Man

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement. If you listen and leave a comment I always try to listen to *your* music when responding! If you follow at random without any feedback I hope you get something out of that too... ; )
