Parody artist with a penchant for wit and wordplay
This isn't a band, it's just me... I write songs, usually parodies, and occasionally get the chance to record stuff. This seemed like a good sort of site to give people access to the recordings. I hope you like them: I like to think they're kind of funny

Lyrics
If you giving a lot of aid money To a country poor and sunny Just one thing of which you must beware: The President's family don't wanna share Corruption, corruption They take tips, backhanders and bribes Don't care 'bout the starving, 'cause they from diff'rent tribes Children's plight is getting urgent Parents wiped out by "insurgents" Future looks grim, and kids gonna cry Their government does not care if they die Corruption, corruption Though plight would cause much distress Nobody knows, 'cause the government own the press Jobs are handed out by the dozens To the sons, nephews and cousins When nepotism is a way of life There's still a job for the president's wife Corruption, corruption When behaviour is beyond the pale And if you speak out, then you gonna get thrown in jail The president was democratic But voting has become erratic I'll tell you how the last election went: His share of the vote was 200% So give your aid money, help the starving people there... But giving seems futile The regime is brutal And they will... ...not share
