Attention Babalu Readers:
I am looking for a lady with a good singing voice and a decent knowledge of computers to help me and a couple of blog buddies to produce a top notch version of our parody: HOW DO YOU FREE OBAMA FROM MARIA?
The original music comes from the show "The Sound of Music" and its song "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?"
We need someone to lay down the vocal track with the lyrics below over the music bed which is linked here.
She's on TV and there we see "Obama in '08"; So far, so good, but then we see How else she decorates: Guevara's mug, that brutal thug, And a Cuban flag--oh, great! And all of this is sticking to Obama!She's always seen campaigning,
But her presence is a pain;
She's always doing one more thing
We have to then explain.
I hate to have to say it,
But I think it's very plain:
Maria's not an asset to Obama!Each time she's seen as being with our staff,
Maria makes a gaffe!How do you free Obama from Maria?
How do you stop the news from being spread?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A Commie campaigner! A Bolshevik babe! A Red!Many a Marxist goal you'd like to further,
Many a thing to tax across the land;
But how do you take away
The picture of her and Che?
How can you let her ruin what you planned?Oh, how do you free Obama from Maria?
How do you make a moonbat understand?When she's answering the phone,
Chanting, "Revolución!"
This is maybe not the image that we need.
I'm afraid our "Si, se puede!"
Could be changed and even made a
Slogan saying, "Yes, the struggle will succeed!"She is campaign suicide,
Driving voters from our side;
She could throw our poor Barack beneath the bus.
She's an early spring surprise
From the Workers' Paradise.
She's rebelling! She's revolting! She's with us!How do you free Obama from Maria?
How do you stop the news from being spread?
How do you find a word that means Maria?
A Commie campaigner! A Bolshevik babe! A Red!Many a Marxist goal you'd like to further,
Many a thing to tax across the land;
But how do you take away
The picture of her and Che?
How can you let her ruin what you planned?Oh, how do you free Obama from Maria?
How do you make a moonbat understand?
I'm told that that when you click on the tune link, the first two seconds of music are introductory, and then at about the third second, the music and the lyrics will match up.
Please email me if you can help. Once the song is recorded I'll do the video part.

Here's another appropriate song, "Take A Letter Maria," with apologies to R.B. Greaves:
Last night as I got home, about half past ten
There was a woman I thought I know, in the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
Let me tell you what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out
And I ain't going back again
Oh take a letter Maria
Address it to my wife
Say I won't be coming home
Gotta start a new life
So take a letter Maria
Address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer
Gotta start a new life

I can sing with a nice falsetto, if that will work Henry.

if you can find someone with a harmonizer/pitch transposer I could do it ...

I have one Mike! I have some pretty advanced sound editing programs (it's a hobby of mine). Let's you, Henry, and I do it and I can make us sound like the Pointer Sisters!

Ok, so are we going to get drunk at Alberto's house and do this?
Posted by: Henry "Conductor" Gomez at February 18, 2008 07:04 PM
Henry, you said the magic word: "drunk." In all seriousness, I do have the equipment to change voice pitch if you can't find a female singer. But the prerequisite is that we all have a few drinks before!
