ACORN Banana (stuff for which I should be slapped, installment #517)

by Smitty (h/t Little Miss Attila)

I must admit to both glee at the dumpster diving episode and Fischersville Mike envy, with the parodies. Doesn't dumpster diving make you think of another Barry?


ACORN Banana

Her name was Hanah, posed as a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be madame, Jimmie had the pocket cam
In an office dive, they worked from 9 till 5
They were young and they had each other
Who could film this live?

At ACORNa, ACORN gone bananas
They didn't quite make it to Atlanta
At ACORNa, ACORN banana
Tax evasion, illicit passion were always the fashion
At ACORNa....they plotted crime

(ACORNa, ACORNa banana)

Its name was RICO, it was a statute
It was a mother of a law, convicts take it on the jaw
And when it's finished, ACORN is over
But Rico goes a bit too far, Holder's frightened of the law
And when indictments fly and pols get blackened eye
There's blood on the tracks
But only Dylan knows why!

At ACORNa, ACORN gone bananas
They didn't quite make it to Atlanta
At ACORNa, ACORNa banana
Tax evasion, illicit passion were always the fashion
At ACORNa....she gets no love

At ACORNa, ACORN gone bananas
They didn't quite make it to Atlanta
At ACORNa, ACORNa banana
Tax evasion, illicit passion were always the fashion

Her name is Hanah, she was a showgirl
But that was 30 months ago, when they started up the show
It's dead as disco, but not for Hanah
Still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined, and thinks the media blind
She and Jimmie outed ACORN
But not in Olbermann's mind!

At ACORNa, ACORN gone bananas
They didn't quite make it to Atlanta
At ACORNa, ACORNa banana
Tax evasion, illicit passion were always the fashion
At ACORNa....she gets no love

ACORNa...don't fall in love

  2. I will have to say that this is the only good Barry Manilow parody I've heard, other than the Star Wars Cantina (which used the same song, curiously enough).
