Kiss My Asp's blog: "Ode Dear - collection of silly poems"

Whoooweee this was a tough one!   Reading the news one morning over breakfast I learned that his first name was "Muammar", and suddenly, without really thinking about it, I had four verses in my head to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody.  So it had to be done.  Go grab your copy of Bo Rhap, and sing along!  If anything doesn't appear to fit perfectly, listen more closely to the original vocal delivery.  It does match spot on, I promise!  Worked hard on this bugger, would appreciate some comments :)

 

BOHEMIAN GADDAFI

Are you a real man

Or a caricature

Don't you understand

You're not wanted any more

Open your eyes

As your regime dies

And see...

 

You're just a crackpot

You'll get no sympathy

Ruling by the gun, laying low

Time to go, don't you know

Natives have had enough

Days are getting rougher

For you, it's true

 

Muammar, just killed some men

Sent the army in with guns

Shot them all to kingdom come

Muammar, they're civilians

But now you've gone and blown them all away

 

Muammar, ooh-oo-oo-ooh

Your time is passing by

Although you may hang on beyond tomorrow

Can't go on, can't go on

Like nothing ever happened

 

Too late, you're on your own

Now the UN has moved in

And imposed a no fly zone

Goodbye, then Gaddafi

You've got to go

Gotta leave Libya behind and face the troops

 

 

Muammar, ooh-oo-oo-ooh

Don't want to say goodbye

You often wish those rebels weren't born at all

 

We see a little man who calls himself a colonel

Shift your tush, go on mush

No you can't stay there forever

Approaching day of reckoning

Exile is a-beckoning you

 

Ajdabiya, on to Brega

Ajdabiya, on to Brega

To the port of Benghazi

Rebellion

 

I'm still in power, gonna make you cower

Set the town alight using military might

Unless you cede to my authority

 

Major town on the coast

Will you let it go

Misrata?  No, we will not let it go

Let it go

Misrata!  We will not let it go

Let it go

Misrata!  We will not let it go

Let it go

We'll not let it go

Let it go!

Never let it go

Let it go-o-o-o

No no no no no no no!

Oh human shield won't you yield

We can end this bloody siege

The hell we will

NATO air support will take you out

You out, no doubt

 

 

(feel free to headbang in your vehicle with some mates at this point)

 

So you think you can fly in the face of opinion

So you think you can retain all of your dominion

No, never

Don't you try to be clever

Just gotta get out

Just gotta get right out of there

 

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

 

Your cabinet's defecting

It is plain to see

Everyone's rejecting

Everyone rejects your policy

 

This is where you step down.
