As much as I agree that the Tea-baggers are indeed Assholes, the song clearly does not deal with them specifically. There are Assholes in every corner of the political spectrum.
i was invited bacck stag and met tim buck 20 tears ago and i told them if they are e ver in toronto again they can stay at my house but now i have a better offer i am now a coach driver and if thet need one well call me i love thier music darlene 9057934832 although im in south africa for the next month
As a friend of the man who wrote this song I am sad (and so is he) to see all you Tea-bagger-Party ASSHOLES ON PARADE here. Go read a book or something.
Seems custom-made for the Parasites on Parade...I'm with @STEEEVVYZ on this. OWS is a perfect preview of what we get with 4 more years of Obambi: puerile political slogans, assholes ripping each other off, incoherent psychobabble, and they send the bill to the TEA Party. We need to crush the OWS-democrat/socialists in 2012. Don't need to make a big deal out of it, just turn out and vote.
Hold on a minute! this is a bit of a half assed video as the song ends halfway through it and you still put up images with silence. What happened here? I thought it might be a medley or some such but it isn't. Maybe it needs a bit of editing.
Stupid discussion ... do you seriously think that after WWII the US may not be criticised in any way? Yeah go ahead and tell the native Americans first. You don't get the point of this song. You're ridiculous! And maybe you're part of the parade. Full stop.
@DanFrederiksen So the soldiers who liberated Europe from the Nazis were a-holes, huh? And that's just one example. You may want to rethink your opinion of soldiers.
@indegruv Pat MacDonald and his wife (Timbuk3) wrote this song, and he currently lives in Milwaukee. I personally know him. This song has nothing to do with politics when it was first conceived, written, and recorded. Maybe I'll give him a call and have him get this video removed from your channel.
@mentalpatientinwait I wrote it- it wasn't a collaboration- and It was originally inspired by someone behind me at a light that had, just that second, turned green. They honked immediately and i thought "asshole!" and then thought, "people in cars become assholes - traffic is assholes on parade!" and it was during Reagan's first run for president (1980) so... also inspired by his campaign and his supporters, but not strictly partisan.
@pmAcd333 When I head up north in two weeks I'll talk with one of your brothers and your dad and set them straight as this is the story they told me at the time. And you still owe me a T-shirt from when I let in extra guests for you at the Omnibus and didn't charge them a cover charge. LOL.
@mentalpatientinwait oh really? it has "nothing" to do with politics, eh? Maybe you should reread the lyrics. Not discrediting your point of view, but you are not 100% accurate (obviously).
@indegruv Obviously? Look, this song was written in the 80's, no Tea Party back then, you might not have even been born. Although the lyrics COULD apply to politics today - just as the song Dialougue by Chicago is just as relevant today as it was back in the early 70's when it was written - it just isn't the case. If you want to think of it as political, go ahead. His brother laughs at me for even trying to explain this to people who refuse to believe, so write to Pat and maybe he will tell you
@mentalpatientinwait it's not about tourists from Illinios or anywhere. i can tell you this for a fact because i wrote the song. It was originally inspired by someone behind me at a light that, just that second, had turned green. They honked immediately and i thought "what an asshole!" and then thought, "people in cars become assholes - traffic is assholes on parade!" and it was during Ronald Reagan's first run for president, so... also inspired by his campaign and his supporters.
@STEEEVVYZ Compared to the assholes jerking off in the parks today the TEA Party was beyond comparison. They were literate, educated, focused, intelligent, clean, articulate about what they wanted and when they left each day they did so like normal humans. The brainless drug addled sick mother fuckers in the parks gagging and spitting and mumbling to stoned to make a point cannot compare in any form as you obviously know but could not articulate it yourself. What a fuck up!
Okay so Im a 90's child but I grew up with timbuck 3 my whole life :) Count to ten became my wa of thinking, National holiday was my drinking song, and Waves of grain was my lullaby at night. :) i absolutly couldnt live without this band..
Republican Party anthem
