  • Visions of Johanna. I believe that's the Dylan song. Funny.

  • "She was McCain's second choice. He was turned down by the mayor of Narnia."

    LMFAO

  • Love it, Roy! I noticed you sound like another famous Zimmerman a little in this song...

  • 35 people pale in comparison to Roy Zimmerman.

  • "She's a vicious attack dog and miss congeniality". That could also describe Ann Coulter.

  • Awesome!  Gotta love a Dylan-esque song bashing Sarah Palin. *smiles with great satsifaction*

  • wow that was lame.

  • Sarah Palin ADS + ROYZIMMERMAN= EPIC FAIL

  • @No1Rides4Free

    Hahaha!!! Man oh man, can anyone say right wing nutbaggery? Palin is a fuckwit who thinks the earth is 6000 years old. People like that, and you, should be stricken from voter rolls and locked away in a science classroom until reality sets in. Difficult, i know; those thick skulls block reason from entering the tiny brains.

  • Brilliant. love the dylan references and intonations. Again, brilliant, Roy. Keep it coming.

  • Awesome, so wonderful you are the best.

  • Robert Zimmerman Style Roy Zimmerman

  • I'm a straight 17 year old but Zimmerman is hot!!

  • catastrophe...... astrophe...... ass trophy. He knew we didn't get it the first time.

  • Brilliant stuff Roy. As a long time Dylan fan I appreciated all the references. I just found you on youtube and this is about the 12th song I've listened to in a row.

    Skillful guitar and razor sharp lyrics with inventive, clever rhymes. Glad I found you. Keep rollin'.

  • Television and the internet are not babysitters. Parents stop treating them like they are and do your jobs

  • Yes children have access to the internet. They have access to parents also. You should be watching your child when they are on the internet, do not worry about what the internet is doing.

  • Indeed,commentators should keep a modified Wittgenstein on their screens: "The limits of your language are the limits of your horizons."

    Some all Cap screamers obviously can't see over the rubbish heap of their limited vocabulary skills.

    Still, what fun that we, with Roy can provoke even the brain dead to froth at the mouth sputtering with a few well crafted tunes ! Music as a subversive activity ! Support your local musician!

  • Amen zendotavern.

    Or i should say RAmen!

  • Wow, I was just looking at my little girls screen and saw this no1rides4free person posting some very inappropriate language. Please remind yourself that children have access to the internet and us parents don't appreciate it.

  • He is very good in comparison!!!

  • hey, if this song gets your goat , you will love "Dick Cheney" , more straight forward - none of those complex dylan metaphors and images to puzzelfy your little gray cells.

  • @No1Rides4Free

    So tell me, do you speak English?

  • that is the best reply i have seen. lmao!

  • @No1Rides4Free

    How's that English degree working out for you?

  • @No1Rides4Free Don't you have a robe to wear and a cross to burn?

  • @No1Rides4Free

    Wow, that's a really intellectual argument right there.

  • Hey No1Rides4Free - it sure is good to hear from the intellectual arm of the Republican Party. How's that unrequited anger doing for you, anyway?

  • Name-calling, the lamest form of rebuttal. Perhaps in another life, one where you and Sarah get to own a brain, you'll think up something a tad more intelligent. But it only took you a month to reply, so that shows some promise. And by the bye, lemonade sales are doing just fine, thank you!

  • @N1R4F

    Wow, name calling? You must be a real intellectual heavy weight.

  • Skirts ...lol

  • lol, best Dylan ever. brilliant!

  • please come to louisville . . . i get my zimmerman fix on YouTube, but it would be so nice to see you, up there, pickin' and grinnin' and making such hilarious good sense . . . LIVE!!!

  • Best Dylan impression I have ever seen. Good song:)

  • Great song.. I need to go listen to some Dylan now.

  • Good Dylan.

  • Zimmerman in Minnesota? Are you of Bob Dylan's lineage? If not, I got the joke.  Good one.

    I dig your style. Very talented.

  • Jeez, this is genius. Why can't I come up with this stuff?

  • Heh, Keith Olbermann's first choice in possible names for Palin's upcoming tell-all book was Pale in Comparison.

  • LMAO Wow, that's talent - it must be quite a stretch for you to sing as badly as Bob. XD

  • that was very hippie like

  • I know. Her.

  • You sound very much like Bob Dylan, nicely done :D

  • It's too bad that (presumably) most people don't get this.

  • "She wears skirts, just like a woman" hahahehehoho, I almost spit out my diet Dr. Pepper!

  • Genius.

  • What a brilliant parody of BD...thank you!

  • i LOVE that woman's name! it's ripe for hilarity.i was going to make up shirts with "IMPALIN THE COMPITITION" and a cutesy murder scene with cutesy little characters. now i'm too late.

  • Go SARAHpac!

    Go Roy!

  • "got turned down by the mayor of Narnia" LMAO!

  • Bob Dylan -esque! So awesome.

  • Yes, very much indeed xD

  • "She is too busy with all her commitments to be abreast of the subjects that other politicians are schooled in."

    She didn't know where Russia was......RUSSIA! I think McCain only picked her so that no one would dare assinate him for fear of that ditz taking over.

  • Do you have a source for her lack of knowledge of the whereabouts of Russia? I think that must be a myth circulated by the hate conservatives crowd.

  • I'd guess she knew where Russia is, since she defended McCain claim that Alaska's proximity to Russia proved her foreign policy experience. See:

    watch?v=6cjcufBT5gU (ABC interview)

    watch?v=nokTjEdaUGg (CBS interview)

    However, the McCain campaign claimed, after the election -it was widely reported- that she didn't know Africa is a continent. See:

    watch?v=W5BXMv64EfU (Fox report)

    watch?v=p3dkiWncf2k (Fox report and O'Reilly comment)

    FoxNews - part of the "hate conservatives crowd".

  • That's REALLY sad that FOX, of all NEWS stations, would run stuff against the republican party... LOL

    Plain was THAT bad.

  • ROFL.

    Only problem is, he probably didn't realize how ambitious she was when he chose her and that she'd be the assassin.

  • LOL, probably should have talked to her or something first :D

  • Hi Abbey! Ran into your comment while trolling Roy Zimmerman vids. How goes it? =)

  • It goes good! I'm still around though I haven't posted any new videos lately.

  • song is so good it would be good in rap no less

  • Yeah, lets drop freedom bombs.

  • you are a wicked man. ty.

  • Ass-trophy, what an unexpected laugh. Great delivery.

  • This Canadian conservative is a Big fan!

  • very clever, but now redundant.

  • "The mayor of Narnia..." Fantastic! Although, on a technical note, Narnia only has kings, queens etc. No democracy in Narnia.

  • Then we should bombard Narnia with Freedom!

  • We simply "export" democracy to Narnia. We can expect rejoicing throughout the woodlands.

  • INVADE NARNIA!!!

  • ????

  • sarah palin is not a not-woman?

  • Dylanesque!

  • Thanks I needed that. As a woman and one who knows the history of the womens movement. Sarah Palin is not of women. I am not sure where she is from but, pity Alaska when (hopefully) she goes back.

  • "Ass trophy", LOL! And OMG, I jokingly suggested he sing something in the voice of Bob Dylan, and by god he did it! I'm amazed!

  • I thought I knew about the ills of the world, genocide, war and poverty. And then you go and throw "Bush in a Skirt" into the mix and everything seems so much more disturbing.

  • Oh my god best comment ever. =D

    Yeah but seriously scary lady.

  • "He got turned down by the mayor of Narnia..."

    In my opinion probably the funniest line of all your songs Roy, congratulations sir of a great sense of humour and intellect

    !

  • RZ you really captured the early "other Zimmerman's" sound. Great video. Thanks for posting.

  • a little contrived compared to some of Roy's other work, but still cute. Well, what can we say other than Sarah Palin just doesn't bring out the best in any of us! Thanks Roy.

  • I love Dylan and I thought this was hilarious! Thanks for the entertainment!

  • Palin is a Bush/Cheney hybrid on steroids

  • More like estrogen, steroids are synthetic testosterone.

    Strong, free women see right through this whole political ploy and rightly so.

  • I completely agree, but the McCain/Palin ticket is hovering in the low 40's. We're talking about a country of what, like 300 million? Where the hell are all these idiots coming from?

    As long as the "he/she's just like me" voting block is nearly half the US population, we'll keep seeing these asinine stunts.

  • its pathetic isnt it? I see it all the time, and 90% of them havent got a clue about anything political, they are just worried about her looks... argh

  • Not his best work, and he's trying for some clever pun on bob zimmerman (bob dylan's real name).

    Listen to "Jerry Falwell's God" for a better intro to Roy Zimmerman.

  • I've liked R.Z.'s work since the early 90s (the Foremen), but this isn't one of his better efforts. Dylan imitations/parodies got old long ago (another good reason not to see Bob Dylan in concert these days), and the lyrics aren't up to his usual wonderful standard (except for "She's a vicious attack dog and Miss Congeniality").

  • Sarah Pal in comparison - brilliant! Thanks Roy.

  • none of the above 2008!!

  • I absolutely ADORE ur voice! Reminds me a little of Bob Dylan! :D and ur smile is amazingly contagious!

  • his singing in this song is suposed to sound like bob dylan as a joke since he is in minisota he is a singer/song writer and is a Zimmerman (bob dylans real name is robert zimmerman)

  • ha, didn't catch that. but thanks :)

  • no problem. he is a good singer tho you should watch his other vids

  • yeah, I've been doing that all night pretty much. ;) I like ur taste in music :)

  • Thanks Roy I needed that!! Starting to worry that people are taking her seriously (you know, living 'near Russia' constituting foreign policy experience and all...) and forgetting about the real issues at stake in this election..... imagine HER as "the decider"....

  • You're awesome. Like the musical left-side Colbert.

    Which is hilarious.

  • Zimmerman, you are even BETTER than your Uncle Bob from Minnesota.

    I hope I have your permission to use Creation Science in my Scientific Revolutions classes here at Champlain College in Burlington, VT.

    I will tell my students they have to buy your CDs if they want an "A".

    Kfrog

  • Creation Science. How easily the oxymoron slips from the fingers of the moron.

  • Perhaps if you'd paid more attention to your liberal teachers, you'd be able to spell "loser" AND you wouldn't be one.

  • sorry dbohls- my response to metalhowie was a little premature and post-redundant.

  • do you mean "loser" teachers? cause if so they didn't win on your behalf.

  • Keep singing Zimmerman! The country would be a place of madness and despair if McCain and Palin are elected. Wake up my fellow citizens, this election is a time like no other...we are deciding the fate of billions...Palin believes in creation science and doesn't think that there is such a thing as global warming. Now I'm TRULY frightened for our country.

  • Roy - you are a genius. I really appreciate all of your material. You have the sharpest wit and skills of any topical comedian. Plus, you can sing and play the guitar very well. Thanks for saying everything I want to say, but at times don't know how to put it.

    I'm a huge Bob Dylan fan, so I about shit a brick when I listened to this song.

  • i kinda think the non-polished feeling of the song is intentional. I mean, is "Like a Rollin' Stone" polished? Heck no.

  • Oh, you could go on? I suppose the RNC press release you're quoting from has more to say.

  • When a governor is in charge of the National Guard, the governor has nothing to do with activity on foreign soil. When the guard is called to duty, they're no longer under the leadership of the governor; they are under federal military jurisdiction.

  • Hah! I love that list, it just supports your sarcasm! . . . you are being sarcastic, right?

  • Still waiting for the OBama song

  • Why? Roy doesn't owe it to you to be bipartisan.

  • so takerdust shall we wait with bated breath and barely restrained excitement for a politically balanced, non-partisan equal opportunities political singer to come along?

  • That would kinda defy the point of political satire, wouldn't it? Idiot.

  • lol Roy youve just got a nack for calling people assholes in the most sincerest possible way :-)

    YOU ROCK BROTHER ! ! !

    Peace

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha!!! ★★★★★

  • long-time Zimmerman fan, but this one needs more polish. loved the last few though, they rocked. Burn Goody Clinton, Impeachment Song, and I play How Can We Lose an average of once a day. Can't expect Roy to keep hitting home runs *sigh*

  • Zimmerman, huh?

    clever.

  • Sarah, oh Sarah, whatever made McCain lose his mind?

  • I've been humming this little ode to the Bridge to Nowhere and Wasilla's lobbyist:

    Sarah, oh Sarah, whatever made you want to change your mind?

    Sarah, oh Sarah, guess pork that's earmarked for your state is fine.

  • Sarah Palin Meets Monty Python

    dailykos (dot) com/storyonly/2008/8/30/12747/­5692/883/579818

  • You turkey!! Somehow I "knew" Dylan was gonna sneak his way into it, and you nailed it in the last breath. Love it!!

    Moosie

  • Nice Bob Dylan reference

  • Wow, you two really put that one together quickly....And it's fantastic!!! It's good to see the "Other Zimmerman" come out and play again. Killer schedule you are keeping, Obama will surely owe you a White House visit in 2009!!!

  • This is brilliant, but at the same time I wish songs like this didn't have to be written, it more terrifying than funny. Nice Dylan impression.

  • Brilliant and hilarious as ever, Roy - you haven't lost your touch!

  • The point is that McCain chose her because she is a woman. The point is not "who will take care of her kids." She is not without some accomplishments but is clearly unqualified to be vice president.

  • Calm down, it's just a song. Jesus.

  • Um, a think the point is that her being a woman is why McCain picked her, in order to pander to angry Hillary fans. It's satire, not sexism. That's pretty much what Zimmerman writes...

  • Sheesh bellela, irrational and defensive much? What is so offensive about Roy saying she had a "bun in the oven?" Roy did not question if she could care for her kids. You need to quit imagining things and come back to reality.

    And Roy did attack what little we do know about her policies and accomplishments, you must have plugged your ears like a child.

  • I see no expursions cast on the hunting culture of Alaska. BTW She's the one quoted on the moose stew! LOL Bravo Roy! for the equal commentary on both partys. Keep up the good work.

  • The point is not to mock Alaska - the point is that she is being sold to us as a human interest story, not as someone qualified to be VP.

  • The point isn't to disparage moose hunting but to use it to call attention to her lack of legitimate qualifications to be president - hey, she's never been involved in foreign policy, which is unfortunate, but on the upside, she can hunt moose!

  • great as always

  • another gr8 song

  • Zimmerman for president! (Roy not Robert)

  • "Shot at a Motel 6 in Minneapolis - glamorous, huh?"

    Was Ted Haggard there by any chance?

  • from an obvious wordplay you constructed a gem of a tune, there. Have fun in Minnesota!

  • "shot at a motel 6 in minneapolis..."

    did they keep the light on for ya roy? :D

  • "Good one Sarah - booyaa..."

    You slay me. Brilliant.

  • McCain is bush... and well, Sarah comes from a state that has been bought out by big oil.. so that makes her the same of Dick cheney. lawl, when the republicans rig the election and win again, will any of you get off your computer and protest? No... ha.. no you won't.

  • Ass trophy. Oh yes.

  • Hahaha awesome song. Although, your Dylan impression was better in Christmas is Pain.

  • BRAVO. Bravo!

  • Another good one, Roy.

  • P.S. your smile at the end = MELT.

  • LOVE IT. omfg. its so true, too. <3

  • hahaha ass trophy. Brilliant.

  • one of your best... keep up the good work Robert, umm, Roy...
