Parody Song Takes Aim at Cheney

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 15, 2006 -- America’s #1 parody songwriting and performing team, The Bob Rivers Show, takes aim at the recent mishaps of Vice President Dick Cheney with their latest release. The gold record-holding Seattle morning radio show host (KZOK 102.5 FM) has produced “Dick Cheney’s Got a Gun,” a hilarious rendition of Aerosmith’s “Janie’s Got a Gun,” skewering the Vice President’s ineptitude. The new song and others from the Twisted Tunes catalog is available as a free downloadable mp3.

Fresh from the production of three parody songs for Super Bowl XL, The Bob Rivers Show (www.bobrivers.com) has quickly turned their attention to the White House and the bungling in Texas.

“We don't make the news," show host Bob Rivers said. "We just take shots at it. If I were Vice President Cheney, I would have immediately called (SNL executive producer) Lorne Michaels and asked to do the sketch myself. This could be all pre-planned. I picture Cheney asking his good friend Harry Whittington to take one for the team, upstaging stories of prisoner abuse at Guantanamo Bay, domestic spying, and coke- smuggling Air Marshals.”

The Bob Rivers Show has made the audio available for download now (under "Audio.") No password is required: http://www.bobrivers.com/audiovault/downloads/downloads.asp

Cheney's Got a Gun
(A Parody of Aerosmith’s “Janie’s Got a Gun")
Produced by The Bob Rivers Show

Dick Cheney’s got a gun
Dick Cheney’s got a gun
The safety’s come undone
He’s squintin’ in the Texas sun
What did our leader do?
Who’d he put a bullet through?

They said when Cheney goes To Texas
You’ll find him huntin’ fish and game
His buddy had it comin’
Cuz when Cheney’s got a gun
He’s just not that good at takin’ aim

Cheney’s got a gun
Dick Cheney’s shot someone
Cindy Sheehan better run
Better watch her liberal buns
Tell him that the war’s not through
He’ll probably put a hole in you

He tracked a little bitty birdy
Hopin’ to blow out its brains
They say the spell that he gets under
From double barrel thunder
Makes his eyes pop out like he’s insane

Run away, run away from the Vice President
Run away, run away, run from Dick Che-ee-ay-ee-nee

Dick Cheney’s got a gun
Cindy Sheehan better run
He a weapon of mass destruction

Lead vocals by Spike O’Neill
