One possible verse of a border song. This is a fun, upbeat, but vocally challenging hard rock song I feel most people would know. To be sung by Mexica, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. vid link & lyrics below. youtu.be/ewFBuYHldeYAre you ready Guatemala? ....Uh-huh! Honduras? ....Yeah. El Salvador? ....Okay! Alright fellas, let's go! Oh, the last few years were so hard We feel we've simply got to get away, My dreams have always been north I'm headed for the good ol' USA So we stayed in the back With Trump on the attack But we were just bidin' our time We'll just wait, what the heck, And see who they elect, Then maybe we'll head for a frostier clime... Oh yeah! It was like lightning, The election was frightening, Then the coup started failing, And Joe Biden starts flailing! Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah And the poor, dispossessed, The crooks and all the rest Made it turn into a border blitz And the folks in California, Who always like to scorn you, Saw it turn into a border blitz Border blitz, Border blitz, Border blitz, Border blitz

I love the idea of using this song. Its frikkin bizarre, yet kind of fun. "Then the coup started failing, And Joe Biden starts flailing!" I dont quite get this. What coup do you mean? Maybe change 'crooks' to 'Cartels'? I guess you wouldn't consider making it more Latino-centric, you know, like "Miguel?" "Si." "Juan?". "Si". "Jose?" "Vamanos!!" Which might make it funnier when you go into that sultry sexy-sounding verse at the beginning. But I guess we can no longer do anything that is cultural these days. This is one of the reasons I worry about a group like ours. Comedy is going to be dead in a few years since everything is going to be untouchable. Sorry for my rant, but it is insane that the same kinds of people that think Dr.Seuss is evil yet a film like "Coming to America 2"- something that makes Africans look like backward morons- well, that's fine. I would be totally fine with a comedy group depicting 'my people' as whining about little inconveniences using a Yiddish phrase, or incredibly pushy and entitled women with Long Island or Brooklyn accents, because they exist in extremis. I've seen thousands in my life. It's real. Just like the Chinese using chopsticks (that was one of the Dr. Seuss complaints) or an elderly black slave from the south in 1870's talking in the vernacular of... a black slave from the South in the 1870's (Song of the South). Whatever, who shivs a git. I'm leaving now. I have an appointment to meet with a group that wants to rename a high school because it's offensively named after Abraham Lincoln. (Yes, this happened last month in San Francisco).

It was a progression...the election frightened them...the illegal coup to take over the government by force, persuasion, or duplicity—whatever works— failed...now Buden is in and fucking up royally.
No, we can't use funny latin accents.
Funny, I never thought I would see a day when the police were openly white supremacist and helped attempt to murder the vice president because they're either full-out traitors or gullible morons. Or both. I guess we all have our disappointments, Brad.
