Smooth Music<\/b><\/p>\n
\"The Makers of Smooth Music\" is a compliation CD of songs recorded in the 60's and 70's by companies who, for a fee, put your lyrics (no matter how awful) to music, with a live band! <\/p>\n
I'll transcribe the lyrics to a few of these songs here, for your amusement. <\/p>\n
Richard Nixon<\/b><\/p>\n A courageous leader His heritage is from Heaven Yes, God, in his infinite wisdom A leader with endless courage God, in his infinite wisdom Jimmy Carter<\/b><\/p>\n Can our government Can our government Jimmy, Jimmy Carter John F Kennedy<\/b><\/p>\n Of the 25 or so songs on the CD, only these three are about US presidents. The rest are about groovy things like vans, roller-disco, drums, dancing, astronauts, gettin it on, etc.. Each song is crazier than the last; and all are so bad as to leave you slack-jawed: how could someone write those words? How desperate for work must those musicians have been to put any effort at all into trying to make those words sound good ? When the author got the record back, did they realize how stupid those words really were, or did they shop the record around, trying to get radio play ? So many questions. Most of them are amusing in some way, or at least grotesque enough to keep me listening, but one or two are actually so bad I can't find anything redeeming about them at all.<\/p>\n As amusing as they can be, though, it's tough to sit through all 25 of them at once. But having one pop up now and then on the ol' iPod shuffle is good for a chuckle now and then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Smooth Music \"The Makers of Smooth Music\" is a compliation CD of songs recorded in the 60's and 70's by companies who, for a fee, put your lyrics (no matter how awful) to music, with a live band!

\nPut Richard Nixon on this earth
\nTo bring to us his heritage
\nOne of priceless worth<\/p>\n
\nAnd a blessed man
\nSurely in God's plan<\/p>\n
\nAnd the magic from above
\nThe rapture of music and melody
\nOf culture and of love<\/p>\n
\nPut Richard Nixon on this earth
\nTo bring to us his heritage
\nOne of priceless worth<\/p>\n
\nA miracle you might say
\nAnd all who have met Nixon love him so
\nThe genius of his way<\/p>\n
\nPut Richard Nixon on this earth
\nTo bring to us his heritage
\nOne of priceless worth\n<\/ul>\nCan our government
\nBe competent
\nJimmy Carter says Yes
\nJimmy Carter says Yes<\/p>\n
\nBe honest
\nJimmy Carter says Yes
\nJimmy Carter says Yes<\/p>\n
\nBe decent and open
\nAs the 39th President, he has spoken
\nJimmy Carter says Yes<\/p>\n[spoken]
\nAs your President, I, Jimmy Carter
\nKnow it is possible to run a government efficiently
\nWith out sin or any corruption
\nI will do my level best
\nTo run the government decently without any statement of eruption
\nErrors and wrongdoings I will reveal to the public
\nFor corruption whie I'm in office I will not barter
\nI'll stand tall like Old Glory, faithful to the Republic
\nSecurity will prevail as sure as I'm the President
\nPresident Jimmy Carter\n<\/ul>\n
\nOur 39th President
\nJimmy, Jimmy Carter
\nOur 39th President
\n...\n<\/ul>\n\nOn that very sad day John F Kennedy was called away
\nWe didn't know he was leaving Washington to stay
\nAnd now he is gone
\nAnd all we can do is sing these songs
\nHe had no fears
\nEven though many people have shed tears
\nAnd when John F Kennedy was called to rest
\nI know that he did his best
\nHe tried so hard
\nTo give each and every one a start
\nHe tried to make the rich man see
\nIf it wasn't for the poor man, how could we eat?
\nIn Dallas out in the street
\nSomeone wanted to see him defeated
\nHe saw that there really was no use
\nBecause there's nothing anyone wanted to do.\n<\/ul>\n
