Sung to the tune of the Candy Man by Sammy Davis Jr.

Who can Terrorize Civilians, Sprinkle in a Jew....
Abominate Religion with a virgin or two...
The Taliban, The Taliban can...
The Taliban can cause they're all mixed up and they hate you...

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a veil,
Hide it in the darkness and make it oh so frail,
The Taliban, The Taliban can...
The Taliban can cause they're all mixed up and they hate you...

The Taliban Hates, everything it rates, pleasing it's own militia...
Talk about childhood wishes, As long as America it squishes...

Who can cause more more sorrow, Make others Scream...
Separate Humanity by the Curan or so it would seem,
The Taliban, The Taliban can...
The Taliban can cause they're all mixed up and they hate you...

The Taliban Hates, everything it rates, pleasing it's own militia...
Talk about childhood wishes, As long as America it squishes...

Who can cause more more sorrow, Make others Scream....
Separate Humanity by the Curan or so it would seem,
The Taliban, The Taliban can...
The Taliban can cause they're all mixed up and they hate you...

Heheheee. Is there a parody/cover of that song yet?

There is now...hehehehe

If a parody lies in the woods, and nobody hears it, does it make a song? http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/eek.gif

I made a slight revision in the third verse which then repeats at the end, and I added the opening.

Sung to the tune of the Candy Man by Sammy Davis Jr.

Hey Taliban......
Hey Taliban......

Oooooooohhh....it's the Taliban!!!!

Who can Terrorize Civilians, Sprinkle in a Jew....
Abominate Religion with a virgin or two...
The Taliban, The Taliban can...
The Taliban can cause they're all mixed up and they hate you...

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a veil,
Hide it in the darkness and make it oh so frail,
The Taliban, The Taliban can...
The Taliban can cause they're all mixed up and they hate you...

The Taliban Hates, Whatever America makes, Pleasing it's own militia...
Talk about childhood wishes, As long as America it squishes...

Who can cause more more sorrow, Make others Scream...
Separate Humanity by the Curan or so it would seem,
The Taliban, The Taliban can...
The Taliban can cause they're all mixed up and they hate you...

I think it's worth finding a Sammy D. Sound alike and recording it.

Or dub over that musical interlude at the beginning of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.

I think the sickening-sweet visuals of the candy store employee tossing goodies to kids with real contempt for dental hygine would make for a good video. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/icons/icon19.gif

Found this on another bulletin board (I wish it were original to me, but I can't claim it):

Who can take a country,
turn the clock way back?
cover all its women
and subject it to attack?
The Taliban can, the Taliban can

Oh, the Taliban makes
Everything it Takes
Subject to the will of Allah

Knock down a gigantic Buddha
talk about the latest fatwa

Who can host Osama?
Play some hide and seek?
Would'a, could'a, should'a
now your sh-t is up a creek

The Taliban .... The Taliban....

Hmmmm, a knock-off of a knock-off where never the parties shall meet.

You can credit the author if you know where it came from.

I found a couple songs listed on AudioGalaxy.com called "Taliban Song", so hope they're possibly similar parodies to the Sammy D. song, but a couple of them are already copyright-restricted. Downloading them asap before they get restricted too!

Well, since it was on a forum like this, I don't know their real name, but his screen name is QWYJIBO. URL: http://www.planetsucksinteractive.co...um/dcboard.cgi
Forum: DCForumID94
Thread Number: 135

at the forum board, heading politics, subheading Nine Eleven, thread title Caption This (currently at the bottom of the first page, in danger of moving to page 2) It's post #16 on this topic.

Where ever you move in that forum, the url stays the same. There must be a way to direct to a specific page there, but darned if I can figure it out. If I do, I'll re-post here.

Anyway, it's still the same, someone with a screen name of QWYJIBO wrote it. I wish I'd written it!

Okay, I think I figured it out. Try this link, scroll down to post #16 (they're threaded, so it's not the sixteenth post).

I was viewing the pages in framed format. *Smacks forehead with heel of hand.*

Still couldn't find it. once you are where the lyrics are, couldn't you just cut and paste that address?

I'm spoiled by the way Hostboard is set up.

found seven "different" songs.

Two of them were repeats of the same rastafarian song I posted before.

The remainders are:
Brian's Music - The Mr. Taliban Song
Fresh and Juicy - The Taliban Song
The Taliban - song
tbc - The Mr. Taliban Song
America CD - The Taliban Song 1

...but those users haven't been online in days. They might be copies of the same song I already have, but they might also be covers of the Sammy D. song. Won't know until they download....

Thanks Tard, I was in the hospital when you first posted this, and I missed seeing it when I first got out.

The one flaw with all our songs is the phrase...The Taliban Can.....

It gives a positive vibe to a negative entity.
