Boomer Anthems Rewritten: The Age of Hysteria / Smoke that crackpipe

When the loons’ clog up the People’s House,
And their election’s doom is in the stars,
Then hate will rule the DemoProgs,
As their enn-vee fills up their bars!
This is the dawning of the Age of Hysteria
Age of Hysteria
Hysteria!
Hysteria!

Disharmony, misunderstanding
Power thirst and lust abounding
Brewed from falsehoods and derisions
Golden showers form their visions
Mystic socialists’ revelation
And the mind’s true subjugation…
Hysteria…!!!
Hysteria….!!!!!!!!!!!

Smooooke that crackpipe, Smoke that crackpipe, the crackpipe
Smooooke that crackpipe, Smoke that crackpipe, the crackpipe
Smooooke that crackpipe, Smoke that crackpipe, the crackpipe
Oh, smoke that chillum chillens, c’mon!
Now everybody just smoke along

Let the crack in!
Open up your head and let the crack on in
When you are lonely, the crack on in
Got to open up your head and let the crack smoke in
And when you know you’ve been defeated
And your country turns away
Just open your head, and let that crack smoke in!

    You want the educated opinion of a guy who has done 450 or so parodies in the past 10 years? This is really, really good

    Can I post this over at The Peoples Karaoke … in your name, of course

    Of course you may, Lennie. I’m flattered.

    (Now I just gotta twiddle the scansion a leetle bit more I see.)

    Goes very well with the original music, Gerard. Gotta love your lyrics, too. Good job!

    I remember the song well! Your image of these progressive loons filling their heads with crack to get away from reality is so appropriate!

    The original line “And love will steer the stars” is sung luh-uvv so it’s 2 notes connected by a slur on the sheet music, perhaps giving “As enn-vee fills their bars”. Is that an alcohol or a cell phone reference?

    But I think that this is pretty darn awesome anyway. So I linked you.

    Excellent!

    @Drew – maybe it’s their bars of envy like game characters have bars of mana/energy/rage/etc. – after all, aren’t they NPCs?

  • Vanderleun October 1, 2019, 8:32 AM

    You’re right, Drew. I’ll fix that.

  • Callmelennie October 1, 2019, 9:16 AM

    The deed is done, Comrade Gerard. Your lyrical hooliganism is now immortalized at the Cube

    There was a second (repeat) stanza in the original release, so I took the liberty …

    I like that variation.

    “When the loons clog up the People’s House
    Election doom is in the stars
    Then shrieks will rule the Demoproggs
    As their envy fill up their bars
    This is the dawning of the Age of Hysteria
    The Age of Hysteria
    Hysteria! …… Hysteri-AH

    Disharmony, misunderstanding
    Power thirst and lust abounding
    Brewed from falsehoods and derision
    Golden showers form their vision
    Mystic socialist revelation
    And the mind’s true subjugation
    Hysteria! …… Hys-TER-iah!!

    When the loons defile our sacred House
    And GOPs align with Mahers
    Then Tlaibs will drive the panics
    And rage will steer Omars
    This is the dawning of the Age of Hysteria
    The Age of Hysteria-ah
    Hysteria …Hysteria …. Hysteria …….

    Smoke the crackpipe …smoke the crackpipe .. the crackpipe
    Smoke the crackpipe .. smoke the crackpipe ..the crackpipe
    Smoke the crackpipe .. smoke the crackpipe .. the crackpipe

    Now everybody just smoke along …Let the crack in
    Open up.your mind; let the crack on
    When you are lonely; let the crack on in
    Got to open up your head, let the crack on in
    And when you’re feeling defeated
    And the normies turn away
    Open up your head, let the crack flow in ….”
