Do real villains sing and dance? Did Ivan the Terrible waltz about his palace singing, "I'm the incredible, inconceivable, ideal...insane Ivan man!"How about Santa Ana and his Mexican army? "We don't like, What we don't understand, In fact it scares us, And these gringos are mysterious at least, Bring your guns, Bring your knives, Save your children and your wives, We'll save our paiz and our lives, Matamos los Texanos!" Then they start spinning their bayonets like batons and kicking their legs in the air.
Nothing purges a villain of fear and respect like a well-choreographed dance.
And so I like to imagine al Qaeda, deep in their mountain lair, twirling around in perfect synchronization and singing, "What can you expect, From filthy little heathens? Their whole disgusting race is like a curse, Their skin's a hellish white, They're only good when dead, They're vermin, as I said, And worse, They're infidels! Infidels! Barely even human, Infidels! Infidels! Drive them from our shore! They're not like you and me, Which means they must be evil, We must sound the drums of Jihad! Kill the infidels!"
Is the last one to the tune of the Pocahontas song?
ReplyDeleteThose KKK in "O Brother Where Art Thou" weren't nearly as scary when dancing and singing.
That would be a sight to see. You should write that in to a playwright and see what they do with it. They could call it terrorists on ice.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they will take up your verse as a battle cry--you'll be famous!
