Well, the angry Hillary supporter really hit a nerve when she said that she was tired of being called 'White' when she couldn't call Obama 'Black.' Made me think of when I was growing up and many times heard the term 'Honky' (see an old episode of All in the Family or the Jeffersons). So, here is Elton John's Honky Cat...reworked for Obama.
When we look back
Boy, he must have been green
Hopping cross the country
And the voters screamed
Looking for an answer, tryin' for color-blind
Until we saw your Reverend Wright
Honey, we was blind.
He Said Get Back Honky Cat
Better get back from our 'hood'
You should quit your clinging to those redneck things
and oh, mmmmmmm oh the Change is gonna do you good.
They said Get Back Honky Cat
Voting for Obama is where it's at
You're just trying to find truth in a guilty mind
It's like, not so very risky, Oh buy into my whine.
Well I
read some books and I saw some magazines
About that big debacle down in New Orleans
And all the Democrats well, said I was a tool
They said, Don't you think that Bush is just a bigger fool?
Get back Honky Cat
Better get back from our hood
You should quit your clinging to those redneck things
And Oh, mmmmmmmm Oh the Change is gonna do you good.
(Piano riff)
Get back Honky Cat
Better get back from our hood
You should quit your clinging to those redneck things
And Oh mmmmmmm Oh the Change is gonna do you good.
They said go back home
Boy, our campaign's full of charm
Living History ain't enough, Hill has bought the farm
But how to vote Yea, when our heart says NO
How can he get our vote when he's just BO?
Get Back Honky Cat
Better get back from our hood
You should Quit your clinging to your Redneck things
And oh, aaahhhhhh Oh the Change is gonna do you good.
You'd better Get back Honky Cat
Voting for Obama is where it's at
You're just trying to find truth in a guilty mind
It's like, not so very risky, oh just buy into my whine!
Get Back Honky Cat, Get Back Honky Cat, Get Back OOOOOO!
(repeat)
