The First Parody Project Post - Don Caron ft. Linda Gower - Parody Project




Parody Project's very first post, from 2017. It is somewhat disturbing that six years later it is still completely relevant and accurate, with the possible exception that Fox isn't quite as enthusiastic about him after their multi-million dollar fine. One would have hoped that by now it would be obsolete. Art Garfunkel played by Don Caron; Paul Simon played by Linda Gower.

Executive Producers Don Caron and Jerry Pender


LYRICS to CONFOUNDS THE SCIENCE (Written by Don Caron)

Hello darkness my old friend.
It’s time for him to tweet again,
but first he’ll have to check in with fox news
‘cause that’s the only place he gets his clues.
That’s how things get planted in his brain,
where they remain,
and it confounds the science.

The problem is he’s not alone.
He tweets to people on his phone
that global warming is a giant hoax
perpetuated by the liberal folks,
and he hires people that all think the same,
that play his game
and it confounds the science.

When he talks to crowds of four
he sees ten thousand maybe more,
believing they all think he’s god on earth
and was the product of a virgin birth
and if you disagree you’re the victim of fake news
or feminist shrews
and it confounds the science.

“Fools," says he, "you do not know
it makes me smart from so much dough.
I know exactly where the problems are."
But his solutions are beyond bizarre
‘cause his words never quite a sentence make
and thus he spake
and it confounds the science.

No limits on pollution now.
There’s not a thing we don’t allow.
Dump the garbage in the waterway.
Spray the toxins where your children play.
All the signs say that life on the planet is headed for a downward fall.
Go to the mall,
and continue to confound the science.

but had never seen that one. As with most of them, it was very well done. Agreed that it is somewhat disturbing that 6 or 7 years later the lyrics are still completely relevant and accurate.
