George Santos (Marty Robbins 'El Paso' song parody)

The story of George Santos is so epic and bizarre it should only be told in the form of a Western ballad. To the tune of "El Paso" by Marty Robbins.

Lyrics:

Up in New York was a man named George Santos
He ran for Congress in the borough of Queens
This was a time when the people were restless
A time after face masks and long quarantines

There was one problem for this young Brazilian:
His background was boring with no résumé
He needed something to interest the voters
He’d make up some stories and claim that he’s gay

One night Republican donors came in,
With checkbooks and money for him,
They asked him, “are you gay?”
So he baked them a souffle
And sang them some showtunes
as if that was proof

And they asked him, if
He could do something ‘bout being Latino
‘Cause with the New York GOP that won’t fly
Their challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat;
He said “What if I’m Jew-ish” with a wink in his eye

As a matter of fact my own grandmother perished,
She was brutally murdered in Hitler’s war crimes,
And wait ‘till you hear what became of my mother,
It turns out that she has died multiple times

Then as November’s election approached,
The GOP offered advice
Don’t talk immigration
Just mention inflation
And for God’s sake don’t mention your mother died twice

And it turned out that
Voters elected that man named George Santos
But they did not know just who they voted for
And they left all the rest of us in quite a quandary
As we all figure out how to show him the door.

[caronstout]

Every step he takes,
Every law he brakes,
Every claim he makes,
Every lie he states
We'll be dissing him!

[franktroici]

This is priceless. With all due respect to Marty Robbins, this parody is just beautiful.

[mstsp]

Congress is probably his longest gig so far too. Great song!

[johnnyfreedom]

Even without Bobby Weir singing, That was fantastic and I can't wait for the ending to be written! That'll be about the time they lock him up!!

[morenofranco]

Excellent, Patrick. Just nails this ding-a-ling Santos' grift scheme.

[Midlife_Manical_Mayhem]

i saw the beginning lyrics in the thumbnail in my suggestions and IMMEDIATELY knew what tune it was to. hahahahah. this is funny.

[mycents]

He represents Queen's. This just keeps getting better.

[donaldjones]

Nicely done. One of my favorite songs as a child. You even kept one of the original lines in...."their challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat".

[dunning-krugereffect]

This should be played on a loop in the halls of Congress. At least in their cafeteria.

[cymbolichuman]

You have a pretty voice...I loved your originality in the subtitles.
And of course, great rythmics and poetry.

How does this only have 1, 000 views?!

[SpinX]

He was recently accused by a male staffer of sexual harassment and inappropriate touching, so he may actually be gay.

[DavidNewmanDr]

I really like the setting to a western ballad for a mentirosa.

[abduktedtemplar]

If I’m ever in the same space as santos, I’m getting this song on loudspeaker

[shoresean]

"...onto the talk shows and to pundits he fled; Looking for something to fly; But even sometimes quite enabling Fox hosts; found it challenging to keep up with his lies..."

Funniest El Paso since Steve Martin's AMV.

[eranfry]

One of the best songs I‘be heard in a long long time. Thank you for making my day lol loved it!

[vhobbs]

This is what’s become of the Republican Party. I’m old enough to remember a party that I could disagree with but respect nevertheless.

[birbluv]

I am watching him on the day he’s been expelled from Congress. Your song is a gem!

[RarelyRachelRarelyMe]

Nice touch putting Randy Rainbow in there!

[michaeljmcdonough]

Fantastic. Can't believe there aren't more George Santos (or Anthony Devolder, or Kitira Ravache) songs out there. I did a Matt Gaetz song awhile ago to Jesse's Girl.
