Song of the Week

What About Ford?
By Bom Tarclay and the Almonte Highlanders


(To the tune of Heart’s ‘What About Love?)

Ive been angry
Ive been paying for you
You’ve been spending,
And thats all you can do
The cash I’m sending
To Dodge and GM breaks my heart (emote – sad)

You’ve been crying,
saying profits are low,
Always trying
to get my tax dough
You got it now and you’re well
On the way to the top
But there’s something that you forgot: (emote – angry)

What about Ford?
Don’t you know they drive circles ‘round you
What about Ford?
Don’t let Ford slip away
What about Ford?
I only want to share cash with blue!
We might need Ford someday (emote – a single tear)

You can’t tell me what I’m feeling inside
You can’t sell me what I don’t want to buy
Hand-out missing, Ford is poised on
The edge of a knife
You know something here just ain’t right! (emote – very angry hillbilly in a tax rage)

What about Ford?
Don’t you know they drive circles ‘round you
What about Ford?
Don’t let Ford slip away
What about Ford?
I only want to share cash with blue!

What about Ford?
Don’t you know they drive circles ‘round you
What about Ford?
Dont let Ford slip away
What about Ford?
I only want to share cash with blue!

Oh ho… (emote – mild howling)
What about…
What about…
Ho Oh… (emote – howling)
What about Ford…
What about..
Ho oh oh oh …(emote – serious howling)
What about…
Ford…
What about …
FORD!!!
Whooohhh ohh a hooo hooo…. (emote –howling like a dog with his crank caught in a V8)

Not bad. Better than your usual work by a long piece. Well done!

You should send this song to Anderson Cooper - I bet he'd feature it on his program.

The reason you prefer this one is that Ford is mentioned. This is sad, since the comedic subtext is supposed to be based on an EXAGERATED devotion to the Ford brand.

You may, in fact, actually be sick.

Seek help.

And stop mentioning him!
