DISCLAIMER
If you are sentitive regarding the issues at hand with the presidential election, ESPECIALLY if you are a sympathizer of Al Gore's cause and CANNOT TAKE A JOKE, DO NOT READ PAST THE RED LINE. Do not even bother to send us hate mail concerning this one-time political piece in the spirit of Alice's Restaurant. We won't even read it.

This song is based off of Arlo Guthrie's anti-Vietnam War protest song, "Alice's Restaurant." We don't claim it's accurate, or even halfway decent. But here it is. If you've never heard the song, I suggest you go to Napster and download it. (Oops, did I say that? -- no Napster flames either, thank you.) It's a classic.

This is a song called Scandal... it's about Scandal... and a Scandal involving Scandal... so that's why the song is called Scandal.
We can find Scandal in anything we want even Rikishi’s butt
We can find Scandal in anything we want even Rikishi’s butt
Now it all started three days ago, that's three days ago on Monday Night Raw when my Editor-in-Chief and I went to find the truth at
< >
< > Kid, what's in that garbage can? | So that’s what we did.
Now friends, there was only one or two things Mr. Dotson could a done at Vince’s office and the first was he could have yelled at us for trying to find the truth -- which wasn't very likely, and we didn't expect it.
And the other thing was he could have bawled us out and told us never to be seen around a WWF event again, which is what we expected, but when we got to Vince’s Office there was a third possibility that we hadn't counted upon, and we was both immediately arrested, handcuffed, and I said, "Mr. Dotson I can’t write the truth with these handcuffs on."
< >
He said "Shut up, kid. Follow me out to the Patrol Car". < > < >And that's what we did, we followed him out to the patrol car and < >We drove to the quote “Base of our operations” unquote. (Which was a long drive, because it’s in Michigan, over 10 hours away by patrol car, which we drove). | < >
< >I want tell you about the town of Newport, Michigan where this is all based out of. They got three stop signs, one gay librarian, and one police car with a policeman, but when we got to the ‘Base of our operations’ there was five police officers in three police cars, and still one gay librarian, being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it.
<
>And they was using up all kinds of cop equipment they had hanging around the police officer's station. They was taking plastic tire track, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and they took twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used in evidence against us. They took pictures of the approach, the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to mention the aerial photography of the basement, where our “Base of operations” is located. |
< > |
< >
< >"Kid, we don't want any hangings" I said, "Mr. Dotson, did you think I was going to hang myself for getting caught by you?" Mr. Dotson said he was making sure, and paranoid Mr. Dotson was, cause he took out the toilet seat so I couldn't hit him over the head and get out, and he took out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars throw out the roll of toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape.
< >
< > Mr. Dotson was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that the Scandal staff, (Yes there are more of us! At Scandal), came by and with a few nasty words to Mr. Dotson on the said, bailed us out of jail, and we went back to our Base of Operations, did a web page update that could not be beat, and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.
< >
< >We walked in, sat down. Mr. Dotson came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, sat down. Man came in said all rise. We stood up, and Mr. Dotson stood up with the twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures and the judge walked in sat down with the Seeing Eye dog, and he sat down, we sat down. Mr. Dotson looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog. And then at twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and am paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry, cause Mr. Dotson had come to the realization that this was a typical case of American blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each on explaining what each one was to be used in evidence against us. And we was fined $50 and had to apologize to the WWF for being such a pain in the ass, but that’s not what I came to tell you about. |
< >We got a county down in Florida, it’s called Palm Beach County. And during the
prepresidential campaign, the candidates went down there to get inspected, detested incested neglected and hopeflully selected.
< >I went down to vote one day, back in November and I walked in to the voting booth and
< >sat down. I got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my
< >best when I went in that morning. Cause I wanted to make my choice for
prepresident the all
< >American way, man I to feel like the , I wanted to
< >be the all American voter, since every vote counted, and I walked in and I was
< >hungdown brungdown hungup and all kinds o' mean nasty ugly things.
< >
< >And I waked in and sat down and they gave me a piece of paper and said
< >"Kid, you got to punch this here hole out to vote for
president."
< >
< >I went into the booth and punched the hole out of the paper, then came back out and said to the voter guy, and I thought I’d be real cute, and I said, "I don’t think I did the ballot right. I think I voted for Snoopy instead of Al Gore. I wanna vote again. I want to vote, I wanna I wanna
< >vote. Vote. I wanna I wanna to keep voting till Al Gore wins. Sue the other candidates all the way up to heaven. I mean revote, revote,REVOTE,REVOTE!!!" and I
< >started jumpin up and down yelling REVOTE REVOTE, and he started jumpin up
< >and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling "REVOTE! REVOTE!".And then Al Gore came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the
< >hall, said “That’s a good idea. Thanks for it".
< >
< >Didn't feel too good about it.

four Weeks… It was on there for a long time going through all kind's of mean |
< >
< >And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Scandal
< >Massacre, with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like
< >that and suddenly he stopped me right there and said "Kid,did you ever
< >go to court?".
< >
< >I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty-seven
< >eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and
< >the paragraph on the back of each one, and he stopped me right there
< >and said "Kid, I want you to go and sit over there on that bench called
G W. NOW!".
< >
And I walked over to the bench there ,and
there's
G W, named after the opposing candidate, which is |

I < >"Trespassing at a WWF Event". And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and a

< >know-the-voting-official’s-name-and-then-every-kind-of-thing-you
< >gotta-say", and talked for fourty-five minutes and nobody
< >understood a word that he said, but we had fun
reading the appeal
< >and playing with the pencils on the bench there, and I filled out the
< >massacre with the four part harmony, wrote it down there, just like it
< >was, and I put down the pencil,and turned over the piece of paper, and
< >there there on the other side.
< >In the middle of the other side.
< >Away from everything else on the other side.
< >In parentheses.
< >Capital letters.
< >Quotated.
< >Read the following words :
< >"Kid, do you advocate censoring wrestling?"
< >
< >I went over to Al Gore and said "Al, you got a lot a
< >just sittin here, sittin on the
G W bench cause you want to know
< >if I'm
moral enough to talk to you and your backstabbers, censors, and whiny lawyers after being caught
at a WWF event.". He looked at me said "Kid, we don't
< >like your kind , and we're gonna send you fingerprints off to
< >Washington, cause I’m the Vice
President and I can.".
< >And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little
< >folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the
< >only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know
< >somebody in a similar situation, or
you may be in a similar
< >situation,and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing
< >you can do and that's walk into the Democratic Party Office wherever you are, just
< >walk in say
" We can find Scandal in anything we want, even Stone Cold’s truck."
And walk out. You know, if one person, just one person
< >two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both
< >gay and they’d try to put them in jail. And three people , three, can you imagine, three people walking in sing a bar of the Scandal Massacre and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And
< >can you imagine fifty people a day ,I said fifty people a day walking
< >in sing a bar of the Scandal Massacre and walking out. And friends they
< >may thinks it's a movement.
< >
< >And that's what it is , the Scandal Anti-Revote
< >Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it
< >come's around on the guitar.
< >
< >With feeling.
< >So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and
< >sing it when it does. Here it comes.
< >
< >
Hey, it rhymes. Sorta. |
>We can find Scandal in anything we want, even
Rikishi's Butt. < >We can find Scandal in anything we want, even Mick Foley’s Gut. < >We’ll make it up if it’s not true, < >Cause that’s what REAL journalists do! < >We can find Scandal in anything we want, even Edge’s nuts.
|
< >
< >That was horrible. If you want to elect the
president and stuff you got
< >to sing loud.
< >
< >I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I
< >could sing it for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud...
< >... or tired.
< >
< >So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part
< >harmony and feeling.
< >
< >We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing.
< >
< >All right now.
< >We can find Scandal in anything we want, even K-Kwik’s Mutt.
< >"excepting ourselves"
< >We can find Scandal in anything we want, even Rikishi’s Gut.
< >We’ll make it up if it’s not true,
< >Cause that’s what REAL journalists do,
< >We can find Scandal in anything we want, even Mick Foley’s Gut.
In Scandal, the truth is
what we want.
