As a fan of Roy Zimmerman — I've mentioned his Creation Science 101 before, among other lovely songs about the modern world — I have two revelations for you. If you're a guitar player, he has released a short clip that is a tutorial on how to play Creation Science 101. There are fingerings and keys and chords and things that lost me. If you aren't a guitar player (like me!) you can still enjoy the wisecracks.
Secondly, he has a new YouTube video titled "Ted Haggard is Completely Heterosexual". Watch out, it's a little bit risque — he rhymes "schism" with … well, it's obvious from the subject matter, isn't it?

Wow! We've needed this guy since 1965! Acerbic, politically active, polysyllabically-rhyming, and damn funny! His songs really should be played on a show-tunes instrument, a category in which the guitar does not, alas, qualify. So I just imagine he's playing a six-string piano.

Fism? Bism? Lism? Proprietism? Momism? I guess I'll just have to watch.

That's terrific. And the rhymes are syllier than you think.

I love this guy. Jerry Falwell's God is my favourite.

Laurence, that one's brilliant... "Abstain with me" and "Defenders of Marriage" are almost as good. This one's sure funny, but not on par with previous offerings.

I feel stupid. "ted's a little haggard but he's thankful for the schism" ??? what? I don't get it.
Will my "english isn't my native language" excuse fly?
:P

I still don't understand what The Jordan Institution for Standards and Metrology has to do with Ted Haggard?

Between science and religion there ain't no schism,
it's just antidisestablishmentparliamentarianism!

I agree, this guy's the best thing since Tom Lehrer.

.. creationism of course, that's the real 'dirty' word

Thanks, but I suggest that people watch the video. It is far more clever than the implied ryhme for schism.
It may have something to with the delivery, but I actually chortled when he got to that point.

Rhyming schism with syllojism... pardon me, syllogism, is a perfectly innocent jack, er, jerk, er, joke.
Posted by: Carlie | May 9, 2007 8:05 PM
...and he even managed to rhyme it without making a neologism.

Never heard of this guy before, which is too bad because that was funny as hell.
