Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight, sugar bear

For some reason, when I saw the post "Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight," I thought of Elton John's song. And a parody was born.

When I think of the public option, want it now
Don't know why some folks are so scared
Prima Donnas, man they act like we won't care
Sitting like a prisoner perched in the electric chair
And it's a wink and a nod then they don't hear you anymore
He drives me crazy lately
My friends don't want to go out door to door any more

And Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight, sugar bear
You thought you had your hooks in me, didn't you
You nearly had my vote sewn up
On your side, hypnotized
Then at the debate, what do I hear?
I'm a thinking voter, and voters are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye

I never realized the passing days of this long campaign
A slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your bumbling talk
Becoming a McDonnell ad on my TV screen
It's two weeks to the Election, Damn it listen to me good
I'm thinking for myself tonight
It's our time, thank God Obama's still leading

But Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight, did you hear?
You thought you had your hooks in me, didn't you
You nearly had my vote sewn up
On your side, hypnotized
Then at the debate, what do I hear?
I'm a thinking voter, and voters are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye


And I would have walked through the rain or snow for Obama
Clinging to my hope and change
I'm opting out of your support forever
Don't try to write, email or call me on the phone

Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight
Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight
Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight
Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight
Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight
Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight
So save your strength and we'll have to fight another day


And Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight, did you hear?
You thought you had your hooks in me, didn't you
You nearly had my vote sewn up
On your side, hypnotized
Then at the debate, what do I hear?
I'm a thinking voter, and voters are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye


Creigh Deeds lost, Creigh Deeds lost, Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight
Creigh Deeds lost, Creigh Deeds lost, Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight
Creigh Deeds lost, Creigh Deeds lost, Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight
Creigh Deeds lost, Creigh Deeds lost, Creigh Deeds lost my vote tonight

And a video of the inspiration.

Don't give up your day job.


I enjoy your satire, but just the same, I still see Mr. deeds as being the better choice for our next Governor.

Mr. McDonnell is a pawn for the big multinationals who have looted Virginia and sent our manufacturing jobs off to China.

Creigh Deeds has a record, a mile long, of standing-up for the Working Man.

I trust Creigh to lead us back to prosperity.
