The Bowling Green Fabrication Society

about

So, this is a TINY bit out of my wheelhouse. I don't usually (or, honestly, EVER) do a politically themed song, but given the circumstances, I couldn't resist.

Last Thursday, Kellyanne Conway mentioned "The Bowling Green Massacre": an event that, well...never happened. The internet took it and ran, posting remembrances and stories from the frontlines of an event that didn't exist, and someone even started a benefit fundraiser page for the "victims".

I figured this would be great fodder for a parody of the Kinks song "The Village Green Preservation Society". I recorded this with the help of Nuclear Bubble Wrap, and with apologies to Ray Davies.

lyrics

We are the Bowling Green Fabrication Society
We made up a massacre of the racist variety
We are the Desperate Don Appreciation Society
Ignoring political experience and his sexual impropriety

Preserving the old ways from being misused
Protecting the rights for those that abuse
What more can we do

We are the Bowling Green Remembrance Society
Where we charged the unicorns with some large machinery
We are the Bowling Green Massacre Recreationists
Shooting rayguns at androids and other things that don't exist

Ooooh (X2)

We are the 6th Platoon Infantry of Bowling Green
And we swear that this is true and not some dummy's fever dream
We are the Bowling Green Fabrication Society
We fabricate this "tragedy" with fear and anxiety
We are the Alternative Facts Instigators
Trust us to tell you the real truth, so you can thank us later

Preserving the memory from being forgot
Protecting Americans from those that are not
And that's quite a lot

God save our Bowling Green.
