Everyone! Look over here! Ray Stevens is completely sucking again!

Extra sucky Ray Stevens, not-even-close-to-famous for his awful, awful 70’s novelty hit “The Streak,” is back again to prove why wingnuts will never, ever be capable of taking over the music industry. In his latest jag rag for teabaggin’ jerkoffs, Stevens pays homage to Sarah Palin, but according to Ray’s publicist Elroy, who is obviously editing Steven’s Wikipedia page, the satire is sooooo skillfully crafted that anti-Palin people might be fooled:

This music video is about Sarah Palin and it takes the derogatory phrase caribou barbie and twists it around as a compliment. The video uses a Palin impersonator and through the help of sight-gags it takes aim at several high profile newscasters on cable television. The video also parodies Sarah Palin’s image and it’s possible that those who do not like Palin will perhaps misinterpret the song’s meaning as an attack on the former Alaskan Governor instead of hearing it as a pro-Palin message, which it is.

Watch this at your own peril. Stevens has plans for you, Obot.

Ray doesn’t scare me.

On the other hand, undead novelty-rock pioneer Gary S. Paxton, Sr. (of “Alley Oop” and “Monster Mash” fame) frightens the fuck out me. He keeps posting links to his “Vote-‘Em Out Boogie” on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page, claiming it’s the unofficial theme song of the Tea Party Express.

If you’re collecting crappy wingnut party tunes by fossilized C&W artists of yesteryear, “Boogie” is a gotta-have.

I’m surprised he hasn’t updated his classic Ahab The Arab

I thought Ray Stevens died a long time ago. No, wait, that was his talent…

Doesn’t something have to live before it can die?

I was wondering the same thing when I saw that listed on his Wikipedia page. He can get Pamela Shrugs to dance seductively in the remake!

Sarah the Terrah
The queen of the frozen slopes

Yep. “Ahab” would actually be pretty easy to rewrite.

This is painful on so many levels..

from the very sad Sarah Palin impersonator (I get five o’clock shadow by 9:30 in the morning, and I still think I could do a better SP)

to playing fast and loose with the facts (yeah, she fired a cook, but she took a per diem and travel expenses to NOT live in Juneau where HER JOB WAS… and yeah, she saved what $50k a year on the chef but she was still feeding at the $400 million Bridge to Nowhere trough).. Lipstick!

I can’t wait for the wikipedia police to clean up the “it’s possible that those who do not like Palin will perhaps misinterpret the song’s meaning as an attack on the former Alaskan Governor” conjecture…

Pity—I liked Ray S’s “Gitarzan” ... when I was, um, ten years old.

And as for Gary Paxton, you do know he had some sort of involvement with Tammy Faye Bakker, right? And also that he looks terrifying these days?

...exactly when did moose start making cow noises upon being shot?

Great googly moogly! That sets new standards of awful.

I couldn’t watch it may stomach is already a little upset from the Irish Whiskey that was forced on me last night.

Comment by Jamie on 03/15/10 at 01:38 PM

I couldn’t watch. I was too busy throwing up in my mouth. I thought I was tougher. My mistake.

If you can’t make it through all the twangin’ and lyin’, at least stop off at 1:51 to see Stevens’ wingnut fantasy photoshop. You betcha!

Wait. Was that Palin with a . . . dog collar on? *rubs eyeballs*

Comment by marindenver on 03/15/10 at 04:10 PM

marin, not just a dog collar, but something that looks like it was borrowed from the “Prison Bitch” segment of Lady Gaga’s latest video.

BTW, “cut taxes like Paul Bunyan cleared the forest” is exactly how I’d describe it too: a tall tale. The “MOOO!” we heard just after the gunshot, however, was real enough; now Bristol’s got a Babe-y Blue coat.

But the song’s totally worth it just for
