Whenever I see those composite images of political opponents photoshopped to look like they’re facing off for war I can’t help but imagine that they’re just about to kiss. Today’s ABC Online image of John and Kevin is no different.
So given that there’s a definite summer feel in Melbourne’s air today, and that John and Kevin will election-lovin’ this summer, it’s time for some Summer Lovin’.
Summer lovin’ had me a blast
Summer lovin’, happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
I met a boy, cute as can beSummer days driftin’ away To uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?Tell me more, tell me more
Like, does he have a car?
She swam by me, she got a cramp
He went by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing aroundSummer sun, something’s begun Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up a fight?
Took her bowlin’ in the Arcade
We went strollin’, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
we stayed up until ten o’clockSummer fling don’t mean a thing Tell me more, tell me more
But you don’t gotta bragTell me more, tell me more
Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly, holdin’ my hand
Well she got friendly, down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
Well she was good, you know what I meanSummer heat, boy and girl meet Tell me more, tell me more
How much dough did he spend?Tell me more, tell me more
Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder, that’s where it ends
So I told her we’d still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she’s doin’ nowSummer dreams ripped at the seams

ahahaha that’s terrible. you didn’t even change the words to have a political bent. the extra mile you went with the group photo at the end was doubly bad.
A+

Keating: The Musical - eat your heart out. The Ed, quit your job. You’ve found your calling.

Just think of the time you spent formatting that post - and think of what else you might have been doing.

That’s a depressing thought. It was 20 degrees outside, apparently.

Really needs a “more-below-the-fold” me thinks. Pretty long post.
Funny but.

We need a follow-up, maybe…
“Hopelessly I voted for you”
“Look at me, I’m Alex D.” or
“You’re the One Nation I Want”

[...] graphical take on the politics of bad Grease songs is delicious but not easily reproduced, so all we can do is direct readers to the site. Catallaxy’s Heath G put his photographic skills to good use with the lunar [...]

Fundamentally disturbing.
And also way too many pics of Abbott.

Ed, that was beautiful and horrible. We are all very proud.
Oh, and Bridget? This:
was freaking brilliant.

I second that motion about Bridget’s extreme LOL-ness.

This musical would never work. Apart from Gillard, and Downer when he gets “passionate”, there are way too many low voices.
You need to cast more chicks in this production. Not much of a choice in Canberra though.

You’re a complete loony, Ed. I’m glad.
