Donald Trump debuts new walk-on song

[jmowreader]

READING, PA (Spurious News Network) -- Former president, current Republican presidential contender and convicted felon Donald Trump has had a complex history with music at his rallies. No sooner does he choose a new song, never paying royalties or requesting permission from the artists who made them famous, than he is ordered to cease using it.

At today's sparsely-attended rally in this western Pennsylvania city, Trump dove headlong into the world of heavy metal by playing Iron Maiden's "The Prisoner."

"You have to love great American music," Trump said. "This all-American band has produced some of the greatest music in the history of rock and roll since the early 1950s, and I'm proud to feature their songs in my campaign to make America great again."

Iron Maiden is a famous British heavy metal band founded in 1980.

The lyrics of The Prisoner are...well, interesting for a presidential campaign. Among them are the lines "do what I want, I do as I please" and "I'm not a prisoner, I'm a free man."

Contacted for comment, Iron Maiden founder and bassist Steve Harris could only laugh. "Maiden? American? There aren't enough drugs in the world to think that. As for his not being a prisoner but a free man...that'll change soon. And no, we didn't give him permission and our cease-and-desist order is being written as we speak."

9. Some people actually just skim headings

I usually check links. It’s just nice to see that there is a certain subsection that only exists to correct the rest of us. We probably need to be admonished also.

5. What, he ditched SCHUBERT's Ave Maria from his playlist? Gotta hand it to him, he

just wants to be a D.J. social director at Merde a Loco, and he picks the show stoppers like Nessum Dorma/Pavarotti and such.
