Does anyone remember Van Halen's JUMP?

[DFW]

A friend in Sprout City suggested I do a song to that tune.

If we can find a David Lee Roth soundalike, should we record it? I'd bet our videographer would have a field day.....

TRUMP (Jump)

I am rich! But the press calls me a clown
And I am tough! The toughest president around
And Putin knows, baby just how I feel
I see the po-o-olls, and I know what they say can’t be real

Oh can’t you tell I’m so much smarter
Than Ms. Maddow or that slick Howard Dean
I am the best that I’ve seen
And my daughter’s so keen

So yell out Trump (TRUMP!)
Come on, yell Trump!
Donald Trump (TRUMP!)
Bow down to Trump.

Давай („Da-VAI“)! Khey you! Who said that?
Putie, how you been?
Can’t pay you back, I’m flat broke so just don’t begin
Now, you have seen my tax returns
I’ve got my back to the proverbial wall
Don’t even bother to call
‘Cause there’s no money at all!

Poor Donald Trump (TRUMP!)
King of Debt Trump
All shout Trump (TRUMP!)
I am the great Trump.

(Breaks)

So yell out Trump (TRUMP!)
Come on and yell Trump!
Donald Trump (TRUMP!)
Bow down to Trump.

1. The 1984 Chicago Cubs played it at Wrigley Field before each game!

[LOL Lib]

2. It's good but not derisive enough.

Change trump to Chump or Dump.
Work in tiny hands, mail order wife, losing popular vote, golden showers, etc.

Just my 2 cents.

3. Might need more verses..

... to cover it all! LOL And I agree that a derisive rhyme or two could be used in there.

But this is a mighty fine start to a future parody classic!

Make this happen!

5. You are probably right about more verses

I already added an extra verse to our killer version of George Benson's version of On Broadway (did you hear that one yet?).

So doing this one might warrant one too. No reason to try to top Eddie Van Halen's solo anyway, although our lead guitarist REALLY gave Benson a run for his money on our Trump version of "In D.C."

7. Haven't heard that.

Is there a link?

11. Lol

"Can't you see me laying in a puddle of pee?
I'm the worst that you've seen...
I love Russian hooker Peeeeeeeeee!"

Not very good but I'm sure a creative guy like DFW can jazz it up.

4. OK, thanks for the input

This is not a done deal yet, so I can still tinker.

[LOL Lib]

10. I love the parody idea!

You are def onto a good song too.

Might as well Dump!
Take a Dump on Trump...
Go ahead and Dump!
Dump on the Chump!

6. Hell yeah I remember Jump!

Classic Van Halen is best. Roth originals. Hagar- meh!

I liked your parody! More versus? Sure!
Much more thumping!

[Beartracks]

8. Heh, wasn't that part of The Donald's campaign theme?

"Might as well Trump!"

As in: What do you have to lose?
