Make Minnesota Alabama

Speaking of classic rock parodies, here's our latest effort.

Make Minnesota Alabama
(Sung to the tune of Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd)


Wing nuts keep on turnin'
Our noise machine creates a din
Bloggers want to make Minnesota
Into Alabamy on a whim
And I think it's a win, yes

Well, I heard City Pages whine about 'em
Well, I heard the Strib put 'em down
Well, I hope these rags will remember
New media man don't need 'em around anyhow

Make Minnesota Alabama
Where the taxes are so few
Make Minnesota Alabama
We don't care 'bout burnin schools

In St. Paul we praised the governor
And it's true we raised a few
Slashing budgets does not bother me
Long as Tim provides the brew
Funny 'cause it's true!

Make Minnesota Alabama
Where the taxes are so few
Make Minnesota Alabama
Shut up granny, eat your dog food!

Now Stillwater has got the convicts
Boo, boo, boo
And they can clean the highways too
Unions workers makin' way too much
To be pickin' up after me and you
Tell the truth

Make Minnesota Alabama
Where the taxes are so few
Make Minnesota Alabama
Ain't willing to pay for a better you
