If we can’t sing Heart’s “Barracuda,” then let’s build…er write our own!

Let's follow Sam Walton's lead

RESIZE: AAA

I remember a story about why Wal-Mart created its own soft drink brands. As the story went, Pepsi and Coca-Cola tried to gouge Sam Walton. Sam responded by making his own soft-drink brand for sale at Wal-Marts.

If Hasbeen…er, Heart won’t let the GOP use their song titled “Barracuda,” then fine. We can write our own.

Read on

We have John Rich, of Big and Rich and the author of “Rasing McCain,” to write it.

We have Sarah Palin and/or Gretchen Wilson to sing it.

If we need narrations to go along with it, we have Kelsey Grammer and Powers Boothe and Gary Sinise and Robert Davi.

What more do we need?

Has Heart copyrighted the word “barracuda?” I doubt it. Fine, then.

Let’s write our own song about Sarah Barracuda. I’ll bet it will be much more popular than Hasbeen’s version.

Let the signal be given. Unleash hell.

That’s all.

    I see that “” doesn’t do what it used to do.

    Oh well. Don’t worry—I can be trained.

    That would be a good song title. I did a search on all songs with barracuda in them and came up near empty (there’s one by the Clash but the lyrics were not in favor). The only one repsectable is by Fountains of Wayne; I cannot find a video for it…

    The Valley Of Malls lyrics

    The King of Araby is coming home
    It’s bumper touching bumper on the motorway
    The sun is in the sky just now
    But the road is grey
    They drive in Winnebagos from the Everglades
    Pulled over by the troopers in the mirror shades
    The Caravan is sorry
    The driver has a twenty and change

    And we’re leaving all the road for dead
    We’re getting tired of the twists and turns
    You gotta go when human nature calls
    We’re driving, we’re driving
    Through the valley of malls
    And God forgive the passengers if we should fail

    To find a penny fountain of a half-off sale
    I need a merchant
    I’ve just started searching for the Holy Grail
    Fighting for the freedom from a common bond
    To be a barracuda in the guppy pond
    So little time for so many things to try on

    And we’re leaving all the road for dead
    We’re getting tired of the twists and turns
    You gotta go when human nature calls
    We’re driving, we’re driving
    Through the valley of malls
