MUSIC and LYRICS BY Greg “Storm” DiCostanzo and Paul Sabourin

Also starring Bresha Webb and Mike Phirman. Special guests include James Urbaniak (Venture Bros.), Greg Benson (youtube.com/mediocrefilms), Maurissa Tancharoen (Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog), Weird Al Yankovic and many more!

Created by Paul Sabourin, Storm DiCostanzo and Josh Cagan

LYRICS:
Motherhood, family
Baseball and basic courtesy
Picnics in the park
And real Christmas trees

Folks put ’em down or say they’re quaint
But you and I both know they ain’t
So when they tell ya “time to move along”
Tell ’em back “no siree!”

Times may change, but important values? Never!
Tradition needs to be maintained forever
We can do it together

A lovely figure, smiling face
Graceful and quiet and knows her place
Always ready with a double scotch and a BLT

Tender hands to rub your back
Angel in the kitchen, devil in the sack
When the ladies say it’s better now
Ya’ tell ’em back “No siree!”

Safe and quiet neighborhoods
Where everybody speak-a-da English good
No lower-class or Catholic types
Next door to me

Folks took pride in shining shoes
And a whole separate country club for the Jews
When they tell ya things are better now
We both say “No siree!”

Me and you, pal, makin’ the future brighter
Wholesomer, respectfuller, and whiter

Everybody tryin’ to change things ’round
Bring ’em on; together, we’ll take ’em down

Them trigger-happy low-downs, a-fixin’ for a showdown
Hoods and punks and foreigners, slackin’ on the corner
Dirty hippie losers, reefer-weed abusers
Commie pinko fairies, thinkin’ they can scare me
To them we’re gonna say…
“No siree!”

Prophetic Dreams, Spirit, and Xenophobia – LearningTown Ep. 5: Storm

Storm has a dream of wonderful and terrible things. Also, the peppiest song about Xenophobia ever.
