These 13 songs for Boris Johnson will give you the most topical earworms
There’s nothing Twitter does better than mocking the powerful, unless it’s finding funny videos of animals, and writer Will Black is often at the head of the most creative hashtag charges against politicians. His latest is pretty simple – #SingASongForJohnson – and while most of us can’t haul ourselves down to the gates of Downing Street to serenade the PM, anybody can join in with a few cleverly created lyrics.
This is the tweet that set the bar high.
"You're a bum
You're a punk
And you smell like a skunk
Sitting there like a brat
You have screwed up you twat
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy braggart
Happy election your arse
I pray God it's our last"#SingASongForJohnson pic.twitter.com/pafgDT6C5y— Will Black (@WillBlackWriter) September 17, 2019
And here are just a few of the many excellent suggestions.
1.
He left the US with a thirst for money
Studied spaffing as an Eton posh boy
That's when a spy
Caught his eye
"Work for us and you'll be loaded
Make every day a coke filled snowfest"
He said fine
And in 30 seconds timeI want to lie to the common people…#SingASongForJohnson

We don't need no prorogation
We don't need no thoughtless fool
No floppy pillock in the Commons
Please just leave us all alone#SingASongForJohnson— ctamblyn #RegisterToVote (@ctamblyn76) September 17, 2019

Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt us spaffing your pitch?
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die in a ditch?— Tony (@Tony12580807) September 17, 2019

We’re the Tory Party Empty Hearts Club Band
Brexit makes our friends some dough
We’re the Tory Party Empty Hearts Club Band

How I loved to hate Theresa May
Couldn't wait till she was on her way
The worst PM of all, I'd saySuddenly
Prorogation is reality
Boris Johnson's spaffing over me
There's no hope for humanity— Steph Burgess (@StephFBurgess) September 18, 2019

Campfire songs are my deal lately. Here's a new one:
He'll be coming round the mountain when he comes
Or he won't because he bombed out like a bum
Like a bum that always itches
With an arsehole shitting riches
For his Tory, fringe and Nazi-loving chums— Tim Ireland (@bloggerheads) September 17, 2019
