The adventures of David Milliband

Milliband, Milliband
Riding to numer 10,
Milliband, Milliband,
With his band of men,
Has he gone mad, he's upto no good,
Milliband! Milliband! Milliband!

He called the greatest arseholes
To a clavernn with his dream,
They laughed told him to kiss them on the ring,
They created all the trouble
In the England it's obsene,
And still found plenty of time to sing.

Milliband, Milliband
Riding to numer 10,
Milliband, Milliband,
With his band of men,
Jeered by the bad, sneered by the good,
It's rather sad, what a hood,

To the tune of the adventures of Robin Hood.

Edited.

It's written in such old Ynglish, it's prespelling.

Clavern is a group of plotters meeting insecret, actually 19th century American term for a meeting of the KKK.

Which would be called a Klavern.

I may not be spell, but I certainly fail to spell a fasciantaing range of words.

Consider that stolen.

*Imagines a small conclave of Klansmen sitting in the corner of the audience chuckling sagely and saying, "Oh, very good."*

Pretty cool.

"Riding to Number 10" doesn't really scan though, I think you need something with 2 syllables. Like 'storming' or something.

Thank's I'll change it.

Frankly any one who fights integration by going to a BBQ in bed linen, must have a sense of irony.

And so shoot me it's a good rhyme.

Not bad at all.

Fair point I'm finding songs to be a long twilight struggle.

Thanks for the honesty.

Back into the breach, can't believe my only workable song was the sodding Goodys theme.

I count the syllables, but the buggers always elude me.

The shocking thing is I haven't stuck up my real stinkers.

Ye Gods!

I will do so.

I think my ego is quite bloated enough to take it.

Question for Griff: (small hijack but i'm sure Sootyj will benefit too)

Is it necessary to change every line in a song, or is it ok to keep some lines in if they become relevant to your subject?

That's the help I need.

As for help being funny, maybe a little beyond hope.

Songs are quite difficult to do. I've had a crack at quite a few, but only one of them came out good. NewsRevue thought otherwise though!

As regards this song, I second everything Griff said.
