Story Behind the Song
Comic country softshoe dance tune tells the crimes of the Beast of Baghdad, with political cheers, foreign sideswipes, and a voice from his last mad, smokin' wipeout.
Lyrics
SADDAM INSANE (Say G'bye To His Reign)
Intro:
Most of human history,
Violence, hate, and poverty.
When the tyrants stay too long,
Progress never comes along.
Verse:
Boiling in a bunker beneath Baghdad
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
Power and murder made him glad
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
Torture and rape his callin' cards
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
Built oil palaces while his people starved
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
Chorus:
Sa-ddam Insane, twisted brain,
Gotta say g'bye to his evil reign!
Sad Iraqis' ball 'n chain,
Saddam, Saddam, Saddam Insane!
He murdered near a million people,
many in mass graves
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
Treated Iraqis as his slaves
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane.
He chemical-bombed Iran and Kurdistan
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
Hitler and Stalin's biggest fan
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
(chorus)
(Go, W! ... Do it to 'em, Rummy! ... You
tell 'em, Colin! ... Where's Cheney? ... General Myers Franks hot cookin' in the 'Stans!)
He's Yang to Bin Laden's Yin
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
Ravaged Kuwait on a whim
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
AMERICA quickly cleaned his plate
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
But forgot to end his hate
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
(chorus)
(Oh, them great Britons! ... Love them Aussies! ... Spain came through ... Who knows what them Turks'll do? ... French and Germans still won't fight dictators ... But their neighbors will!)
He was livin' for revenge,
9-11 shared his fingerprints,
Buildin' germs and atom bombs,
Wanted to blow up everyone,
UN let 'im lie too long . . .
chorus:
(Sa-ddam Insane, twisted brain,
Gotta say g'bye to his evil reign!
Sad Iraqis' house of pain
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!)
Sa-ddam Insane, twisted brain,
Him 'n Bin Laden, two wings o' the plane!
Break 'em both off, it's flyin'down the drain!
Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam, Sa-ddam Insane!
