A
rap song by Pauline Pantsdown, made up of
sound bites from
speeches made by
redneck Australian politician
Pauline Hanson. She obtained an
injunction
against its
airplay by popular Australian youth radio station
Triple J. Mr Pantsdown promptly put out
another song which became a
single, "
I Don't Like It".
Example of lyric:
"I'm very proud that I'm not straight"
"What I've called for is a homosexual government, yeah
Join us, be one of us, come out, be one of us, yeah"
"I'm a backdoor man for the Ku Klux Klan with
very horrendous plans. I'm a very caring potato,
We will never have the chance."
Of course, what made the song all the more hilarious
what the disjointed manner and tone in which the
phrases were put together and the way it parodied
her Nazi policies.
It's unfortunate that no-one parodied Joerg Haider
before he got in. It's been said that he is
going to become chancellor within three years
in Austria, which is shocking. Perhaps Austrians
do not have the same sense of humour, or predilection
for mocking authority figures, as Australians do.
