Story behind the song
This song is dedicated to the idiot executives at BP oil.
It took them almost three months to stop oil from gushing into the Gulf of Mexico at a rate of about 200,000 gallons a day. Living here in Mississippi, I know people whose livelihood are ruined and there will be many more people affected from Louisiana to Florida and beyond. We will not know for years what impact this has on the ocean and the creatures living in it. But now I will step down off my soapbox.
I wanted to write a song about this disaster and it started out as a angry, kind of protest song. But after hearing some of these executives from BP talking like everything is gonna be fine.
I decided to write a song for them. A happy, fun song with a summer feel. A bouncy, everythinga019s fine song.
Oil, what oil? :)
So I wrote a sarcastic song for them.
When I started writing this song the title was a01CTar Ball Beacha01D but I changed it to a01CFubar Beacha01D. For those of you who dona019t know a01CFubara01D is an acronym that stands for a01C Fu##ed up beyond all recognitiona01D. So I think it fits the situation well.
I know the song is very repetitive but I really wanted the words to stand out and I wanted to use keyboards which I hardly ever do because I am just learning how to play. So anyway enough of my rant, I just wanted people to know I am not making fun of the situation. I am using sarcasm to show how bad the spill really is. I hope you enjoy the song and Thank You for listening.
Dave
Lyrics
FUBAR BEACH BY DAVID BRIDE c2010
Driving down to my favorite spot,
On the ocean where the sun is hot,
No one else on the beach today,
They all been told to stay away,
A little billion gallon oil spill,
They say it's gonna make you ill,
But I think its fine you see,
Not gonna bother me,
Going down to Fubar Beach,
Got the whole place to myself you see,
This really is the place to be,
Down on Fubar Beach
Found a front row parking spot,
It's early but its getting hot,
Cause they lit the gulf on fire,
Sit and watch the flames grow higher,
No seagulls gonna bother me,
No jellyfish or crabs bite me,
They're all dead and gone away,
Nothing left here today,
Going down to Fubar Beach,
Got the whole place to myself you see,
This really is the place to be,
Down on Fubar Beach
Come down here and enjoy yourself,
Don't worry about your health,
There's nothing here that's spoiled,
It's just a little oil,
Come down here on the sand,
It's an oil covered wonderland,
Best vacation we've had yet,
Just don't light that cigarette,
Going down to Fubar Beach,
Got the whole place to myself you see,
This really is the place to be,
Down on Fubar Beach,
Come down here on the water,
There's no familys, no teeny boppers,
Just me and old Jolly Roger,
Loving the oil and water,
Come down here on the sand,
It's an oil covered wonderland,
Best vacation we've had yet,
Just don't light that cigarette,
