(So You Wanna) Be Like Putin One of my faults is that I have a low tolerance for dumba$$ery. So when a few of our public figures in the United States praised and admired Putin, I had to write a song. (I am sure this is to no one's surprise.) On a side note: My grandmother emigrated from the Vohynia (sp?) region of Ukraine (might have been part of Russia then) to the U.S. in 1914. I still have cousins in the Ukraine. The last I heard is that they were able to flee out of Kiev to safety about a couple weeks ago.

Good song. You used the band very well. The guitar riff is great. Timely lyrics. Vocals are very Devo or punkish - very fitting. Wow, that solo is good too. I hope your cousins make it through this ok.
Good work here.

It's enough to make one's blood boil, Scott, but at least their reprehensible statements inspired a good song. Great little guitar riff and excellent job as always on the vocals.
Regards,
Leon

Good angry song! My youngest daughter was in the other room and remarked that it sounded like a song her brother would write, but sung "by an old man". As an "old man" myself, I can assure you that's high praise!  Patience is a virtue, but I'm less certain that suffering fools is.

You had me at intolerance of dumba$$ery, Scott. Excellent lyrics and your usual great vocal. The Wrecking Crew is in top form. I like the response in the end: Darn tootin'. haha I like the way you think!! A fun song.

The Dumba$$ery is pathetic and disgusting but, what frightens me more is the hordes of double duma$$ess that eat it up the propaganda like candy.
Maybe Steven Seagal will come to his senses and deploy his martial arts against his buddy for the good of humanity.
Nice biting message with a driving beat.
It's got an "in your face" vibe that fits the message well.
Well done.

Some may admire the beast, but you got inspired and that's healthy anger management. Good groove, good band with nice "soft-punk" approach, although the subject of your song would need harder treatment.

Nice punk feel to it. Creative and imaginary lyric writing.
What's not to like about that?
Here's another verse for you.
A senile disaster in Afghanistan
A couple of laptops prove you're the "big man"
Bumbling into world war three without a plan.
I might just have to write something like this..... there's certainly enough grist.

Clever, well written lyric.
A message that need to be heeded (but likely won't by those who need to)
Nice Grungy BAND.
Good attitudinal vocal.

Very good song about a terrible subject.
Good voice, matches very well with this kind of song.
In our country (like most European countries) more and more refugees from Ukraine arrive.
We listen and watch the news all day!

Scott,
Excellent and timely punk. Well delivered message. Composition, vocals and mix are ACE! Listens very well.
As unwritten rule, good punk music is often born in turbulent times. Thank you for speaking out and sharing.
Misha.
P.S. poo-tin does not deserve a "quick one", I think a lifetime vacation in a mine in Siberia would do him better. Perhaps a groupon tickets for his buddies too. Unreal how much pain and suffer he caused.
Two of my grandparents are of Ukrainian heritage. When I was 5, family visited my uncle in Ukraine. One of the best childhood memories. He passed away couple of years back. Thinking about it now, maybe it's for the better, not to see all this horror.

Scott,
OUCH - you sting!
The mind set of the ones the chorus is aimed at is unbelieveable but not as remarkable as the millions who support it.
COOL song, nice edge to your critique.
Cheers

A perfect choice of style. Purposeful lyrics, encapsulated with a darkness fitting of the subject.
This could be something from the 'Rocky Horror' show, except without the 'Rocky' part.
