Hi All,

Here's a jaunty tune about an evil dictator with a Napoleon complex:

https://soundcloud.com/abondaruk5/putler-world

Putler World by The Fighting Bodnars

I run a tight kleptocracy, my people are repressed,
I’m filthy rich and they are poor; they’d better not protest.
When I’m feeling antsy, my opponents end up dead,
Some fly out of windows, some are shot in head.

I want a new world order, our Russkiy Mir reclaimed,
Rebuild the Russian empire, as the West goes down in flames.

I have a lust for conquest, power and control,
I have no qualms or morals, I have no heart or soul.
I don’t care how many die, as I conduct my genocide,
Rules apply to others, they don’t apply to me.

Repeat chorus

I won’t respect your borders, I won’t respect your seas,
‘Cause rules apply to others, they don’t apply to me.
When I invade a country, I make up some pretext,
For now, I'm gonna take Ukraine, then maybe Poland next.

Repeat chorus

I want a world where “might makes right,”
If you push back, we’re gonna fight,
And if you try to stop us, we’ll threaten you with nukes.
I’m a reckless opportunist, completely conscience-free,
I’m gonna die soon anyway, so I’ll start World War 3.

Repeat chorus

All instrumental tracks are by BIAB:

The last time I heard a Dixieland style protest song was...well, never. Nope, not ever. This is really original and just outstanding in every way. LOVE the arrangement and the creative use of BiaB sounds. The lyrics are quite clever but the message is direct. The vocals have an appropriate world weary raspy beauty. The harmony lines are pushed back in the mix but provide great support. There is nothing about this song that I would change. Great song!!!

Dan, do you actually think they would understand it? whistle

Thank you, Mario!

I originally tried for an Eastern European-sounding gypsy music vibe, but BIAB has more Dixieland styles, so I went with that.

Very cool, and a BIG welcome to the forum, abondurak. I read this post yesterday, and couldn't wait to hear it on better speakers this morning. Well worth the wait, and what a terrific song for your first here. Good write, and I really really like the tuba treatment. Excellent lyrics.


Enjoy whatever happens!
