Inauguration Music - 2017/01/05

It’s amazing how, when people don’t get invited to something, they pretend to have turned it down Take, for example, Swedish actress, Rebecca Ferguson (are you sure aboout this Ed.)

She has somehow got the idea in her head that we want her to sing at my inauguration.
WHY? (you are only making it worse ed.)

Added to which, she will only do it if she is allowed to sing a song called “Strange Fruit”. After a bit of googling this gets even bizarrer for a redhead. It’s not about a Rambutan but lynching - something that hasn’t happened in public since the days when the USA was under the auspicies of that great Democrat, Franklin Rooesevelt, more than 80 years ago. They should really do an update - surely there is enough ammunition in all the police killings of Blacks.
I might leave it open, though, so Barry has to learn the lines for when he is filmed singing along whilst I act appear Presidential

Anyways, several people have turned down the offer to participate - on the threat of being blackballed within the industry. Sad really. There should be a Committee looking into that.

Jesssica Simpson would perform, I’m sure, seeing as I made her career with her appearance in The Apprentice season 1 (available on DVD at all top stores). But she’s 36 now. ’Nuff said

So, as I speak, it looks like it will be the Beach Boys starring Mike self-Love. Hope they don’t do “God only knows”

Still if they bomb at least I will be even more center-stage

The climax will be the oath of the office. I’m doing away with this

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States

Anon

and replacing it with

I’ve lived a life that’s full
I’ve traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

To think I did all that
And may I say - not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

Paul Anka in a very president precedent (prescient Ed.) moment

Even if don’t do a Mariah-Carey-like lyp-synch, it’s bound to sound better than the original
