I live in New York City and will be street-blogging the Republican Convention at my Mad Kane's Notables, using the facilities at the Tank, a performance space which has generously created a lefty blogger convention headquarters. Other RNC Convention bloggers include Jeralyn Merritt of TalkLeft; Jay Rosen of Pressthink; Markos of The Daily Kos; Anna of Annatopia (who will be blogging for Air America Radio's Majority Report;) Matt Stoller; Matthew Yglesias; Zoe; and Jesse and Ezra of Pandagon.

So I thought I'd celebrate our lefty GOP Convention blogger-fete with a new song parody, "The GOP Hits New York." I hope you enjoy singing it to "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again," using this midi link.

The GOP bash will soon be here.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Won't give 'em a hearty welcome cheer.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
They'll swarm our bars and they'll crowd our streets.
They'll praise and laud their nominees.
And we won't feel gay when
The GOP hits New York.

Republican pols in NYC.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Big Apple bit by the GOP.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
They'll bash and sneer at the Democrats.
They're sure to act like plund'ring rats.
And we won't feel gay when
The GOP hits New York.

George Dubya and the Dick here too.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
The thought of them both, it makes me blue.
Oh, no! Oh, no!
We'll demonstrate and we'll speak our minds.
We'll flash our Kerry/Edwards signs.
And we'll have our say when.
The GOP hits New York.
