CHOMSKY SONG
(Beverly Hillbillies spoof)
Come 'n listen to my story 'bout a man named Noam
Started writing 'bout war when he was twelve years old
Then one day, Noam started speaking out against 'Nam
If we came home only Hollywood would be harmed....
Gump....Forrest Gump...Bubba...Leiutenant Dan...
Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill, The Deer Hunter,
We Were Soldiers, Good Morning Vietnam
Well the next thing ya know Noam's now a pioneer
The father of linguistics just found a new career...
Political Activist, Philosopher, Cognitive Scientist, Author,
Lecturer, Political Dissident, Anarchist,
Libertarian Socialist Intellectual
So this PhD from MIT went from being just another dork
To a hero to both you and me
How will he be remembered?
How will he go down in history?
Well, to me he's our best representative of man's humanity...
Thanks Noam, gracias, Ah-ree-gato,
Merci, dunka, spah-see-boh,
ah-san-teh, grazie...
