| Original Performer: | The Newbeats |
| Parody Song Title: | "Michael Nutter" |
| Parody Written by: | Michael Pacholek |
No, it's not a reference to me being nuts. It's to the Mayor-elect of Philadelphia. I wouldn't want his as-of-January 1 job, because Philly has become the pits. The original song is one of the most "awesomely bad" songs of all time, presaging "bubblegum music" by at least three years.
(instrumental opening)
His name's Michael Nutter.
Philly's in a jam.
He's the guy we're voting.
Fix our city, man.
Well, we like Michael Nutter.
Goes to City Hall.
Look at mess he's facing.
Can he do it all?

Well, John Street really blew it.

Wilson Goode, he wasn't.
And Frank Rizzo was wrong.

Well, I know he's no Ben Franklin.

can all go fly a kite!

Vote Nutter for Bread and Butter. Philly - ehh! Who cares. What they need on their bread is some genuine Philly Cream Cheese. That ought to get about 5 votes for both Mike (Da Fingah) and Nutter.
i'm voting for michael....michael P. that is
Pretty good; I laughed! I subtracted one point because you sacrificed the smoothness of the words to match the pacing--5-4-5. (Ain't I a stinker?) BTW, I like "Bread and Butter"! Also BTW, I always pictured the lead singer of that song as a black woman!
This parodies gets 5s just for the Ben Franklin verse.
