In true Stephen Colbert fashion, the album would lampoon Trump while not overtly taking sides. The spoken-word parts from the songs would be replaced with actual recordings of Trump speeches.
I’d do it myself, except for two things: 1. licensing issues (which are truly daunting for a DIY artist like myself, but would be easier to handle for an artist or band who actually had a label), and 2. Pink Floyd is not really my style of music (although I’m a huge fan of theirs); I don’t think I could sound enough like Pink Floyd to be able to parody them.
So I’m putting this out there in hopes that someone else would be interested in taking up the project. Feel free to link to this idea on social media on your own Wall (pun intended) if you think you might know someone who’d be interested in making Donald Trump’s The Wall a reality.
Possible track listing:
- 1. “You’re Fired?”. So ya thought ya might want to go on my show. I might pick you as my apprentice. Or I’ll make you go....
2. “The Political Ice”. If you should go skating on the thin ice of politics. It doesn’t matter if you tell the truth. You just need a good bag of tricks.
3. “Another Brick In Trump’s Wall (Part 1)”. China’s driving down our prices. Wrecking our economy. Goods with lead and other poisons. China, to the harbor with your tea! China, into the harbor with your tea!
4. “The Worst Days Of Our Lives” When we were young and went to school, there were certain teachers who corrupted children any way they could. Indoctrinating us to be politically correct. It all made me so angry I think every teacher like that should be decked...
5. “Another Brick In Trump’s Wall (Part 2)” We don’t need no immigration, all our borders should be closed. No thugs and rapists in our country. Migra, we should send ‘em home. HEY! MIGRA! We should send ‘em home!
6. “Mother” (lyrics wouldn’t need to be changed much, this song in particular is oddly apropos for Trump).
7. “Goodbye Blue Sky” (lyrics also wouldn’t need to be changed much, this song was originally about WWII, but could also be Trump imagining a future scenario where he’s president and causes WWIII).
8. "I'm Not Racist". (backmasked) Hello, you've just discovered the secret racial dog whistle. Please spend your welfare checks at KFC in the inner city, Compton... (sung forwards). I'm so incensed. How dare they call me racist? When I just tell the truth?
9. “Old Sexism” Carly’s kind of ugly. Just look at her face. Would you vote for that thing? I don’t see how she can win the race. Ooh, she’s just a stupid woman. Ooh, she’s just a stupid girl. Look at Megyn, bleeding from her eyes. And her whatever, what a sight! I meant nose and ears, calm yourselves! Only deviants would think I meant something else.....
10. "One Of My Rants" And I can feel one of my rants coming on. I feel hot as a blazing sun. Tight as a tourniquet. Loud as a funeral drum.
11. "Don't Leave Me Now". This lyric also wouldn't need to be changed much (it'd be addressed to the voters).
12. "Another Brick In Trump's Wall (Part III)": Though some think this plan is twisted. We should have all Muslims listed. Close their mosques, don't need them here at all. No I don't think we need them here at all. All and all they are all just bricks in the wall....
13. "Goodbye GOP": Goodbye GOP. I'm running 3rd today.
14. "Hey You": Hey you, without me there's no hope at all. Together we stand, divided we fall.
15. "Is There Anybody Out There". No need to change these (very minimalistic) lyrics, although snippets of Trump speeches could be added in the background.
16. "The ISIS Song": And I've got second sight. I know much more than our generals. So it's clear as a bell, I will bomb them all to hell. 'Till they're just an empty shell, there'll be nobody home.
17. "Carson": Does anybody else here think Ben Carson's nuts? Remember when he said he said that "it was good that guy's belt was in the way"?
18. "Bring The Boys Back Home": These lyrics could be turned around 180 degrees to reflect a hawkish foreign policy instead.
19. "Fashionably Dumb": Vote for me. Our country has been brought down. But it won't take a brain to get us on our feet again.
20. "The Show Must Go On": Also wouldn't need many lyrical changes, although snippets of speeches could be added.
21. "You're Fired!": Tell me, is something eluding you, voters? Is this not what you expected to see?
22. "Rough Him Up": With your nerves in tatters. You're shouting out Black Lives Matter. Think you should get battered. To the floor. We'll rough you up.
23. "Waiting For Trump's Worms": Would you like to see America rule again my friend? All you have to do is follow the worms.
24. "Stop": Stop. I wanna go home. Get off this TV stage and leave the show. 'Cause I've dug in much too far. Because I have to know. Have I been joking all this time?
25. "The Establishment": Good morning, Jeb your honor. The tape will plainly show. The candidate who now stands before you was caught red-handed spouting language, spouting language of an almost fascist nature. This will not do. Call the party chairman!
26. "Outside Trump's Wall" All alone or in two's. The ones who won't vote for you. Walk up and down outside the wall.
