- Supreme Court Judge Clarence Thomas was appointed under very suspicious circumstances and now that mistaken appointment has come home to roost. He is likely the most corrupt and compromised Supreme Court judge in US history. He needs step down.
Lyrics by David Cohen - A Parody about Judge Clarence Thomas based on the song Tom Dooley, as made famous by The Kingston Trio. Performance by Don Caron.
Executive Producers Don Caron and Jerry Pender

LYRICS
By David Cohen
Hang up your robe, Judge Thomas
Hang up your robe and cry
It's time you paid the piper
For kickbacks you can’t deny
We watched your confirmation
Listened to your swill
And when it was over
We believed Anita Hill
Hang up your robe, speak truly
Step down and just comply
Tell us why your wife, “Ginni”
Texted Meadows on the sly
This time tomorrow
Please give us a sign
Will you be recusing?
Or better yet resign
Hang up your robe, speak truly
Your grifting was not as planned
Hang up your robe, speak truly
It’s high time you should be banned
Hang up your robe, speak truly
Hang up your robe don’t lie
Hang up your robe, speak truly
Your gravy train is dry
This time tomorrow
What we’d like to see
Removal from the SCOTUS
Then heading in to cop a plea
Hang up your robe, speak truly
Hang up your robe and cry
Hang up your robe, speak truly
Looks like, your life’s a lie
Well now, Judge
Hang up your robe, speak truly
Hang up your robe and cry
Hang up your robe, speak truly
Looks like, your time is nigh
Looks like, your time is nigh
Looks like, your time is nigh
Looks like, your time is nigh
ABOUT THE ORIGINAL SONG
"Tom Dooley" is a traditional North Carolina folk song based on the 1866 murder of a woman named Laura Foster in Wilkes County, North Carolina by Tom Dula (whose name in the local dialect was pronounced "Dooley"). One of the more famous murder ballads, a popular hit version recorded in 1958 by The Kingston Trio, which reached No. 1 in Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and also was top 10 on the Billboard R&B chart, and appeared in the Cashbox Country Music Top 20.
The song was selected as one of the American Songs of the Century by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the National Endowment for the Arts, and Scholastic Inc. Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.
"Tom Dooley" fits within the wider genre of Appalachian "sweetheart murder ballads". A local poet named Thomas Land wrote a song about the tragedy, titled "Tom Dooley", shortly after Dula was hanged. In the documentary Appalachian Journey (1991), folklorist Alan Lomax describes Frank Proffitt as the "original source" for the song, which was misleading in that he did not write it. There are several earlier known recordings, notably one that G. B. Grayson and Henry Whitter made in 1929, approximately 10 years before Proffitt cut his own recording.
The Kingston Trio took their version from Frank Warner's singing. Warner had learned the song from Proffitt, who learned it from his aunt, Nancy Prather, whose parents had known both Laura Foster and Tom Dula. In a 1967 interview, Nick Reynolds of the Kingston Trio recounts first hearing the song from another performer and then being criticized and sued for taking credit for the song. Supported by the testimony of Anne and Frank Warner, Frank Proffitt was eventually acknowledged by the courts as the preserver of the original version of the song, and the Kingston Trio were ordered to pay royalties to him for their uncredited use of it.
In 1866, Laura Foster was murdered. Confederate veteran Tom Dula, Foster's lover and the father of her unborn child, was convicted of her murder and hanged May 1, 1868. Foster had been stabbed to death with a large knife, and the brutality of the attack partly accounted for the widespread publicity.
Anne Foster Melton, Laura's cousin, had been Dula's lover from the time he was twelve and until he left for the Civil War - even after Anne married an older man named James Melton. When Dula returned, he became a lover again to Anne, then Laura, then their cousin Pauline Foster. Pauline's comments led to the discovery of Laura's body and accusations against both Tom and Anne. Anne was subsequently acquitted in a separate trial, based on Dula's word that she had nothing to do with the killing. Dula's enigmatic statement on the gallows that he had not harmed Foster but still deserved his punishment led to press speculation that Melton was the actual killer and that Dula simply covered for her. - ตลก
IMPEACH ALL BRIBED JUSTICES
What has happened to America??? A former President has 80+ charges against him and the
Supreme court has become a political puppet. I cry often !!! 😭
How he has the nerve to walk into the court, I don't know. It's time they could be sacked!
Excellent! Yes he needs to be removed & tried for Treason.
This parody encompasses more Truth than the entirety of SCOTUS. Delighted to find the truth wherever I can these days. 💙
If you want him to recuse you are going to have to run it past his Billionaire owners.
Thank you for highlighting one of the greatest flaws in our democratic process. Every office in our government should have term limits, the rot in our Supreme Court has been visible for years, yet nothing has been done to remove criminal SC judges.
Perfection 👏 👏 👏
Too bad SCOTUS has no ethical protocols. Only court where judges don’t have to recuse themselves. Great song & even better parody
👍
Please help us keep laughing, thru our tears. Love what you do!
I'm adicted to this channel :) NOBODY can do what's being performed here
@@kirstengrau1
Yes I'm in the process of becoming addictrd. The truth in your entertainingly awesome parodies is spot on. Your efforts & talent are greatly appreciated by ME!
Everybody, Everbody should see this. Thanks
Danke!
how would we get through the trumplican era without parodists!
Well done, gentlemen.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You always deliver..thank you!!
🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
The most corrupt justice on the needs to go away. Several should not be there but (Uncle) Thomas definitely should not be there.
Unbelievable😢
Great as always,thank you Don
👍
Well done 🎶🎵🌊👏👏👏
👍
Getting better with every time! Your talent is great. I wish Jimmy Kimmel had you on his show! Vote Blue!
That is a great idea. Jimmy does not know what he's missing. The laughter from his audience & it would totally tee El Farto off. (or was that piss him off?)
Two 👍 👍 up!
You all totally nailed it!!! 👏 😂🎯
Good job Don!
Great as always. Let's hope for a miracle, even those of us who don't think miracles exist.
Had to listen twice
GREAT, GREAT, thank you so much
You are welcome!
Superb! So glad you did a parody on the worst SC judge. Shameless kleptocrat!
Just love the it 👍🏻🤗💙🇺🇸💙🇳🇴💙
Great song..one of my favorites..And your parody of it is awesome as always..👍👍❤️💙
BRILLIANT 😂😂😂😂😂
He's on the grift, and never volunterry leave.
Corruption to the highest court is soo shameful 💩🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant as always. So grateful for all those resisting Trump. Vote Blue 2024
Always SPOT ON, Don and David
Omg lmao great
👍
Love it! Keep it up!
👍
Another great one...keep it going enjoy all you do!!👍💙👏🏻👏🏻
See you at the democratic convention, Chicago. Then you can set everything ✅️ right.
Brilliant…..and profoundly frightening
Yes! Tell it like it is! When Trump goes down all of his enablers will fall down too! [Or one can live in hope...sigh] Loved the song anyways, don't stop. Even if he's imprisoned, don't stop, he could still run his campaign and win from Jail I believe. So, don't stop.
Thanks again; one of your best.
I apologize, I neglected to say thanks to you & everyone involved with The Parody Project.
Brilliant!
Thank you!
I wish a chorus of thousands could sing this as he enters the court. I can’t fathom how the USA has gotten so screwed up in such a short time. Well done…as always. Might one say this is pitch perfect.🖤🇨🇦
I felt like Singing this from the roof too, ... But it was raining and at 68 my balance isn't as good as it used to be... Hell it's not as good as it was 5 years ago when "I" put a new roof on my home, of course if I had my neighbors probably would either call the police or started shooting up the nieghborhood.
LOL... I've been saying for a year now that SCOTUS needs to be brought up on charges of curruption, and Gross indeference, Impeached, and Replaced... Thank You , Thank You.... Keep singing we need your truths sung from coast to coast and in the Halls of Justice.
Perfect
😂💜 Love your work Thank you! 💐💐💜
Haven't heard that tune for a long thank you. Again you have helped me from watching news the government wants us to hear . You're the best.
Your parodies are so on point! Thank you for singing truth!
Brilliant hits the spot guys 😂
Another hit, Parody Project!
_"Stand by your wife_
_Give her two arms to cling to . . ."_ *;-)*
Excellant
Another brilliant one!
The Kingston Trio would approve!😂
"Your gravy train is dry." Brilliant and funny!
Once again great harmonizing, ❤ the choice of an old folk tune, and again did not realize her wife did all that! Keep singing them guys. You are great!
Wow! You are really cranking out some great stuff. Thank you for putting some light in my day! 😊
Another great one to add to our collection. Thank you again for all of our fun videos !!
This was brilliant !!!😅
i was one of the few people who believed anita hill. she's probably feeling pretty good now.
I did too & she did a brave thing. Shortly after her speaking out regards Thomas' behavior, we had a memo come down from our head office informing us that certain behaviors were not acceptable in the work place. Thank you Anita Hill! Too bad they didn't listen to you.
I think a lot of people believed her - almost entirely women though
@@mariag.8242 the women i was working with didn't believe her. women don't lie about that since they stand to lose their jobs if they claim sexual abuse in the workplace.
Extremely well done, guys! May I also suggest a follow-up for use at some later point for the (we hope) Jailbird-in-Chief: A parody of The Kingston Trio's later hit "Tijuana Jail".
Awesome Wonderful Idea for another Parody Project Parody. How Clever. #6316 👏🏼👏🏼💕♥️💕
Omg! Sweet kiss perfection!
Term limits please!!! We the people should be able to vote them out,same as a president,senator or local leaders,should not be a "lifetime"position!!
You have a way with words.
With one ruling, unlimited presidential immunity, the SCOTUS Inc could completely unravel our democracy and never doubt their ability to come up with a specious argument for doing just that.
Musically, I really enjoyed that last bar where you dropped the octave. It perfectly frames the song as a lament.
Thanks!
Welcome!
💙🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🤷♀️👇
Great Job!
Shame shame shame
SHARE SHARE SHARE SHARE SHARE SHARE
Brilliant as always . Song suggestion .... The Answer Is Blowing in the Wind ....accompanied by pics/vids of Trump's hair blowing everywhere, maybe finishing with him passing "wind"?
💙
OMG THIS IS AWESOME I LUV IT!!! 👍🤣
I'm glad you like it
To think the current SCOTUS could have the final say in any issue in the US is a scary thought. There is no ntegrity and the willingness to self-police when necessary. SCOTUS hasn't been perfect in the past, the internment camps for Japanese-Americans and McCarthyism are two prime examples, but what we have now is disgraceful.
take the RV and drive off into the sunset
😂😂😂 ANOTHER MY Brother. TO Tom Dooley.😂😂😂😂 1:04
Who still believes the myth that no one is above the Law?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can't believe this. I hope all the other justices vote no on immunity for trump, but I will not be surprised if they throw him a bone.
Vote Blue Vote Biden/Harris 💙💙💙💙💙
Get him 💙💙💙💙VOTE BLUE HI MOM! 🤗🤗🤗💙💙💙💙BIDEN AND HARRIS 2024💙💙💙💙
There no way Thomas is not going to try and save Trump…Thomas can't be fired and it’s a job for life…so what does he have to lose
"Insurrection"? Over 900 people charged for various January 6 activities, and NOT ONE charged with insurrection.
There is only one person who should be charged with insurrection. The rest thought they were following the instructions of the then Commander-in Chief. They did not instigate. THey only acted out.
Quite a racist thumbnail I must say
just the facts
Pelican brief please!!
