"TRUMP'S NIGHTMARE BEFORE THE MIDTERMS"
A Surf-Rock Political Parody — In the Style of "Wipe Out" by The Surfaris
[INTRO] (Sound of waves crashing, then a cash register ringing, then a crowd chanting "VOTE THEM OUT!") (Maniacal laugh replaced by a trembling, sweaty voice whispering...) "They... they love me... they still love me... right?..." (Crowd boos) "Ha ha ha ha... WIPE OUT!!"
ACT ONE — THE WAVE BUILDS
(The iconic riff crashes in like a wall of blue water...)
[VERSE 1]
He woke up in a cold sweat, polls were looking grim, The red wave he'd been promised was looking pretty slim, A big blue tsunami came a-roaring to the shore, And it smashed every MAGA board from Georgia to the moor!
🎸 WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT!
[VERSE 2]
Eggs were five a dozen, rent was off the charts, Gas was bleeding wallets, breaking working hearts, He promised they'd be winning, said the prices'd fall, But the checkout line said differently — and voters heard the call!
🎸 WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT!
ACT TWO — THE NIGHTMARE DEEPENS
[VERSE 3]
He stared into the TV screen, the red states turning blue, Arizona, Wisconsin — Pennsylvania too! The faithful in the bleachers started looking at their bills, And trading in their red hats for some grocery store thrills!
🎸 WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT!
[VERSE 4]
No more orange ranting, no more midnight posts, No more empty boasting up and down the coasts, The suburbs rose up swinging, women led the fight, Took their rage straight to the polls on a cold November night!
🎸 WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT!
ACT THREE — THE BRIDGE OF RECKONING
[SPOKEN WORD — over the trembling guitar riff]
"No more red hats... No more orange faces... No more bigotry in high places... No more lies about the prices... No more culture war devices... No more bullshit — voters paid their prices!"
(Drum solo — representing 50 million ballots dropping)
ACT FOUR — THE CRASH
[VERSE 5]
Insurance bills were crushing them, the housing dream was dead, He told them it was immigrants — they blamed him instead, The working class got wise now, saw the curtain fall, Turned out the wizard wasn't very wizard-like at all!
🎸 WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT!
[VERSE 6]
No more screaming rallies full of hatred and of fear, No more pointing fingers at the ones they love to sneer, The bigotry got tired, even faithful hearts grew cold, When the truth about the grocery bill finally got told!
🎸 WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT! WIPE OUT!
THE GRAND FINALE — NIGHTMARE'S END
[FINAL VERSE — building like a ten-story wave]
He tried to surf the anger, He tried to ride the hate, He tried to sell the fiction But the fiction came too late —
The boards are all in splinters, Mar-a-Lago's soaked, The red tide's fully washed out And the MAGA dream has choked!
Democracy went surfing, Rode the wave in clean and true, And when the foam had settled — Every shore was painted BLUE!
[OUTRO — crowd roaring over the final riff]
"No more lies... No more lies... No more... No more... 🌊🌊🌊 WIPE... OUT!! 🌊🌊🌊"
(Sound of a gavel. Silence. Then cheering.)
