Yankee Spanko Dandy

Lori <Peachesicu@aol.com>

I'm a Yankee Spanko Dandy
A Yankee Spanko, do or die
A real live Spanko like my Uncle Sam
Spanked every Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Spanko sweetheart
She's my Yankee Spanko joy
Yankee Spanko bottom's come to top's
Just to ride them OTK
I am a Yankee Spanko Boy

I'm the kid that's craving spankings
I'm a Yankee Spanko Dandy
I'm glad I am
So's Uncle Sam
I'm a real live Yankee Spanko
Made my name and fame made with my paddle
by riding them OTK
I love to listen to the Spanko strain
I long to see the girlies red behinds
One spanking ain't enough
She's a Spanko, by gosh
The swollen red fanny, it ain't a phoney

I'm a Yankee Spanko Dandy
A Yankee Spanko, do or die
A real live Spanko like my uncle Sam
Spanked every Fourth of July
I've got a Yankee Spanko sweetheart
She's my Yankee Spanko joy
Yankee Spanko bottom's come to top's
Just to ride them OTK
I am a Yankee Spanko Boy

Father was called Daddy Spanko
Mother was called Mommy Spanko
Spanko's through and through
From white to red and blue
Father was so Spanko hearted
When the Spanko War was started
He slipped off his uniform
And hopped up on a lap
My mother's mother was a Spanko true
My father's father was a Spanko too
And that's going some
For the Spanko's, by gum

The End

Nice piece. I enjoyed reading your well spanked version of Yankee Doodle Dandy. Upon my initial read of this piece, my mind translated Dandy to Daddy. I enjoyed seeing red bottoms painted here for my mind's eyes. Thanks!

A nice but slightly awkward parody. The hard consonants in Spanko contrasts with the soft ones in doodle which slightly alters the meter each time the title phrase yankee spanko occurs. The sense seems to jolt in order to return to a close fit to the original.

I liked the line «I long to see the girlies red behinds», this is parody that works. OTOH «When the Spanko War was started» makes no sense unless you have the original in front of you, and even then doesn't really work.

(I may possibly be prejudiced a bit because I am not as fond of the George M. Cohan's Yankee Doodle Dandy as I am of the original eighteenth century Yankee Doodle. In fact I think most of GMC's patriotic songs don't quite work.)

Some song parodies suffer because the author strays too from the original, ignoring the meter or rhyme scheme. This one, IMO, suffers because it let the original be a strait-jacket, not changing enough to create a tune that works on its own.

This is a trap I have fallen into myself, and I know how hard it is to avoid, but the best song parodies do manage to avoid it IMO. Still this was lots of fun, and I am glad to have seen it. Thanks for writing it and entering it in the SSC, and please do keep writing.

It is always difficult to convey a parodist's creation to another parodist, and this well-known tune lends itself to many interpretations. This reviewer is left a little flat by the use of Spanko in place of Doodle rather than in place of the more obvious Yankee. A parody of the entire original, bridges and all, leads to some strained rhyming and punning. So while the tune keeps running through my head after reading this entry, I nevertheless felt like a Stranger in Parodies.
