Amsterdam, Just The Facts Please
This from an Amsterdam resident :
Most people know that the Fox channel isn't the most objective news source on American TV. But in a pretty recent broadcast Amsterdam is so falsely portrayed as a city of crime, drugs and anarchy, that I had to show the facts.

GOP Hires ‘The Village People’ to Perform ‘C Street Chalet’
GOP Hires ‘The Village People’ to Perform ‘C Street Chalet’
[Sung to the tune of "YMCA"]
GOP man, if you want to go down.
With a woman, with whom you don’t have a vow
GOP man, if you don’t want to leave town
There’s no need … to … fly to Buenos
GOP man, there’s a place you can go.
GOP man, where wild oats you can sow
You can stay there, and I’m sure you can pray
For salvation, and perhaps a Three-Way
It’s fun to stay at the … C Street Chalet
It’s fun to stay at the … C Street Chalet
They have everything, for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with Christ, and use our in-house sex toys
It’s fun to stay at the … C Street Chalet
It’s fun to stay at the … C Street Chalet
You can get yourself laid, deduct the cost of your meals,
Plot for school prayer, and to undo the New Deal
GOP man, do you seek guarantees?
That you can hide your, blatant hy-pocrisy?
GOP man, you can visit the Lord
And a … smokin’ … Christian hot broad
It’s fun to stay at the … C Street Chalet
It’s fun to stay at the … C Street Chalet
From Don Davis at The Satirical Political Report
Now this song will be playing in your head all day long ! Sorry, I hate those earworms too.

Happy Fourth Of July - This Land Is Your Land
I sing songs that people made up to help them to do more work, to get somewhere in this old world, to fall in love and to get married and to have kids and to have trade unions and to have the right to speak out your mind about how to make this old world a little bit better place to work in. I sing songs about people that are fighting with guns to win a world where you’ll have a good job at union pay, and a right to speak up, to think, to have honest prices and honest wages and a nice clean place to live in and a good safe place to work in. I even sing songs about getting nursery schools for little kids too young to play in the streets, and schools where all of the other kids can go to keep from playing their games under the garbage trucks. I don’t sing any songs about the nine divorces of some millionaire playgal or the ten wives of some screwball. I’ve just not got time to sing those kind of songs and I wouldn’t sing them if they paid me a thousand dollars a week
