So I got an email last night, wondering what the cuttlefish signal was--akin to the bat signal, but alerting me to those rare occasions when someone needs something in verse. It's happened before, surprisingly--"Lousisiana, 2010" was a response to a specific request, for instance. Last night, the call came on behalf of (but not from) Orac. The anti-vax pinheads (seems to me I have written on them a few times in the past) fancy themselves musicians. Actually, go take a look at Orac's post, cos otherwise you won't believe what passes for lyrics in people who have lost all semblance of critical thinking.
Anyway, I churned out the following for the comment thread. I apologize to Lennon, McCartney, and music lovers everywhere.
Ah, look at all the stupid people
Ah, look at all the stupid people
Jenny McCarthy doesn’t think twice, no research, doesn’t know what it means
Fighting vaccines
Works on her website, wearing a face that she bought from a surgeon out West
Along with her breasts
All the stupid people
Where do they all come from?
All the stupid people
Where do they all belong?
Doctor Habakus, thinking that risking your children is everyone’s choice
Raises her voice
Look at her working, spreading her disinformation to anyone there
What does she care?
All the stupid people
Where do they all come from?
All the stupid people
Where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the stupid people
Ah, look at all the stupid people
Jenny McCarthy botoxed her face, now her smile has been turned to a mask
Don’t even ask.
Doctor Habakus, off to get paid thirty pieces of silver for what she has done
At AutismOne
All the stupid people
Where do they all come from?
All the stupid people
Where do they all belong?

Seriously cool! :D I know how difficult it is to write something on request, so that's extra fab! :)
This was amazing. I could hear it perfectly in my mind as I read the lyrics. Well done.
Thanks, you two--but I'll let you in on a little secret: It's about a million times easier to write something after someone else already did--you'll notice that both my mentioned requests turned out to be based on someone else's work. Not quite parody (that is indeed difficult, at least to do well, although very easy to do poorly) but lifting of a rhyme scheme, and that makes a huge difference.
<3 your lyrics. I have the urge to turn this into a music video.
Do it, Holly!
