Love Boat (Food Babe edition) (.MP3 format), music by Charles Fox, words by Mike Gorgone, vocals by Roger M. Wilcox
Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QjpGO6DCjo
A Love Boat parody, making fun of that bastion of scientific rigor and fair debate, the Food Babe. Also available in a "Food Dope" version, for those of you who don't like the mention of She Who Must Not Be Named.
Food, it’s scary it’s true
Come aboard, got a cleanse for you
Cheap Food, don’t eat anymore
Your money goes, but she keeps wanting more
The Food {Babe/Dope}! Don't cross her, she'll ban your dissenting buns;
The Food {Babe/Dope} promises curing for everyone
Set a course for organic
Don’t mind that it’s just a fad
And Food it hurts that’s for sure
But not if you buy, from my online store
Its fraud…
Welcome aboard Its fraud…
Woo Belongs Together (.MP3 format), music by Randy Newman, words by Mike Gorgone, vocals by Roger M. Wilcox
Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nN2cdzfmYaQ
A parody of "We Belong Together" from Toy Story 3, making fun of several food-and-medicine pseudoscience personalities.
[Food Babe] Pseudoscience got a hold on me
I’m not goin’ away
Don’t you tell me about the facts
I love woo
[David "Avocado" Wolfe] Chocolate energy from the sun
Selling blenders is lots of fun
Just buy my products and I’ll love you
I know it’s woo
[Dr. Oz] Lets get together
We’re gonna clean up
And all the money, will make us less depressed
I studied to be a doctor of the heart
I just can’t take not being a star
[Chorus] Woo belongs together
Woo belongs together
Yes we do
Duping minds, forever
Woo belongs together
Woo belongs together
No it’s true
We'll go on lyin’, forever
F the truth
[Mike "Health Ranger" Adams, Natural News] I really like to lie to you
My site’s full of click bait.
Got no pride
Not a whole lot of shame
Gotta get the clicks
[Nutritarian Natural Nancy] Talk about crazy, hi it’s me
Wrote 2,000 words to get my Ph.D.
And I promise to always live to deny
Whenever it suits me
[Mark Hyman] The day I fooled you
Holistic medicine took over your life
But I bet you feel the same
'Cause you know it’s woo
So please forget me
When I take your money away
Cuz you’ll always be, paying me
[Chorus] Woo belongs together
Woo belongs together
Yes we do
Duping minds forever
Woo belongs together
Woo belongs together
Dishonestly
We'll go on lying forever
F the truth
Givin' You the Shitz (.MP3 format), music by Irving Berlin and Taco, words by Mike Gorgone, vocals by Roger M. Wilcox
Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYZnH8VnrUQ
Rememer the rash of E. coli outbreaks suffered by the Chipotle restaurant chain in late 2015? Well, it came on the heels of Chipotle's announcement that they wouldn't use GMO ingredients in their food. Good thing their food is "safer" now, eh?
Chipotle knew
No GMO
Went right through you
They bought healthy spinach and it’s
Givin’ you the Shitz
Customers come in all day
Rice beans with chips, and eataway
Bloat, stomach flips
Givin’ you the Shitz
Messed up unsuspecting people’s poopers
Market hard to look like caring stewards
(Super-Pooper!)
E Coli mix
Infect a fella take steps quick
Or put some Pepto in his mitts
Givin’ you the Shitz
Have you heard the well to do?
Tell you ‘bout organic food
Buy only organic fare
With their noses in the air
High costs don’t seem to bother
Whole Foods makes lots of dollars
Tell you all the time
What you’re doing’s a crime
Chipotle knew
No GMO
Went right through you
They bought healthy spinach and it’s
Givin’ you the Shitz
Customers come in all day
Rice beans with chips, and eataway
Bloat, stomach flips
Givin’ you the Shitz
Gotta crap
Gotta……craaap
Chipotle knew
No GMO
Went right through you
They bought healthy spinach and it’s
Givin’ you the Shitz
Givin’ you the Shitz
Givin’ you the Shitz
Givin’ you the Shitz

Ah, Christmastime. Organic free-range chestnuts roasting on an open fire, visions of overpriced coconut-agave sugarplums dancing in their heads, and of course another extravagant vacation undertaken by that bastion of scientific rigor and honest debate, the Food Babe.

[instrumental interlude]
Shill posts in the air
Banning everywhere
Have to hide the rising tide

Vacation time is here
My posts you need to share
While I’m away, you still can pay
You’re so gullible my dearrrrrrrrs
Everything Is Toxic (.MP3 format), music by Monty Pynthon, words by Mike Gorgone, vocals by Roger M. Wilcox
Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9cSOB3ta4M
Vani Hari's worship of Food Purity could be roughly compared to avoiding sin. Which would make her the Pope of Food Prudery. Or at least one of its cardinals.
DAD:
There are toxins in the world
There are poisons
Monsanto built ‘em and tries to hide them
There are those who follow organic, but
Chemicals still kill all of them
I’m a Chema-phobic
Got no vaccines even after I was born
Big pharma tried to get me, but that's why
The tin foil on my head is worn!
You don’t have eat GM salmon
You don’t have to have the grain brain
You don’t have to wear Bt cotton
You’re dying from the sugar you ate
Because
Everything is toxic
Everything you eat is bad
If a toxin enters you
You will end up dead
CHILDREN:
Everything is toxic
Everything you eat is bad
If a toxin enters you
You will end up dead
GIRL:
Got the Endocrine disruptors
The death is all around
Vani will make them pay for
Each chemical compound
CHILDREN:
Every germ is evil
Every germ in your food
Every germ’s contagious
They’ll all kill you too
MUM:
Glyphosate you morons
Get’s spilled everywhere
If you love my website minions
Spread my message everywhere
MEN:
Everything is toxic
Everything you eat is bad
WOMEN:
If a toxin enters you
CHILDREN:
You will end up dead
PRIEST:
Everything is toxic
BRIDE and GROOM:
Everything you eat is bad
NANNIES:
Vani will make them pay for
CARDINALS:
Each chemical compound
CHILDREN
Chemicals aren’t useful
Chemicals killed Dad
FUNERAL CORTEG:
Chemicals kill everybody
MOURNER #1:
Die!
MOURNER #2:
And Die!
CORPSE:
I died!
[instrumental interlude. Much tap-dancing ensues.]
NUN:
Let Monsatan spill theirs
O’er mountain, hill, and plain
HOLY STATUES:
Fear will grip the people
Thanks to posts put up by Vain
EVERYONE:
Every germ is evil
Every germ in your food
Every germ’s contagious
They’ll all kill you too
Everything is toxic
Everything you eat is bad
If a toxin enters you
You will end up dead

Music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWZHDjzxqlc
Sung to the tune of "My White Knight", number 13 from The Music Man. The title is a reference to the subtitle of Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World: science as a candle in the dark.
This early version was rejected from The Music Van(i), due to the fact that it didn't serve to properly advance Marian's ideal of using the fruits of science to help humanity.
It's not just some pretentious bag of tricks. The scientific method is how you tell what's really right from what you want to be right. It's like lighting a candle in the dark!
My bright light;
Not a mandate, nor divine truth on wings
Just a way of knowing
That isn't afraid of uncomfortable things.
My bright light;
The best way to keep me from fooling myself!
Self-correcting, then and now! (or: Self-correcting, for centuries now!)
Account for experimenter bias,
Account for selection errors,
Placebo effects, nocebo effects —
A straightforward and honest thing
For peer review to catch, and reject or refine
'Til the end result will shine
And withstand the test of time
'Til new data show up;
It's more int'rested in evidence than in fame.
And if occasionally we ponder
What makes the universe tick like it does —
That I could love 'til I die!
That I mustn't let die....
My bright light;
Falsifyable, or it's not worth a dime
Stand on the shoulders of giants,
But don't be afraid to jump off if it's time!
My bright light;
Face the cold truth, while others embrace a warm lie. (or: Rather face a cold truth than embrace a warm lie.)
In the long run, we'll learn to fly!
If we try!
My Bright Light (2nd Edition) (.MP3 format), music by Meredith Willson, words by Mike Gorgone and Roger M. Wilcox, vocals by Roger M. Wilcox
Sung to the tune of "My White Knight", number 13 from The Music Man. This version emphasizes the benefits science can bring.
MRS. PAROO: Well, I just don't see how science helps anythin'. I like to know what I know.MARIAN: It's not just some pretentious bag of tricks, mama. Science is a way to learn, to grow. It helps us become more than we are now, by discovering things we never even thought were possible. It's like ... like lighting a candle in the dark. It's my bright light.
My bright light;
There's so much need for food far and wide.
Science has found so many ways
To grow more, and make more, and turn back the tide.
My bright light;
Well my heart just breaks to see science shut down.
It can teach us, show us how.
I want to end starvation,
I want to end malnutrition;
Science has created plans,
Straightforward and honest plans that you can see
Help farmers, do what they love for ev'ryone.
And I'd like people to see how science can be
A way to better health
And that if they'd just listen, it would teach.
The world is a place full of wonder.
To find how it works, and use that for all;
That I will love 'til I die!
That, I will not let die....
My bright light
Fights diseases, across such a wide range,
Finds new ways of curing
And helps to bring about life-saving change.
My bright light;
Let it shine through the dark, stop embracing the lies.
Truth and knowledge
Learn and fly!
Learn and fly!

music by Frederick Loewe, words by Mike Gorgone, vocals by Roger M. Wilcox
Sung to the tune of "Camelot", number 3 from Camelot. In the character of Donald Trump.

The Taxes I Won't Pay (.MP3 format), music by Frederick Loewe, words by Mike Gorgone, vocals by Roger M. Wilcox
Sung to the tune of "The Lusty Month of May", number 5 from Camelot. In the character of Donald Trump.
DISCLAIMER: U.S. tax law allows a business to carry losses forward into future tax years. I actually agree with this policy. The 916 million dollars that Trump lost in 1995 was money that had already had income taxes paid on it, back when it was originally earned. If he were taxed on any fraction of that money he made back in a later year, those earnings would have essentially been taxed twice. Allowing losses to offset future gains softens the blow of said losses, and encourages a business to (A) continue operating, and (B) take risks that it otherwise wouldn't be willing to take, both of which have an overall stimulating effect on the economy.

You (.MP3 format).
And if you can't get enough of my fake woman voice, here's a version with
just me filling in for Kellyanne Conway, and no Steve Bannon:
