Well folks, today is Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday. This year his birthday has become somewhat of a flashpoint due to the Presidential Primary race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.Some people have said that Hillary has dissed King’s legacy by saying that his dream needed President Johnson to come to fruition.
Some Obama supporters have also said that Bill Clinton’s use of the phrase, “Fairy Tale” was a slight to Obama, and perhaps had veiled racial overtones.
Some African-American voters, most notably Robert Johnson, the President of Black Entertainment Television, have referred through direct statement or innuendo, that Senator Obama is “not black enough”…whatever the hell that means.
I find the attacks on both camps incredibly inane. However, if Hillary or Barack feel the need to put these “issues” to rest on the birthday of the great MLK Jr., there are ways to address these racy problems.
For instance, Hillary can replicate walking a mile in a Black person’s shoes in 1960’s Alabama, by being tied up and being threatened with German Shepherds while being beaten down with a high pressure hose. For a little color, and a little sex, she should be dressed like Eartha Kitt (although I prefer Julie Newmar) in her Catwoman days. Purrrrrrrrr.
Now, I am sure Bill Clinton would be more than happy to show his love for the black folk by taking Tyra Banks out for a dinner of chicken and chitlins and then hosing her down with his Presidential pecker in the back seat of a 1988 Cadillac Coupe de Ville.
As for Barack, how do we “blacken” him up? Easy. He’s in Vegas for tonight’s Democratic debate. Why not hook up with Billy Dee Williams, grab a couple of 40 ounce Colt 45s, and walk the strip while checking out some fine lookin’ bitches? Skoal, Brutha!!
Offensive? Possibly. Incredibly ludicrous? Definitely…Much like the non-issue being made out of these allegations about the Clinton campaign and the “lack of blackness” of Barack Obama.
And now my friends, in an attempt to soften all of this political hatred, I offer you a song…Listen, enjoy and most importantly, put a little Huck in your heart.
Think of our troubled land
Sex between Stan and Dan
Put a little Huck in your heart
Your sperm is for procreation
Stop your masturbation
And put a little Huck in your heart
Take his hand, and walk that campaign trail
His governing plan, involves the Holy Grail
For you and me
If we vote for Huckabee
It’s Christ that he speaks upon
So get your Jesus Freak On
Put a little Huck in your heart
He’ll have the God Police takin’ notes
So don’t try to kill your zygote
Put a little Huck in your heart
He’ll defeat the evil axis
He’ll even cut your taxes
Put a little Huck in your heart
He’ll make our land safe and clean
When the AIDS patients have been quarantined
Put a little Huck in your heart
Take his hand, and walk that campaign trail
His governing plan, involves the Holy Grail
For you and me
If we vote for Huckabee
Cheers!!

I think you need to put a little "blackness" in your renditions, darlin'. You'd really bridge the gap then.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
I love how you avoid contraversy.
Bob Johnson is not exactly Malcom X ya know.
I look forward to the debate tomorrow, just to see how civil they all are. Im a wonk though
word
So far I have avoided all the debates, but I'm thinking I might watch the one tomorrow. I think at this point there is enough anger and resentment built up between Hillary and Obama that it could get interesting.
Or not.
Love the song, as usual. You should have your own TV show.
Huck-a-llelujah! Haha if Huck's elected Prez. that song will be solid gold!!
LOLOLOL
I do think the gauntlet has been thrown down!!!
Songbird: Damn, I knew I was missing a i lttle sumtin sumtin. Cheers!!
Marilyn: I try not to ruffle feathers. I'd just hate being known as a damn feather ruffler. Cheers!!
Sparky: Malcom X didn't own a TV network? Word, and Cheers!!
Jay: Thanks Jay...I just hope that during the debate, Hillary and Barack don't start throwing things and end up inadvertantly messing up John Edwards' hair. Cheers!!
Roger: I like that, Huck-a-lleujha...The Huckcabulary continues to grow. Cheers!!
TB: Wow, that sounds sexual when you say it. Yum-Oh. Cheers dear!!
Wow- Matt Man I think you have truly outdone yourself this time! Put a little Huck in your Heart is certainly my favorite of your songs now...
I shall say Cheers to you Sir!
Damn you and your hypnotic voice....
I WILL vote for Mike Huckabee
I WILL vote for Mike Huckabee
I WILL vote for Mike Huckabee
I WILL vote for Mike Huckabee
Doc: Why thanks. Have a bit of a dry throat so I wasn't in the best of voice, but then again, when am I? Cheers!!
Leighann: I am a svengali...a svengali...a svengali...Ommmmmmmm. Cheers!!
That video just might get you on Leno dear. ;)
Tink: Thanks, but I wouldn't want to cross the picket line. Maybe the Huckster could make it so I appear in the studio with Jay miraculously.
Thanks for stopping by, and Cheers!!
Yeah you're something alright!
xoxo
Leighann: And we are all trying to figure out just what that "something" is. Cheers!!
No controversy here! Great song as usual. You are such a cheerleader.(Where's your cute skirt and pompoms?)
Metal: I save that outfit for Huckabee, and Huckabee only. Cheers!!
Happy birthday Martin Luther King Jr!
Casdok: A great man indeed. Cheers!!
I'll have to come back latter for the video. It's not coming up for some reason. Must me the Huckelberry campaign hacking it.
Nice lyrics though soul brother.
I'd like to put a Huck in Box. Like his entire campaign. And bury it.
I have to comment on the supposed racism in the fairy tale comment. HOW FUCKING HARD did they have to work to make that one racist? Jesus. I think that had a bit more to do with that content Martin was talking about and less about color.
This was my big concern about Clinton and Obama and it is completely not their fault.
We have people finding racism in everything, we have Chris Matthews saying women making fiery speeches grate on men like fingernails on a chalk board. Not sure who he insulted more there. Women or men.
We have assholes referring to Obama as either a Muslim terrorist in hiding or a halfrican.
We have crazy old women on the Republican side asking McCain how to beat "the bitch" aka Hilary. And imagine if she had asked about Obama using the dreaded N word. That would NEVER have fade out like "bitch" did.
We are not even CLOSE to being as open minded as a society as we like to believe we are.
Jeff: It's not coming up on my scree now either. WTF? It just started doing that. I bet it's sabotage from the Romney camp. Godless Bastards. Cheers!!
Starrlight: Oh sure we have come along way, when the public eye is on people. But behind closed doors, there is still a bale full of racism, sexism, and um...assholeism. Cheers!!
The trouble with people who play the race card at every opportunity is that they are shitty poker players.
Huh?
Songbird: Y'know what takes me by surprise?...When a homosexual tries to pull an inside straight. At least let me know first. Cheers!!
Yeah, in desperation things are getting a bit silly on the confrontation front, but sitting on the outside, just think of it. THe two front runners on the Democratic side are a woman and a man of mixed immigrant parentage. How great is that?
The republicans? Well, you Huck song says it all...
Boy: Yes, having those two carrying the banner is a step forward in America as far as race and gender issues. We are also lucke here in the US, that unlike you guys in the UK, we didnt have the horror of visions of Magaret Thatcher naked on a cold day going through our heads. Cheers!!
At this rate, you'll have an entire album of songs... you should recird them and sell the cd.
108: I have 13 on You Tube now, but I don't think people want to hear 4 or 5 songs involving the Huckster. Cheers!!
Assholeism sounds like an unpleasant side effect with the weight loss drug Alli :P
Starr: I have heard that Alli is a bit of colon cleanser. Cheers!!
Starr: A good slogan for that stuff could be, "Shit, Drip, and Be Fit". Cheers!!
How can I be blacker...in certain key areas?
VE: Put up posters of Mable King and Shirley Hemphill posing naked in your bedroom. As far as your living room, I dont know how to make that area blacker. Wait...are we talikng about the same "areas"? Cheers!!
See, I need to leave the politics to you dear Matt, you actually care to understand...I mindlessly linked a post. Bad Penelope Anne.
I will NOT vote for Huckabee though, but I think you need to send these songs somewhere seriously dude, I mean it these our awesome. Shit, do I sound 80s or what????????
Love you my Bagwine fool.
Penelope: With 24 hour Cable News, Internet and other things it is easy to get confused by well edited sound bytes about candidates.
And thanks, I have already sent a couple of songs to some folks and have already gotten some responses. Cheers and Congrats, it looks like your poem is going to win!!
So, I made it through about three verses of your song. Niiice.
Matt, I'm running for the office of President of the United States of America. I would appreciate your vote. I am neither black enough nor white enough to hold office. Of that I am proud. I think. However, I'm certainly ignorant enough and that's what counts. Can I count on your support?
AUS!
Badway.
All those Jesus freaks are going to nail you again for this one Matt-Man. Okay the aids patients are going to be up in arms too. Bwahahahahah. You rock Matt-Man. :)
Nick: Damn you, I am announcing my Presidential platform tomorrow. So, maybe after reading it you will join me on my ticket. By the way mister, I know that you, unlike me have a life, but c'mon get back into the blogosphere and quit hoarding your humor. Cheers Dude!!
Sandee: Haaaa, sadly that's what Huck wanted to do with those patients. Thanks and have a great day Sandee. Cheers!!
What? No mention of Rangel?
Hahahah! Love the song!
Who woulda thunk the democrats would get all racial?
I have been so furious with all the media who keep throwing gasoline on the fire long after both campaigns have said STOP
You can't shut them up. If I were a candidate right now I would put out the word to all my surrogates that they will not appear on any news network until after the debate.
The American people deserve better than what CNN, MSNBC, and FOX are peddling.
Anndi: I dig Charlie Rangel. Cheers Anndi!!
Hammer: Dems are usually getting "facial". Cheers!!
Jamie: I agree. Unfortunately, it appears that that is what we are stuck with as far as the media goes. Cheers!!
OMG... how great is this. I was just talking about wanting to hear the voices of my readers and my fav blogs on my post from yesterday and Not only can I hear your voice, it's freakin' a "Grammy type A" voice.
If this blogs ever fails you, you should try out on American Idol.
Love it Matt-Mann. You are my hero. Cheers to you!
Jahooni: If you click on my You Tube Site on the left sidebar I have about a dozen songs. Thanks for for you more than deserved comment. Cheers dear and Have a good one!!
Jahooni: And by that, I meant that it was more than I deserved. Cheers!!
Matt-Man,
I already thunk it. I have listened to them all day while hear at work. Love Love Love
Jahooni: Well I am glad that my tone deaf offerings can take up part of your day. Cheers!!
I think I am already tired of the electioneering. I am ready to vote, but not for Huck.
Nick: Well don't give away your vote yet, mty platform comes out tomorrow. Cheers!!
I sang with you Matt-man, it was a lovely duet.
Lisa: I thought I heard an angel whispering in my ear, and along it was you singing. Cheers!!
When will your album be available at amazon or itunes?
Encore! Encore!
Put a little Huck in your Heart, LOL :)
Any thoughts on who Hillary's and Obama's VP's would be? I don't imagine folks are lining up to be Hillary's bitch.
It's gonna be a long year.
Sanni: I dont know but I do know that when it comes out I want a scantily dressed picture of you on the cover. Cheers!!
Kila: If things keep getting uglier, the winner better choose the loser to be his or her bitch in order to bring the party together. Thanks for the encore request. Cheers!!
The lyrics are inspired my friend.
Travis: DIVINELY inspired. Cheers Trav!!
i was totally paying attention, and then you started talking about cat woman and my boob got a woody and i couldnt concentrate. my bad
Tequila: I was wondering where that dent in my screen came from. I will cherish it always. Cheers!!
i hope obama wins!!! we need to stir things up a bit.... it's time for a change like this.
great blog you have here! found you thru my sister, jahooni.
Um Naief: Shaking things up, in any form, is usually good. Thanks for stopping and Cheers!!
Had to come back for the video.
Bravo!
Jeff: Why thank ya my good man. Cheers!!
I love the fact you put lyrics while we listen to your singing - as if your speech is slurred...well...sometimes it is because of the tequila!
Love you man!!! :D
Deb: Shhhhhh. Some people think my slurring is emphasis. Ha. Cheers Deb!!
