Honorable Mention:

Rodney’s Bottom of The Barrel

–Sung To “Swing Low Sweet Chariot”

Swing Home, Sweet Choc-o-late
Make Nawlins your home.
Swing on home, Sweet Choc-o-late
Make Nawlins your home.

I looked over Pontchartrain and what did I see
(No buses for to carry them home)*
A band of new homeless people gunnin’ after me.
(bulldozers gonna bury their old homes)*

Swing Home, Sweet Choc-o-late
Make Nawlins your home.
Swing on home, Sweet Choc-o-late
Make Nawlins your home.

If FEMA don’t get blamed ahead of me,
(for not Makin’ Nawlins a safe home)*
I’ll need protection from N.O.P.D
(to Make Nawlins my safe home.)*

Swing Home, Sweet Choc-o-late
Make Nawlins your home.
Swing on home, Sweet Choc-o-late
Make Nawlins your home.

I’m sometimes up, but I keep gettin’ put down,
(for not Makin’ Nawlins a good home):
Most people think I’m some bad-ass’d Clown
(The circus could be my new home!)*

Swing Home, Sweet Choc-o-late
Make Nawlins your home.
Swing on home, Sweet Choc-o-late
Make Nawlins your home.

(*sung by the chorus, probably charles austin’s, Katrina and the Waves)
