China Doll

h/t David Murrell

With apologies to David Bowie:

Oh, little China doll
Oh, little China doll

I couldn’t escape this feeling with my China doll
I feel a wreck without my little China doll
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw these stars crashing

I’m a mess without my little China doll
Wake up in the morning, where’s my little China doll?
I hear her heart is beating, loud as thunder
I saw these stars crashing down

I’m feeling tragic like I’m Xi Jinping
When I look at my China doll
And I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China doll

I stumble into town
Just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It’s in the white of my eyes

My little China doll
You shouldn’t mess with me
I’ll ruin everything you are
You know
I’ll give you television
I’ll give you eyes of blue
I’ll give you a man who wants to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China doll says
“Oh, baby, just you shut your mouth”
She says, “Ssh”
She says “Ssh”
She says
She says

And when I get excited
My little China doll says
“Oh, baby, just you shut your mouth”
And when I get excited
My little China doll says
“Oh, baby, just you shut your mouth”
She says, “Ssh”
She says

Oh, little China doll
Oh, little China doll
Oh, little China doll
Oh, little China doll

  1. An excellent song parody, although I would argue the Grateful Dead’s “China Doll” — about suicide — is far more appropriate for this country.

    1. Not sure about either, but I appreciate hearing what China Doll was about. A little OT, but Hunter once said nobody ever asked what “China Cat Sunflower” was about…

      1. It’s a bit of a downer, to be honest, but worth a listen. Break the lyrics into a narrator, and two people in a conversation, and they make more sense.

  2. I’m thinking your PM has been seduced by a slant-eyed lady … just like Rod Stewart … Every Picture Tells a Story, don’t it?

    moved right out east, yeah
    On the peking ferry I was feeling merry, sailing on my way back here
    I fell in love with a slant-eyed lady by the light of an eastern moon
    Shanghai lil never used the pill, she claimed that it just ain’t natural
    She took me up on deck and bit my neck
    Oh, people, I was glad I found her
    Oh, yeah, I was glad I found here

    I firmly believed that I didn’t need anyone but me
    I sincerely thought I was so complete
    Look how wrong you can be
    The women I’ve known I wouldn’t let tie my shoe
    They wouldn’t give you the time of day
    But the slant-eyed lady knocked me off my feet
    God, I was glad I found her

    And if they had the words I could tell to you
    To help you on your way down the road
    I couldn’t quote you no dickens, shelley or keats
    ‘Cause it’s all been said before
    Make the best out of the bad, just laugh it off
    You didn’t have to come here anyway, so remember

    Every picture tells a story don’t it?
    Every picture tells a story don’t it?

  3. Don’t know about the pins being stuck in him but I suspect that if it were up to SDA commenters, there would more likely be a lot of large caliber holes it it

    1. It’s the perversity of the Canadian system. He’s loathed and despised by at least two-thirds of Canadian voters. Yet he remains in power propped up by Beijing and Jughead. What you are referring to might be the only way to get rid of him. We are not as civilized as the ancient Athenians who held an election every year to exile the city’s most hated politician. If an ostracism were held today, Justatwit would win it easily.

  4. Is this supposed to evoke pity, that poor Justin is everyone’s voodoo doll?

    The lying sack of crap devoted his political career to China. He coasted on rigged elections and bribes.

    Canadians let him do this.

    But if you have ONE American relative …

  5. A doll manufacturer would probably do well by making a Voodoo doll of this clown.I would partake of a NightlyRitual. Oh! and by the way, have you seen the Amazon Tranny commercial..girl with a mustache?.. Now there is a boycott.
