Name: I Don't Like John Wayne (radio edit)
Duration: P00H04M39S
Description: This is a radio edit of I DON’T LIKE JOHN WAYNE. It’s essentially the same as the album version, but with one line replaced to appease those of a sensitive disposition. I stand by the original lyric though, I believe he was the rude word I called him.

about

This is a radio edit of I DON’T LIKE JOHN WAYNE. It’s essentially the same as the album version, but with one line replaced to appease those of a sensitive disposition. I stand by the original lyric though, I believe he was the rude word I called him.

lyrics

Buster Keaton can't be beaten
On the silent screen, Buster reigned supreme
Fred Astaire makes me stare
When Fred and Ginger dance, it's a fine romance

But there is a star I can't abide
When he's on the screen I run and hide

I don't like John Wayne
I don't like John Wayne
I'm not a fan of westerns anyway
Well maybe Johnny Guitar is okay

But I don't like John Wayne
Something in my brain
Says I must complain
'Cos I don't like John Wayne

I think Bogie is okie-dokie
And Conrad Veidt, he is queidt alreidt
Ingrid Bergman is superb, man
And Myrna Loy gives me so much joy

But there is a guy I just can't stand
The scourge of every Native American

I don't like John Wayne
I don't like John Wayne
I don't like his views regarding race
I don't like his acting or his face!

I don't like John Wayne
Even just the name
Makes me scream in pain
Yeah I don't like John Wayne

That's just what I think so go on, sue me
At least he's not as bad as Mickey Rooney
