OMAROSA, THE MUSICAL

My friend, Tom Kuhn, sends me this email from the Bay Area:

Today’s Leah Garchik 🙂 [a newspaper column]

A musician I know, Jacob Garchik, tweeted last week that composers are starting to work on White House operas, “purely because of the melodic possibilities of setting the name ‘Omarosa.’”

 

Just after that, Noah Griffin, who writes and performs a song parody every Wednesday morning on Rick Wynn’s show on KSVY-Sonoma Radio, emailed his newest work, to the tune of Nat King Cole’s “Mona Lisa.” Sing along now:

“Omarosa, Omarosa, Omarosa/ You’re so like a lady with such caustic guile./ Since you’ve gone we’re lacking West Wing pigmentosa/ Searching high and low/ It’s fruitless honey chile./ Did you take us/ Write a book/ Then run for cover/ Or is that your way you planned it from the start?/ Many schemes are laid bare at your doorstep/ They’re denied there/ Classified there?/ Though you’re scorned, are you real Omarosa/ Or just the mole you played right from the very start?/ Omarosa, Omarosa.”

And just after that, Ben Bayol suggested, to the tune of “Oklahoma”: “Oooo-marosa, telling tales and making Trump insane/ She’s a tell-all gal/ Used to be his pal/ But now she’s turned into a pain …”
