When the Turkey Points at You! ... a South Miami original

This just in from "Bobnoxious" in South Miami ... the lyrics and .mp3 download link for a humble musical contribution to the ongoing "discussion" over the Turkey Point transmission lines coming through communities along US1.

We can't figure out how to upload audio to the Blogger platform, so we've taken the liberty of plugging it into video format "for your listening pleasure," below ...

If you're really interested, or think you may be able to get to Pete Townsend and Roger Daltry to re-record the original, the lyrics (er, "the rest") follow the video.



When the Turkey Points at You!
Music by the Who Squeezebox,
the rest by Fred Truby and Bob Welsh

Downtown’s got a building boom one tenth full at best
Two new nukes give Turkey Point a fright’ning excess
And they’re hummin’ all night and their sparks make a sight
Buildin’ up the power grid and Daddy never sleeps all night.

There’s an actor named Bob, from FPL
He tells us to conserve while his bosses say, “Sell”
And they’re hummin’ all night and their sparks make a sight
Buildin’ up the power grid and Daddy never sleeps all night

All the lobbyists in their business suits
Tellin’ all these lies for Flor’da Plunder’n Loot
And they’re hummin’ all night and their sparks make a sight
Buildin’ up the power grid and Daddy never sleeps all night

They cause cancer and Hodgkins and I’m not jokin’
That high voltage power lines are worse for you than smokin’
And they’re hummin’ all night and their sparks make a sight
Buildin’ up the power grid and Daddy never sleeps all night

A million more in Miami makes a hot city hotter
They can make more electric but they can’t make more water
And they’re hummin’ all night and their sparks make a sight
Buildin’ up the power grid and Daddy never sleeps all night

Remember Wilma, Hurricane Wilma
FPL’s lack of planning killed
Then they surcharged all our bills
Buildin’ up the power grid and Daddy never sleeps all night.
