*** First song by my new character Magnus Magnanimous, the pompous and authoritarian dictator. Magnus is used as a satire to mock the growing number of dictators and wannabe dictators over the world. Stand up against these people - always. Even if it is just by making silly songs that mock their real silliness. *** [Intro – Stadium stomp, snare rolls, brass fanfare] “I am Magnus Magnanimous. President-for-life, first of my name, founder of the People’s Republic of Me” ( Oooooooooh ) “Citizens… of me… let me sing!” [Verse 1] Oh land where all are equal ( Aaaah-aaaah ) If you’re standing next to me Where every voice is treasured ( Oooooooh ) Once approved by ministry Where laws are clear and simple ( Aaaah-aaaah ) (Obey the mighty ‘Me’) We raise our hands in freedom ( Oooooooooh ) As I count them all again [Chorus – Full glam stomp] [Crash of cymbals into power chord riff] Hail to me! ( Oooooooooh ) Your leader and your friend ( Aaaah-aaaah ) I will guide you to the future ( Oooooooh ) That I’ve planned from end to end Raise your glasses, bend your knee ( Aaaah-aaaah ) In the People’s Republic of Me ( Oooooooooh ) [Instrumental – Glitter guitar riff + brass hits] ( Aaaah-aaaaah-aaaaah! ) [Verse 2] From our schools of higher learning ( Oooooooh ) Correct answers pre-supplied To the news that keeps you smiling ( Aaaah-aaaah ) At the truth we’ve neatly tied To our health care free for citizens ( Oooooooooh ) At a modest monthly fee We are safe in every circumstance ( Aaaah-aaaah ) Except from questioning me [Chorus – Bigger choir harmonies] [Drum roll into anthem-like glam stomp] Hail to me! ( Oooooooooh ) Your leader and your friend ( Aaaah-aaaah ) I will guide you to the future ( Oooooooh ) That I’ve planned from end to end Raise your glasses, bend your knee ( Aaaah-aaaah ) In the People’s Republic of Me ( Oooooooooh ) [Bridge – Spoken over sustained choir note] “Democracy is sacred here… you may vote for any candidate… whose name rhymes with Magnus.” ( Oooooooooooooooooh! ) Yes! [Final Chorus – Maximum glitter & brass] [Power chord hit + marching snare + glam stomp] Hail to me! ( Oooooooooh ) Your sun, your moon, your sea ( Aaaah-aaaah ) May you live and may you prosper ( Oooooooh ) Exactly how I decree Stand and cheer, eternally ( Aaaah-aaaah ) For the People’s Republic of Me ( Oooooooooooooooooh! ) [Outro – Choir sustains “Oooooooooh” as guitars fade into brass fanfare]
