SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   Sheep shoots sleeping shepherd -- Cairo, Egypt -- Shepherd Mokhtar Adam Fadl was sleeping soundly beside his flock when he was shot dead. Hours later police found his killer.  It was one of his sheep, police officers said Thursday. The sheep killed Fadl by kicking his gun and accidentally firing it, the officers said, speaking on condition of anonymity.  The shot hit Fadl in the chest as the 20-year-old Bedouin slept in the desert near Sidi Barrani, northwest Egypt.  Police in the district of Marsa Matrouh said they confiscated the locally made gun as it was not licensed.  They took the sheep away, but not to prison.


Sheep CIA by Hyperabid
To the tune of "YMCA – Village People"

Hyp's Comments:  I have a conspiracy theory about this one…..

Verse 1:

Young sheep – Don't just stick to your lot
I said young sheep – Making wool and lamb chops
You can do more – Join the Sheep CIA
Make friends and learn new cultures

Verse 2:

Young sheep – We'll train you up right from scratch
I said young sheep – In wet work and setting traps
And when you've learnt – Stay with the sheep CIA
Throw your new friends to the vultures

Chorus:
Nah – nah – nah – nah – nah

It's fun to be in the sheep CIA
You get to bribe people both night and day
And if Greenbacks they fail
Just you waggle your tail
Woolly Mata Hari prevail

Verse 3:

Young sheep – I was once in your hooves
I was mutton – With nothing to loose
Then I joined up – Got into people abuse
And now Congress want to see me

Verse 4:

Young sheep – Just remember the code
If you get caught – You acted all on your own
In your trial – Just say you did for home
And you'll get off scot free like me

Chorus:
Nah – nah – nah – nah – nah

It's fun to be in the sheep CIA
You get to shoot people both night and day
And when the body is found
Just bleat when cops are around
And your secret it won't be found

Chorus to End
