The iconic hit "Light My Fire" by The Doors, led by the late Jim Morrison, has been given a new lease of life.
However, this time it's not a tribute to the legendary rock group but a satirical spoof targeting Kamala Harris, titled "Big Fat Liar." The parody, crafted by Brian Coyne, blends footage from The Doors' 1967 performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show" with clips of Harris from her 2024 presidential campaign.
According to Gateway Pundit, the lyrics of the 2024 version are a pointed critique of Harris, accusing her of dishonesty and inconsistency. The lyrics include: "You always say what is untrue. You are a master falsifier. When somebody fact-checks you, Like a chameleon, you change your attire." The chorus repeats the phrase "Kamala's a big fat liar. Liar, Liar, pants on fire!"
The song also references Harris's alleged flip-flopping on policy issues and her avoidance of media interviews. "Kamala Harris has become the poster child for flip-flopping on everything from her ethnicity to policy," Coyne stated. He further accused her of stealing policy ideas from her opponent, Donald Trump, while having almost no policies of her own.
The parody has gained significant traction online, amassing over 716,000 views on YouTube since its release on September 2. It has also sparked a lively discussion, with more than 3,200 comments. Some of the comments include: "Never a truer word spoken!!! MAGA," and "This track should be released as a single a guaranteed Number 1 in America and probably the rest of the world."
The video's popularity has led to suggestions that it should be used in political rallies. One comment suggested, "Trump should play this at all his rallies on the big screen! LOL! OMG! EPIC! Everyone would be singing it!" Another user proposed, "Wow, this needs to be a campaign ad running 24/7."
The original "Light My Fire" was a chart-topping hit for The Doors in the late 1960s. The song's revival as a political parody is a testament to its enduring appeal and the power of music to communicate political messages. However, it remains to be seen how this satirical take will influence public opinion in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.
