Macarena Outlawed

Washington D.C.-- It has just been announced today that the highly controversial dance and song remix, the Macarena, has been banned from all radio stations, music stores, and dance clubs in America.

The ban is mostly due to the growing concerns around motions and lyrics from the song. Its irritating beat and annoying, redundant lyrics also contributed to its departure.

The president�s decision didn�t go unnoticed, however. People got a little upset after they were woken up at three o�clock in the morning and practically beaten to death for their Macarena Albums.

"They had a public burning for crying out loud," a tired and angry parent in Dallas, TX exclaims.

"Sure the President�s actions may seem a little extreme but in the end we will come out on top," An officer assured the neighborhood.

Others tried to voice their opinion by gathering outside the White House in a heated protest. Violent shattering of glass and uprooting of the President�s yard were just some of the horrifying images seen at the White House.

"Hey man I love the Macarena its what brought my family together and saved me from alcoholism and I am not going to just sit around and have it taken away from me," a protester comments as he is carted away by authorities. In the end 322 Macarena crazed maniacs are brought to jail.

Outside De Moines Mental Health Clinic, 59 devoted fans commited suicide to show their undying love for the song. "If only we didn�t make the building so tall this might have been avoided." a startled employee suggests, shocked at the appalling sight. Other patients in the clinic wrote to their congressman to tell him how they feel about the ban.

A recent poll showed exactly where America stood on the Macarena issue...


37% Didn�t like Ban
10% Liked Ban
53% Thought Macarena was some kind of food

So someone can�t help but wonder, how did the Macarena get to be a bigger issue than the O.J. Simpson trial?

Early this year the Macarena swept the air waves forcing mothers across America to shut off their radios whenever this "Song of Sin" was played. Worse yet a dance was made and named after the song. This involves questionable motions with your arms and hands. Nothing any moral person would indulge in.

Earlier this month reporters caught up with President Bill Clinton and after several attempts, three reporters, and one expensive camera we finally had an interview.

"Sure I like the dance as much as the next guy but this has to be stopped." The President stated, "It is getting out of hand. Everywhere I look its Macarena this and Macarena that its driving me insane. Thats why I�m launching my 'Massacre Macarena' campaign. This should motivate people to vote for me and stop listening to stupid music."

The President told us the "Massacre Macarena" campaign forces people to listen to 20 mins of Michael Bolton for every public display of the Macarena. This he feels will be effective. "I�ll have to totally divert all funding to this program but nothing is too good for my fellow Americans." The President comments.

He also informed us that the program will be cut by February next year and if there�s still a problem he will be forced to execute a sting operation to all the major music carriers in the nation and work down from there.
